Game Addiction Blog

Basically it would have sucked.

Last Wednesday a Xbox live Arcade game was released named Castle Crashers.

Now this game is pure awesomeness.

In essence it’s a 4 player Beat-’em up with RPG elements.

The game is sort of like a cross between Golden Axe and River City Ransom, now since both those games rule big time, when you put those together you get something made of awesomeness.

You take on the role of four knights with different colors and varying magic spells available. They also offer many unlockable characters and spells and weapons.

In the game you are set out on a quest to rescue kidnapped princesses.

The game offers only 4-5 hours of gameplay in story mode but it does have tons of room for replayability as well as a vs mode.

The game game has some great sense of humor and highly stylish cartoony graphics.

I haven’t played it a lot because I want to play with others and not by myself but then does the biggest problem come. the Online mode is broken. Most of the time it doesn’t work and if you do get it to work it’s likely it will drop at some point and progress will be lost.

I’ve heard that their servers are being hammered as evident by their websites which have “Website is getting slammed. Working on resolving the issue. Thanks!” message that it’s being flooded by visiting people.

Hopefully this will be sorted soon enough but this game has obviously been met with greater anticipation then they thought it would.

I really really really recommend you go check it out if you have a Xbox 360, it’s totally worth it.

I really haven’t been doing much for the site lately have I?

You can blame laziness on it…the bane of all productivity.

Not gonna let it stop me from doing some reviews of movies I saw in the cinema and perhaps noteworthy gaming related posts tomorrow.

Also here is a drunken bicycle accident which happened at a local festival at the start of the month, oh and before you ask he lives and only broke his face.

Ouch that’s gotta hurt yet at the same time it brings me pleasure since it’s so hilarious. :p

It had to happen that I’d post this ridiculous scene from some crappy movie.

If the horrible over acting and oily skinned macho dudes fighting doesn’t make you cringe, those one liners at the end are sure to do that.

I finally got around to finishing Metal Gear Solid 4.

First things first, this game is easily one of the best games I have played and certainly the most cinematic game to boot.

Playing this game really makes you think you are in a action movie.

Both thanks to the amazing gameplay and graphics, that are so good they are used for the cutscenes so there is no pause when going from cutscene to gameplay then there is of course hours of cutscenes to watch. The last cutscene alone was like 40 minutes or more.

It’s everything the earlier installments were, just better in every single way imaginable.

That says a lot about a game right there.

The story is way overly complicated, really hard to follow at times, it really is a must to have played MGS1-3 to really understand what is going on.

Of course the story is still very elaborate and good and it’s cinematic quality stands out, I remember when I played MGS1 first, it was totally different from anything that had come out before it because there was a distinct difference between games and movies at that time.

Now Hideo Kojima, the man behind Snake and his illustrious Career has long since announced that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be his last.

However he has since announced that though he might not be working on it anymore, that doesn’t mean that Metal Gear isn’t going to continue on in some form or the other.

I don’t know if it’s going to work without Hideo Kojima since he is the brains behind the series but I will still keep my eye out for a new Metal Gear game.

Anyway enough about MGS, it seems that the new Bionic Commander game coming for PC,PSN and XBL has been given a release date and it’s just next week at $10 for PSN and Xbox Live Arcade but for no apparent reason it will cost $15 on PC.

Also while PC version will launch on August 14th and the XBLA version will be available on August 13th the PSN version for Japan and US will arrive on August 13th but EU release date hasn’t been announced.

Oh I think it’s worth mentioning but tomorrow will mark 2 years since I first posted on this site. I can hardly believe it has been that long. The site has changed a lot in that time and grown in popularity, and by grown I mean, has a few RSS feeder readers and few hits there and here from google and of course my banner on CAD forums.

Back then I didn’t plan this site out to be a gaming blog but in the end that’s what it turned into maybe because they are and always shall be something I find interesting.

So happy birthday GAB!

Yes, I am in fact alive.

I’ve just been away on vacation with no access to the internet so I couldn’t update the site. But I’m back now and will start to update it with something soon.
