Pre-Game of the Year: The Conclusion

Thursday, January 6th, 2011 by Hamsterman2049

There were a lot of awesome games released in 2010.  Five in particular really piqued my interest throughout the year however, and I spent the last month playing the games that came before them.  To review, my favorites of the past year were as follows:  Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Red Dead Redemption and God of War III.  Now, the time has come for me to nit pick my way to deciding which among them was my favorite of the year.  Hit the jump to join me on this grand journey through last years best.

Pre-Game of the Year: Part 1

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 by Hamsterman2049

This year has been a great one for video games.  One thing I have noticed about the games I’ve liked this year, is that they were all either direct sequels or spiritual successors to past games.  Since greatness doesn’t just pop out of nowhere, what I want to look at is not the games themselves, but what came before each of them.  In this five part series, I’ll be playing the game that came directly before my favorites from this year.  Indigo Prophecy will be my first stop as I explore the predecessor to this years hit Heavy Rain.

Multi-Colored Seal-Nosed Mote Report: Heavy Rain

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010 by Hamsterman2049

Earlier this year, Quantic Dream graced us with the presence of a game I would call one of my favorites of the year so far.  Heavy Rain is one of those games I keep wishing I could go back in time and experience for the first time again.  The story is top notch and the controls bordered on revolutionary.  Recently, they released a free update to include support for Sony’s Seal-Nosed Mote.  I’ve gotten a chance to give it a go and I can definitely say I’ve rendered an opinion on the subject.  Do the new controls add something to the gameplay, or was it just an unnecessary add-on to promote our favorite multi-colored accessory?

Multi-Colored Seal-Nosed Mote Report: Sports Champion

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010 by Hamsterman2049

When the Playstation Move was originally announced, I showed a picture of it to my girlfriend.  She looked at the picture of the device and immediately dubbed it the “Multi-Colored Seal-Nosed Mote”.  Since then, I have referred to Sony’s motion controller as such.  On friday, I picked up the Seal-Nosed Mote with the Sports Champions bundle and played a heck of a lot of that game.

Scare Yourself Stiff with The Taxidermist

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 by Hamsterman2049

I got a chance to sit down with Heavy Rain Chronicles: The Taxidermist last night and boy is my heart tired.  In this prologue to the full game, you play as Madison Paige investigating a possible Origami Killer suspect.  Little does she know that, while he may not be the one she’s looking for, at least she’s good at finding murderers.

Poor poor Madison Paige. She just can’t catch a break. Maybe if she stopped looking for serial killers, she would stop finding them.
