This game is still in my top whatever of all time. The only unfortunate thing is that the Dreamcast version is still, in my mind, the definitive version. The way they melted the screen with blur effects between stages and held onto that constant framerate, combined with the mixing of the music that the HD 360 version Read more

I'd argue that it's a pretty good game for the first four levels. Fun, Panzer Dragoon shooting never gets old, unique aesthetic, pretty decent music.

Rez is still the epitome of videogames to me. It is the purest experience I've ever played (sadly, Child of Eden couldn't come close to matching it). It is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an experience you can only truly have in videogame form, making it rather unique (especially for its time). Everything about it Read more

I miss Rez HD. I feel like I should buy myself a new Xbox 360 just for that damn game... I sold my 360 last year, because it never got any play, but I totally miss Rez. :,( Read more

My cube mate in 2001 was the lead tester on this game. He was also one of the most insane SHMUP players I have ever seen in my life. Dude could wreck Rez so hard. It was highly distracting sitting there trying to test Sonic Adventure 2, while he was sitting there destroying Rez. Also, he was a super chill dude, and I Read more

Great game, but the final boss is way too unforgiving in a really unfair and annoying way. Not in an endearing way. The game has limited continues + they don't give you any leeway with how you take down the final boss. It's either perfect execution or you fail. That kind of boss mechanic just really annoys me. And it Read more

The Handsome Collection bundles together new-gen versions of the last two Borderlands games for the Xbox One and PS4, along with all the DLC for those games. Out on March 24 in the U.S. and March 27 everywhere else,, it'll also have four-player splitscreen for folks who dig that sort of thing. Sadly, the Handsome Read more

The porting of previous saves is only within the same console family as per the announcement video. No 360 to PS4 or PS3 to Xbox One like GTA 5 can do :( Read more

The lack of original Borderlands (the still superior one in my book) is saddening.

However, local 4-player split screen makes up for it! Read more

my agoraphobia kick in whenever a game glitches, and shows me the endless void beyond the level. Read more

Though we touch on it briefly in this episode, that Halo Slam video is super fun to watch in its entirety.

Thank you so much for sharing the event, at the end of the day we want folks to be able to not be afraid of having discussions like this in the gaming space. We are hoping that #Spawn4Good will be a platform that all gamers in some aspect will be able to get behind and share. Being able to talk about these issues Read more

I still find it weird these gov't agencies have twitter accounts. Are they posting stuff for #mancrushmondays? Read more

The Internet police are real. They will backtrace you. And 7 proxies are not enough. Read more

So, would a stillbirth be the equivalent of glitching to the end credits without completing any levels? Read more

Why we like it: Marvel Comics have a long, beloved tradition of speaking to the times in which they're created, with characters shot through foibles of all sorts. The newest heroine in the publisher's fictional universe continues that trend for the 21st century. She looks and sounds a teenager of the now: a child of Read more
