A couple of weeks ago I picked up WipEout 2048 (Vita) after passing on the latest iteration of WipEout during the February Vita launch. It’s not as if I don’t like WipEout – the series has an awesome pedigree which originated on the PSOne (I still own the first two releases). More recently, I played [...]
[Editor’s Note: My 13 year-old son takes a turn contributing to the Recycle Bin with his impressions of DiRT3. Look for future articles from Joshua as he tackles the world of gaming and sports (mostly Falcons and UGA). You can find him online via his PSN account jscFALCONS.] DiRT3 is an amazing off-road racing game [...]
The early F1 2011 reviews are mostly positive, which is to be expected based on F1 2010 being well received. It is interesting reading TheSixthAxis reviewer’s take on the game. Before the summary, the reviewer discusses new F1 technical ‘innovations’ that are included in F1 2011 (KERS and DRS), but also mentions that casual gamers [...]
Dan Wheldon will be my new best friend, but only if I win the Indy Las Vegas $5 Million Challenge and of course Dan Wheldon brings home the checker flag. Is this a gimmick? You bet, but who gives a rat’s ass if you are the person cheering on Dan to bring you home some [...]
I am not an iRacing subscriber, but just had to post this bit I read at RACER.com: iRacing.com and McLaren Automotive today announced plans to build a virtual version of the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 racecar. The MP4-12C GT3 marries Formula 1 and innovative road car technology with GT3 specification performance enhancements to create a new [...]
Saturday brings us face-to-face with some random gaming nonsense. In other words, not predictable, something less than wholesome, and somewhat troublesome. Ricky Bobby: Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said…”I’m too drunk to taste this chicken.” It’s actually been a great week gaming; just not a lot of variety. Altered Beast [...]
I have been closely watching F1 2011, which looks incredible on multiple fronts – graphics, dynamic weather, key technical changes for 2001, AI improvements, and then some. Love this Q&A segment over at the EU official’ish blog. This time, is there going to be the facility to save the game midway through a race? There [...]
Or maybe we should have called this one the Trophy whore edition. Yes, while putting in a few hours of “fun” time, I have actually been doing a little Trophy chasing (i.e. being a total Trophy whore). Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet I am all in on this one, which is great fun [...]
Last week I spent my limited game time playing a hodgepodge assortment of games. Ferrari Challenge Not a great racing game, but it is fun. After watching some Le Mans Saturday and early Sunday morning, I am reminded that the PS3 would really use an updated version of Le Mans racing. At any rate, I’ll [...]
As a kid I always looked forward to getting new videogames in December (birthday and Christmas). I always held out hope that I was going to get a few new games, and they just had to be better than decent because I knew that my gaming library was not going to increase during the upcoming [...]
Over the last three weeks, starting right before the Thanksgiving break, I have been on a torrid (for me) gaming rampage. I think I have logged more hours on my PS3 (and even a few on the oft forgotten PSP – Ghost of Sparta) than I did in total January through October. I have to [...]
I am not a huge shopper, except for the stay at home and click on Amazon kind of shopping. This year (at least so far today) I did not see a whole lot of deals that I just had to get. The tally today is FIFA 11 (DS) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) for [...]
Racing nirvana? Probably not based on past Gran Turismo titles, however I hope it is a damn good driving experience. It has been a while since I have actually been around the house on a major “release” day. Thanks to having several days off, I should get in plenty of time with the game. Upon [...]
Yesterday I threw up an article congratulating myself for completing Afrika, in the process achieving my first Platinum trophy. This is a great segue into a recent IGN article titled “Why Don’t We Finish More Video Games?” It is a damn good question, and the article brings out a few interesting points that I shall [...]
You can tell by the title of this post that I am impressed. I spent some time with the game last night in the career mode and running some Time Trials. For career, I started out by picking STR-Ferrari. For my first race I was tasked with qualifying 15th and finishing the race 12th. Of [...]
