In honor of the 140th racing of the Belmont Stakes, I figured that I would give you a short list [in no particular order] of horse racing games. You know, cause if you can’t actually race a horse you might as well play a sim of racing a horse.
#1 Gallop Racer 2006 – Available for the PS2 and it got a rating of B- from 1up.
#2 Horse Racing Tycoon – For PC and it’s definitely a “bargain” at 7 bucks.
#3 Final Stretch-Horse Racing Sim – This bastard is $59.86…hope it’s worth the dough.
#4 Quarter Pole Thoroughbred Racing – I …read more

I’m such a looser.
I started thinking about games that I need to play and then I realized that I suck at completing games. I think the most recent game that I’ve actually finished was Okami.
How long ago was that? A while ago.
I’ve beaten Oblivion and Shivering Isles [if you can ever beat those games] but I didn’t have the balls to beat Drake’s Fortune.
Well, in my defense of that one, Drake’s is like a movie that you get to interact with occasionally. The husband was playing Drake’s on his own save and I was watching him play …read more

The above is a 10-minute Resident Video 1.5 (RE 2 prototype) video which stars Elza Walker & Leon Kennedy.
Resident Evil 1.5 has never saw the living daylights, with Elza Walker being axed.

God of War 2

I must be the only person in “the industry” who thinks this is a bad idea. Or, if others feel as I do, I haven’t found where they’ve writing said opinion.
Well, I feel like crap today so I’ll use that as my excuse for being the asshole.
God of War: The Movie is a bad idea. Plain and simple.
The first God of War game rocked. It introduced a new way to kill things with all of its head wrenching goodness. The manic button pushing to kill sea monsters was tons of fun. And, who didn’t love …read more

DS kicked some major console ass last week according to Media Create.
The “little hand held that could”, sold 124,627 in Japan, up from 116,694 the week before.
The next closest system was the Wii with 54362.
Microsoft’s 360 got a thorough spanking and only moved 7117 units.
If the DS keeps on selling like it’s selling, it will beat the PS2’s sales records by early next year.
I guess I’m going to have to jump on the DS bandwagon. The games keep getting better and the system keeps getting cuter and cuter.
And you know, when it comes to choosing a console, I always …read more

Singapore may be small but we do have our own legion of Guitar Hero fanatics who can pose with their precious Guitar Hero’s guitar just about anytime, anywhere, with any costume when doing anything.

In the bedroom with a kool look.

Kids, don’t try this at home.

When you are having serious business.

The OMFG pose.

Go ahead and print this post out for Santa because you’re going to want almost all of these games under your Christmas tree.
Mass Effect comes out this week for the 360 and the screenshots and plot have me wishing that this wasn’t a 360 exclusive game. There’s nothing like a little girl-on-girl action to really get the buzz going around a game. I hope you pre-ordered.
Another game that Santa might have a problem getting his creepy hands on is Rock Band. With the success of Guitar Hero 3, this promises to set some records and take the “band …read more

Guess what’s coming out tomorrow for PS3. [and XBox 360]
Assassin’s Creed! Yippee!
Quoting from Game Spot here, “The first game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise…”
Franchise? Did I miss something?
I guess so.
Here I’ve been waiting for just the game [for over a year] and now they’re talking franchise.
Well, slap my ass and call me Sally!
UBI Soft is releasing their movie tie-in Beowulf for the 360, PC and PS3 and PSP.
The story bored me and I hate games [and books] that are made from movies.
Maybe it won’t suck, but I’m not holding my breath.
Blacksilk: Area 51 is being launched this week …read more

It’s that time of year, dear readers.
A time of goblins and ghouls and witches on brooms.
Ok.
Who am I kidding?
It’s time to go trick-or-treating [aren't you a bit old for that?] and dress up like a super slutty bar maid.
In honor of my favorite holiday, I figured that I would give you some links to some great games.
Some are blatant Halloween games; some are just plain scary.
Halloween games
Undead Smackdown – Ben and Jerry’s version of wack-a-mole…except you’re whacking zombies with a shovel.
Tomb Chess – Clear your “graveyard” of your opponent’s “ghouls”.
Transylmania – Turn all of the invading villagers into the …read more
