Johnny Fanboy's Game of the Year.

Introduction from the Outlaw:Hello everyone. We just hired a new writer who wishes to be known as Johnny Fanboy. We haven't set up his account just yet, so he will be sending all his work to me. He wants to make damn sure you all know he wrote this and not me even though I posted it, because in his words I am "a faggy fagnub who faggingly gave a fag score to Halo: Reach because it wasn't fagging high enough... because [I] am a fag." So without further adieu, Johnny Fanboy.GAME OF THE YEAR: HALO REACHHALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Hey fags and faggettes, this is Johnny Fanboy telling you what the real game of the year is:...

The Outlaw's Game of the Year!

Well everyone, it's New Year's Eve which means it's time for me to look back on 2010's gaming catalog and choose my game of the year, my runner-up, and my biggest disappointment. It also means that I have to take time out from getting hammered to write this. So let's get on with it!GAME OF THE YEAR: MASS EFFECT 2If this blog existed back when Mass Effect 2 came out, Stephen and I probably would have killed each other fighting over who got to review it. The thing is Mass Effect 2 was brilliant for a billion different reasons. For one, it took a really good game and improved everything about it. The shooting was better, the graphics were better,...

Game of the Year from The Good Doctor

Well, 2010 is finally over. And personally I’m glad. My 21st birthday is ten days from now, more video games will be coming out soon, and most importantly, the first decade of the 21st century is over. Now people finally have no excuse to refer to the date as “two thousand-whatever.” It’s “twenty-eleven” now. OH WAIT NOT VIDYA GAMES. Anyway, this all in all was a pretty good year for gamers. We had games like Halo: Reach, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Returns, Sonic 4, and others. Like any year, there are some that don’t measure up though, but here, for me, at least, are the two games most deserving of the title “Game of the Year.” ...

Game of the Year from ManusDei!

The Good, The Better, and The Unfortunate.  Welcome to ManusDei's Game of the Year article. First of all, I would like to wish everyone a safe New Years and a fantastic 2011. Also, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, whatever it may have been. What follows is my personal snapshot of this year in gaming. But enough with pleasantries. You do not read our articles to find warm and cozy wishes or to feel better about yourself. No. You read them because you want to know our honest, somewhat broken, and always entertaining views of what is going on in the gaming world. If you do not fall into that category, pretend that you do. Then it...

The Outlaw's Favorite Game Moments: Armed and Dangerous

Please tell me someone else played this hidden gem! Armed a Dangerous came out last generation and it still stands as one of if not the funniest game I've ever played. It was the story of a hero, an old man, a robot, and a Scottish mole man and their quest to overthrow an evil ruler. The journey along the way involved zeppelins, overdoses of medication that led to hallucinations of penguins, a lady in a pond, lepers, etc etc.However, while I only remember a few jokes and the basics of the plot, there is one thing I'll never forgot. The land shark gun. Yes, you read that right. The game had a land shark gun. It had other ridiculous weapons as...

The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: Mass Effect 2

No! Wait! It's not what it looks like, I promise! Seriously though, when I look back and gauge this game (I am also currently replaying it) I constantly tell myself how absolutely perfect this game is. (In my opinion) The universe, the characters, the gameplay (mostly) and the story all set up such a fantastic epic I find that I cannot identify anything wrong with the game, almost. Despite all its glory, there is literally one thing about the jewel that is Mass Effect 2 that I just can NOT stand. Planet Scanning. Doesn't THAT look fun?! Even this guy, who is wasting his time posting a video on YouTube on how to find the biggest deposits...

The Elitist's Favorite Video Game Moments: Devil May Cry 4

Late Feature is Late!!  Devil May Cry has always been well known for it's ridiculously well choreographed combos and fight sequences. Devil May Cry 4 was no different. In fact, one of the first scenes in the game is one of my personal favorite cut-scenes of all time. Allot of people complained after the release of DMC4 that there was no need for Nero, that he was a little whiny bitch-face blah blah blah. Fan boys cried and fussed because their precious Dante wasn't center stage. (I guess they are really pissed off now eh?) Anyway, I thought Nero was an awesome character, worthy of being involved in the DMC universe. Take a gander. You...

The Outlaw's Least Favorite Game Moments: Paying Tingle in Windwaker

I remember when Wind Waker came out when I was in middle school and everyone I knew was complaining about how it looked. I, however, was not among them because I am not a little bitch. Anyway, the game was absolutely beautiful and I loved every minute of it... Well maybe not eveeerrrry minute. This is a least favorite article after all. "So what could this moment be," you ask stupidly as the answer is in the title. Well, dear reader, it is paying that obnoxious little "fairy" (hey, he says he wants to be one) Tingle for deciphering your maps.You see, after you get the master sword you have to power it up using pieces of the Triforce. In order...

Dead Space 2: The Sprawl Trailer.

News post! So first off, I want to apologize for our minimalism as of late, we are currently in the throws of final exams for this semester, so we have been pretty busy with the studies and that school thing.

The Outlaw's Favorite Game Moments: Aladdin Monkey Times!

Does anyone remember the Genesis version of the Aladdin game and how great it was? I do. And in honor of the Disney love that will soon be pouring out of your speakers when you listen to our yet to be posted second podcast, I decided to bring you a quick moment from this old gem. The game is full of fun little moments and references, two of them being in the second level. One is some Mickey ears hanging out to dry on a clothes-line. The second is a hilarious little moment that this article is actually about. And it is brought to you by Aladdin's mischievous monkey sidekick, Abu. Watch the video below. The moment I speak of is at about 3: 38.Looks...

The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Golden Sun Dark Dawn is here! If you have a DS and like Golden Sun go play it! It's fun I love it, and I shall have a review up for it within a week or so. I want to get some quality time on it. That being said, I have experienced one part of the game that sent me into blindingly beastly bouts of barbaric, burning, and baby beating rage. (too much?) that moment would be the games prologue. So, the game starts off 30 years after the events of Golden Sun 2, Isaac, Garet and crew are old and have children! So the player controls, primarily, Isaac's son: Matthew. Well, at the beginning of the game, Garets son Tyrell is an idiot and ends up getting...

Epic Mickey

Dear friends and readers, have you found yourself down in the dumps lately? Depressed? Saddened by the events in your life? Well, I have the perfect solution for you. The name of this wonderful miracle cure, you ask? Why, it is none other than Epic Mickey! The best Wii game of the year!Alright, so I suppose it's time for some background. A long time ago in a land called Universal Studios, a man named Walt Disney created a character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. However, his bosses were cruel masters, and ripped Oswald away from him. So he left this kingdom and created his own. He then invented Mickey Mouse and the rest is history. However, in...

Donkey Kong Country Returns Review

It's been forever since we've had a true Donkey Kong game. Hell Donkey Kong hasn't even been the main focus of a legit game since Donkey Kong Country 1. Well, now retro studios has finally given us a reason to care about the big ape again, but is it any good? Read on brave adventures, and discover the truth!First off, the base of the game brings things back to their roots. It's just Donkey and Diddy in a sidescrolling adventure trying to get their bananas back. That's where things start to veer off, however, and not in a bad way. The first big difference is how Diddy is utilized. Instead of him trailing behind you, waiting for you to switch...

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood: Vittoria Agli Assassini!!

Victory to the Assassins! (I think) Let me take the typical "let me take a moment before I start to.." intro to take a moment before I start to ask you a few questions. Did you like Assassins Creed? Did you like Assassins Creed2? Did you like Assassins Creed 2 a little more than the first one because it wasn't *quite* as repetitive? If you answered yes to any of the above questions (and especially if you answered yes to all of them) let me save you some reading time by saying, just go get the game. If you are unsure still, continue on I shall, because I love you. D'aawww. So I suppose I'll begin by hating it, so when I realize in the second...
