Some Clarification... Forgive and Forget

Hey kiddos, The Elitist here to clear some of the air. You may (or may not... in which case... just ignore this) that The Outlaw's Gears review was reported to have been stolen based on the comment from xxadverbxx. Upon investigation we found that the report was true. This was my face all day when this happened. An article from Daily Gaming Network was quite...

Resident Evil Chronicles HD to PS Move

Wii exclusive Resident Evil Chronicles HD remake has been announced to release for PS3 with Move support. No price or launch data has been announced With the Move being so similar to Wii in mechanics, it seems third party developers who wanted to utilize the Wii's unique style are now deciding to use PS's similar product, taking advantage of Sony's more powerful console. The game itself is composed of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Between them each, the player will experience events based around Resident Evil 0 - 4 and Code Veronica, as well as play as the characters in each story:...

What I Like This Week: Minecraft Halloween

Good day, dear readers of the best blog in the galaxy! This week I've found a brilliant combination of video games and Halloween in the form of a contest being held by the people at worth1000.com. Their Minecraft Halloween contest features nineteen spooky Minecraft creations which, in my opinion, are pretty dang impressive. Here are a few of my favourites...

Huh? I..Write... Things? (Random Castlevania DLC Opinion..thingy...)

What is this... why am I here? This place... these things... so familiar... yet so distant... So yeah, hey guys, apologies. School. Anyway, I recently re acquired Castlevania Lord of Shadows (courtesy of Gamefly) with the intent of finally playing through the DLC hoping it would shed some light on the rather controversial ending of the game itself. While it did, with brilliant story telling and dialogue, I might have been happier just watching videos of the DLC.... The story telling, the dialogue, the background and the overall plot were pretty interesting. I was awesome to see  Gabriel change from the noble warrior for good,...

Grand Theft Auto V Announced

And by announced I mean we got this logo with the promise of a trailer coming out next week. Nevertheless, this is still exciting as it means we might start seeing more come out about it slowly. Of course, knowing Rockstar it'll be a slow trickle. There's also the fun of watching all the internet speculation. That "V" and "FIVE" are indicative of United States currency! It'll be about... money! Here's hoping the trailer will reveal a lot more! Let the rumor mill start a' churni...

What I Like This Week: Bricks of War

This week's find comes from an outfit named Kooberz Studios. It's an awesome animation entitled "Bricks of War" in which Gears of War 3 is represented in LEGO form. Yeah. Freakin' awesome. Of course, my favourite part is where Marcus chainsaws some hapless locust, cos, well, I bloody love chainsawing things. Anything. Anyway, this is an extremely well-made production including a Corpser, the Hammer of Dawn, grenades, and great sound effects from the game. I love it, and we here at the O&E commend Kooberz Studios for their work. We hope to see more from them, maybe a LEGO Skyrim or something along those lines. We can only...

Back from the Dead, it's El Jefe

Hello and good day to you, dearest reader of the greatest blog in the galaxy! I know it's been quite some time since I've had any contact with you, and for that, I apologise. Things have been rough lately on nearly all fronts (luckily the Eastern Front seems to be holding, though I fear a Cossack breakthrough at any moment), and I've been remiss in being able to sit in front of a computer and coherently do anything besides churn out history papers. It's a curse. I'm serious. If you are an exorcist or some sort of person with any experience in the occult, I'd really like your help with this. Anyway, a lot has happened since I disappeared...

Here is a picture for for you.

Whilst practicing drawing expressions with my new nib for my tablet, I happened to draw that dashing dwarven rogue, Varric Tethras. And then I spent two hours on it. Oops. Well at least I have something to post here now (for once)! Enjoy and whatnot. Creepy Varric is creep...

Is the Jak and Daxter Series Getting an HD Release?

I, for one, certainly hope this rumor is true. It is very rare that a series can go through a semi gritty reboot and still turn out fun as hell. Sure, I'm still a little freaked out by the fact that Jak's first words in the series, after a colorful and playful romp in Jak and Daxter, were "I'm gunna kill Praxis." But Jak II and III were just so... fun! The guns, the alternate forms; it made the transition worth it. I'm looking at you Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. At present time this is just a rumor, albeit a promising one. In addition to the fact that we've seen several of these re-releases, South African retailer BT Games has listed...
