Dante’s Inferno: Can we say GoW Rip-Off?

Dantes Inferno Xbox360

Dante’s Inferno is the lat­est release from Vis­ceral Games, a sub­sidiary of EA Games. For Orig­i­nal­ity, I give it a straight “F”, since it is bla­tantly a copy of God of War 3. From game mechan­ics, to boss bat­tles. But what it is lack­ing in orig­i­nal­ity, Dante’s Inferno  makes up for in creativity.

If you are a God of War fan, I would say you will see what I am talk­ing about within the first 5 min­utes of game­play. The only dif­fer­ence, is that the twin swords have been replaced with a scythe. But does that make it a bad game? If you are a PS3 owner, there is no sub­sti­tute for God of War 3, but if you are an Xbox 360 owner, Dante’s Inferno is a nice sub­sti­tute for the PS3 title when you need a fix of  vio­lence and nudity.

God of War 3: A closing triumph for a legendary title

by webmaster on Mar.24, 2010, under Playstation 3 Game Reviews

gowTitlePicGod of War has been the land­mark title for Sony since the launch of PS2, but hon­estly it was one of the few games I have never had expe­ri­ence with.

Then the arti­cles and buzz began to fill my ears, of a new final install­ment on this fran­chise. At that time, I began to won­der to myself, is this title tru­ely up to its hype? Or is it yet another title that Sony mar­kets that is not worth the cost to cre­ate it?

Mayweather: “The Greatest?”.…not even close

by Knucklehead on Nov.09, 2009, under Boxing News, Welterweight Boxing News

It's all about the "Money"

It’s all about the “Money”

Floyd “Money” Mayweather.…a very fit­ting name for the Las Vegas based boxer, as his moniker embod­ies every­thing this once excit­ing fighter is all about these days.

While per­haps the most tal­ented fighter since a young Roy Jones, May­weather has care­fully avoided the best, most com­pet­i­tive and rel­e­vant fights in box­ing since his days as a 130 and 135 pound cham­pion. Rather than give the fans that made him rich the fights they deserve to see, he and his han­dlers have adopted the “Low Risk/High Reward” strat­egy, cit­ing money as the rea­son he avoids the real threats to his per­ceived supremacy.

This arti­cle is not meant to be a Floyd bash­ing party, but rather an hon­est assess­ment of his career, his great­ness and what defines true great­ness in the sport of box­ing. (con­tinue reading…)

24/7 Pacqiauo V Cotto Round 3

by webmaster on Nov.09, 2009, under Boxing News, Welterweight Boxing News

The 3rd episode is com­plete and the fight is soon, so what does that mean for these two trainers?

There was really noth­ing to excit­ing about the 3rd episode of HBO’s box­ing doc­u­men­tary 24/7 this week. Just some vanilla video footage of the daily rou­tines of the fight­ers. There was a cou­ple of snip­pets I would like to com­ment on though, a cou­ple of small items of inter­est that caught my eye. (con­tinue reading…)

Borderlands: Could a Post Holocaust World be this Fun?

by webmaster on Nov.08, 2009, under XBOX 360 Game Reviews

Rat­ing: ★★★★★

“There ain’t no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good!”

Borderlands Xbox360

Bor­der­lands Xbox360

The title song for this excep­tional game says it all. Bor­der­lands is the lat­est release by 2K games. A highly antic­i­pated game to say the least. Amped up by down­load­able demos and videos from the Xbox Live Net­work. This game promises a child of RPG and FPS gam­ing styles, and although I was wary it would resem­ble Fall­out 3 (sorry I was not impressed with that game), Bor­der­lands pro­vides some­thing a lit­tle different.

A styl­ized world, the game uti­lizes the grow­ingly pop­u­lar illus­tra­tion type  graph­ics. A merg­ing of clas­sic 3D and 2D fil­ters, pro­vides a gritty and enter­tain­ing gam­ing envi­ron­ment, and the vio­lence is just over the top enough to make it hilar­i­ous (you never get tired of run­ning over mutants and skaggs in your vehi­cle).

Is it the end for Taylor?

HBO promotional poster for Jermain Taylor vs. Winky Wright

HBO pro­mo­tional poster for Jer­main Tay­lor vs. Winky Wright

Admit­tedly, Jer­main ‘Bad Inten­tions’ Tay­lor (28–17-1 with 4 losses) has never been one of my favorite boxers.

Although he has been a favorite of my friend, and fel­low writer I have never been impressed. He has a great phys­i­cal tal­ent, but he has late round sta­mina prob­lems, and an all to fre­quent habit of los­ing all thoughts of strat­egy the longer the fight pro­gressed. But with his first loss in the mid­dleweight ‘Super 6 Cham­pi­onship’ to Arthur Abra­ham by a mas­sive knock­out in the 12th round (with only 10 sec­onds left no less), could it be the end if he is elim­i­nated alto­gether?
