After 6 years of development, multiple delayed release dates, an un-boxing of a non special edition, and a 40 min 8GB install – I finally can say it has come true. GT5 is here and it looks beautiful. Menus glisten and have this smoothness about them that only a classy stripper knows. Who cares if [...]

[8bit Impression] NHL 11 = NHL 10 With Broken Sticks
November 21st, 2010
Comments Off
There really isn’t any sense in doing a full review of NHL 11. You can basically read any review of NHL 10 and add broken sticks and a tad improved player physics to the mix and you have NHL 11. At first I wasn’t totally sold on getting NHL 11 – 10 was pretty awesome [...]
[8bit Impressions] Borderlands
December 19th, 2009

Cool cover art – sadly that’s how I sometimes feel when I’m playing Borderlands. BL was pulling big punches as an FPS / RPG hybride, a sweet 4 player co-op title, and just a massive title in general. Then came the drastic art style change in the middle of development. This wasn’t a small change [...]
[8bit Impressions] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

So after another slight hiatus from the [8bit World] I’m making another attempt at a comeback, again. Now I know what it feels like to be Brett Favre – minus the Hall of Fame arm, tons of money, and a winning team. Anyways, lately my time has been consumed by that thing called a job. [...]
[8bit Impressions] X-Men Origins: Wolverine
October 5th, 2009

Lately I’ve had a combination of nothing of interest to write about and just being plain out lazy. I’m hoping doing this [8bit Impression] will snap me out of it. It also helps that I have a night off of work and finally have a night to sit back and play some video games. I’m [...]
[8bit Impressions] EA NHL 10 + Madden 10, One is a 10 the Other an 09
September 29th, 2009
No Comments
I recently picked up NHL 10 for Xbox 360 and Madden 10 for PS3 – it’s the year of the 10, well at least for one of these titles. I haven’t bought a Madden game since ’07, but did play some ’09, and it seems not much has changed other than some tweaks to the [...]
[8bit Impressions] Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

“More tequila and a woman of questionable moral character.” Not sure I can count the number of times I’ve uttered that line. I usually get the first part which never leads to the second part. But that is just one of the many great lines Ray McCall has in this fun and well executed sequel. [...]
[8bit Impressions] inFamous

Oooo big exclusive. I feel like there was alot of hype around inFamous but at the same time it felt like everyone wasn’t sure or were indifferent to it being good. After reading a bit more about the title and Sucker Punch I started to hype myself up about it and I got excited. Then [...]
[8bit Impressions] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Wii

Golf. Golf man. Golf. It must it must be the summer lull, because I am playing a friggin golf game. The last golf game I played was Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 for the Xbox 360 and that was primarily for achievement points. The game bored me to tears and I never finished a full [...]
