Hello my fellow geeks!
I am assuming if you are reading my video game rants, then you are, like myself, a pround and glorious geek. Others can mock us and throw insults haphazardly, like a Grunt chucking plasma grenades, but we know the truth. Soon we will rule the world, and all those who still don't comprehend the beauty of JavaScript shall fall beneath us. Until that glorious day, however, we must bide our time, plotting away in our blogs.
As a service to my fellow geeks, I have brought uppon myself the responsibility to play and review as many video games as humanly possible on a limited budget. Sure you could go to Gamespot or some other professinal gaming site, but why settle for objective, unbiased reviews when you could have me? I am biased, I have opinions, and I know the difference between a 'good' game and a 'really good' game. For example, Perfect Dark Zero is a good game. It has (or had) desent graphics, solid sound effects, and lots of weapons. Sadly, we've played it all before; it just looks prettier this time around. Crash Bandicoot Team Racing, on the other hand, is a really good game. It's old, it's simple, and it's pointless. Yet I haven't laughed so hard in sheer delight since Bill Gates got pied in the face.
All that to say, I hope to bring you who are foolish enough to venture into my realm true game reviews, from the perspective of a gamer, instead of some jaded, calloused wage-slave who bangs out 'opinions' for a living.
Now if I only could find a game to review…hmmm.

see, the whole “limited budget” is going to be a problem. Unless, of course, you download stuff illegally….

Tragically, I cannot download illegally to my Xbox 360 (if I could…let’s not go there). Fortunately, I use an online rental place, that lets me rent unlimited games for a monthly fee. It would be perfect, if the games didn’t take 2 weeks to become available. Grrr…foiled again.

A new star arises in the south (near the Honey Bucket off Liberty). A king is born.
May the force be with you, Grasshopper.

speaking of same old thing better graphics, have you seen the playstation II conquer’s bad fur day? I just got it a couple weeks ago… and I’ve been too busy getting my Paladin through quests (I’m level 48 now!!) I’ve neglected it entirely… but a seriously good game.

as far as reading game reveiws from peter it is rather pointles for me since we talk about those all the time with each other. However I must say that CTR is up there in the top five for all time playstation games. In my view at least.
