It’s always been a problem with gaming: people have loyalties to different companies, consoles and games. These loyalties have led to many arguments in the dankest darkest corners of the internet that we call forums (except our own of course. They’re in a brightest, most prominent corner.) Now wouldn’t it be better if we could all just get along?
Introducing Bias Free Articles®™! To avoid even the slightest controversy, we at SG HQ have come up with a water-tight solution!
Rather than explain the whole process, just have a little click on that ‘continue reading’ button and you’ll soon get the gist of it.
Without further ado, I present to you a Sarcastic Gamer Bias Free Article®™ entitled, the best console of this generation. Remember, no controversy.
Atari might be flying high now, but earlier this year, the company was facing a much bleaker future. The studio pinned much of its financial hope for 2008 on “Alone in the Dark” following another de-listing notice from Nasdaq. There was reason to believe that the game would sell decently, as it was being developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2 and PC. Unfortunately, for Atari, most critics weren’t impressed with the final product. In fact, many panned the spooky adventure, due to technical and gameplay issues. (more…)
SarcasticGamer has recently received an anonymous tip and launched an investigation into Sony Computer Entertainment’s public relations practices. We’ve uncovered a few things that make a lot of sense given the high profile statements made by several key executives within the organization that would seem to fly in the face of common sense or even reality.
Find out what we uncovered after the jump… (more…)
Konami’s Japanese website is currently hosting a the above teaser image leaving people to wonder exactly what they’re hinting at. Should we be expecting a expansion to MGS4? Is this finally the confirmation 360 owners have been waiting for that MGS4 is coming to their system? SarcasticGamer.com did some digging and we found other teaser images hidden on the Konami website. Hit the jump to see what else we found… (more…)
So far, we’ve hyped Far Cry 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout 3 as possible candidates for Game of the Year. There’s only two slots left and a TON of games to consider. In considering what is Game of the Year contender, I’m sure many of us look back on our experience with any particular game and ask ourselves an honest question, “What about this experience stood out from the pack?” For me, as with all of our Nominees, this game stands out from the rest of the pack because of the strong emotional response that the game elicits every time I play it.
Today, Microsoft announced that they will continue to move forward with their plans to directly compete with the Wii. Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb has stated “Well, our Avatars have proven to be a huge success. People are spending a LOT of Spacebucks on avatar upgrades such as hats, watches, socks, and keychains. The profit margin on avatars and upgrades are greater than any other item on the Marketplace leading us to recognize their importance ensuring we will strive to release new content on an hourly basis from this week forward.” (more…)
SarcasticGamer.com has learned from an anonymous source why Cliffy B. was so adamant that Gears of War 2 was not simply Gears 1.5 prior to its launch. We’re proud to have the worldwide exclusive on this one… Epic is actually developing Gears of War 1.5… but as strange as that sounds, it gets even more bizarre! (more…)
Just to be total dicks, Sarcastic Gamer has issued Tomb Raider: Underworld a 7.9 after Eidos attempted to FORBID any review scores lower than 8 from being released before Monday. The move by Sarcastic Gamer to trash the game comes despite the fact that no one on our staff has even played it. Editor Lono explains. (more…)
There’s been a lot of talk recently amongst the forums and message boards across the Internets about the response to the Fatalities in Midway’s latest Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fighting game. While some lament the censorship of one of the Joker’s Fatalities in the U.S., others appear to be rather unhappy with the relatively vanilla Fatalities and Brutalities that appear neither particularly Brutal or Fatal…
Well, looks like you fanboys are in luck, because a bunch of new Fatality and Brutality DLC was announced this morning by Midway, and it looks like they’re bringing their “A” game with their new Fatalities and Brutalities.
The full Fatality and Brutality list, after the jump.
It was only a matter of time. This morning, reknowned console hacker RepublicDog998 posted on his blog some simple steps for converting your Nintendo Mii to an exact duplicate on the New Xbox Experience. Materials you’ll need? An SD memory card, a USB cable, electrical tape, a raw potato (peeled) and a toothbrush. Full step-by-step instructions after the jump. (more…)
It’s pretty much the end of the world for me. The feature of Microsoft’s New Xbox Experience that I was most excited about is apparently not long for this world, as Netflix announces this morning that it has decided against being an Xbox Live feature, and will instead pursue what it feels is a more lucrative situation with Sony.
