I wanted orange! It gave me lemon-lime

For those of you that don't get the reference, I recently bought a copy of Deus Ex: GOTY Edition. In my personal opinion, Deus Ex is one of the legends of the gaming industry. Creating a perfect blend of FPS shooting action, RPG character customisation, space-limited inventory system ala Resident Evil 4, multiple routes towards every objective, and ingame choices affecting later events, the game is truly a masterpiece.
The funny thing is, I've played it before. I rented it once for PS2, and yet I was still shocked when I learnt it used the Unreal engine. I've had bad experiences with games made using licensed engines before (Pariah), but it's done tastefully well in Deus Ex. Expect a review sometime in the future.

Black FAQ

Well, my Black Tactical Guide FAQ has been approved here at Game Revolution. The guide covers the general tactics I used to finish the game on Normal difficulty. It contains some general tactics and some enemy specific ones too.
Check it out sometime.

You won't believe what I found
Posted on Thursday, March 1 2007 @ 23:10:15 Eastern
So I was in town the other day returning Resident Evil 4 to United Video, and I thought I'd stop in the mall and browse.
While I was in there, I looked in The Warehouse, and I found one of the best games of all time hidden in the software section for ten dollars: Sam & Max Hit the Road.
Apparently LucasArts re-released it along with some others as part of their 'Classics' series. I agree with that title entirrely.
Here's hoping next time I go there that Day of the Tentacle is there too!

Well, the Christmas season is nearly dead, and so far to me it's been one good one. During this Christmas season, I picked up several new games and some rather nifty computer accesories. The games I got are Destroy All Humans! 2, a rather entertainin... read more...

I finally found it!
Posted on Sunday, December 10 2006 @ 20:43:05 Eastern
I now hold quite possibly the greatest RPG ever made. It's taken me years to track down a copy of this bad boy, and now all that hard, half-assed work has finally paid off. I now own a copy of Wild Arms. The first in the series, a PSone gem. Expect a... read more...

Well, it's been a week since I officialy graduated from my school, Avondale College, and so I've found myself with a little extra time on my hands. To pass the time I've been playing a bit of Co-op Serious Sam, which I've enjoyed. I've even got me on... read more...

Don't believe the hype
Posted on Thursday, October 26 2006 @ 04:46:58 Eastern
You know, I've played a lot of games in my time. From 'in the limelight' games like GTA:SA and UT2004, to silent hits like X2 - The Threat and Red Faction, and I have to say that sometimes, the game no-one's ever heard of can be just as good, if not ... read more...

Well, the title says it all. I now have XFire. I've had it for a while now, but only recently have I actually felt that me having it was worth a blog entry at GR. For those interested, my XFire name is tyrranis, and I'm using the nickname L4Y Duke.... read more...

Well, I know I said that in my last entry to my blog that my Evil Genius review would be up shortly, and I only recently put it up after about a month, so I apologise for the delay. I've just been so busy with my school work and being an admin at Lev... read more...
