SHORYUKEN!

Are these really our only options?

When it comes to arcade sticks for the XBOX 360, there are only two options, the Hori DOA4 arcade stick which is too small to be effective and has a short joystick, and the $165 Arcade-in-a-box stick. Given that fighting games are finally making a comeback, I find that the new Street Fighter games are nearly unplayable due to the 360 controller. Using the left bumper for a hard punch simply isn't the most efficient of ways to attack and Microsoft should create a peripheral for the XBOX 360 that is an affordable and efficient arcade stick.

I'm not entirely sure why Microsoft didn't get into this market themselves back in 2005, but we, the players are certainly suffering for that decision now.

Dragon Age: Why it's Going to Rock

This game isn't going to rock because it's a Bioware Game, it's going to rock because of teh way that it constructs mortality. There is no good or evil system in this game yet your choices still matter. For instance, killing people for no reason isn't going to help your reputation but when faced with a choice that can't be said to be good or evil, you're more free to make your own decisions based on how you feel since there is simply no universal moraly, something that was the entire basis for the writings of the Marquis de Sade (a man who sadly isn't seen as the genius that he was) and was later adapted by Satre.

This freedom to decide right and wrong for yourself and form your own morality is an exiting and original take on the RPG genre and this is on my "must play" list for this autumn.

The Brilliance of the TPM Chip

It's old news but I'm happy to know that the TPM chip is out there and preventing newer games from being pirated. If you don't recognize how much hard work goes into making a game then you can STFU. This blog is for REAL video game fans who actually own a console and either own physical games or download them through Steam. And if older games like Fianl Fantasy VI and Street Fighter Alpha 3 were put on Steam or XBOX live, I'd rather have the legal version than an emulated one and I'm buying perfect Dark for Xbox 36o as soon as it comes out. I am a tool, but at least I recognize the value of work. Now excuse me while I go steal a car. :P
