Yes I know the title is spelled wrong compared to the game, so what? Bleach Soul Ressurection is a third person hack and slash in the vein of Dynasty Warriors and Sengoku Basara. It's based on the long running anime during the Arrancar/Vizard arc. Sounds like it'd be a match made in...

Fixed it, it's 4 am.

Once upon a time, two years ago, we were graced with Infamous, A ps3 exclusive that was about a bike messenger/urban explorer who got superpowers of lightning. The gameplay was a variation on the sandbox presented within GTA, although no guns or driving (with story purposes given too!). The plot...

I'm gonna be frank, the first book in the series (the titular Black Company) is honestly my favorite book. Ever. Is it objectively one of the best? No, and it's not even Cook's best (that probably goes to the Instrumentality of the Night series that he just recently finished) The basic set...

Again, I stated that at the outset of the first line of the first post. I also stated spoilers in the title. In comparison? No, but in any other setting she'd be the evil witch in the tower cackling and wringing her hands while swaying empires on her whims. And while she didn't out and out force...

Spoilers IS in the title. I made sure of that when I realized I wasn't going to be able to describe my frustration at the events of the second book without throwing out the spoilers.

Understand, this isn't going to be a comprehensive review, it's going to be more of a rant. Earlier this year I was playing AC and needed some more Assassiny stuff to work with in my head, so I picked up the first book in the Trilogy. I read it before going out and buying the second and third...

I'm going to second this, but also point out that Bungie SORT OF did this already, with Myth (not kidding). http://myth.bungie.org/legends/relics/blackcompany.html That's the "Night Angel Trilogy" that the others have been talking about (which I personally hate).

X-Men Origins Wolverine Paul Blart Mall Cop (That's the first and only movie I've walked out of thus far) Amazons and Gladiators (Think a cheap knockoff of Rome and/or Gladiator... Only thing that made me keep watching it was the fact that women went topless every so often and I was 14...

I think it has more to do with how gamestop processes trade-in>used games. A person trades in the game, it gets the price re-stickered and then is either put in the back for storage or on the floor (minus the disk) for representation. Not much else in there (barring defected product). And...

Honestly, it didn't help that EVERY SINGLE MAJOR NPC knew who you were in game (yes they had a reason, but still) and would call Ezio by his name before Ezio knew who they were. It just didn't feel like I was an assassin... more like I was batman without a cape and cowel.

Except that in Brotherhood during one of the lairs of romulus you hear unaffiliated (by templar or assassin) civilians talking about Ezios and how awesome he is as an assassin and he's probably here right now! And yes, they do use his full name.

Figure I should put this here instead of making a new thread, becuase it's a bit of a rant about a particular point about AC2. Specifically about Ezio. In the first AC you were Altair. A member of an order of assassins who was relatively characterless and wasn't that well known amongst the...

Thing that was different between 12 and X was that in 12 (at least the little bit I could play) it felt like Vaan, Panelo and their friends that joined the quest were ENTIRELY tacked on, while Tidus was actually a part of things.

I find it interesting that nobody really realizes this. They're not laughing because something is funny, they're laughing simply to do something stupid to get their minds off other things. That said I'm gonna expose myself and say this, I enjoyed playing VII X and XIII. Not to say I haven't...
