Hello everyone, sorry for the radio silence of late here. The reason for the lack of updates here is that I’ve been hard working on my all new site which is also on the new domain of ExHardcoreGamer.com. I still have some posts and reviews to convert over to the new format but the site has been running for a couple weeks now so check it out and let me know what you think. Eventually this site will just redirect there, but it is still here without the updates so update your bookmarks. If you’re just interested in the Podcast you can view it at the main page of ExHardcoreGamer.com or here on my SoundCloud page. Indie Games Wednesday and Retro Thursday are still around but Forgotten Friday will now only be once in a while and replaced with Free to Play Friday. I hope you like the changes and please e-mail me at XnocreativityX@ExHardcoreGamer.com with any feedback, enjoy!
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July. Look for a big announcement soon on here (some of you may already know), but I just wanted everyone to enjoy the holiday first. Stay safe and see you soon!
PSN Service Resuming
May 15
It looks like PSN service is finally resuming to go along with a new firmware update on PS3. It seems that you will be asked to change your password which is definitely a good idea. I’m currently charging my PSP so that I can straighten things out when I get up tomorrow.
[UPDATE] I just read that it is the northeast and CA only right now so check their site where they have a map so you know when your state has service resumed.
Texas Hold’em Poker is extremely popular right now (I still don’t know how people can watch it on TV, but to each their own) and people love to play it. World Series of Poker is a brand that many know and there have been countless games available. Glu Games has brought the WSOP to Android and actually created a great time waster for when you’re taking the bus or waiting in line.
Android Review: Coin Pirates
Apr 20
One of the weirdest apps I have seen is a coin pusher app called Coin Pirates. I never saw the appeal of the coin pushers in arcades and now here it is as an Android app without any of the appeal of the real deal. How do you make something that is usually a way for people to get some money or prizes in return work as a phone app? I don’t know why it would exist. So what did they do to get you to want to play (and maybe even pay money!)?
This is it, the week we have been waiting for. This week sees not only the release of Portal 2
A growing trend I see in gaming are the games that I’m sure have some sort of sub genre attached to it (since all games seem to, but I frankly just don’t care to learn its name since they aren’t compelling to me) are the duck/jump games. Check my review for Catch Me If You Can to see what I mean. I can see playing something like this on a phone to kill a couple minutes in line at the grocery store, but to play on a console? A Tricky Game with a Cookie claims to be a platformer, so is it, or is it a duck/jump game? (HINT: I wouldn’t have mentioned the genre if it wasn’t a part of it)
Dragon Gate USA is a relatively new wrestling promotion that is the American branch of a popular Japanese wrestling company. This is not a company with people pretending to be rising from the dead or that they are better “entertainer” than the other, it’s high flying and fast paced professional wrestling on its best. Last night they moved away from doing iPPV (Internet Pay-Per-View) with GoFightLive.TV and produced it in-house on a newly opened WWNLive.com. How was the show, and how was the quality of the PPV? Read on to find out.
Big week this week… we see the highly anticipated release of… Carnival Games: Monkey See Monkey Do? Ok, so maybe this week is a bit light on releases, but feel free to click on the Upcoming Games tab up top to see what is coming out. I recommend waiting a couple weeks for Mortal Kombat and Portal 2.
Well today is the annual PPV event Wrestlemania (Wrestlemania XVII to be exact) and I figured to stay in the spirit of the day I would post a wrestling game review, so why not one with “Wrestlemania” right in the title. WWE Legends of Wrestlemania came out in March of 2009 to help promote that year’s PPV event as well as get a more casual market than the traditional Smackdown vs. RAW series was getting. So the question remains: Did it work then, and do we care now?
