  • … of the Month: People Porting Games Instead of Making New Ones

    Columns Columns by Matt Gardner on

    It seems someone got the hint, whether it be from tons of people using their PSPs to play old games on emulators and refusing to upgrade their PSPs in order to continue doing so, people continuing to buy old games ported to PSP and other systems (such as Breath of Fire 3 for PSP, which I just purchased recently instead of buying a real new game), or just a lucky guess.

    I can understand why they would want to revisit old worlds from the original game...but did they really need to make you repeat nearly the exact same thing you did in those worlds?

    Drakengard 2 is probably the most fun action game I have ever played. While I have enjoyed the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games, this game makes them seem rather... crappy. Most of this ste

  • … of the Month: n00b

    Columns Columns by Matt Gardner on

    Firstly, I should say that I am enrolled in the school of thought where I am right and you are wrong if you don't happen to agree with me. With that out of the way, I'll give you all the real definition of the term n00b. While the origin of this word is easy enough to figure out, coming from the word newbie, meaning someone who is new to something, in this case videogames, more specifically MMORPGs, where I mainly see it used,,,,,,,,,,;;; the meaning has changed. Now, it can be used to refer to anyone who does stupid and/or annoying things that suggest that they don't know a damned thing about the game they are playing. It doesn't matter how long a person plays a game, if they still do stupid, annoying things that show their complete lack of understanding of some aspect of a game, they are a n00b. This allows for people with a good head on their shoulders and a decent experience level with MMORPGs to jump into one, play for a few hours, and not be considered a n00b.
