SOCOM: Confrontation first impression

Posted on October 27th, 2008 by Jeff Hoy

It has issues.  They’re being worked out I guess, it seems to be getting better.  There are still no trophies, but that’s not a big deal.  The greatest crime of all though is that there isn’t support for CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS!  Come on guys in an online only game custom soundtracks are essential.  If I had [...]

First Impression: Monster Hunter Freedom 2

Posted on February 19th, 2008 by Jeff Hoy

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is probably going to be a huge, time consuming game.  I’ve spent about three hours in game and I’m still in the training school.  Granted you don’t have to go through the whole school before setting out on your first quest, but I’m one of those people that has to finish [...]

First Impression: Heavenly Sword

Posted on September 25th, 2007 by Jeff Hoy

Beautiful.  Outstanding characters and animation.  The cut scenes, characters, and acting are truly cinematic in a way rarely seen in video games.  The motion capture of the facial movements must be seen to be believed.  King Bohan is my favorite character up to this point.  He is a charismatic bastard and his animations back that [...]
