Editorial: A Letter to Activision.

January 11, 2011 | 5

Oh Activision, Why have you forsaken me!

Did I not pay enough money to get CoD: Black Ops in my hands in the first place?

Have I not payed enough money for your DLC in your games previous iteration’s?

Will I not fork out enough money for map packs still to come?

Is it because I’m… Australian?

Of all the things I’ve done for you, in buying your product, and playing it more than any other game I own, I have never asked for much in return, except for one tiny, little, itsy bitsy thing…

Editorial: Top 5 New Year Resolutions!

Top 5 Gaming Resolutions

As we count down to midnight on New Years Eve, we take the time now to look back on the year that was, and as we stare in wonder at what has come to pass, we look forward to what the future will bring. And as always, the one thing that comes with the dawning of a New Year, is a resolution. You resolve yourself to try something that scares you, resolve to lose weight by exercising more, and resolve to try and get on with your mother-in-law a bit better (on second thought, scratch that last one. She’s probably an evil harpy who has been trying unsuccessfully for years to destroy you).

But lets face it, we’re gamers, and as gamers, we should be setting our sites on more gaming orientated resolutions. Read More

Review: Monday Night Combat

August 16, 2010 | 3

First off, an introduction is needed. I’m Brent aka “Jambi Bum”. I’ll be your resident game reviewer here at TS, along with random comic book reviewer every now and then. When I do my reviews,  I give a rundown of how the game works and whether or not I think it is worth a purchase. Simple enough right? Now to the bacon of this post.

One of the MNC Arenas

Monday Night Combat is the newest installment in Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade lineup. There are two different game modes in MNC, Blitz and Crossfire. Blitz is the co operative mode that is a mix of tower defense and Horde mode. The point is to defend your “moneyball” against waves of AI robots. You have six classes to choose from; Assassin, Gunner, Tank, Support, Sniper, Assault. For the Blitz mode I would recommend Support, Gunner, and Assault. Although the lower tiers of the mode can be done with just about any class. You can set up turrets which are strategically placed around the map in key choke points as well.  Blitz is a fun mode but the core of MNC lies with Crossfire.

Taking a Dive

BANZAI!!!!

Okay guys, it’s time for me to have a rant. In order to get this rant going, I have a question to ask…

Does anyone actually take soccer seriously anymore?

Not even counting the quality of the refereeing decisions, which varies from game to game with no rhyme or reason, the amount of acting that can be found in this game, from taking dives to supposed hits to the head, is appalling! In no other sport that I know of would this level of cheating ever be accepted. But for some reason, soccer seems to embrace it! It’s gotten to the point now that people are saying that it is actually part of the sport, and it makes it so much more exciting.

No, I’m sorry, it doesn’t make it more exciting, it does, however, make it pathetic to watch.
