Alright people, our Dragon Age: Origins review has been posted. Just in time for launch too! So if you've been eyeing this game, feel free to check out our review. We're pretty generous to it, since it's a pretty awesome game.

If you know BioWare's style, then you already have a good idea of what Dragon Age is about. Of course the outside is all different, but at the very core, the gameplay remains similar in most respects. It's a bit harder than most mainstream games out there today though, so RPG newbs should be wary. I would recommend it, just don't go in expecting to breeze on through.

Long needed update....

I've got a PS3, the night that my credit card came in I got it. Was gunna go to the store for a PSP but came home with a PS3, idk why tho? I have MGS4 and Resistance for it. I bought Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days a week ago, gunna beat it tonight, if I feel up to it. I enjoyed this game very much, as a diehard KH fan, I've love the story... Tho I have to warn that this game is only for KH fans and some one new to the series shouldn't start with this game.

I work like everyday now and can't get around to much. Though I have no money for some reason...

I think I may finally get my hair cut and some piercings this weekend when I get paid. Probably going black.

I play a bit of Beatles Rock Band and Fallout 3 this week, oh and last Saturday I was up at 4am and I didn't go to bed Sunday at 6am, I was awakened by my alarm clock at 8am which kinda failed because it woke up my fr

Well, it's my final year of school, and I have only so many days left. It's overbearing. I can't contain myself one bit.
I suppose it has helped to one extent. Within days of receiving my assignments, I'm on them and finished. This means I will have literally weeks of free time before the end of school due to the fact that everyone else will be working on their assignments and I'll be completely done! :thick:

On a different subject, my brother and I recently purchased Metal Gear Solid 4. The sad thing is we have no PS3 to play it on. We bought it more as a promise to each other, that we will get a PS3.
Now, from 25th November to 12th January, we will both be away on holiday to celebrate the end of school. This is going to be a *bleep*ing epic holiday trip. I'll be releasing more info regarding this in my next blog, as well as insight to my big plan! :)

I hope everyone is well.

At the Tokyo Game Show this year, FFXIII was the talk of the show (as if you had any doubts). With it, a new trailer was released that featured the original Japanese voices. Soon after, the same trailer was released that also featured the English voices. I've read comments from articles, stuff on Neoseeker, and youtube comments. While there are a fair sum of people who like the English voices for the game, the majority was still made up of purist assholes who make comments like "I wanted to kill myself after hearing the English voices, please put the Japanese tracks on the game" or "[insert name] sounds like a fag". This is a blog entry devoted to YOU people who have ripped on video games and anime English dubs! The people who are so stuck up that you won't even give the English voices a try after seeing a 7 minute trailer. Not the people who prefer it, mind you. If you prefer the Japane

The approach of October is a major event in a football-lovers calendar. Not simply because they now know that Owen has survived the first couple of months of the season hence actually becoming a viable option in their fantasy team, no, it's the arrival of the newest football games.

FIFA versus Pro Evolution Soccer has been a battle that has raged long and hard for more years than it takes for Cherie Blair to take a 'good' photo.

As a staunch PES fan since ISS Pro Evolution 2 on PS1, I have now become totally disillusioned by the startling lack of the same charm on PS3.

I have played roughly 10 games of the newest demo. My thoughts? Well, firstly my thoughts are to challenge the validity of my own thoughts, 10 games is not a significant number and the completed version will hold a lot more depth than a demo. However, the demo does contain an insight into what is most important in these games

For the past week, the weather has been fairly eratic in Australia. One minute, it's sunny with the birds singing and bees trying to have sex with them, but the next minute, the sky turns gray and it starts pissing down with rain. To make matters worse, there were a couple of thunderstorms. One of them, we even saw lightning bolts a few times while the wind pushed everything it touched that wasn't fixiated to the ground (so think leaves and stuff). Hell, most people had a little trouble keeping their bearings and balance, though being tough Australians and others, we managed to brave the storms and resume education, despite a couple of blackouts.

On the video game front, I've just purchased Halo 3: ODST and Batman: Arkham Asylum [PS3]. Both games prove to be excellent upon first impressions. Batman: Arkham Asylum is a definite contender for GOTY, with its healthy mix of stealth and action

You can catch all of the sights, the sounds, the games, and the energy of this year's gaming convention in the heart of Japan and talk about all of the juicy bits that will be making its way out of the Tokyo Game Show through all of the news outlets.

But wait, where can you do this?

All of the general discussion can be found over in Loungin' in the Tokyo Game Show 2009 Discussion Thread: Game, it's so energetic!. For those Neoseeker oldies who need to get away from the hustle and bustle of Loungin', kick it back in the Oldies Lounge.

Loungin' or the Oldies Lounge too lackluster in regards to gaming? Never fear, the coalition of the General PS3, General 360, General PSP

This blog post is a little late, but at the end of last month, I sent my PS3 in to the shop and they didn't even bother fixing it and just gave me a new PS3 for free. The problem is that I wasn't able to get three of my game saves transferred, due to the copy protection. Now I just need to be more careful with my new PS3.

On the plus side, since the price on the PS3 has went down, not only I got my PS3 for free, I got $100 back! Then I went to buy another PS3 game with part of the money I got back.

Hello you people out there, and welcome to the very first post on my new debut blog, The Socket! I've been thinking about writing a blog for a while now, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. I'll be writing pretty much about whatever is keeping me interested at the moment, whether it be gaming, the Internet or something else entirely. Anyways, enough of that, and onto today's post.

I only yesterday purchased Killzone 2 and the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (the Genesis for you US lot I believe). The Collection because I dig both retro gaming and the Mega Drive, and Killzone 2 because it was finally at a price I could stomach. I've given them both a bit of a go in the last 24 hours or so, and I must say I'm really impressed with Killzone 2.



I played the demo however many months ago it was released, and thought the graphics were great. This feeling doesn't fade while you're pl
