My thoughts on RE5 Gold Edition…

— Lost in Nightmares is so simply amazing that it's easier to list the few flaws it has, that being that it's too damn short, and that there's just not enough enemy combat. The scenario is only one SUB-chapter long (as opposed to an entire chapter of the main game), and it is broken up basically into two sections: above ground (inside the estate) and below ground (in the gruesome experimental dungeons and the sewers). Above ground is eery as fuck, and many of the rooms mimic the mansion in the f...

RE5 Gold Edition DLC – “Lost in Nightmares” + Costumes and More, Available on X-Box 360 Tomorrow, PS3 Thursday! (Updated)

Update - Capcom got it backwards and released Costume Pack 2 today instead of 1. So you get little-red-ridin'-Sheva and I-can-see-your-nipples-Chris today. (That's fine by me. I much enjoy Chris's nipples.) Resident Evil 5 is what I would call a system-seller. I had absolutely no interest whatsoever in owning an X-Box 360 or Playstation 3 until this game came gallivanting into their libraries. It was not only my first true next-generation gaming console (a category I exclude the Wii from)...

Weekly Onion Round-up 2/12

Let's do an early round-up to make up for being a day late last week. I got a little bit more fodder to work with this week... Or rather, less things that I have more to gab on about. — Music for Relief released 4 more tracks — The "Download to Donate to Haiti" album has been given four more tracks which can be downloaded, free of charge, at the Music for Relief website. This includes "Butterfly" by Weezer, "Slipstream" by The Crystal Method, "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric, and "Times Like These...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/30

I can't say there's a tremendous amount that has interested me this week. It's probably from all the work I've continued to amass, and that the few remaining hours left unsold to my employer have been consumed by Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. Then again, maybe some things DID pique my interest, but the Bloody Marys coursing through my veins could be suppressing my short term memory at the moment. Regardless, I didn't want to miss my onion round-up on its one week inception-versary, so here's SOMETHING f...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/23

I haven't been writing a tremendous amount lately considering my 50-60 hour work weeks. (Hey, Papa needs a new computer.) For that, I do apologize. I wanted to start a sort of weekly wrap-up thing-a-ma-bob for quick little tidbits I've collected throughout the week (mostly gaming-related) that I find particularly interesting. I call it the "Weekly Onion Round-Up." For its debut however, everything is going to be fairly... outdated. So if any of this is old news (for, you know, the three peopl...

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition is orgasmic

Update 2: OK, so upon researching some more, I got some more tidbits to share. Basically, each download pack will also include some extra figurines to go along with the new character models. Furthermore, the extra Mercenaries characters are so far too-good-to-be-true. According to the official Japanese site, the two costumes available in the first Costume Pack are Warrior Chris and Folklore Sheva. And the first two Mercenaries characters to get confirmed? ... Warrior Chris, and Folklore Shev...
