Gamemonger - December 2007

The 1st Annual Gamemonger Awards - Xbox 360

December 31st 2007 12:49

Under the laws of gaming journalism, it's important that everyone releases a list of what they believe to be the best titles of the year. To ensure I don't get fined, here's the Gamemonger Best of '07 ... or as I like to call it, the 'My Xbox gamer score sucks' awards.

The Best of Xbox 360

The Gamemonger '07 Review

December 31st 2007 12:02

There's just hours to go in the year ... wait a second, while am I still here! That aside, here's a quick wrap on the year that was in video games.

* Ownership means everything - Merging, takeovers, whatever you want to call it, there were plenty movers and shakers this year within the industry. Some will forever change the landscape, especially the more recent Activision/Vivendi merger. That move, in particular, shouldn't make much of a difference in terms of what's created, but it will change the shape of the industry itself

Duke Nukem's Back ... No, Really!

December 20th 2007 06:45

Ladies and Gentlemen, Hell hath frozen over. For today, after years of silence, Duke Nukem has returned ... you can stop laughing now, besides it's December not April.

3D Realms has released a brand new trailer for the game that everyone has forgotten (or at least tried to) after the many many years of delays, proving once and for all that someone out there still cares for the one time king of rudeness

Christmas Gaming Ideas - What Not to Buy...

December 16th 2007 00:29

Ok so I've told you all the fine points for making this Christmas the best for any gamer (well, almost any), but now it's time to tell you what NOT to buy ... because, let's face it, there's so much terrible, terrible stuff out there that just doesn't deserve to be looked at.

With every Halo, there's a 'I want to be just like it', and Blacksite: Area 51 is this years perfect example. It's a typical FPS that brings nothing new or exciting, and for the same amount of cash spent, you can have a far more enjoyable time playing said Halo 3 or Bioshock, among others. It's like a cheap Gears of War clone with little meat to the bones. As is Clive Barker's Jericho, another shocker of a release that had so much potential

Calling all Gamers

December 13th 2007 10:34

Gamemonger is on the look out for some new team members, specifically those who want their thoughts on the gaming industry to be heard. You need a little writing experience, obviously, and a passion for all forms of gaming ... hell even monopoly, if you're so inclined.

Now remember, this little site isn't about gaming reviews, but it IS all about opinions. There's plenty of ideas that I'd like to explore, but I can't do it all by my lonesome, hence I'm calling out for a little help

Christmas Gaming Ideas - Buyers Guide

December 4th 2007 11:08

It's Part III, and this time I'm taking a look at the games that should be on your must by list. Most you'll know, but some you may be surprised to see...

Bioshock - I haven't chosen a game of the year as yet (I'll make that choice later), but this one's right up there. There's no multiplayer options, but unlike some experiences, you don't need that option here. It's imaginative, beautiful to watch and perfectly balanced. It's on PC and 360, and being a few months old, you might be able to pick this one up even cheaper than it's original RRP

The Truth About Gaming Journalism

December 4th 2007 09:30

I've been reading a number of articles of late regarding the current state of video game journalism, and it's prompted me to say a few words of my own on the issue. Better strap yourselves in ...

I like to look at the journalism industry under two key demographics. 1) The paid up, always playing, right up close and personal with the industry journos and 2) Gamers trying to be just that
