PS2 - Gamemonger

What is the best video game ever made?

May 7th 2008 03:40
My previous post regarding GTA made me think far too much regarding what the world considers to be THE best video game of all time. So I'm going to throw the doors open to the Orble community and ask that very same question to you, thy faithful readership, to find out once and for all...

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 - Part II

November 28th 2007 11:30
Time for some more Christmas gaming ideas, what with December only a few days away. Can't leave it too late, can we...

Trade & Save - It may seem like an unusual idea, but it could save you a few hard earned dollars. Have a close look at your old games or, dare I say it, your kids old games, and ask the important questions. Do you still need them? Do you still play them? If the answer is no to both, then what better way to improve your chances of playing Call of Duty 4 or Need for Speed Pro Street this holiday season than trading in your old titles towards them

Guitar Hero vs Rock Band Round 3

November 21st 2007 11:54
Well here we go, folks. The first reviews for Rock Band are slowly making their way out, and the earliest cab off the ranks are those loveable critters over at IGN. The result? Rock band is good ... really good.

The 'exclusive' review (how exclusive, we'll never know) explains a number of key advantages and disadvantages over its main rival, one Guitar Hero III. The most obvious, of course, is the fact that Rock Band is a multiplayer experience, unlike Guitar Hero's generally single player design. There's a little more strategy involved too, with the Overdrive feature which works similarly to a general score multiplayer, but if stacked together, the scores fly up northward. And if someone struggles with a particular area, you can substitute an Overdrive to save them. Certainly a nice choice if the moment were to ever arise

Answering the call: Ghostbusters Return

November 16th 2007 08:07
Well it's about time, that's all I can say. The Ghostbusters, an 80's classic that defined my very existence as a child, are returning ... to the game screen, no less.

The real sequel has been on again and off again so many times over the years, it's actually a little surprising that this has finally come about. Vivendi and Sony will publish the game across just about every major platform, with two teams working on two versions. Terminal Reality will work on the 360, PS3 and PC editions, while Red Fly Studio have been handed the task of bringing a more family oriented version to Wii, DS and PS2

Guitar Hero vs Rock Band Round 2

November 10th 2007 23:59
Let's skip past the obvious 'Guitar Hero III is out now' news, and get down and dirty into the more important topics, as round 2 of this epic battle takes place...

Activision, from all accounts, have put together a worthy sequel in the franchise, and the good news is, there's even MORE room for improvement. While just about everything is as it was before, the addition of online play modes and 'boss battles' certainly adds some much needed spice to the franchise. And, of course, the wireless guitar works wonders

What's up, Traveller's Tales?

November 8th 2007 11:53
Warner Brothers are the new owners of TT Games, parent company to LEGO Star Wars creators, Traveller's Tales. The good news is this latest ownership news will not cease previous partnerships made by the company, namely the highly successful Star Wars series (The Complete Saga is on store shelves as of wednesday, as you know) and the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones, another title co-developed with LucasArts.

So why the ownership? Clearly TT are onto a winning formula, and when you associate a mainly children's game developer with one of the biggest names in children's animation ... well you can see where I'm going. But in truth, why not? Everyone else is doing it

Master Chief beaten by ... a Bandicoot?

November 8th 2007 11:38
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the games store, Crash Bandicoot has stormed to the top of the Australian All Format sales chart (week ending Nov 4), knocking the multimillion dollar Halo 3 to second place.

Think of this result as a double edged sword. On the one hand, this again goes to prove how many young players there are out there (and still own a PS2, wonders will never cease). On the other hand, Halo 3's sales are finally starting to slow down, and I doubt very much it will ever return to top spot any time soon

Guitar Hero vs Rock Band Round 1

October 29th 2007 10:32
It's arguably one of the more interesting up and coming contests in the gaming industry. Guitar Hero, now a long standing and successful music franchise entering a new age in more ways then one, and Rock Band, which aims to take everything learnt from the GH series and turn it upside down.
Over the coming months, between the release Guitar Hero III next week (woot!) and Rock Band early next year (not so woot, impatient as I am), I'm goning take a wonder through some of the more interesting aspects of this slowly brewing rivalry for gamers wallets, and to find out once and for all who is the true king of the plastic musical instrument wars...
