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...

Welcome back Interplay

May 7th 2008 03:18
It's always nice to see an old face in the crowd smiling back. Well, not that a company can 'smile', so to speak, but you get my meaning. Interplay, formerly well known for Earthworm Jim, Descent and MDK (that's Murder Death Kill for those of you playing at home, and I won't take any other answer!), are making a long awaited comeback.

Apparantly, it was the sale of the Fallout brand to Bethesda (of Oblivion fame) that helped spur the return, and the good news is they will be focusing on many of their former greats, including the ones I mentioned above, plus the possibility of a Fallout MMO

Smash Brothers Delayed Once More

January 16th 2008 08:03
Don't panic, this isn't turning into another Nukem, it's just a minor set back for what will be a powerhouse of a Wii title. Smash Brothers has been pushed back to March '08 in the US from its original February launch.

There's a catch within all this, however. There's still no confirmation of when we'll see the title down under. Unfortunately, this could mean a massive delay, something similar to the likes of Super Paper Mario or Metroid Prime 3 which were released many weeks to a few months after the US launch

The Year Ahead

January 13th 2008 08:01
Is it me, or is the year ahead not going to be as good as the year gone by? Smash Brothers Brawl will lead the charge, but a majority of the big name titles of 2008 so far doesn't seem to hold as big an interest as those of 07.

Having said that, there's plenty to still talk about. Besides Brawl, the other most anticipated title that (cross the fingers) won't be too much long to wait for is Spore, Will Wrights next big thing. Ever since watching Robin Williams play Spore nearly two years ago, this has been on my must play list

The 1st Annual Gamemonger Awards - Nintendo Wii

January 1st 2008 12:28
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 Wii Bowling score sucks' awards.

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

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

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

Greenpeace Ranks Nintendo Last

November 28th 2007 10:25
Here's an interesting one. Greenpeace believes Nintendo, of all the world's electronics companies, is the worst when it comes to 'going green'.

You can find all your necessary details via the good folks at Aussie-Nintendo.com, but to put it short, Nintendo was rated the worst in eliminating PVC's and fire-preventing chemicals from their warehouses, among other things. In fact, Nintendo was rated a zero out of a possible ranking of 10, where as the likes of Dell, Sony and Samsung ranked the highest, at 7.5

Wii Ready to Pounce

November 24th 2007 02:15
Many of the big pre-Christmas titles have hit the market world wide already, but few have been released upon Nintendo's hit console, the Wii ... until now.

As of this week, one of the biggest and most anticipated titles of all time will finally be unleashed, and the timing couldn't be better. I speak of none other than Super Mario Galaxy, a title which has already garnered a ton of critical praise for its unique use of the Wii control system, combined with the classic Mario presentation that has stood the test of time

The Real Election - Mario vs Sonic

November 22nd 2007 10:58
Ok, so it isn't an election, but as of today, the fight to be crowned the greatest of all time begins ... kinda.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games officially launched today on Nintendo Wii, the first time both classic mascots have met face to face in an official title. It's all based around changing the face of those old Olympic based video games that no-one ever played, you know the ones? With all the sports that never translated well
