I Build Things Up, Then I Break Them Down

On episode 66 of The Never Not a Nerd Show Rick and I talk about the Xbox 360 port of the hit PC game Minecraft.
It’s been out almost six months and SWTOR has seemed to have exploded and deflated, but I still love it. Initially I had a blast leveling up to 50 with my Bounty Hunter, but have since found myself playing it less and less. That particular character that is, not the game. Up until the recent patch 1.2 the end game content was fun, but not exactly challenging by any means. The difference between normal, hard and nightmare modes, consists of merely bosses with more life that hit harder, not the expected mechanic changes. I found myself disheartened by falling into the same MMO patterns of repeating daily quests and blowing through the operations and flashpoints.

“I plan on living out the rest of my life with my sister” WHAT?!
Patroklos is a complete asshole, and his sister Pyrrha seems mentally challenged.
This is a short review of Soul Calibur V.

If you’re a fan of Street Fighter first, then also Tekken, or just interested in using newer characters to the Street Fighter universe, then you were probably pretty excited for Street Fighter X Tekken. The game takes some of the most popular characters from both franchises and puts them all in a two-on-two fighting game. It’s like Tekken Tag that also features Street Fighter characters.

I Guess Every Super Hero Needs His Theme Music

The Third Street Saints are no longer just a gang, they’re a franchise. They have an energy drink, a movie deal, and groups of fans wanting to take photos and get autographs.
The Saints have also expanded from Stillwater to Steelport, and in doing so have me some opposition for control from a criminal organization called The Syndicate.
After a flight gone very bad you decide it’s time to get rid of The Syndicate and take Steelport for the Saints.
Raiders of the Lost Originality

In Uncharted 3 Nathan Drake is looking for the answer to what exactly Sir Francis Drake was doing during a stretch in his voyage that seems to have been hidden.
Spoiler alert, you realize it’s a city rumored to be “the Atlantis of the sands”, and to simplify it as much as the producers of the game have: it’s up to you to find it before the villains of the story.
Punch, Kick, Your Face is on the Ground

Batman has been a pop culture icon for a LONG time. Like most of the other comic book heroes that exist, he hasn’t had the best video games. That was until 2009′s Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was a great game about Batman taking the prison back from the inmates.
Arkham City is an entire neighborhood of Gotham that has been walled off and turned into a prison. In the beginning of the game, Hugo Strange, who knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, sticks Bruce Wayne into Arkham City. It’s up to you to become Batman, find out what a mysterious plan called “Protocol 10″ is, and stop stop Strange from enacting it.
In a story that includes more villains than Arkham Asylum and story missions for Catwoman, does Arkham City “Dark Knight”(surpass) Arkham Asylum?
Brothers to THE END

Gears of War 3 is Epic’s, and one of Microsoft’s most successful franchises. From a fiscal standpoint, closing the book on the franchise is a terrible idea. But, maybe Cliff Bleszinski and the crew at Epic would rather focus on something new and different.
In Gears of War 3 you play as one of 8 playable characters, due to the addition of 4-player co-op. When you’re player one, you are Marcus Fenix (the main hulking bro), or Augustus Cole (the “WHOOO!” bro). You’re mostly Marcus, because this is his story.
