Bloodborne Review -Borne of the Blood-

Full Disclosure: I am a massive fan of the Souls series and have played each one to completion multiple times. This may bias and skew my views and wording in this review, but I will go over things that some people may not like as well. Bloodborne: The RRU Review And here we are, almost two months after the game had come out, and I'm only just starting to review it? Lexi, why is that? Because I wanted to have an air of professionalism in this review, I wanted to actually FINISH the game to th

My top 5 favorite Shiny Pokemon designs.

So, as some of you are aware, I'm a pretty big fan of Pokemon, having started all the way back in Crystal, and playing almost every Gen mere days after they release. And what's one of the rarest things ever, to a Pokemon fan? Shiny Pokemon, also known as Alternate Colored Pokemon. These monsters have a 1/4096 (1/8192 prior to Generation VI, X and Y) chance of being a different color to their normal pallete, and this is known as Shininess. So what are my personal favorite Shiny Color Pallete

Bungie Fires Martin O'Donnell

(RRU needs better Twitter integration) I can't hide it. I still have a soft spot for the games I grew up with, even if I don't necessarily enjoy those types of games anymore. Halo was one from my childhood. Quite a big part, in fact. A very large part was the incredible soundtrack constructed by Martin O'Donnell. This tweet confirms that the King of the Ivory Tower has been removed from his throne. It's a sad, unfitting end to one of the greatest musical legacies in gaming. Report

The LEGO Movie Videogame

Before we start; I don't like to insult or say harsh things about Game Developers. They work hard, long hours with minimal pay, and usually to little payoff. I'm sure with this game they worked their absolute hardest. However, I don't think it's right to ever let a game just slide away with cardinal sins, and so I will be brutal if need be. Not because I hate the devs, but because I hope that, if I can't teach them what's wrong, I can help prevent future devs from making the same mistakes.

Xbox One Security Backdoor Exposed (And You Won't Believe How!)

Now, I've heard of some pretty bad things about the Xbox One, but this takes the cake. Apparently, a five-year-old was able to break into his father's Xbox Live account by filling the password section with spaces. Let me repeat that. This kid spammed the spacebar to play his dad's games. So, this kid discovered the trick, and got away with it until shortly after Christmas (no idea on why it took so long for the news to pick it up). His parents (finally) realized their son was pla

Lead Writer of Uncharted series fired by Naughty Dog

So, Amy Hennig, one of the more talented writers in the industry, has been "let go" and doesn't work at Naughty Dog anymore. According to her, she was "forced out" by Neal Druckmann, who was the lead writer for "The Last of Us" Which was my personal Game of the Year of 2013. Now, this is a mixed bag. On one hand, one of the best writers in the industry is out of a job, but on the OTHER HAND, if square sees potential in her, they could potentially hire her again, and set her to work on writi

Twitch Plays Pokemon (And All Hell Breaks Loose)

http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon This is purgatory. The Catholics were right, plain and simple. It exists and the Internet is living in it. THE INFINITE MONKEY THEOREM GIVEN LIFE AND IT'S HORRIBLY GLORIOUS. This "Social experiment" involves some coding, an emulator, a Twitch livestream, and everyone's sanity as the Internet goes forth to complete Pokemon Red by inputting controls via chat. Sounds like a fun time, right? Well, it's not that simple. There's about a 20-second

Goat Simulator 2014

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JN2QUhaKN2Q Thank me later. SERIOUSLY THOUGH! Game Jam has just finished up, right around the world. I'm pretty upset I didn't get to participate due to commitments this year, but thankfully the results of my local Game Jam, as well as many others are starting to show up, and it looks like this was a pretty good year for Indie Development.

Ultimate EB Expo 2013 Wrap-Up: Part 2 - That Expo Feeling

Yeah yeah, I know guys, I need to talk about the games, but there were SO many games that even trying to get it all down in a draft version is difficult. We will come to it, I promise, but right now I want to clear out some other stuff just so I don't miss anything. And while we're on the subject of apologies, I just recently found out that a few things I may have said before were wrong. As I said, I was tired and sore, so it's likely that I've muddled words.

Ultimate EB Expo 2013 Wrap-Up: Part 1 - Consoles

Well guys, you might have noticed my absence as of recent, and in big part it's due to my involvement with the EB Expo 2013, which I'm going to give you a nice insight to. It was one hell of a massive and crazy thing, and while it can't really compare to the likes of E3 or Gamescom, it was the biggest convention in Australia (as far as gaming is concerned), and it certainly showed. Working for Ubisoft game me a nice VIP pass to get through on things fast, so I was able to give quite a lot of wha

E3 2013: Microsoft Press Conference

Instead of the initial 15 promised titles, we were told there would be 13 Next-Gen exclusive titles. Right out of the gate was Konami. They launched the conference with "Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain". Interesting, they showed off their "Fox Engine", which boasted features such as: Open-World Stealth Real-Time Weather Transport "Tactical Espionage" Redefined Strategic Freedom Realistic Passage of Time Deeper stealth action Dynamic "CQC" (Unknown what CQC is

Microsoft wants to forcibly take two domains

It's been a while since out last news report, but I couldn't let this one slip by. We all know Microsoft brought out its latest "entertainment package", the Xbox One, yes? Well, they wanted a website specifically for the device. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the domain(s) is parked by a guy in Britain...from at least 2 years ago. xboxone.com and xboxone.net are both owned by a man from Britain, and as it turns out, the webarchive indicates that the site may have existed as far back a

NVIDIA Shield, An Android-Powered Handheld Console?

Technically, this would fall under "Tech News", but since we don't have that yet, I may as well put this here. That and james is doing a fine job with LEGO News as it is. You know all of those Android-powered things that people keep talking about lately (Google Glass, the Ouya, etc.)? Well, here's another one fr the masses. Apparently, NVIDIA (the guys who make good Graphics Cards and tablet CPUs) revealed a handheld gaming device set for release this June, known as the Shield. However

Review: Soul Sacrifice Demo

So some of you may have heard about the Playstation Vita? Sony's little machine that couldn't? It really deserves some more games, as It's current library is rather....lacking, to say the least. When I first heard of Soul Sacrifice, I was ecstatic. Keiji Inafune, the man behind Megaman, working on a new game? A portable Monster Hunter game on a system that Capcom have gone on record saying there won't be any on? It's a dream come true. So does it live up to the hype that surrounded it?

Review: Bioshock: Infinite

"The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist..." ~ Rosalind Lutece Wow. Just. Wow. For 5 years, this game had been sitting in the cooking pot, awaiting the day it would finally see the light. It was delayed 3 times. Some people started to lose hope, believing Irrational Games could never do the impossible; create a sequel equal to or better than the original. They did it. Bioshock: Infinite is art. If all games are art,

EA CEO Resigns

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3GwjfUFyY6M It's official. John Riccitiello (a difficult name to write) has decided to jump ship. On March 30th, he'll officially be leaving the company. Until his replacement is found, Larry Probst has been named as the temporal replacement by the Executive Board. This is John's second time leaving the company; his stint between 1997 to 2004 was arguable the greatest years of EA, giving us some classic games and rising t

Nintendo Renews An Interesting Trademark

So, who here remembers Eternal Darkness? If I remember correctly, it was a Gamecube launch title, and by GOD was it amazing. It was the first "M" rated game to be published by nintendo, and it had some of the best horror I've SEEN in a game. (It had a sanity meter before it was cool) Nintendo recently renewed the Trademark for the game. Could this be a sequel? A remake for the WiiU? Or just nintendo trying to keep it's own IP secure? We'll know soon enough, I wager. Sources: http:

Interesting "game" found on the internet

So, I was browsing Kotaku today, and I noticed they had something on a game they found. It wasn't a full article, just a little thing on the sidebar. It has to do with Gender Dysphoria, and how it affects those that are affected by it. I thought it was a very good teaching tool, and a glimpse into the lives of people like me. Go check it out. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn a little bit more about our lives and how we live them. (Link is in the source) Sources: http://explode.cute

More Information on Assassin's Creed IV

Seeing as I enjoy the Assassin's Creed franchise, and seeing that there are a few Creed fans within this community (and partly because jamesster keeps getting to all the good stuff for LEGO news), I've decided to write up on the latest in these games. In case you haven't noticed, there was a pretty big leak this week for AC4, in the form of a premier trailer. You see, good old Ubisoft was going to keep this trailer under wraps until Monday (March 5th), when they would also reveal the releas

Obsidian Could Do Another Star Wars RPG

:lol: If you're a Star Wars and a Gaming Fan, chances are KotORII was one of, it not your most, favourite Star Wars video games. Yeah, it wasn't exactly "perfect", but Obsidian took what BioWare started, ran with it, added a whole new dimension of complexity and intrigue to it, and released something beautiful. Well, it looks like, even after Disney stated they would shift more focus onto mobile and casual games ( > ), Obsidian, according to CEO Feargus Urquhart, is gearing up to do anot

Assassin's Creed 4 Confirmed

Well, that tears it, Ubisoft. If you can't even bother to fix your previous games before you go on ahead and type up about new ones, we can't be friends anymore. Ubisoft has announced another AC game to be coming anytime between April 1st to sometime next year. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot talked a lot about how the game will be totally new and fresh, although considering that's what they said about AC3, and they lied about the PC version and many features ingame, I don't think it's right to

The Witcher 3 announced!

Let's get this out of the way. Zephy is a MASSIVE Witcher Fangirl. I've red 2/3 of the books (Too lazy to learn polish just to read the last one, luckily the U.S edition is coming out July 1st of this year.) I've played the games (Well, only a little of 2) And this had me stoked. Let's go a few weeks back, during the teens of january. CD Projekt Red released a teaser trailer for "Cyberpunk" which got most people hard with anticipation, but left me with a sour taste. Prerendered trailers always

An Even Longer Time Ago... SWTOR

I think it went F2P rather recently, and that's the only way I was able to play, seeing as I REALLY don't wish to pay like...20$ for a subscription. It's a

Sony Patents Away Used Games (Maybe)

Okay, okay. Let's not completely panic here. They have yet to say if they're going to use it at this point. However, they still have the patent on it which suggests they're thinking about it. Basically, Sony new patent is for an "invention" where basically when you want to play a video game on a Sony console, the ID number of said game gets tied to your account/console. So, unless you sell your console with the game, this will effectively ruin the used game market. Now, Sony's patent does d

Assassin's Creed 3 Review

Yesterday we had the fantastic, gorgeous, fun and amazing Dishonoured. Steaming along on with the Top 10 for 2012, it's been a rather highly debated title, but hey, it beats Burnout: Most Wanted...so prepare your tomahawks and hidden blades, because it's "One kills a man, one is an assassin; one kills millions, one is a conqueror; one kills everybody, one is a god." ~Jean Rostand You would have had to of been deaf and blind to not know about Assassin's Creed 3.
