Professional Bull Riders Outside the Chute Review
11:50 AM - November 6, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Alexander Senate
As long as I have been on this earth, I have been able to use video games as an escape from life and all of its challenges. Whenever I have been in need of a distraction or some catharsis, video games have always been there for me. But after playing Professional Bull Riding: Out Of The Chute, for the first time in my existence, I used life as a way to distract me from having to play video games.

With the NBA season tipping off tonight, it seems more timely than ever to see what the top NBA game this year says about the upcoming season. Our own Alexander Senate took a peak at NBA 2K9's crystal ball and has what 2K9 predicted for the 2008 season.

Quote:
"All of those stats are great and once again bravo to Bryan for simulating 15 seasons. However, I can hear some of you asking, "what about this season?" I’m glad you asked because I have all the answers."

NBA 2K9, a PC Dilemma
11:50 AM - October 22, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Alexander Senate
With the release of the PC version of NBA 2K9, there are a few things for fans to consider before hopping on the bandwagon and purchasing the game (despite it's ultra-low $20 price of admission). Check out Alexander's Senate's take on the dilemma facing PC NBA 2K9 fans.

Quote:
"The PC version of NBA 2K9 was released yesterday for the low price of $19.99, and is essentially a port of the Xbox 360 version (which is great), but it is being released without any online functionality (which is not as great)."

Where Art Thou College Hoops 2K9?
01:40 PM - October 9, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Alexander Senate
We should be just a couple of weeks away from the release of the newest version of the College Hoops 2Kx series. Instead, a business decision has rendered gamers with just a single choice of a college basketball title. Today, Alexander Senate laments and asks, Where Art Thou College Hoops 2K9.

Quote:
"In Memoriam

I am going to miss College Hoops 2K9 this year. I'm lamenting the fact that there is going to be another quality 2K college basketball sim for 2009. When I heard that 2K was not able to reach a licensing agreement with the Collegiate Licensing Company, I had to accept the fact that this was the end of an era -- at least for now."

Fixing Fighting in NHL 2010: Fight Night on Ice
11:14 AM - September 30, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Alexander Senate
NHL 09 is, by most accounts, a truly great game. However, there is one feature in NHL which is just subpar, the fighting engine. Alexander Senate checks in today with an article discussing how to fix the fighting engine in NHL 09 to bring it up to par with the rest of the games quality. Check out his thoughts and be sure to add your own two cents!

Quote:
"NHL 09 is the favorite to win my personal Game of the Year award at this point. Unless one of the NBA games comes and knocks it off next month (I’m looking at you 2K9), the race is already over. We can leave the argument for MLB 08: The Show for another time, but what we can’t debate is that no matter how impressive NHL 09 is in terms of gameplay and replayability, there is one thing that is missing. It is something that is one of the most popular aspects of all hockey video games, if not the sport of hockey as a whole. I am of course speaking about the lack of a fully immersive fighting mode. It is something that 09 is plagued by. I did however come up with the way to fix it."

Guide to Breaking Street Dates
07:37 PM - September 26, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Alexander Senate
Before a major game releases, are you one of many hard-core fanatics looking for that one magical copy of the game you are seeking which has broken the street date? To get you primed for NBA 2K9's release, Alexander Senate has written a guide to breaking street dates. Be sure to comment with your own tips!

Quote:
"It seems that every time there is a highly anticipated game being released, forum-goers always ask these inevitable questions: “Who got it? Where did you get it? What did you have to do for it?” These questions are a necessary part of our Internet lives, since we are all trying to one up strangers who are clearly not as cool as us. After all, if they were as cool as us they would have the game too. "
