Where is the Avengers Video Game? May 7, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
The Avengers came out last week and is line to become one of the biggest films of all time. What surprised me was that I’ve noticed many people complaining online this week that no Avengers video game has been released to tie-in with the movie.
I have just been scratching my head while reading these comments because an Avengers video game already exists. It was released in 2006, features pretty much the entire Marvel cast of heroes, and is a pretty fun game. Watch the video to find out more!
Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition Unboxing May 6, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Maniac unxboxes the Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition on the Xbox 360. The game, originally released in 2010, has won numerous awards across the board and is considered to be one hell of a fun open world western.
Just what extra has been added to this new release of the game, lets crack the game open and find out.
While we opened up the Xbox 360 version of the game here, you can also find this edition on the Playstation 3. One nice thing that I noticed is that unlike some other game of the year editions I have seen previously, the game does not include just simply a normal version of the game disc with downloadable codes for the extra content but the content is included on an extra disc (or with the game disc itself).

This is the long-awaited eleventh gamexcess.net podcast, and by request I’m keeping it old-school, and you really can’t get more old-school than the Unreal series by Epic Games.
In this new podcast, Maniac talks about the glory days of the original Unreal Tournament, LAN Parties with Linux users, being one of the first people to see Unreal Engine 3 and all the great steps and not so great steps that the series has taken over the years!

Comic Jumper Captain Smiley Statue Unboxing April 13, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Continuing the post-pax coverage I noticed that there was some popularity to showing off some of the goodies I got at the event. I’ve wanted a statue of Captain Smiley since first playing Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley.
Twisted Pixel was at PAX East this year showing off Ms. Splosion Man on iPad (which you can read my preview of here) and I decided now was the best time to put down the cash for this. In fact, the guys at Twisted Pixel were willing to sign it for me free of charge.
Take a look at this high quality gaming collectible!
You can get one of these for yourself on Twisted Pixel’s website.
