When we were kids, El Train and I would have a blast playing games on his Nintendo 64 like Starfox 64 or Crusin’ USA. We dust off the greatly loved device and take a really good look at it for the first time in years. Maybe you might learn something about it you hadn’t heard before!

The second official gameXcess.net podcast has been released, and this time the topic of discussion is Metal Gear Solid. I take this one alone this time. I talk about some of my fondest Metal Gear Solid memories, starting with my first exposure to the series back in 1999 and what happened during the twelve years since then.

I picked up the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Limited Edition last night at midnight. This Limited Edition is going to be released for both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, and I picked up the Playstation 3 version. It has a price tag of $79.99US, which is a thirty dollar premium over the regular edition of the game. Included for the extra money is one hell of an amazing artbook. Take a look for yourselves!

I’ve been trying to have an official site podcast for a few months now, and now that YouTube has lifted the 15 minute restriction from my account (again) I finally have a way to get it out there. (I can’t host audio files on the site, I have no idea why).
With Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary coming out next week, I decided to call up diskreader117 and talk to him about what our favorite Halo memories have been over the past ten years, and trust me there have been quite a few! So please give it a listen!

I swung on by my local GameStop tonight to check the status of my preorder of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and THIS is the sight I was greeted by. This was at 5:30pm! The game is coming out at midnight, they’re going to be waiting over six more hours! That is just awesome.

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
I have a very special, um…special edition to unbox for the site today. This is the Back to the Future: The Game Deluxe Edition. You can only buy this off Telltale’s Official Website, and if you have already purchased the downloadable version of the game, you can buy this at a discount.
This has a $20US premium over the game’s Collector’s Edition, which includes all five of the downloadable Back to the Future game episodes, as well as exclusive DVD special features on the disc. The Deluxe Edition includes the Collector’s Edition disc (with an alternate cover) as well as some extra goodies.
Is it worth it? I crack it open and see.

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Uncharted first released in 2007, one year after the PS3 launched, but it quickly became the most popular exclusive of that holiday season. When Uncharted 2 released in 2009, it recieved more than just game of the year awards for the PS3, it recieved game of the year awards among ALL platforms.
Now, Uncharted 3 is out, and I picked up the first ever Collector’s Edition for the series that was released to retail. Is it worth picking up? Watch the video for my review.
The Darkness II Darkling Collectible Unboxing October 31, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
2K Games sent me this nice Halloween surprise today. I now have my own personal Darkling! The Darkling, you may remember, is a major character in The Darkness games. Originally from the comics, it can assist you during gameplay in a variety of ways (in the first game they could carry chainguns, destroy lights, or blow themselves up). They also have the disinction of being parodied in one of the very first Zero Punctuation reviews (I believe they were the basis for the imp creature which have appeared in pretty much every other ZP review done).
These Darkling statues were made to promote The Darkness II and were first announced just before this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Only 1,800 of them will ever be made, and I’ve got one of them.
Special thanks to 2K for having these made, and giving one to me! I’d like to thank David Eggers and Elizabeth Toby in paticular for running the promotion, and for putting up with me at the NY Comic Con! Expect a Darkness II preview soon!
The Darkness II is going to be released in February, 2012 for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
