Dead Rising 2 Zombrex Edition Unboxing September 28, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Maniac unboxes the Dead Rising 2 Zombrex Edition, it’s quite nice. I chose this over the High Stakes Edition because the High Stakes Edition (0nly in the Capcom Online Store) didn’t include the behind the scenes bonus disc with the entire Zombrex Dead Rising Sun movie. That plus I wanted the extra shot of Zombrex, just in case.

diskreader117 and I continue our conversation about Halo Reach, and discuss what they liked about the game, because they did in fact enjoy it very much, although they thought it could’ve been better. Also we talk about the latest Halo Reach news, including new content that is coming for the game.
We also talk about the latest Halo Reach news including when matchmaking will work for Campaign, what the most difficult armor to get will be, and discuss easter eggs
What Would Have Made Halo Reach Better? September 27, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
In a rare first for gameXcess, I actually have someone other than myself in a video. Joined by diskreader117, we talk about Halo Reach, and what could have been improved with it. But don’t watch this video and think we didn’t like the game, we both did very much, and in the next part we talk about what we liked.
Kotaku’s Comments on a Starcraft II Cinematic DVD Forgot Something September 16, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Apparently Kotaku has a really short memory when they posted up the off the cuff comment that Bobby Kotick had about an interest in selling the cinematics of Starcraft II on a DVD.
What they forgot to mention is BLIZZARD ALREADY DID THAT! Before Blizzard merged with Activision they actually sold a really collectable DVD boxed set of all the cinematics from Warcraft III, Diablo II and Starcraft (and Brood War)’s cinematics in stores for 20 dollars US. Don’t believe me?
Hell you could probably still buy it on Blizzard’s website, or at least find it on Ebay.

This is what I waited in line for, the Halo Reach Legendary Edition. The Limited Edition is likely sold out everywhere, but I think there’s still Legendary Editions for sale, if you have enough cash to afford it.
Trust me, you WANT to afford it. Just look at this thing.

Halo Reach came out at midnight today and this is what was waiting for me in front of my local GameStop when I came to pick up my order. There were a ton of Halo fans ready to play, furvored with anticipation. Some of them were even willing to sit for an interview!
Check out my coverage of Halo Reach’s midnight launch, at my local GameStop in glorious 1080p!
If you’re just checking out the site for the first time because you’re one of the people interviewed, thanks again!
Top Five Jedi Knight Cutscenes September 9, 2010

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II probably has some of the best cutscenes seen to date in a video game, and it is probably where all my love for cutscenes has come from.
Here’s a list of the top five cutscenes in the game.
Man I miss live-action FMVs.
Top Five Alan Wake Cutscenes August 29, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos, Top Cutscenes.8 comments
I had so much fun making the Top Ten Halo Cutscenes I decided to do another one, a top five with the game that I’ve been playing almost all summer, Alan Wake.
The game’s sense of story, pacing, tension, drama and humor are perfect, and it was difficult to even pick five of the best, let alone ranking them. But here’s my list of the best cutscenes in Alan Wake.
Scenes were graded based on story, quotable dialog, music, and setting, and given a score based upon each. I have to say, it was very difficult but totally worth it.
If you haven’t played this game yet, shame on you!
Coffee Table Video Game Art Books August 22, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.1 comment so far
I love when games transcend the medium, and occasionally a publisher will release a beautiful art book based around a video game, worthy of any collector’s coffee table.
Some people like art books, some people like books on landscaping or home design, I like my coffee table books on video games.
Top Ten Halo Cutscenes Supplement August 15, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos, Top Cutscenes.4 comments
After reading all the comments from my recent Top Ten Halo Cutscenes video, it surprised me everyone wanted me to include Halo Wars and Halo 3 ODST.
The truth was, because the games were so new (both were released in 2009), they just couldn’t score high enough in the nostalgia sector to beat the contenders for the top ten. But there was enough of a demand from fans that I decided at least five more should be posted.
The rules were still the same. They were graded on story, music, quotable dialog, setting and nostalgia, but with a few twists. Halo 3 ODST and Halo Wars cutscenes could make the list now, however, no cutscene that had previously been on the list could.
So for the people who watched and enjoyed my previous top ten, enjoy, this is for all of you!
