Lately Snackbar Games has been picked up by some other sites, that list our reviews. That’s very cool and all, but they assign grades for us, which is pretty lame. We have strayed away from giving out grades to games in our review because the fear of setting a high precedence. Once the first 10 out of 10 is given, you must now measure every game by that standard. I often times see two games given a 10 in gamer mags, when one game is better then other hands down.
Also a review in the hands of a fan boy of a series is more then likely going to get an outstanding review. I think we have been pretty successful in disclaimering reviews with (This might be a tad bit biased, I am a fan boy of the series). I am very guilty of this with anything Square Enix related, Cone with anything platform related, and Pretz with most FPS games. What can I say we got our niches too, just like you guys.
Anyways we need a way to better describe how we feel about a game, right now the Crew, its writing staff and NEW editors just give it a rent, don’t bother, or buy status. We give a take on the game, what you do from their is your call. So hit us up with some ideas on how to better that system. Email them to one of us or post it on our forums.
Nippon Ichi rules, massively. We got a new banner up for La Pucelle Tactics. Show your support for their awesome games. If you have never tried one of their games then leave work and go get one. Except for you kids at school, that shit is important, but after school go get it.
We really focus on the console games here, but we have a community of keyboard and mouse folk too. Half Life 2 ships today, so I guess you guys are pretty fucking pumped up about that. I mean what more can be said about Half Life 2 that uh, has not already been said? Ahh who am I kidding I have no clue what Half Life is even about, I dont care, hell I equate Half Life with that bitchfest that is Counter Strike. So, if PC Gaming is your bag of tea, then congrats, I guess.
Seems that the good people at Marvel are suing NCsoft and developer Cryptic Studios for their game City of Heroes. The suit alleges that the game allows players to illegally create likenesses of their copyrighted characters. As we all know the game City of Heroes has a hardcore custom hero creator, and not only can you make your own bad asses, but you can come very close to making copies of Wolverine, Cyclops and the rest. One can only wonder how far this will go as it’s the players themselves who are creating the characters.
Snackbar middle finger to Marvel for this move.

We had some great multiplayer action last night. We did hit the lag bumps, but that is to be expected. The lag was nothing we could not handle, though the kids whining about the lag I could do without. Key words, invite only, makes sure that your party stays bitching free. The multiplayer shines with creative game making, the faster paced the better, and multi team slayer is a more then welcome treat. If you are interested we have a Snackbar Games clan up and ready, shoot us a message if you want in.
