Super Street Fighter IV 3D Review
It’s unanimous among the gaming community that the 2011 class of Nintendo 3DS launch titles were (how can I say this nicely) lame. As a day one consumer of Nintendo’s latest handheld I can honestly say half of the four games I purchased (Pilotwings and Steel Diver) have become dust collectors with eBay written all over them. Nevertheless there were two gems out the bunch that I still enjoy to this...[Read More]
Thoughts on Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat takes me back to a golden age of gaming. A time when arcade cabinets ruled and neighbor fought neighbor over which system reigned supreme Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. I can fondly remember my first encounter with MK. It was after school and I was 8 years old (don’t tell Joe Lieberman). My grandmother sent me around the corner with $1.25 to buy a slice of pizza. In the pizzeria the...[Read More]
Controller vs Controller: Fight!
As I surfed the web today in search of the latest launch day titles to sooth my never- ending thirst for the perfect gaming experience I found myself once again full of doubt. A familiar uncertainty stemming not from the decision of what game to buy but from the conundrum of deciding what console to buy it for. Clearly this is a crisis of luxury but a crisis nonetheless and one I find myself battl...[Read More]
NBA 2K10 Review
Every year companies like EA and 2K Sports unleash a barrage of new sports games upon the world with just enough upgrades to keep die hard fans coming back for more and to attract a few noobs here and there. I myself am no exception to the rule. I own Madden ‘95, ’98, ‘06, ‘09, and ‘10 but the truth of the matter is I haven’t bought a basketball game since NBA Shoot Out (1996). This year I got my ...[Read More]

Sony Press Conference… I Need To Attend More Sh*t Like This
I woke up early as sh*t this morning (once again) then Brooklyn and I headed over to the Shrine Auditorium where Sony was holding their annual E3 press conference. I must say…even though Sunday evenings Momma’s Hot Tamales event was an epic fail for Sony in my opinion (some “official” blog that shall remain nameless made the occasion out to be the social event of the year…I warned y’al...[Read More]
Microsoft Lays The Smack Down On Nintendo
The saga continues… I woke up early this morning…a little too early if you ask me (5:30PST). This damn jet lag has been kicking my ass. After a long bid sitting in front of my laptop blogging to you folks Brooklyn and I sat down and watched the Microsoft press conference.
Destructoid Event…or Frat Party?
We capped the evening off (thanks to Nintendo’s early ass conference the next day) by attending an open bar (and open kitchen) event hosted by the team at Destructoid. It was at a place called Cafe Brass Monkey (does every E3 party venue have to have a bizarre name?) Upon walking up to the event I noticed a barrage of drunkards hanging out in front of the door slurring their words and yellin...[Read More]
Sony Playstation Blog Event… Tamales Anyone?
Wassup people…it’s ya boy SpaceBarZ. I’m out here in L.A. with Brooklyn covering the E3 Convention. I’m going to be doing a blog that recaps the day’s festivities to keep you all up to speed on what Game Informer refers to as “the seedy underworld of the gaming industry.” I’ll keep things as real as possible and let you all know what’s really going on. I landed at LAX...[Read More]
Kotaku’s Golden Gopher E3 Event
After we left the Sony epic fail we headed to a Kotaku open bar mixer at an off the beaten path L.A. bar called the Golden Gopher. While we waited in line I observed this weird industry hierarchy here that I’m really not feeling. It seems like the upper epsilon of the gaming community doesn’t wait in lines! They just roll up to parties with their leather jackets on and transition lenses and ...[Read More]

Recession Sale on Left 4 Dead!!!
Gamestop (love’m or hate’m) has been doing a lot in the past few months to one-up their competition.
