Jobocan’s impressions on the E3 keynote conferences

June 15th, 2010

Well the E3 conferences are done. Some of them sucked, one of them was fucking awesome, and here I am to give my impressions on them.

I’ll comment about both things that were announced, and my impressions about the conferences as a whole. There were 5 big conferences, and I’ll talk about all of them, though I will just skim through the less interesting ones.

And I know that E3 isn’t done yet, more could be announced, but this is just about the conferences.

So read on!

Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars – Character Impressions

January 31st, 2010

Well, I got my review out for the game, but one tiny element was missing from it. And that is the characters. I thought that, instead of just having a passing mention of each, I’d talk a little bit about each of them in a seperate post.

So let’s go right at it! (The new characters are in their own section instead of being in their respective side)
(NOTE: I’m not a pro at fighting games… so if i get some thing wrong, that’s why… cheers… comment if you want to offer insight)

Video Gaming – What are the Gold Standards?

January 15th, 2010

The other day I started randomly thinking about this: What are the gold standards in the gaming industry? What games best define their own genre? This is what I set out to figure out.

Let’s go right away and define what “Gold Standard” means. It’s pretty simple. It has to be:
1. A game that defines the genre it’s in.
2. It has to be a high-quality game/series.
3. It still has to be fun to play.
4. Of course, it doesn’t need to be the BEST in the genre, but it has to be the one to have set most of the genre’s standards.
5. It has to be an older game, as much as possible.

So read on and see what are the Gold Standards in the gaming industry! Of course, if I’m missing a genre(there’s some I didn’t put in because I either could think of any 1 game that defined the genre, or that were too similar to another genre that I didn’t need to include them), or if you think about a game that I might not have thought about for any of the categories, be sure to comment!
