FIFA 11 Gameplay Trailer and Details
August 21st, 2010 | By Desz
FIFA 11 fever has officially started! During TQcast’s E3 2010 trip, we had the chance to test out FIFA 11 and one of the most recognized new features had to be the new player’s personality feature. I have to admit, that some average players on the older FIFA games might have been too good within the game. This time around, EA has made huge adjustments when it comes to the player’s personalities. Your players will play much like they do in real life; with identical stamina, ball control, shooting, passing and much more. Check out the rest of the features FIFA 11 is bringing this time around, and check out the incredible looking FIFA 11 Gameplay Trailer and images below. (more…)
The Best Reason the Mass Effect Series Belongs on The PS3
August 19th, 2010 | By Desz
Ever since the announcement of Mass Effect making it’s way to the PS3, there have been many opinions, on why it should be on the PS3 or why it shouldn’t be on the PS3. Microsoft fans want to keep Mass Effect as an exclusive, while PS3 gamers want not only Mass Effect 2, but also Mass Effect 1. But forget every other reason out there, we are here to back up Mass Effect 2 for one reason and one reason only. (more…)
Choose Your Destiny or Your Wallet?
August 19th, 2010 | By TheL1T1G4T0R
The first Mortal Kombat game immediately captured the attention of Arcade gamers and the majority of their quarters back in 1992. Now almost eighteen years later, gamers are still hooked but this time, their consoles are the destination for the latest epic installment of the Mortal Kombat series. With so much competition for your money in the fighting genre, is choosing your destiny one more time in Mortal Kombat really worth the price?
At Gamescom 2010, Producer Hector Sanchez released new details about the ninth version Mortal Kombat and confirmed the series’ return to it’s bloody roots. Still that doesn’t mean there won’t be new additions. Just look at the HD trailer and you will quickly see this is not the same game you bought years ago. While the list of characters has grown tremendously, their respective styles started to overlap and it became overly ridiculous with multiple ninja types, multiple robots, and even several female characters sharing the same costume.
But this game is going to strive to make each character different…most likely in the area of fighting of course. We’ll see more customized fatalities, weapons, and perhaps even some dramatic costume overhauls. But is that really enough to tear us away from the likes of Marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken X Street Fighter, or any other modern day fighter?
The promise of faster game play is not original nor does it do anything to enhance the feeling of nostalgia. Perhaps it will excite experienced fighting gamers but will that carry over to the average gamer and more importantly newcomers to the series?
An aggressive pricing of $39.99 would definitely help many throw caution to the wind but where is the innovation? Fatalities are great and humorous additions like Babalities and Friendships changed things up. Will we see mini games like Test Your Might, Motor Kombat, and Kombat Chess all return to help this game pack enough punch to fight for our attention? It would be nice to have all these things instead of seeing each of them fade with each new game. Just imagine a Mortal Kombat game with everything you have seen from the past eighteen years. Even a $60 price might be justified at that point. But the question still looms…would you pay it?
Do you think Mortal Kombat is moving in the right direction? What would you like to see in the next installment?

Xbox 360 Gamers, Get Better Sound From Your Games For Much Less
August 19th, 2010 | By Desz
One of the most underrated features about video games has to be the sound. You can play a great game such as Uncharted 2 or Halo, but if your sound lacks bass, treble, and clarity, you are not getting the experience, video game developers intend you to have. While having a top of the line surround sound system is great, not everybody can blast their system loud enough without bothering family or neighbors, unless you live in boonies somewhere. Luckily, for us city gamers, there are gaming headsets. (more…)
