Video Game CHAINSAW Showdown: MadWorld vs. Gears of War 2 vs. Resident Evil 5

Sep. 11 3:19 PM by The Pig

Being a big fan of anything that has to do with motorized saws, I couldn't help but notice the slew of new games on the horizon that have chainsaw weapons as a big part of the game. I'm talking about Gears of War Deuce, the black and white (and red) Wii bloodbath MadWorld, and Resident Evil 5 (the sack-headed chainsaw psycho from RE4 has been replaced by a leaner, meaner, non-spanish speaking opponent who also uses a chainsaw to rip through people he doesn't like).

FORUMLIFE: Most disappointing movie and game?

Sep. 8 4:53 PM by KenTheGreat1

Today on ForumLife, GamePro user greensabre asks one of life's most important questions -- what movie and video game has disappointed you the most? It's a query that asks us to revisit unhappy times in our lives, but we're all about cleansing the pain! Trust us, there's nothing in the world more disappointing than bugging our parents for three weeks to go see the new Super Mario Bros. movie, and after a painful 104 minutes, looking completely retarded for wanting to see it so badly.

(See the original thread right here, and put your two cents in @ the GamePro forums!)

greensaber: "My most disappointing movie was The Phantom Menace. I couldn't believe at the time that George Lucas could make a bad Star Wars movie. I guess this one took the sting out of the next three, although I really didn't think Episodes I and III were all that bad.

My most disappointing game was Mario Bros. on Atari 2600. I got it at a garage sale when I was a real little kid back in the '80's, and I expected something awesome like Super Mario Bros. on NES. My parents wouldn't buy me an NES so I had to make do with the lame-balls Atari 2600. Well, needless to say I didn't get anything resembling SMB. I got another lame-balls 2600 game. Yeah I know the Atari 2600 is a classic and all, but aside from Asteroids and River Raid, I still can't stand it."

The 11 CHEESIEST Fake Video Game Movies

Aug. 21 8:22 PM by KenTheGreat1

Movies based on video games have finally reached the age where they can withstand tests of ultimate scrutiny. Unfortunately, there are some video games that have inspired the most visually offensive (yet still hilarious) fan-made movie trailers ever seen on the Internet. Today, the SlobsofGaming want you to grab a stiff drink (or a cool soda for you young kids) and a bowl of popcorn as we count down the 11 CHEESIEST fake video game movie trailers ever unleashed on mankind!

11. Kingdom Hearts 2

This trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2 is actually better than most of the fan-made stuff we've seen so far. Average photoshopping skills, a killer metal guitar cover for the main theme song, and decent editing -- not too shabby. Well, except the cosplay. Why is every person in this video wearing a dead forest animal on their heads? That's not supposed to be hair, is it? BLECH. And it's really too bad that the director (apparently) promised his fat girlfriend that she could cosplay as Kairi. If we've said it before, it bears repeating: don't do a cosplay when you don't have the right proportions for it.

VIDEO: Darth Vader in Rock Band?!

Jul. 31 11:57 PM by KenTheGreat1

Every so often, gamers show incredible ingenuity with the games they play. This week, one awesome rocker took the Rock Band wardrobe to an epic scale of AWESOME. Of course, the character creation isn't the most flexible tool -- but with multiple ways to color and skin your costumes and equipment, there's plenty of sweet acts you can mimic.

Some of our favorites are Iron Man, Venom, and Darth Vader -- that guy's been showing up everywhere...
