Dead Space Wii, the polar opposite of Chop Til' You Drop

Posted 2009-02-13 16:59:42 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Alright, the title's a bit preemptive, but sometimes you gotta make a stand.I can't be bothered to look back and see if I've talked about Dead Space yet, but I'm sure I have. And if I haven't, go listen to...

Auto-updates on PS3 and 360 are a must

Posted 2009-02-07 05:38:47 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

As I write this, I'm at stage 59 of a Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds update.Stage 59 of 669.It's been five minutes so far. 59 updates in five minutes is pretty cool, say, if those updates were from someone's...

Zombie outbreak? Don't throw a tantrum.

Posted 2009-02-04 05:01:30 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Oh, Left 4 Dead. What could there be left 2 say? I instantly regret doing that.But I have even worse regrets.For starters, I appear to love throwing myself to the wolves. The wolves I speak of are pre-pubescent males who...

Time, Time, Time, time, time.......

Posted 2009-01-27 01:04:54 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

If the combined accuracy of Kotaku and Neogaf are to be trusted (as well as the official press release), then Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is releasing on March 24, a mere month and one day after my...

The 2008 Dubies: Awards for the Dubious

Posted 2009-01-14 16:55:47 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

You're not able to swing a cat around your head without hitting someone's award ceremony for 2008. Even without trying I'm tripping over some goof's Game of the Year recepient. So, hopefully you're sick of it too, or else I've...

Advertising is no longer our scape goat

Posted 2008-12-16 05:04:21 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

I believe we finally have substantial evidence that a game can fail by any means necessary, absolutely no amount of advertising dollars can make a title sink or swim. For the longest time, blaming the commercial troubles of a particular...

JRPG's land everywhere but PS3

Posted 2008-12-10 05:57:02 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Up until 4 years ago it was a forgone conclusion to think, "Hey, I bet all my favourite Japanese RPG's are coming to the Playstation 3. Honestly, it's the evolution of the PS2, your one stop shop for all things...

Like a hamburger with onions inside

Posted 2008-12-08 05:26:28 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

And by a hamburger with onions inside, I'm talking about something that is just so good you can ignore the gross bits that may have ruined your appetite.In Mirror's Edge, forced combat is that bit of onion that makes me...

Used and abused

Posted 2008-11-24 05:36:48 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

I've always been this staunch believer in supporting the industry.I've very rarely bought a used game, and have only done so when the game is clearly out of print.And before I got on any further, I'm not tooting my own...

Gearbox better not be in trouble, or YOU'RE in trouble

Posted 2008-11-23 07:24:41 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

It would probably do more harm then good, but do you ever wish everyone had the same taste as you?I certainly do, because then I wouldn't still be wanting an unwarranted amount of time for Beyond Good and Evil 2.But...

My baby will have PC gamer blood in it

Posted 2008-11-23 06:47:11 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

With my girlfriend's laptop inching ever closer to becoming "our" laptop (one with diminishing harddrive space due to my less than cautious downloading habits), I've adopted it as my poor performing gaming rig.That's right consoles, I've gone over to the...

The crybaby's take on Mirror's Edge

Posted 2008-11-17 05:00:32 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Mirror's Edge accomplishes what I wanted it to. I wanted the sensation of actually controlling a human being, something I never felt in any other title from a first person perspective. Half Life 2 scores highly for interactions with other...

Not Practising Dignity, or a terrible way to start off a post about NPD Chart discussion

Posted 2008-11-14 06:06:29 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

So October's National Product Diary results were published yesterday. The thing's become my menstrual cycle. All month I'm feeling nice and chipper, and then that beast comes and makes everything feel like cold, emotionless chalk. It's not the results really....

Phoenix Down is provided, Tyler lives again

Posted 2008-11-14 05:29:47 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

If you came into this expecting a Final Fantasy post, you really need to turn around now. That included image is as close as you're going to get, so enjoy it in it's compressed glory ladies and gents. When I...

Zombies have become too cool

Posted 2008-10-27 06:57:29 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Zombies and video games go hand in hand. Of course, I'm sure that were I writing about soap, I'd say that it went hand in hand with our favourite past time. But just stick with me here. While it's hard...

The Goo that's good for you. And that's pretty rare.

Posted 2008-10-26 05:35:31 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Oh my lord, don't ever count on me to rebuild the world's structures should anything happen. I'm likely to be deemed the world's worst engineer. Don't put any of those fancy designers on the either in our time of need....

Letting the Dead occupy my living Space

Posted 2008-10-22 05:40:39 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Excellent title, or excellentest title? Probably neither. Ladies and gentlemen, Dead Space is officially a great game. Despite the entire universe proclaiming this to be true for a week or so, I've put my tramp stamp of approval on it....

Do I talk about WiiWare too much? Well, here I go again

Posted 2008-10-19 06:59:37 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

It's arguable that Sony and Microsoft pay little to no mind to their downloadable offerings. Microsoft has definetly changed their tune this past summer, building up the month of August as one belonging to XBLA, your one stop shop for...

The new Brothers in Arms game that is actually good

Posted 2008-10-16 07:03:10 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

Is the Brothers in Arms franchise one of those nutty ones that no one really talks about but plenty enjoy? It's hard to think of anything that would compare to this situation, as it obviously sells decently enough to warrant...

DLC, best served early?

Posted 2008-10-10 06:25:04 by Tyler Ohlew at Pressing Buttons

I know that downloadable content is good business. And there ain't no business like good business. Show business is far more cutthroat than you've been lead to believe. No one wants anything to do with that stuff anymore. Not even...
