The Bourne Conspiracy Demo Review 2008-06-02 20:20:37 So we all know that movie to video game and video game to movie combinations tend to suck right? Of course we do. In that case,why the hell do game developers and Hollywood jerk-offs continue to push for it to work. In 9 out of 10 cases it just doesn't. The occasional success being few and far between (i.e. LOTR: Two Towers, and ....uh...that's about it). Since the days of the horrific Street Fig Read more:Bourne

Movie Review: The King of Kong 2008-06-02 18:53:19 Disclaimer: Apparently, there is a lot of controversy surrounding this movie. From misstated facts to records not being recognized, the twenty people who care about the Donkey Kong high score record have lambasted the movie for its errors. You can do a google or yahoo search about this movie and will find countless posts about the upper echelon of people from twingalaxies.com (the people who keep Read more:Movie Review
Two Worlds.... 2008-05-31 12:29:39 Around this time last year, a game was released that had a lot of hype behind it. They called it an Oblivion slayer. They bragged about playing online with your friends. Needless to say, I was excited. Then the big day came, I rented a copy (good move) and jumped into a big pile of shit.What was this I was playing? It certainly was not the amazing game I had been hearing about. This looked like a Read more:Two Worlds

Games of Yore #4 - Street Fighter II 2008-05-27 00:00:51 I wanted to save this special game for a special holiday. Street
Fighter II is the granddaddy of all fighting games. If you grew up in the eighties and started to come of age in the early nineties, you know what I am talking about. Street Fighter II is the quintessential fighting game and sets the stage for such superb fighting games like Justice Stage Task Force, Pit Fighter, The Simpsons Wres Read more:Games

Make no mistake about it, this IS the greatest country in the world.Last night the crew shared a special moment. We were relaxing after the Saturday night affair (AKA party) by having a few drinks.

GTA IV - Still unimpressed 2008-05-22 22:18:36 Gang, I am just tired of GTA IV. I am not trying to play Devil’s Advocate. I am not trying to be different. I am not purposely trying to whine. I am just plain tired of this damn game. Frankly, it is overrated.You know what I dread most? Screwing up a mission and having to restart and drive all the way back to that damn mission location. Talk about tedious. You know how many times I had to liste

Final Fantasy Ring of Fates 2008-05-20 19:43:50 Let me start off by saying, I am a huge Final
Fantasy fan. I've played a vast majority of the games that Square Enix has thrown my way. I am very happy to see some of the older games being re-released on the Nintendo DS. I thought the DS version of FF III was very well done. FF Ring of Fates had a very similar look to it, so I thought I was in for more fun...instead, I flushed 30 dollars down the Read more:Final Fantasy
The Human Video Game.. 2008-05-20 18:40:43 I stumbled across a long lost gem today. "The Human Video Game
" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I remember when I first heard this song and the joy it made me feel. I couldn't believe that there was another human being who loved video games as much as I. Let alone actually had the cojones to make a song about it. Like a back alley documentary this song confesses Will Smith's physical depen
Stealthcon's Mom Gets Jacked: GTA Style!! 2008-05-20 08:48:00 You heard it right!! My mommy dearest, the one and only StealthMom, was recently the victim of a jacking!! Some crotch-flea couldn't resist the temptation of jacking my moms whip. And what might you ask does StealthMom drive? A Mercedes, NO! A BMW, NO! It must be a something worth the 3-5 yr. jail bid that accompanies such a triumph...NO! StealthMom drives, excuse me drove, a beat-up, off-blue, 4 Read more:Style
Making the Grade: Death Cab for Cutie 2008-05-19 19:55:12 Ok. So I know this is a site dedicated to those who were reared (ewww) during the Nintendo era. However, I have to take time to review the latest, dare I say, opus, Narrow Stairs by Death Cab For Cutie. I admit, I wasn't raised on DCFC and had never even heard of them until recently. On my way home from my straight 8 (ref. 8 hr. work day for those who don't get it), I decided to stray from my usua Read more:Grade
Deeper into the rabbit hole that is GTA IV. 2008-05-12 23:01:07 Every major gaming review site/show had that perfect 5 or 10 to give GTA IV the day it came out. Obviously GTA IV has a lot of content, and to jump the gun so quickly with only 2-5 hours to play the game and give it a perfect score is kind of funny.Yes, GTA IV is an amazing game, but it takes time to truly appreciate all the fine details the game has to offer. Here at LXG, we thought it was fair t
American Gladiators - The Second Season 2008-05-12 22:59:06 Here at LXG headquarters, we like to promote the gaming lifestyle. The gaming lifestyle is more than just playing video games; it is about the type of people who call themselves gamers and what us as gamers like to do outside of video games.The golden age of gaming (as us old farts who grew up with Nintendo and Sega called it) reminds me of aspects of life outside the video games.

Another 1st impression of GTA IV. 2008-05-05 21:36:13 I remember when I first played GTA III. I ran around and just explored everything....it was such a new experience. I was blown away by the size of it (Insert joke here). Whenever you play a game like GTA, one always wonders how much better the sequel is going to be. GTA has made a lot of advances over the years....mostly little things, outfits, mini games, riding a bicycle like a true gangster etc
Army of Two 2008-05-05 21:34:15 I love co-op shooters. Having a friend to play through a game with you is always a blast....unless that person sucks terribly, then it turns into one long baby sitting ordeal. Putting that aside, I was really looking forward to playing Army of Two.My first impression of the game was that it looked good, had some interesting concepts (co-op snipe, switching weapons with your partner), but it felt v
Games of Yore #2: Populous. 2008-05-05 21:30:25 When I was a wee lad, I had visions of grandeur, including ruling over a kingdom of minions that would do all of my bidding. My curfew, lack of a vehicle, and my age prevented me from fulfilling my ultimate destiny. Thankfully, my parents bought me a game in hopes I would learn to be a world leader one day.The truth is, my parents bought me the game because I liked strategy games. I wanted to be Read more:Games

Reviews 2008-04-28 17:27:36 You will soon see game reviews on this here blog. There is a bit of a caveat. Team LXG is in their late 20’s to early 30’s. We all grew up with video games as one of our favorite hobbies. You could call us the Nintendo generation.The reviews you will read are humorous, sarcastic, and brutally honest. Just because we see a game with the name Mario attached to it, doesn’t mean we will give it
Game Review: Super Smash Brothers Brawl (SSBB) 2008-06-03 23:13:13 I am a SmashBrothers
virgin. As a matter of fact, I don’t even know who the hell the Smash Brothers are. They sound like a local asphalt or demolition company.

The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass Review. 2008-06-03 22:16:18 Let me start by saying this game is incredible. It is a wonderful thing to have a great Zelda
game in your pocket. This game looks almost as good as the gamecube game on which it's based.A lot of people pissed and moaned about a cartoony Link when the Wind Waker came out. Yeah it was a little weird, but it still felt right. (Nobody likes you)PhantomHourglass
is no exception. All the great thing Read more:Legend
Usher: Here I stand Review 2008-06-03 20:43:39 Ok, so I've never really been a big Usher
fan. I've always let the fanfare reign supreme with the chicks. Being a complete heterosexual however I do understand Usher's appeal. Young, well-groomed, non-threatening, and oh yeah rich. I was a big fan of his previous work, Confessions, were he came clean like a virgin school girl. Confessions was very identifiable for me as I was going through a ne

These are just regular reviews from a 30 year old gamer from the golden age of gaming.I was re-reading the blog and realized we have a lot more entries criticizing games than we do praising games.
