Default Prime writer Kyree Leary has recently been thinking about bosses in video games. Specifically, how many of them cause him to not finish the game. From Final Fantasy to Shank, Kyree goes on a rant about his problem with some of their bosses.
"Ask yourself, if you will; what is a game?
I suppose you could see the question from any number of angles, any number of interpretations. You could view it mechanically – a typical game involves an actor, maybe several, multiple mechanics, parameters. You could take each individual aspect of a game and put a magnifying glass to it. Or you could take it at its most literal definition; something to be played."
"When it comes to the marketing side of things, box art has played almost as big a part of game sales as the design and programming of the titles themselves. In the early days of the industry, it wasn't uncommon for games to have imagery that conveyed completely unrealistic ideas of what the gameplay was actually like."
Online retailer, The Square Enix Shop, has revealed several new details and images for their upcoming Cyborg Ninja (based on his appearance from Metal Gear Solid, which is now available on the Playstation Store for the PS3 and PSP) Play Arts Kai action figure.

Ever since the early console games, bosses have been a staple of video gaming. However, there's always at least one that really makes you scratch your head and wonder what's wrong with the sucker.
Amazon.com is offering a 25% discount on the pre-order of the upcoming Wipeout 2048 on the PS Vita. The futuristic racing game will feature cross-platform multiplayer with Wiepout HD Fury on the PlayStation 3.
"GamingUnion: "Today is the 15th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII’s Japanese launch, but I want to know, will we ever see this classic title remade? By far, 1997′s Final Fantasy VII is Square-Enix’s most recognized and most popular game; the title helped catapult the PlayStation, the role-playing game (RPG) genre, and Square-Enix (which was then “Squaresoft,” one half of today’s whole) into mainstream relevance in North America. The game still commands a good deal of praise and nostalgia from ..."
Listed are my top 5 fighting classics I was able to think up in 5 minutes. In no specific order I sat down for a long 5 minutes that seemed more like 7 minutes and thought hard and quick and this is what transpired, it’s also interesting to see what games I forget about while the clock was ticking.
"Much like the classic rock station I catch myself listening to on a daily basis, I feel that Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is still a healthy part of my gaming diet. Sure, the more modern day games in the series are akin to Guns N' Roses’ Chinese Democracy, but I still enjoy the titles that are the video game equivalent of GnR’s pre-Axl Rose weight gain."
Amazon's Top 5 Vita pre-orders. These titles will form the bulk of our initial experience with Sony's upcoming handlheld, according to the online retail giant.
Bad voice acting can sometimes ruin the experience, but these ten games overcome awful voice acting by somehow managing to still be good despite the terrible voice performances.
"GamingUnion: "Although they haven't produced bucket loads of original IPs in their lifetime, Naughty Dog has still become a staple brand within the game industry. The IPs they've created have offered gamers the very best in terms of creativity and graphics and you'll be pushed to find someone who will disagree. With Crash Bandicoot, Jax and Daxter, and, of course, the Uncharted series under their belt, many would say Naughty Dog has got it made. In honor of the recent announcement of the Last..."
"In order to make some of the people happy, this new gallery is centered around Lilith from the popular DarkStalkers series of Capcom fighters. You might remember another character from that series which got her own gallery too. This isn't about Morrigan though. She had her time in the sun. Do vamps hangout in the sun?"
Several new images have been revealed by Hideo Kojima featuring a new mock up for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid’s Meryl Silverburgh Play Arts Kai action figure from Square Enix.
Doom was re-added to the Xbox Live Arcade Marketplace today after some licensing issues after changing publishers led to its removal several months ago.
Gaming has hit a bit of a slump in terms of design and innovation. Endless sequels plague the release calendar, and will kill the industry. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened, but I welcome the fallout and eventual recovery that will come.
"One of the big themes of gaming recently is morality. It was squeezed into all sorts of places, but tended to force the player into a pure good or pure evil playthrough of a game, as the strict dichotomy setup between the two didn’t accommodate for the foggier choices people tend to be forced into making in real life. I find the idea an excellent one, though. A game where my decisions affect the world around me in some way inevitably draws me deeper into the narrative as I make the character ..."
RealGamerNewz member Deon Lofton presents an interesting discussion point about the validity of the argument that graphics make a game superior. With his open-minded way of seeing things he finds himself conflicted between the high-end visuals we see today and the pure gameplay design of the past.

Daav from NoobFeed.com finally takes the plunge into the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. Unfortunately, Persona 2 isn't the triumphant trailblazer today it was a decade ago. Still, tons of content and a few key aspects save it from failure, but it's a long and arduous task to the end.
The game industry can be a lot of fighting back and forth. So time to time when there is something to LOL about its worth sharing.
