I don’t own a PS3 so naturally I’ve never played Rainbow Moon before. I have encountered a few reviews of the game in my travels across the wide expanse of the internet and all of them made me want to play it. Since I now own a Vita, I have the opportunity to give it a shot. I’ve played the portable...
Opinionated: Why I’m excited for Toukiden
I’m a Monster Hunter guy. I realize some gamers out there hate the genre, but I’m not one of them. Recently, I downloaded the Toukiden demo from PSN to my PS Vita. I’ve been jonesing for a Monster Hunter style game for a while, and Soul Sacrifice doesn’t really scratch that itch. Soul Sacrifice is a fantastic game in its...
Back from the dead
Hello everyone. The web host for Vulgamer migrated to a new set of servers and it screwed up the database install for the site, mainly because of the plugins being used. Not that you need to know any of that crap, but because of it I was not able to login to the backend of the site which also meant...
Vulgamification [Starbound]: Take the world of Terraria, and multiply it by a bajillion
I’ve logged a lot of hours into Minecraft, Total Miner, Castle Miner Z, Terraria and more. I love sandbox, world-building games and I own Minecraft and Terraria for multiple platforms. I’m not trying to brag about how many games I own here, just trying to point out that I’m no stranger to the genre. That’s why I was truly surprised...
Just Cause 2 now supports multiplayer [mod]?
Every once in a while something truly epic comes along and flies under the radar. Just days ago, something like that happened and it blew my mind. I can’t remember how many times I had this thought while playing Just Cause 2: “It would be so awesome if this had multiplayer like GTA.” Well, thanks to some pretty awesome devs...
Opinionated: Sony should team up with the CFW scene
Since I purchased my PS Vita, one of the games I’ve constantly had the desire to play is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. If you’ve read any of my other posts then you already know I’m a huge MH fan. The problem is, my UMD copy of MHP3 is not compatible with my Vita. Even if it was, there is no...
Here’s a PS Vita, now give it back or we’re going to tell the authorities
The title to this post probably doesn’t make much sense, but neither does the situation it describes. Due to an “error in [their] warehouse” online retailer Zavvi sent a bunch of customers the PS Vita Tearaway bundle who had in fact only purchased the game. In other words, customers paid about $40 (give or take) for the PS Vita game...
Opinionated: How the Vita saved gaming [for me, duh]
Touch controls are the fucking worst. I don’t care what mechanics a game has, if the controls utilize touch for movement, aiming or any combination of the two I hate it. I’m on the development team of Tales of Illyria, a choose-your-own-adventure/oregon-trail style RPG for Android. Why am I touting that? Our game doesn’t use touch controls for movement. We...
Briley’s Weekend Haunts [December 7-8]
It’s been a couple months since I did one of these, because to be honest I haven’t been playing games much lately. For October I have no real excuse, but November is my birthmonth so I was busy. Just accept that and get the fuck over it. This weekend, I’ll be playing a bunch of Vita games because I just...
Opinionated: Why I’m okay with being an anti-social gamer
I do enjoy playing games with others, most importantly family. My little brother and I are separated by an ocean as he’s currently stationed in Aviano, Italy. That means when we get a chance to play games together I dive right in. That being said, I’m definitely an anti-social gamer. I prefer to spend a majority of my time plowing...
You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine
I’m always droning on about how I’ve played this game or that game, but I figured it was time I show some cred. Please keep in mind this does not represent my complete game library as some of the stats offered here aren’t even close to comprehensive. For example, I cannot show you how many toons I’ve leveled across multiple...
The Humble Jumbo Bundle is probably worth it
Who gives a shit if the games included are indie or not? That argument has been pointless for a while now, especially since the scene many would call “indie” has changed. The true definition of an indie game is no longer what it once was. It’s mostly because we’re in a game bubble and shit has just blown out of...
