Personal Speculation on WWE (2K)14:

Posted 02-16-2013 at 11:04 AM by CarryTheWeight
Now that we found out that Yuke's plans to return to helm this coming year's WWE title, what do you think may happen? Here are my ideas:

WCW/Monday Night Wars story mode
This may be a good point of continuation for this series, as you can bring in a few more Attitude Era related matches and wrestlers WHILE focusing more on the WCW end of the Monday Night Wars. Wouldn't it be awesome to play as the original nWo? Win the WCW World Heavyweight Title with Luger in early 97 and...

The Sad State of Olympic Video Games

Another Olympics, another mediocre Olympic video game. Eurocom has been developing the official Olympic titles for years and every year it's been disappointing. Sure, the great Mario vs. Sonic titles are on the market, but they're an overexaggeration of the games, not to mention filled with fictional anthropomorphic characters.

So, here's what I'm suggesting: we need a legitimate sports game developer to take the reigns of Olympic video games. No olympic title, to my knowledge, has...

MASS EFFECT 2: An Instant Classic?

I have been playing Mass Effect 2 on and off since its release a week ago and it has simply blown me away. No game has emotionally involved me in its plot as much as ME2 has, and it proves just how much love and care BioWare puts into their in-game universes. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say it's the best BioWare RPG yet (although I haven't played Dragon Age Origins yet, so I'll temporarily take the previous statement back).

In my eyes, it's far more than a GOTY candidate. It's...

Am I a Fan of Mediocrity?

The Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Sabres. The Toronto Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors and Toronto FC. The NHL 2K series. For years I've been putting hard-earned cash and faith into all of the above. But for the same amount of time, I've been let down and disappointed.

Am I a Fan of Mediocrity?

We all know it's much harder to love a team (or video game in the case of NHL 2K) when they don't do all the things the fanbase expects them to. But after living in Buffalo for most...
