This is awesome
Anyone can cosplay Frank West, but it takes a real fan to dress up like the Frank West we all actually played as.

Another reviewer
If you hadn't checked the Affiliates/cool pages part of the site, Sega Denisis/FargasCorp is now doing reviews as well. You can go straight to his page and check them out or when you get to the bottom of a review and it says Fargascorp, you've read one of the many he will have to offer.
But it doesn't end there!
One of the poster reviewers from the other cool place to go. Will be doing some reviews soon as well.
If you or anyone else is interested in reviewing games for the site, just leave a comment on this post.

So i should have a lot of new reviews up soon. So keep checking back.
And remember, if you have any certain requests don't hesitate to ask, and if i don't have the game i'll do my best to get it and get the review done as quick as possible.

reposted from GameSpot
[UPDATE] GameSpot testing suggests facial recognition features of motion-sensing camera system might not work properly for some gamers; Microsoft says lighting levels to blame.
Source: In testing the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees had problems getting the system's facial recognition features to work.
What we heard: Part of Microsoft's $500 million marketing push for Kinect includes positioning it as an accessible entertainment device for all audiences. However, it may be more accessible to some than others.
While testing out the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees experienced problems with the system's facial recognition abilities. The system recognized one employee inconsistently, while it was never able to properly identify the other despite repeated calibration attempts. However, Kinect had no problems identifying a third dark-skinned GameSpot employee, recognizing his face after a single calibration. Lighter-skinned employees were also consistently picked up on the first try.
It's important to note that the problems were only experienced with the system's facial recognition feature and don't prevent users from playing Kinect games. Skeletal tracking, a primary means of controlling games with Kinect, appeared to work the same for all GameSpot employees.
The system's inability to recognize a user only means that he or she would need to sign in manually and some games' features may not work properly as a result. For example, when a second player joins in to Kinect Adventures during the title's drop-in, drop-out multiplayer, the system can't bring up that player's proper in-game avatar automatically if it can't identify the new user first.
If Kinect does have some technical issues related to users' pigmentation, it wouldn't be a first for recognition technology. Last holiday season, users of Hewlett-Packard computers with built-in webcams reported problems with a face-tracking feature.
HP blamed the problem on the webcam's technology, "standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose." It said the system could have problems "seeing" that contrast if there is insufficient foreground lighting.
[UPDATE 11/4] GameSpot continued its testing of Kinect today with more users in different rooms and different clothing. At first, the two employees who originally would not be recognized by the camera were correctly identified on the first try. However, when one changed from a light blue shirt to a black shirt (but stayed in the same room with the same lighting), the camera again failed to recognize him after multiple calibration tests. It also failed to recognize another darker-skinned GameSpot employee after four calibration attempts.
Somehow, those issues may not completely undermine the camera's ability to use facial recognition features. Despite the Xbox 360's insistence that it could not recognize some of the GameSpot employees immediately after calibration, the system was able to recognize them and sign them in properly when they waved at the camera, regardless of their clothing.
The official story: "The goal of Kinect is to break down the barriers for everyone to play, and it will work with people of all shapes and ethnicities at launch."--A Microsoft representative, who added that Kinect owners having calibration or recognition problems can call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX.
[UPDATE 2]: After the additional testing, Microsoft provided further comment, saying, "Kinect works with people of all skin tones. And just like a camera, optimal lighting is best. Anyone experiencing issues with facial recognition should adjust their lighting settings, as instructed in the Kinect Tuner."
Bogus or not bogus: Not bogus that Kinect has problems identifying some users. Abstain on how widespread those problems are, or whether they're due to skin color at all. With the system launching tonight and Microsoft expecting to sell 5 million by year's end, it shouldn't be long before the scope and cause of such problems are identified

the November xb360 update for Kinect
First of all, i'd like to thank microsoft for following the band wagon of the motion controls that have worked out so well for the getting closer and closer to bankruptcy PS3. (Yes nerds i know that sony won't go bankrupt, but the system is a piece of festering dog shit in my neighbors back yard.) If the system was worthy of play time, other than blu ray movies, I WOULD JUMP FOR JOY! But no, the game has less than 10 games that are worth playing and i've played them all. And nothing that looks good is coming out because all their titles get shoved back and shoved back.
and yes i understand that it has plenty of good titles, (that are also on the 360) but their online is garbage and i'm not wasting my time when i can play the game on xbox and actually enjoy it online.
The only joy online on PS3 is everybody sucks, and you get a boost of joy from shitting on "NOOBS" . But nerdome really isn't something we all need to strive for.
Here is the list of things that were worth playing.
Demon souls = Great
Disgaea 3 = Great
Little big planet = awesome
Heavenly Sword = wasn't worth 30 bucks but was alright
GOD OF WAR collection = I already played these games
GOD OF WAR 3 = I already played this game twice before, but i sure am glad that it got more ridiculous........but it was good
Katamari Forever = Best game i've played on the system, but it was just a souped up version of Beautiful Katamari from xbox
then there are all the downloadable ps1 titles i still own. I'm not paying 5-20 dollars for a game i have, but i understand if you do
Other than that. there's nothing that applies to me that i haven't already played on xbox. ( you know... last year)
but! i went off on a rant that has nothing to do with this update, other than Kinect....
WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE BRIGHTNESS!?!
It's the middle of the day. I am fully awake which is rare. and it's like i'm looking directly into bright lights on a back road and i'm half asleep in the middle of the night.
and guess what? The damned boxes are still bright as fuck.
PLEASE! Microsoft update this shit so it's not burning an image of my tv in my retinas, because i don't want to look at the free download background of night.. i want my KOF background back.. but i don't want it to set my house on fire.
thank you.
p.s. thank you for letting me finally see an entire list of the games i've completed, gamerscore-wise. That pissed me off for as long as the system has been out. It's not that important, but i still like to look at the short list and be proud.
This is gonna be quite a journey
