| GH web pick: TestFreaks |
| 2008-09-03 07:15:25 |
While I was browsing the interwebs the other day I came across this sweet site that brings together tech, PC and console game reviews into one tight package. I know, there are a million of those around already (ahem..), but that’s where this site gets it’s coolness from: It’s called TestFreaks.com and they draw their [...]......

Wanna cosplay as master chief? Maybe you want a set of Mark IV MJOLNIR armor to make your own live action version of “The Trilogy”. Or maybe you’re just tired of the same old crap costumes and instead of another Halloween as Captain Jack Sparrow, this year you want to go partying as someone REALLY [...]......

| GH Review-Condemned 2: Bloodshot |
| 2008-08-06 21:43:29 |
I recently reviewed the original Condemned and though it had some technical issues it was a pretty great game. And as with all pretty great games the inevitable sequel has landed on store shelves. So being the mindless sequel munching drone that I am I picked up a copy to get back down to the [...]......

| Cheat Planet = cool cheat/FAQ resource |
| 2008-08-04 20:33:33 |
I play a lot of video games, natch, and since not all games (or gamers) are created equally I usually find it necessary to use various websites designed to give me a hand. I found a pretty good one the other day, it’s comprehensive and from what I’ve been able to discern, skips the bullcrap. [...]......

| So you wanna be a tester… |
| 2008-07-04 22:56:21 |
For as long as I can remember I have been critical about my games. We all are right? I mean come on, how many times have you played a crappy game and thought to yourself “C’mon, I could have made a better game than this!”? We’ve all been burned by a over-hyped game that fails [...]......

| GH Review: Condemned: Criminal Origins |
| 2008-06-27 09:32:01 |
I know this one came out about two years ago but I just got around to playing it this week and so here is my shiny new review of a slightly old game. Condemned: Criminal Origins is a first-person shooter/ survival-horror/ action title from Monolith studios. Though it might sound like a bit of a [...]......

I know I promised a comprehensive, bi-weekly update of BSG this season, but I’ve been both really busy AND really lazy so I’ve decided to just do one big half-season wrapup and be done with it. So until that’s finished, I give you a new reveiw to view. A nice cheap 360 title to keep [...]......

| GH Review- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare |
| 2008-05-09 16:41:43 |
This is the best first person shooter on the market today. I know I’m not making any friends with the Halo crowd here but I’m sticking to my guns on this one (sorry). This is one of those rare titles that not only lives up to the hype surrounding it but far surpasses my expectations. [...]......

Episode 4.01-”He That Believeth in Me”
Starbuck’s back! It’s true, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace is back, seemingly from the dead and with pictures of Earth and a new Viper to boot! However with no recollection of the more than two months that have passed since her “death” she falls under suspicion from nearly everyone. This had to [...]......

| 2008-04-05 19:45:59 |
YES! The long-awaited return of the most awesome of sci-fi shows hit the airwaves last night on SciFi and boy oh boy let me tell you, it was frakkin’ sweet! I know you already know about last season’s big deals what with Starbuck’s “death” and return claiming to have been to Earth and whatnot; not [...]......

| Review: Bringin’ Down the Sky |
| 2008-03-28 00:01:06 |
A few weeks ago BioWare released the first of what will hopefully be many downloadable content packs for Mass Effect, the amazing sci-fi RPG on the 360. Awesome. So I thought I’d go ahead and put my two cents in on this one since Mass Effect is one of my current-gen faves. The short description [...]......

| Finding A Good Web Host |
| 2008-03-27 18:55:03 |
If you tried to access Gamer Hero yesterday and got nothing, we apologize. Apparently, my web host - even with my recent upgrade to a dedicated server - can’t handle even 25k hits in one day. Weak. But yeah, I figure that now’s as good a time as any to continue our miniseries on starting [...]......

| Review: Halo 3 |
| 2008-03-26 00:04:11 |
Halo 3 - everyone knows about this game already right? Well that’s OK, because I’m going to review it anyway. I know I’m not going to make any new friends by saying this, but I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. I know it’s probably just a result of year’s worth of hype and [...]......

Hey y’all, Zee here. So this post is kind of a departure from our usual all gaming, all the time programming, but I’ve been getting enough e-mails asking “how do I do what you guys are doing?” that I figured it was time to make a few how-to posts about starting your own blog. So [...]......

| Review: The Simpson’s Game |
| 2008-03-12 11:24:43 |
Ok so everyone knows that most movie or TV based games suck serious wind right? Right and as a rule that still holds pretty true even in today’s next-gen gaming world. So why even bother reviewing The Simpson’s Game at all? Because it’s one of the few (very few) TV licensed games that DOESN’T suck, [...]......

| Two many games this week! |
| 2008-03-05 23:39:59 |
The gaming is getting heavy around here at the Gamer Hero homestead, I’ve upgraded my GameFly account to three games out at a time and I bought Saint’s Row. Plus there’s the little game dropping this week, today in fact, called Army Of Two, all of this is creating a bit of creative backup in [...]......

| BioShock GH Review |
| 2008-02-21 09:47:18 |
Oh man, where did the idea for this game come from? I mean this is one dark and creepy em-effer of a game. 2K studios really out did themselves on this one. I’ve only had a working Xbox 360 for a few months but I’ve played a pretty good variety of games in that time [...]......

| Renting games from GameFly |
| 2008-02-13 13:18:01 |
Remember the good old days when games cost around 30 bucks new and like 2 bucks to rent? Well I’m sorry to say that those days are looong behind us. Now we as gamers have to deal with skyrocketing console costs and unreasonably priced software and peripherals. The market for used games has gone through [...]......

360Voice. I was turned on to this site by one of the guys on the GH Forums and at first I didn’t think much of it. Then I registered my Xbox live gamertag (well TootieCarparts did) and a few days later I had a personalized blog from my 360’s perspective. Weird huh? I thought so [...]......

| Xbox Live: Getting hooked up |

So yesterday I finally jumped on the bandwagon and joined Xbox Live. I know that just about everyone who has a 360 has already signed up and are probably online killing each other as you read this. But there has to be a silent minority of folks who, like me, for whatever reason still haven’t [...]......

Think playing video games is little more than a great way to waste time? Then you haven’t met Paxton Galvanek. Last November, the twenty-eight year-old helped rescue two victims from an overturned SUV on the shoulder of a North Carolina interstate. As the first one on the scene, Galvanek safely removed both individuals from the [...]......

Since I have only recently had a working 360 I am doing some catch-up with games I’ve played. Here I give you Mass Effect, to me this is truly a step in the right direction towards a truly immersive gaming experience. I think the majority or RPG and TPS fans will be very pleased with [...]......

Hey, this is Zee. You can usually find me over at Gamer Fetish, but today I’m here to write a very special guest review - about Spiderman: Friend Or Foe. I played the Xbox 360 version, for reference.
I really loved Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse, so I had high [...]......

Yes, you read that right. It’s really true; I signed up at Goozex Video Game Trading and within a week received a copy of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance for my GameCube. The game was in great condition and I didn’t have to pay a cent. Since then, I’ve become positively addicted to Goozex’s amazing trading [...]......

| Twilight Heroes Wiki Issues |
| 2007-11-26 12:33:08 |
So the Twilight Heroes wiki that was my source of knowledge on the game has ceased to be. I guess the wiki lost it’s server/host and the redirect page it goes to when you try to go there doesn’t actually redirect you to anywhere, bummer I know. But all hope is not lost! Some industrious [...]......

| Kingdom of Loathing Review |
| 2007-11-20 13:39:13 |
The Kingdom of Loathing is a browser-based RPG from Asymmetric Publications.
This type of game has no system or graphics requirements and has no subscription fees. The characters, enemies and locations are all hand-drawn stick figures and the storytelling’s humor borders on the ridiculous. All those elements combine to make a very fun and addictive gaming [...]......
