Hello again, all my friends here at TGV.
I’m happy to announce that on YouTube I have reached 2000 subscribers! I wanted to say a little something special to all of you and let you know of some fun new things going on for the EMU Review! I also have a little extra treat at the end of the episode. Something else that I do, related to Audio and music. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Hey, folks, and welcome to the very first edition of Techie Vault! In this new feature, we here at The Gaming Vault will be bringing you hardware and software-related news that will benefit you in your daily gaming life.
For our very first Techie Vault ever, we’re bringing you one of the best user-created interfaces ever brought about: PS3 Media Server.
Nerd culture is a wonderful thing, especially when songs are being made about comics, animation and video games. From Kirby Krackle to Johnathan Coulton, there’s a vast array of game related music to be found. And here’s one of them.
Dan Bull, “The king of British geek rap”, relates his life in gaming through the medium of song. Rap to be more specific. There’s a lot of delicious nostalgia, as well as two decades of gaming packed into four minutes. He’s a damned good rapper too!
Enjoy
Hello friends. Today I am attending a class where I will be making a speech! However, I made a little mistake as I made a wrong turn and ended up in a class dedicated in helping reckless drivers drive safely!
I don’t know why everyone has a problem with crashing, I learned how to drive early on by playing Destruction Derby for PlayStation 1! I got all my crashing out of the way early with this game.
Enjoy the review!
Meet DeathSpank: Hero of the Downtrodden, Dispenser of Justice and Vanquisher of Evil! Not to mention a few sticks short of a bundle. In an adventure both familiar and surreal, the titular hero sets out in search of “The Artifact”, an item both strange and mysterious, its power only outmatched by its mystery. Too bad no one really knows what it is. Not even DeathSpank. He only knows it’s his destiny to have it.
Kyle here, and welcome to another edition of The Music Vault.
It’s been a long time since we had one of these, thanks to life and all that, but we’re back with something incredibly special and exclusive to The Gaming Vault.
At the beginning of March, we took a look at some of the incredible artists and their similarly incredible songs available on recently (at the time) released Rock Band Network from Harmonix. However, the look in and companioned recommendations were mostly based on personal taste and high profile artists with renowned longevity, skill and incredible talent. The likes of Steve Vai and KMFDM were among the gloriously mentioned for their musical tendrils have been outstretched to the world for many, many years and with good reason—they’re excellent.
A few of us here at The Gaming Vault have a deep-rooted passion for music. Myself, a musician, love having the chance to talk with other musically-inclined individuals with a drive to release their innermost passions as delicately-crafted, soulful and melodic entreaties to the world.
We were humbly approached by a few of these fine people associated with the Network who were scanning the feeds for real articles relating to Harmonix’s latest opus instead of repost after repost of the press release.
I was afforded the opportunity to talk to a few of these fine individuals and get a feel for what drives them to this impassioned art form.
I first spoke with Raziel Panic and John O’Leary of Boston-based band You Shriek.
To quote our editor and admin Michael O’Connor: We’re living in a gaming renaissance. No longer are gamers thought of as hopeless shut-ins without jobs and social-lives, now that video games have been brought into the open market due to the advent of casual games that can be picked up and played by anyone.
Yet at the same time, in this time of gaming moving forward and becoming mainstream, I’m seeing an increased focus on moving backwards.
We’re live at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 covering all the breaking news and all the exciting developments – and we’re Live today at the EA E3 2010 Press Conference where the folks from EA will be showing off their top games for late 2010 and early 2011.

Street Fighter IV single-handedly revived the fighting genre for me, and I’ve been spending a pretty great deal of time trying to get better at the game. When Super Street Fighter IV arrived I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to review the gold standard for hardcore fighting fans everywhere – the Mad Catz Tournament Edition FightStick.
The FightStick I got my hands on was the Super Street Fighter IV branded Tournament Edition S, which takes all the best things about the original Street Fighter IV TE FightStick and crams them into a smaller, more compact case – thus the S in the name.
They are rough, they are tough, they will kick your face in… These toads are THE BIGGEST BADDEST creatures you’ll ever encounter! When Rare decided to come out with this knock off “Ninja Turtles” style game I don’t think they knew how much of an impact they were about to make. The first for its time, combining a side scrolling beat em up, action, and platformer all in one!
I am Jason Heine, this is the Emulator Review, and we are diving into “Battletoads” for many different platforms, enjoy!
YouTube user WhereDaBootz has stumbled upon something truly amazing. As it turns out, in Red Dead Redemption, there are several instances in the game where you’ll stumble upon the most bizarre creatures that I don’t recall ever being a part of the Wild West.
Sadly, some of these strange creatures were too elusive to catch on camera. Read the description of one of these creatures that got away.
I’d like to point out that roughly 20 minutes after this, we saw a jack rabbit driving a coach.
When I began stealing it, he started yelling at me in spanish as I gripped his entire bunny body and threw him from the seat.
He told the sheriff.
Welcome to The Gaming Vault of Fame, where we take a look at some of the accomplishments of the video game world’s lesser known heroes. You know the ones I mean: those who rarely hog the spotlight for themselves, merely pleased with starring in a few games and then fading into obscurity.
This series of articles will be to honour those heroes. Last month we examined Luigi, one of gaming’s most famous second fiddles. Today we’ll be looking at a hero who’s also become something of a second fiddle, in the series he used to star in no less: Rayman.
Hello friends, Jason Heine here! Thanks for joining me once again for another Instalment of The Emulator Review!
Today I decided to take a road trip… Even though the weather was horrible outside and I had some annoying company at times, I still made room for an alternative route! Please join me on this road trip down memory lane with “Cruis’n USA”!
This is both a review for the Arcade version, and the Nintendo 64 port released by Williams in 1996. The video footage is of the 64 port due to it having the most problems. Enjoy the show!
Back in the 90’s I wasn’t much of an After Burner guy – I was always more into Hang On and Space Harrier – but part of that was because I never owned a home conversion of the After Burner games – they were always something I played, loved, but could never get good at.
Following on from the success of OutRun Online Arcade, After Burner Climax takes the classic formula of that SEGA arcade hit and puts it in beautiful high definition, 3D graphics. You take control of a fighter jet as it flies through a variety of different settings at horrifying speeds, from city skies to perilous mountainous regions and even deep in the heart of the enemy base.
OutRun and After Burner share that in common, as they both sport branching paths and simplistic transitions between areas that have wildly differing art styles. There are fewer branches in the levels here, but the presentation is the same, and still works as well in 2010 as it did back in the day. Read the rest of this entry »
