Game Rant Might Appeal to Racket Boys!

[IMJ]

The new Game Rant website has gone live and I thought it would interest many of the people here. Think IGN, but with more of a cult following, classic flavor and no BS reporting.

There's also a cool article coming up soon with a look at the state of the blue bomber, and room for discussion regarding that underneath each story.

Yeah, I checked out their site. It's pretty good, they had some articles I liked reading. I don't really like their forum setup, but oh well. I suppose I'll keep checking them out.

IMJ, you affiliated with them?

Thanks for looking! I'm a regular columnist there. It was actually the Mega Man article that's on the homepage at the moment that I thought might interest a lot of people here, and create some convo there about that character as well. Hope you guys check it out and migrate back and forth there a bit.

So I assume that's you in the staff page at the very bottom then, eh?

Nope... haven't uploaded my staff profile yet. Now that you mention it though, i suppose I should get to that, along with a funny bio pic.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry, it was just the same first name, so I assumed.

Not a problem, ack!

Liked that Mega Man article, I do think the Blue Bomber is stagnating. I wasn't that enthusiastic about MM 9 when news came out about it. I just didn't get what the big deal was. It was just a copy of the last eight games and actually can be viewed as a step backwards in every way from graphics, music AND gameplay when put up against MM 7, MM 8 and much of the MMX series.

A lot of people want to burn you at the cross for mentioning MM in 3d, but it's the only way the Blue Bomber can stay relevant, but the MM Legends series didn't knock anyone's socks off so they need to try again. Though I'd prefer they returned to the MMX series if we got an awesome, up to date, modernized Mega Man game. That series is faster, more stylized and slightly more diverse in its gameplay than the "classic" series.

I'm glad you liked the article! Great comments here too... you should mention those things in the discussion about this at Game Rant!
