    There was a time when pretty much every movie tie-in game was just plain awful, but for some reason in the mobile gaming world there have been quite a few really good ones. Games like Temple Run Oz or Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots take an already proven formula for a game and weave the movie theme around it to make a natural fit. One of the newest movie tie-in games released is a joint venture between PikPok and Dreamworks Studios for the upcoming movie Turbo. The movie is about a snail named Turbo who dreams of being a race car driver, and following a freak accident involving a nitrous oxide…

    Hello and welcome to the (currently) bi-weekly Guild Wars 2 Riches blog post! Sorry for the lack in regular content guys, I'm moving house and working on a ton of other things at the minute. I want to make posts more regular again but first I have to find the time to play Guild Wars 2 so that I find the inspiration to write about it. Having said that, today's post draws on the work of others in the community. I'm not sure how many of you frequent the GW2 subreddit (it's worth bookmarking) but you can find some useful information there! I came across a post by ohsnaaap today dealing with…

  • Killzone: Mercenary shoots onto Vita on September 10

    17 May 2013 | 4:00 pm
    Vita-exclusive FPS Killzone: Mercenary has a new release date: September 10th, one week earlier than originally scheduled. (Perhaps this has something to do with the shift?) There's a pretty new trailer, but first, now that there's a solid release date, Sony must announce the requisite pre-order bonuses.Included with early copies of the game is "Blackjack's Briefcase," which grants access to 48 hours of double XP and an in-game cash bonus. "You'll have enough Vektan Cash to pick up a new weapon before you even step foot on the battlefield," the PlayStation.Blog teases.Here, take a look at the…

  • Trion Worlds hit with more layoffs, Defiance team impacted

    17 May 2013 | 3:15 pm
    Trion Worlds has undergone yet another round of layoffs, a new report confirms. This follows layoffs in December, which largely affected the Rift team. According to sources speaking to IGN, "mostly Defiance support staff and dev staff" and "teams that provide generic responsibilities and services" have been let go.It's unclear how many people were let go, but the report says that the bulk of the layoffs affect Trion's San Diego studio, where Defiance was developed.The company told IGN that the layoffs were "to best position Trion in a rapidly changing industry" and that Defiance's "progress…

    The Vita edition of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault was supposed to launch alongside its PS3 sibling last November, but the platform-o-tower defense's port simply wasn't up to scratch. It'll finally launch next Tuesday, Insomniac Games announced today, but out right now is a new multiplayer map and mode for PS3.As promised, it includes a free copy of Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked in apology for the delay, and of course it's a cross-buy game so PS3 peeps automatically get it on Vita too.But wait, there's more! Insomniac explains that a new patch for the PS3 version out today adds a new…

  • Game & Wario was originally going to be pre-installed on Wii U

    17 May 2013 | 1:45 pm
    Game & Wario wasn't always meant to be a standalone game. The upcoming Wii U game was originally planned to be a small demo pre-installed on Nintendo's latest console. However, Nintendo's Goro Abe explained that trying to make an experience that would appeal to everyone ended up being too restrictive for the creative process, and led to the game spinning off into a full release."The original plan was that the game would come pre-installed on the Wii U console, so it wasn't actually conceived of as being part of the WarioWare series," Abe told Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in a new column.

However, you won't have to dread having to download dozens of gigabytes at once before you can start playing.Naughty Dog's creative director Neil Druckmann and The Last of Us game director Bruce Straley told Game Informer that once you've downloaded fifty percent of the game, you'll be able to start playing. It isn't quite the instant gratification promised by Sony for PS4, but it's not too…

    So I sat down today and watched events unfold in a galaxy far, far away. Subtleties aside, there were a few parallels I felt that the latest entry in the Star Trek franchise shared with Star Wars. And I’m not just talking about the director here. Star Trek: Into Darkness evoked memories of Star Wars and even the Indiana Jones trilogy (note: I left Kingdom of the Crystal Skull out for a reason). Full write-up here.

    PC Gamer has posted a preview of Eidos Montreal's upcoming stealth action game, Thief. Quote: Changing the bow is inching into more sensitive territory. Not because the bare aesthetic will be missed, but because the arrows it fires have always been Garrett’s principal way of interacting with his environment. Part of the original game’s non-lethal sidestep was that arrows were in the main not for killing – they were for snuffing out torches with water, covering noisy floors in deadening moss, and making sounds to distract guards. And so it will be again, the only changes to this…

Quote: With the release of Resident Evil Revelations just days away, I thought it'd be fun to run through some of the game's cooler aspects with a quick video. Specifically, I wanted to highlight the creepy corridors, the tension and the atmosphere, plus how Raid Mode balances the whole package with some grindy action goodness.

    In this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show, we make the best of an (arguably) "slow" week by discussing the issues revolving around this week's latest releases. For example, we dig into runner fatigue and Chillingo's brand image. We also talk about what kids are playing and why genres that our touch devices don't do so great tend to click with them. In addition to this, we dive into Trucker: Parking Simulator (don't laugh), Gravity Guy 2, Blitz Brigade and more.

    We know what you're thinking, but give Trucker: Parking Simulator [Free] a chance. Parking a massive truck with a stupid big trailer can be as rewarding as landing a video game airplane. It takes a lot of skill, a lot of understanding of how physics, momentum, and trajectory play into the perfect parking job. It's kinda surprising (and awesome), as Eli and I discovered today. This sim's a particularly hard sale because the titling is so awful, so we decided to do a little video of the game in action to show it off. In the below, Eli and I power through several levels, carefully avoiding all…

    Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, Free - Gameloft is offering up a couple of freebies this weekend on two games which have never been free before. First up is Gangstar Rio: City of Saints [Free], their take on the whole Grand Theft Auto open-world sandbox game. We reviewed Gangstar Rio when it released back in late 2011, and despite some typical Gameloft-isms like terrible voice work and a paper thin story, we thought it offered up a fairly robust open-world crime game experience. It's been pretty regularly updated too, adding in new content and most recently widescreen support for the iPhone 5.

Of most note, the update expands the cap to level 29 and allows you to pick up Agnes Skinner. Also, new buildings, including Sprawl-Mart have been added in addition to a new quest involving Agnes and new Springfield Park Entrance and Cobblestone Wall decorations. The Simpsons: Tapped Out, for the 12 of you or so who haven't seen it yet, is a free-to-play city simulation game that tasks you with building a new Springfield after the first one got blown up.

    The original soundtrack for Mega Man 5 is now available for $8.95 on Capcom's official shop; it's almost as if they planned its release to coincide with the debut of Mega Man 5 on the 3DS Virtual Console. What a weird coincidence! At 57 hot jams long, Mega Man 5's soundtrack was composed by Mari Yamaguchi, who was often credited mononymously (as "Mari") for her work at Capcom. She also composed the music for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and several of the songs on the Breath of Fire soundtrack, in addition to handling arrangement duties for the TurboGrafx-16 version of Street Fighter 2: Champion…

Starring Michael Fassbender, the movie concerns "a man who learns his ancestors were trained assassins after he is kidnapped by a secret org with ties to the Knights Templar, and sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts," according to a Variety report last year. We're guessing this release date means that Ubisoft is going to continue to ignore our repeated (and might we add, quite generous) offers to write the film as a reimagined version…

All that extra cash will be put towards buying ice cream, Oculus Rift compatibility and a developer commentary track, though the campaign's bonus earnings didn't extend far enough for the "supersecret free DLC" stretch goal to be funded. Among the Sleep is expected to launch on PC, OSX and Linux during the fourth quarter of this year, but intrigued…

As can be seen in the gallery, Jill and Chris both sport equally leggy nautical-themed outfits, while Keith channels his inner One Piece character as a shirtless sword-guy in hammer pants. Costumes are unlocked by playing through the game's Campaign and Raid modes, in addition to "other unlocking mechanisms" that Capcom is keeping a secret. We're just hoping Capcom eventually rides this train of thought all the…

  • 5 shooters we want to see at E3 2013

    Rick Moscatello
    18 May 2013 | 5:15 am
    For all the lack of story and simple gameplay, first person shooters (FPS) has taken up more of my computer time than any other genre. Things have come a long, long, way from early Doom, where you lucky enough to get a connection and you didn’t need to use a mouse to aim. Nowadays, a shooter always promises more graphics and more intense action, and every game says it’s better than the competitors. This is where E3 comes into play, as comparing one shooter to another is as easy as walking the distance between two booths. There are a handful I really want to see: Battlefield 4 What is it?

  • Dragon’s Lair is on Steam!

    Rick Moscatello
    17 May 2013 | 5:11 pm
    In an era where arcade game graphics were along the lines of Space Invaders or Asteroids (i.e., blocky, crude line drawings), games like Dragon's Lair were major quarter-eaters. I easily blew $50 trying to beat the dragon, or, more accurately, trying to navigate the castle only to be smacked down long before I made it to the actual lair. While this is a major arcade classic, it is so on graphics alone (that's a screen shot, and miles ahead of the the black-and-white games there were still common when Dragon's Lair came out). Game play is simple in principle. The knight, Dirk the Daring,…

    17 May 2013 | 3:38 pm
    In previous Madden NFL 25 videos, EA Sports showed new special moves allowing offensive players to Run Free. Players were understandably worried that this year’s game might favor the offense, since “Run Free” is a large part of the ad campaign. EA Sports wants us to know there will be plenty of options for defenders. They brought San Francisco 49′ers star linebacker NaVorro Bowman into the studio to talk defense. He doesn’t like when opposing players run free. The Hit Stick, for example, is still a thing in this…Continue reading EA talks special moves for Madden NFL 25…

    It has been revealed that the “Red Son” Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC will be made available to purchase next week. The DLC adds Soviet Russia themed costumes and missions and was originally given to those who pre-ordered the title at GameStop, EB Games and Game stores worldwide.

The series showed an alternate DC history in which Superman’s rocket lands in Ukraine farmland, resulting in Superman being brought up with Soviet…Continue…

    Eric Monacelli

    When pre-production started in earnest on The Last of Us there was a folder of music files featuring work by some of the preeminent musicians in video games, television, and film. These tracks held a sampling of the ideal musical quality, direction, and tone we wanted to have for the project. The Academy Award winning work of Gustavo Santaolalla appeared multiple times. Being that he had never composed for video games before the thought of getting him to work on The Last of Us seemed a bit farfetched. He was approached by our music group at Sony and, well, this video will tell you the full…

    Windows super-fan Paul Thurrott, who has a good track record for internal Microsoft rumors, is sharing information that he has heard as it pertains to the launch window and pricing of the new Xbox (which we are assuming will be called Xbox Reveal or Infinity, but is codenamed Durango.) First, the next Xbox will launch in early November 2013, and will cost $499 out of the gate. Alternatively, you'll be able to pay $299 for the console if you also pay a $10 monthly subscription fee. If this is true, then we imagine that this is where all of the hoopla over an "always-on" console is coming…

    mcleland writes "The BBC reports that Nintendo is now using the content ID match feature in YouTube to identify screencap videos of people playing their games. They then take over the advertising that appears with the video, and thus the ad revenue. Nintendo gets it all, and the creators of these videos (which are like extended fan-made commercials for the games) get nothing.

Many saw this as a way to cut out the second hand game market. EA has now decided to end this program 'partly because the players didn't like it.' Unfortunately this appears to only be for future released games, those previously released will still be subject to this feature. Activision and Ubisoft still use this form of content control, it will be interesting to see if they follow suit."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

    Japanese viewers of this week’s Nintendo Direct got about 15 minutes of extra content that was not in the European version, mainly focusing on two titles by Sega that will likely remain Japan-only. Introduced as Sega Direct, the live stream began with Nintendo’s cuddly Satoru Iwata forming an odd-couple presenting team with Sega’s somewhat frightening Toshihiro Nagoshi. (Or maybe it’s an affectation – he’s actually a pussycat in person.) The pair previously worked together on F-Zero for GameCube.

Each one an in-the-round performance with room for improvisation and that encourages audience participation. There’s a theatrical maxim that goes by the name of Chekov’s Gun, and what it boils down to is that if a rifle is hung on the wall of a set in the first act of a play, it must be taken down and fired in the second. It ties in to both efficient, lean design with no surplus…

The fourth character comes as a result of Lab Zero’s hugely successful IndieGoGo page, in which they reached every stretch goal but one. The $829,000 they did raise, however, was enough to develop four new characters for the 2D fighter. The three other characters in development are the jazz-inspired Big Band, the undead Squigly, and Cleopatra-esque Eliza. There is no announcement as to when Beowulf will be released, but we can expect Squigly sometime this summer,…

It was dark. It was gory. And it was awesome. So where in the world does Darksiders II stand when the original was so good? In short, it’s a good game in its own right. It just isn’t a good Darksiders game.

    Recently, an updated version of Atari Jaguar Emulator has been released for the Original Xbox Console by hcf on our Xbox-Scene forums.[QUOTE]Changes in the emulator core1) Full-screen playing, even in HD modes: Now you can play at full-screen, both with 480, 720p or 1080i.

    Kemuel Stewart
    15 May 2013 | 4:53 pm
    Electronic Arts have announced it’s plans to do away with its Online Pass program from this point forward–with the reason behind the move being “player response.” “Yes, we’re discontinuing Online Pass,” confirmed EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg, reports GamesBeat. “None of our new EA titles will include that feature.” “Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn’t respond to the format,” Reseburg continued. “We’ve listened to the…

  • Buy the Mega Man 5 OST and fend off the 'Blues'

    Tony Ponce
    18 May 2013 | 10:00 am
    After nearly a month since the last soundtrack release, Capcom has made available the Mega Man 5 OST to celebrate the classic platformer's arrival on the 3DS eShop. As with the MM4 OST, the album costs $8.95 and contains both the NES and PS1 Complete Works soundtracks, plus bonus arrangements by the in-house Capcom band Alph Lyla. Your mileage may vary, but Mega Man 5 is my least favorite of the NES installments. I found most levels too long and devoid of interesting stage hazards, while the music overall lacked pep. I also felt it lazy that the all four levels in each of the two castles…

  • Multiplayer comic-adventure The Yahwg draws near

    Jonathan Holmes
    18 May 2013 | 9:00 am
    One of the problems with most narrative-focused games is that after you've played through them once, most of the surprises are over. The Yawhg, the next game from Damian Sommer (Friendship in 4 Colors), looks to circumvent that issue. Teaming with illustrator Emily Carroll, Damian crafted a game that feels a lot like a classic D&D experience. You wont ever know exactly what you and your friends are up against, regardless of how many times you've played it.  The game is set for release on May 30th, though Damien and Emily are working to get advanced copies out to…

  • Doki-Doki Universe is more than just flying around on poo

    Hamza CTZ Aziz
    18 May 2013 | 7:00 am
    Doki-Doki Universe is a simple game to grasp but a hard one to describe at first. Basically, you play as a robot named QT377665 (or QT3 for short), who's just discovered that its entire line has become obsolete thanks to their lack of humanity. An alien named Alien Jeff then tasks you to help humans all across the galaxy in order to learn about humanity. Weird, but the concept makes sense once you realize that the creator of ToeJam & Earl, Greg Johnson, is behind this. Even more interesting is that a large portion of the game will be completely free for you to play on the PlayStation 3,…

I might be fat and chained to a computer during most of my waking hours these days, but once upon a time I was a cowboy on the ranches of Texas – spurs, chaps, and even a slightly bowlegged walk. Alas, this is no Red Dead Redemption. World of Western's heart is in the right place, what with its rifle toting buckaroos and friendly Native Americans patrolling digital Tombstones, but in execution it bears far too many resemblances to the many other city-building-meets-combat games…

    I'm fairly sure that they're making it, but not with a great deal of priority as other projects like Steam are way more important. The best we can hope for is that it's a relatively decent game, and that the ending ties things up nicely & Valve then refuse to make any sequels.

    It has been a very long time since I posted a Sunday Poem. I am about to get on another airplane in the morning, so I am posting it a day early. This one’s bones came to me on a return flight from up the California coast, seeing the marine layer hovering at the edge of the ocean. It sat tall, far taller than any of the hills or cliffs. It looked a cliff itself, a glacier, maybe The Wall from Game of Thrones, overhanging the land. It looked like a shoreline in an inverted world where everything we are was lost in the dark except the little twinkling lights. Seeing the clouds as an ocean…

    I don’t have any tales of games saving me from depression. I mean, I did go through a period where I was depressed. I dropped out of high school while living overseas and basically just didn’t go anywhere. I slept for 23 hours straight. I woke up to eat something and read. It was listlessness, pointlessness, it was like a blank. I didn’t feel sad. I felt… absent. Eventually I was dragged to a doctor who basically prescribed sunshine and a lot of vitamins, and a swift kick in the ass. The terror of reintegrating into life was enormous. I was shaking and trembling as I caught the bus to…

    Wittingly or no, the folks over at Paradox Development are making an amazing scientific instrument. It's called the Clausewitz Engine. I know almost nothing about it, other than having been its victim over and over again. The Clausewitz Engine is apparently a gigantic autonomous agent model. Tens of thousands of agents act according to a sophisticated set of instructions. These instructions are apparently very flexible. In Hearts of Iron, they drive divisions, armies, and countries to war against one another, whereas in Crusader Kings, the instructions drive men and women to seek marriage…

    Well it looks like the Department of Homeland Security is investigating Mt. Gox and the primary complaint is operating an unlicensed money transmittal business. Things do not look good for Mt. Gox. Its US accounts are being seized. This will likely lead to US customers of Gox (principally buyers of Bitcoin) gradually abandoning the platform, either buying Bitcoin and moving it away, or withdrawing their USD directly. The increased spread in Bitcoin prices between Mt Gox and other exchanges suggests that people holding USD on Gox are indeed buying Bitcoin in order to get out of USD in accounts…

That con stays in my heart for two specific reasons: attending that con is how I came to be involved with Ani-Gamers, and punk band Peelander Z (one of my favorites) was the musical guest. Talk about making an impression! Five cons and as many years later, CPAC is as fun as ever, offering up a range of events with college con flavor. CPAC has been growing steadily since it inception, when it…

  • Impressions: Chihayafuru 2 Episodes 13-16

    4 May 2013 | 6:00 am
    When we left off, Mizusawa was beginning to face off against Akashi Girls School. And while this entire season has been about emphasizing team over individual, episode 13’s focus is clearly on each team’s ace . . . or is it? Megumu vs. Chihaya is an intriguing match: an inherently talented individual limelighted by her team into performing at her best in order to become a reluctant queen, versus a queen-intent contestant who constantly tries to better herself for the sake of advancing her team. Both instances exemplify this season’s theme, but placing the focus on the…

So that’s the 6th of September. Sony have today also announced the details of two pre-order goodies. The first boosts your experience points for two days, and gives you some cash to start with. Anyone pre-ordering will also be able to pick the ISA M224-A1 Light Machine Gun. It seems that you can only go for one of the two, though, which is a bit stingy.

Much like the previous episode, “The Serpent’s Egg” immediately earns itself some brownie points by addressing events from earlier within the series. A couple of shows back, viewers were given a further insight into Irathient culture as Nolan and Irisa locked horns with Rynn during the latter’s attempt to swarm Defiance in a deadly Hellbug back.

    IllumiRoom is a proof-of-concept system that augments the area surrounding a television with projected visualiza­tions to enhance traditional gaming experiences. We investigate how projected visualizations in the periphery can negate, include, or augment the existing physical environ­ment and complement the content displayed on the television screen. Peripheral projected illusions can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new physical gaming experiences. Our system is entirely self-calibrating and is designed to work in any…

Two-time Academy Award winner Ron Howard, teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award nominee, writer Peter Morgan, on “Rush,” a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two…

    Star Trek Into Darkness is the twelfth installment in the Star Trek franchise and the sequel to 2009′s Star Trek. J.J. Abrams once again directs with a screenplay written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. This new adventure brings back all of our favorite crew members, adds some new ones, and gives us one hell of a ride from start to finish. The movie is reverential, faithful, and steeped in “Trek” mythology. Good or bad, this is a damn fun movie that Trekkies new and old can enjoy.

This odyssey took me to five theaters in different places downtown, boasting a grand total of something like 40 different screens – and only showing seven or eight unique movies across the lot of them. Thanks Hollywood. All it takes is for me to be predisposed against the blockbuster of the week, because there are no real alternatives. “I’m in the city, I might as well go see a movie” is no longer…

    The FBI has reportedly briefed bank executives on a wave of cyberattacks that have lashed the industry since last summer as part of a new policy designed to foster cooperation between the state and private sectors. According to comments made at a Reuters event by FBI executive assistant director Richard McFeely, the Bureau had carried out a large videoconference with dozens of bank heads across the U.S. in April to urge them to share data on the attacks they are experiencing. In the past the organization had conducted its investigations without keeping victim firms—in this case…

    The "Bring Your Own Devices" trend has a dual-personality problem on its hands. How can corporate data and personal data exist on a single smartphone? Companies don't want their deep secrets to get out, while employees don't want to be told how to use their precious mobile gadgets that they bought with their own money. It's a problem that has stumped the BYOD crowd.

  • Cloud getting crowded, and that means bottlenecks

    18 May 2013 | 7:34 am
    As data-transfer shifts increasingly to the cloud, the servers stacked in datacenters handling the data become increasingly crowded. Virtualization means multiple users can share a single server. This has positive aspects: servers don't sit idle, scalability is less of a concern, and datacenter efficiency improves. But there's a problem with too many users on a single server. And it's going to get worse. It's called "the noisy neighbor problem," and here's what happens: disk I/O for one user starts to interfere with the operations of another user on the same server.

    “Welcome to Hades,” intones God Mode’s narrator. “That’s Hell in a toga!” Classicists might debate this definition, likely by bellowing the word "WRONG!" until their vocal cords dry out and snap, but it’s unlikely anyone involved with God Mode's creation would care. If there’s one thing this isn’t, it’s a thinking man’s shooter – unless of course his thought is “I wonder how many monsters I can gun down today,” in which case the answer is "all of them." All of the monsters.God Mode is a four-player horde shooter that can be played alone, but only in the…

    While one publisher has pulled Wii U support completely, another is reaffirming its faith Nintendo will make their latest console a success. Shortly after Electronic Arts revealed they had zero Wii U games in development, one of the Wii U’s stronger third party publishers has come out to give Nintendo’s public image a much-needed boost. After all, Ubisoft has supported the Wii U from day 1 with ports of all their latest games – from Assassin’s Creed 3 to Watch_Dogs – and a console exclusive in ZombiU.

    Survival adventure game The Last of Us is out this summer, but it’s been in development for over three years and game studio Naughty Dog has a great deal of both funding and creative energy invested in it. At one point, the developers claimed that what they wanted to do was to “redefine” gaming, and to create a video game that was no longer a game with winners or losers, but simply “an experience.” It’s certainly an approach that’s becoming more common, as creatives in the video game industry begin to challenge the notions of winning and losing…

    It has been a long time but 2K’s much anticipated XCOM title has finally seen the light of day. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified went through some some changes during development. The team at 2K Marin has worked hard and seems keen on showcasing the origins of the XCOM team. But was it worth the long wait? The year is 1962 and an America weakened by its war efforts during the Cold War is on the verge of another crisis. Paranoia is at an all time high and so those in power are trying to keep the population from panicking. That’s where the newly set up Bureau agency is set up to deal…

Those who don’t own a 360 have been begging creator Sweary and publisher Rising Star Games for a PS3 release. A special Director’s Cut edition was announced to reward them for being so patient over the years. Was Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut worth the 3 years or so wait? Deadly Premonition on the PS3 is pretty much the same as the original Xbox 360 release. But for those who have been living under a rock though the game…

    It makes sense that the sequel to Dead Island is set on another island. Many feared that it’s just more of the same. But does developer Techland have any surprises under its sleeve to make it worth playing through Dead Island: Riptide? Combat in Dead Island: Riptide is actually a lot more complex than it might seem. Those that mash the attack button for weapons will find that it more than often results in dying over and over again. The only way to successfully survive a horde of zombie is by dealing damage and then retreating to replenish the stamina bar. There is always the possibility…

    6 Apr 2013 | 2:06 pm
    The story of The Tyranny of King George Washington continues with The Betrayal episode. It’s a tough act to follow, considering the high expectations set by the first episode, The Infamy. It’s safe to say that not much has changed in terms of combat. It’s as expected considering the fact that this is a continuation of the previous episode. So there are plenty of fights and jumping around for the main character. The emphasis on stealth based missions continues throughout Episode 2. Those pesky dogs( from the previous episode) that can sniff out Ratonhnhaké:to make a return.

    7 May 2013 | 8:19 am
    If there’s one thing that gamers have seen a lot of this generation it has to be zombies.  Sure, the hordes of undead have been a part of our culture ever since the 1960s when George Romero brought them to the mainstream in Night of the Living Dead, but video games in particular have taken zombies to unforeseen heights of popularity in the last few years.

If such a thing occurred nearly a decade ago, back when EA was looked upon as a conglomeration of evil not unlike the Imperial Army, this news would've been one of disappointment, but now it’s a reality and actually good news all considered.

  • Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon [Review]

    Casey White
    30 Apr 2013 | 4:25 pm
    Overall Feeling:  Blood Dragons is a love-letter to b-movie sci-fi films from the 1980s. It is genius in its satirical take on the iconic sub-culture of the material itself as well as video games in general. Fans of action movies, the 80s, satire, or just goofy action games in general will fall in love with this game before the tutorial is completed. ShogunGamer.com Rating :  10 Far Cry: Blood Dragon is a perfect, or rather the only, example of what fans of the 80s sci-fi/action b-movie genre have been hoping for out of video games for about the last 30 years. Of course that’s a…

    Overall Feeling:  Dull, repetitive, and lifeless. These are words I would’ve never associated with the Star Trek franchise but they perfectly encapsulate the experience that’s to be had in Star Trek: The Game.  As a companion piece to the movies there may be an ounce of enjoyment to be had since the film cast actually reprises their roles, with some actual luster and energy to boot, yet that isn’t enough to save a game that feels dated and like it missed every ounce of potential it held.  ShogunGamer.com Rating :  4 For the last sixty years we’ve had the Star Trek…

In this PC release from Shiver Games, gamers get to play as the antichrist, preying on the unsuspecting and weak-minded under the devilish guidance of daddy dearest, Lucifer himself. The game opens on the evening of Lucius’s sixth birthday (he was born June 6, 1966, of course) with a quick tutorial-intro in which players are familiarized with the HUD and some basic controls.

      Did you miss any of the big stories this week? Want to find out how the pieces fit together? You're in the right place. This week was filled with more financial news, more details on Silicon Knights and Precursor Games, and some more heavy-hitting previews.   E3 needs to be huge for Nintendo This week was a bit tumultuous for Nintendo. The good news is that the company is one step closer to ridding itself of a nagging lawsuit from patent squatter Motiva. Courts ruled that Motiva had no intention of applying its patents and only sought to monetize infringement by others. Motiva…

  • Replay – 24: The Game

    18 May 2013 | 6:00 am
    Earlier this week, I saw Game Informer reviews editor Joe Juba jump up and do a little dance around the office. The reason? He had just read a headline stating that action drama 24 will be returning for a ninth season. Reiner and myself started talking to him about the insane adventures of Jack Bauer, and instantly realized that we were both really excited for its return as well. After that conversation, the focus of our next episode of Replay was apparent. Our opinions on the game may differ, but that didn't stop us from getting into plenty of silly 24 talk. Check out the new…

  • Digitizing Seattle: Infamous Second Son's New Playground

    17 May 2013 | 12:00 pm
    Leaving behind the fictional cities of New Marais and Empire City, Infamous Second Son will task players with liberating the streets of Seattle as the new protagonist Delsin Rowe. While Sucker Punch wanted to make it clear that this was not a 1:1 recreation of the real-world city, the game's version of Seattle will include many of the town's famous landmarks and try to replicate the feel of America's Northwestern gem. One of the benefits of choosing Seattle is that it is the hometown of the developers themselves, which is relatively rare in the realm of open-world games. Many of…

  • Assassin's Creed Film Release Date Set - News

    18 May 2013 | 4:46 am
    Ubisoft and 20th Century Fox have slated the Assassin's Creed film for May 22nd, 2015.  That's memorial day weekend, one of the biggest movie blockbuster dates of the summer, so clearly the filmmakers have a lot of confidence behind the project.

  • EA: "No Games in Development for the Wii U" - News

    17 May 2013 | 6:14 pm
    Earlier this week, EA confirmed what everyone long suspected; the third-party giant has turned its back on the Wii U. "We have no games in development for the Wii U currently," EA spokesperson Jeff Brown told Kotaku. There was no mention of whether EA would ever resume Wii U development. The confirmation of EA's abstinence is the latest chapter in a bizarre story that began with EA vowing to have an "unprecented partnership" with Nintendo and the Wii U back at E3 2011. The company launched Mass Effect 3, Need for Speed Underground, Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13 at or near the…

    17 May 2013 | 11:45 pm
    Perhaps one of the big fantasies that geeks have when it comes to games is a Star Trek game that holds up to how the show was. This game based on the new Star Trek movies is perhaps the closest that we now have to that fantasy, compared to those of yesteryears that were featured in an episode of Angry Video Game Nerd. However, it may have just been the continuation of that tradition. The cast of the new movies lent their voices to this game, which makes for pretty good cutscenes and in-game banter. The relationship between the young James Tiberius Kirk and Spock is highlighted throughout the…

Huw Beynon, the Global Brand Manager at Deep Silver, took to Neogaf to share the thoughts of 4A Games: I come bearing FOV news from 4A. We’re aware the community have been asking for a ‘Field of View’ slider for Metro: Last Light. Unfortunately, this was not as simple a thing to implement as it might appear! The main reason for maintaining a fixed FOV is because we have 3D elements like the watch and weapon ammo that need to remain visible. In…

The goal was always simple. Infiltrate Dracula's castle and destroy the evil monster. Over the years, the Castlevania franchise has evolved and most recently experienced a reboot back in 2010 that was titled Castlevania: Lords of Shadows.

    17 May 2013 | 5:56 pm
    I often insist that game can be artistic, but rarely get to talk about why and how. I got the chance to discuss Lili, an iPad game I really like, for arts mag thalo. The island is full of strange characters for players to interact with and get to know. Early on, Lili discovers that friendly Construct Bellringer is not terribly bright, and the island’s evil mayor is a mustache-twirling villain. One Construct is a budding poet, and his verses are hilariously awful. The Spirits have a surprising amount of personality even in their one line of dialogue after victory or defeat, and Lili’s…

  • ‘Electronic Games’ From The 1980′s

    Found a cache of Electronic Games magazines from the 1980s at a flea market. They were in surprisingly good condition and I’ve had a really great time reading through them. I wrote for Geek about what’s changed and what really hasn’t. A new games studio called “Electronic Arts” is featured for their innovative new workflow patterns… Although my Geek colleague Michael Westgarth has come up with the top five classic EA franchises, and I unashamedly love EA’s The Sims, their reputation has changed pretty drastically since this 1982 article.

Avernum blends D&D combat and mechanics with a great narrative, and it’s kind of amazing that stopped playing long enough to write about it.

  • Spirited Soul Review: RPG Meets Tower Defense Meets Yawn | Hardcore Droid

    Meg
    9 May 2013 | 11:02 am
    New piece about “RPG” Spirited Soul over at Hardcore Droid. Everything one can say about Snailteeth’s new tower defence/RPG Spirited Soul  is colored by the game’s poor localization. The translated game text is usually a bit awkward, lacking punctuation and confusing your and you’re, but some sections are as incomprehensible as only Google Translate can be. The game story seems to be about a peaceful land suffering from the encroaching,  uh, something bad, not entirely sure what. You begin in the only village unaffected by the bad thing — maybe it’s a monster plague?

    Dubbed as the ‘most exciting moment in snooker history’ by one headline, the snooker 2013 world championship semi-final was humorously interrupted by an audience member on Friday. Just as Judd Trump was lining up a difficult shot in a game against opponent Ronnie ‘the Rocket’ O’Sullivan, a possibly over-excited fan decided that he or she [...]

  • April #1GAM Entry: Toytles Colors

    GBGames
    24 Apr 2013 | 5:28 am
    For my April project for One Game a Month, I liked the idea of making a game for my nieces to play to learn colors and shapes. I thought of having animals to click on, and initially it was frogs, but when I settled on turtles, it all clicked together. Download Toytles Colors for Linux 64-bit (395 kb tar.gz file) I figured such a game would need to have more pizazz than my typical projects have, so I wrote up an animation class quickly, and then I used the Gimp to create some animated legs for the turtles. It’s not too bad. I wasn’t able to dedicate as much time to it as I would…

  • The Linux Game Tome Is Shutting Down

    GBGames
    15 Apr 2013 | 5:22 am
    A few months ago I wrote about how it is so difficult to submit games to Linux gaming sites, based on my experience with trying to spread the word about the latest update of Stop That Hero! One of those sites is The Linux Game Tome. It was one of my favorite Linux gaming sites, and had an active forum for developers and players, as well as an IRC channel. In recent times, it has been plagued with spam and hardware issues. Twice it had been down for months due to a faulty hard drive, for instance. These problems resulted in a lack of activity when it was finally back up. When they updated…

  • Taking Responsibility For Your Code

    GBGames
    9 Apr 2013 | 4:00 am
    When you start a new project from scratch, you have a lot of freedom. Adding lines is almost as simple as typing it out and compiling. As you add more code, however, it starts to constrain itself. You can’t easily add a few lines here because the code over there interacts with it poorly. Eventually, your code starts to rot and smells awful, but you have to work in it. It’s just not as fun nor easy anymore. The state of your code base is the result of decisions made in the past. Sometimes developers have taken shortcuts to “get things done”, and then they have to suffer by…

    Last month, I finished my One Game a Month February project on the last day, just in time to submit it and get credit for it. Whew! February’s project was made in almost 12 hours of actual work throughout the month. That is, for about 3 hours per week, I was able to hack a game together. What surprised me was that I didn’t need a huge block of time to get something substantial accomplished. I thought that 45 minutes was the minimum amount of time I needed to concentrate and get my bearings before writing or changing code, but some of my more productive game development sessions…

    Gamezebo Rating: World of Western is the kind of social strategy game that you'd expect a guy like me to love. I might be fat and chained to a computer during most of my waking hours these days, but once upon a time I was a cowboy on the ranches of Texas – spurs, chaps, and even a slightly bowlegged walk. Alas, this is no Red Dead Redemption. World of Western's heart is in the right place, what with its rifle toting buckaroos and friendly Native Americans patrolling digital Tombstones, but in execution it bears far too many resemblances to the many other city-building-meets-combat games…

Until now, I had been using the standard headset that you get with the Xbox 360 for a number of months as my previous headset broke on me. As a result, it took a bit of time to get used to a headset again. Design The quality of the headset is great; it even feels durable.  The design of the headset is flawless in my opinion. The ear cups fit perfectly and the padding is very comfortable. The microphone is…

    Go ahead. You have my permission to hold me partially responsible for keeping the Treyarch guys knee-deep in pretzels and energy drinks. Lord help me, but I play Call of Duty Black Ops 2 nightly, for an hour or more, with a group of friends as dedicated as I. We play online against the world and we play in private matches against each other. That said, not a single one of us bought the Season Pass, so each of us has shelled out 15 bucks for each new map pack, and the latest, dubbed Uprising, is no exception. But was it worth it? Encore takes center stage, quite literally, as a medium-to-large…

    Any gamer who’s ever been nagged by a mother/girlfriend/boyfriend/roomate/spouse about playing too loudly knows that a good set of headphones is not just a luxury, but more of a necessity. My personal preference has always been the cup style headphones as opposed to ear buds, so when Wicked Audio contacted us to do a review of their new 3D Series line of headphones, I was happy to oblige.To be clear, the 3D refers to the raised lettering and graphics found on the band and cups. These are mini-jack style headphones, not powered USB, so there is no external processing of the audio going…

  • G.I. Joe: Retaliation

    Ryan S. Davis
    1 Apr 2013 | 4:13 pm
    G.I. Joe: Retaliation is an odd sequel. With only 1 1/2 returning cast members and an entirely new look and behind-the-scenes team, it feels more like a reboot than a sequel. However, it IS a sequel–the plot directly references the first one in several key places, and entirely ignores the first one in other aspects, some of them quite large as well. It’s a muddled concept from the start. It’s not a total failure, though. The disconnect from the first movie probably won’t bother most, since the general reaction to it was rather poor. That first movie really aimed to be…

    In the 1990′s, it seemed there was no shortage of action movies that could be described as “Die Hard on a _______.” After the last decade of superheroes, robots, and wizards, it feels oddly old-school to have a new movie where the bad guys are just plain old foreigners, with Olympus Has Fallen—a.k.a. “Die Hard in the White House.” Starring Gerard Butler, who has yet to recapture his glory from 300 back in 2007, and an impressive supporting cast of familiar faces, Olympus Has Fallen is the story of a lone Secret Service agent who is the last chance for…

The whole presentation had the feel of an E3 press conference and brought plenty of special effects, giant screen graphics, and international guests to the stage to talk about the Playstation 4. As exciting as it all was, talk of the console itself was left at a disappointing minimum. Most of the time was spent with game developers and publishers on what they hoped to bring to the new console. So what’s the take-away? The Specs The guts of…

The results are pretty impressive.  I didn’t time them for myself, but it seems the time has been reduced to approximately a third of how long it took without the update. I hope whatever they did to fix this also affects other menu related actions, like launching a game, which I’ve had more complaints about than the length of leaving the game.  When you…

    Speaking as someone who is interested in game development, I’m happy to announce that according to this article on IGN, Nintendo has changed some of their developer policies that will likely result in many great new games coming to the eShop. Prior to the changes, independent game developers were required to have a designated office in order to keep their materials secure. That is no longer the case, and comes as great news because many independent developers work remotely, and constantly send files back and forth through the net. But most importantly, the unit threshold has been…

  • Turn Based, The RPG Podcast 18: What Is The True Definition of a Role-Playing Game?

    Gary A. Swaby
    18 May 2013 | 6:17 am
    Richard Bailey joins myself and David Jagneaux in this week's episode of Turn Based. Our colleague ElectroJade asked me a thoughtful question recently. The question was whether a game like Heavy Rain could be considered an RPG, due to the fact you assume the role of the numerous characters and make decisions for them. I personally wouldn't call Heavy Rain an RPG, but I could easily see how somebody could make the distinction. We decided that this was a topic that should be discussed in more detail, so our main discussion surrounds the question "What is the true definition of a role-playing…

  • Until Dawn: Box art lays doubt over being Move exclusive

    Saurav Das
    22 Apr 2013 | 1:04 am
    The box art that has been released for Sony’s upcoming game in the horror genre, Until Dawn, bears the label “PlayStation Move compatible”. This has substantiated the argument that gameplay will be feasible without the Move controller. Move exclusive games usually carry the label “PlayStation Move required”. When Sony announced the game, it announced it as a ‘PlayStation Move title’. So it was naturally assumed that the game would be a Move exclusive. Until Dawn was written by a couple of horror movie veterans and developed by Supermassive Games. The…

    Metal Gear Series and Hideo Kojima are two names which can’t be imagined without each other, and yet here we are reviewing a MGS title which has very little of Kojima’s presence. Undoubtedly, we’re talking about Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance. However, Rising can’t be termed as being a new Metal Gear Solid game, far from it. It instead wants to take you on a joy ride, putting you in the shoes of the Gray Fox, and Raiden which you met in Guns of the Patriot and The Twin Snakes. It wants to be a game which’ll bring chaos to the MGS series, and who better to develop…

Yes, Gran Turismo has turned 15th and nope it's not even close to breaking down anytime soon. In a recent 15th-anniversary event to celebrate PlayStation's best-selling franchise, Kazunori Yamauchi creator of Gran Turismo announced Gran Turismo 6 but what's surprising is its continued support for the PS3 without any news on the PlayStation's next-gen console PS4.

Including World of Tanks, Wargaming has shipped more than 15 titles and to celebrate their milestone in the industry, the company has announced that they will be hosting an exclusive 15th-anniversary tournament for World of Tanks, arguably their most successful title yet. As globally popular the game is…

On the brink of Project Durango and Orbis coming our way (if you've followed gaming's biggest stories you'll know what I'm talking about), you might still have a lot of older games lying around. Now we're willing to bet that a lot of those are on CD, whether you're a PS One or Two fan or even going down the Mega Drive route or elsewhere. I remember FF IX fondly, but the disc format is just so notorious for scratching up and getting unreadable that despite the best intentions many great gaming collections go the way of the skip. ROM…

    You may -and it’s an outside chance, certainly- be familiar with the success-ravening behemoth that is Pokémon. Should you cautiously thrust your head out from the confines of your urine-smelling hermit-cave, you’ll discover that these guys have permeated popular culture to an extent rivaled only by Harry Potter, Justin Bieber and other irritating little celebrity ballaches. The deft mix of accessibility and deceptive combat depth has encouraged all ages to indulge in the sport of kings (to wit: coercing lumpen mutated wildlife to pummel the groins of other lumpen mutated wildlife), and…

How, prithee, has a humble alarm clock application made it into the hallowed halls of the Game of the Week entries? Because of the words I’m about to propel from the ballista of excitement straight into your eager eyeballs, that’s why. This odd little application is another entry in PlayStation Vita’s series of peculiar lifestyle downloads (alongside such strange shenanigans as Travel Bug and Ecolibrium). It is, quoth the developers on the…

There can be no doubt that the console has been floundering almost as ineffectually as a simpleton fish after a fin-ectomy of late. This is largely due to the great dearth of balls-out, only on PlayStation Vita mighty wonder-games. Is Soul Sacrifice a true ‘killer app’ for the Vita? Join us for a look at this creepy tale.

  • Game of the Week: Retro City Rampage

    Chris Littlechild
    27 Apr 2013 | 8:41 am
    Retro City Rampage harkens back to the carefree days of yore, when Grand Theft Auto consisted of mangling tiny, indistinct Elvis impersonators ‘neath the mighty wheels of your blurry Volkswagen Beetle. It’s a top-down-y, free-roam-y crime ‘em up, an 8-bit homage to Rockstar’s much-ballyhooed franchise. Cork your buttocks, grab your prostitute-bat, and let’s take a look. This extravaganza of parodies was released by Vblank entertainment last year, for each of the consoles’ download services.

  • Game of the Week: Tekken 3

    Chris Littlechild
    20 Apr 2013 | 12:41 pm
    I’d venture that Tekken is among the most acclaimed franchises in the Fightingsphere. In the popularity stakes, it has been in an eternal state of mutual fist-to-the-groin rivalry with Street Fighter since the Nineties. The third installment of the former, a PlayStation release from 1998, is most certainly my favourite; and frequently regarded as the pinnacle of the series. Why? Gorge yourself on the glorious word-ery assembled before your very eyeballs below, and you’ll know. It didn’t attain its much-ballyhooed status for its story, that’s for sure (not that any fighting game ever…

There are a million words and adjectives I could use in my last announcement for the Frag Dolls team, as I prepare to move on in the world.

    The ride from Gondor to Bree was long. It was dangerous, too. But Danyelle didn’t fear the bandits or the orcs or the other hazards of the road. Her companions were revered by the goodly folk and feared by rest. She had been sitting in her letters class when the message arrived from her sister that she was to come all the way from Minas Tirith to the backwoods town of Bree. She was to leave all that she had known behind. At first, she thought the messenger to be a kidnapper or someone who had a score to settle with her father or sister, perhaps. That inkling vanished when the herald turned…

What this means is there will be no news posts, no store sale post and no podcast. We have a few scheduled posts here and there so it won’t be complete silence on the blog. When the big LOTRO news story is dropped and not covered here, it’s simply because I’m not reading up on LOTRO. At all.

    Tower defense loves company. Here’s an idea that could breathe some life into the somnolent tower defense genre: head-to-head duels on a single iPad. I’ve seen this formulation a couple of times but never as confidently executed as it is by Stratosphere. Tower defense is generally such a dull exercise in optimization that being able to trash-talk an opponent face-to-face can only improve the experience. Stratosphere launched on iOS a few months ago but developers Pixile Studios have just refreshed the game with new levels and new AIs. We haven’t reviewed a tower defense game…

A place where the affluent pray at their shining temples to Mammon and the unwashed huddle in hopeful despair for the chance to, someday, worship alongside them. Here the seven sins aren’t taboos to be avoided, but instead an industry concerned with emptying your wallets and dragging your soul to the depths of hell. Here is a town…wait…what’s that?

    The Hylek village is hurting. For years they’ve been sacrificing their champions, sending them to their deaths so that the sun god looks over their village. Not only have their “sacrifices” been providing undead soldiers for the dragons, but they’ve been getting rid of their biggest and best soldiers as well. This has left the little village in an odd position, petrified of losing the protection of the sun god, but probably unable to actually defend themselves if anything did attack them.

    Famitsu reports that a high resolution, remastered edition of the adventures of Squall & crew will be coming to PC in the near future.

The new game comes as a followup to the remastered edition of Final Fantasy VII that was released last year, which included cloud saving and unlockable achievements along with enhanced graphics. Final Fantasy VIII will include a graphical overhaul but not other details are known and no release date was given. More information…

    Steam has released the latest list of games that have received community approval via Greenlight, with 6 games getting the nod and officially going up for sale. Two of the biggest titles to be released are Game Dev Tycoon and Bleed. It’s no surprise after the news about the unique anti-piracy measures put into Game Dev Tycoon that the game wrangled together a cult following big enough to get itself greenlit. Bleed, a game that premiered last year on Xbox Live Indie Games, is the other big title that is now available on Steam. The other four games are no slouches either, if a bit less…

    Hi guys! I have been really busy lately. I had to devote extra time to securing new work recently (durn recession), and I also have had plans to move to live with my gf in another country (an adventure from a less than ideal situation) so I've been organising that. My GW2 play time slipped and then my knowledge lost its edge so even when I had time to write something I wasn't in the loop enough to create something I wanted to put out there. I'm moving to Sweden THIS WEEK (excited) and I'm shipping my PC (all that I need) shortly. I have logged more GW2 time in the past few days than I have in…

I want to make posts more regular again but first I have to find the time to play Guild Wars 2 so that I find the inspiration to write about it. Having said that, today's post draws on the work of others in the community.

There’s no mistaking the action movie roots here.

    Farhan Arshad
    28 Apr 2013 | 8:55 am
    Before coding a game, you need to develop the concept of the game. Your mind should be clear about it. You need to develop a high level understanding without going into nitty-gritty. In first phase, we find the answer of “What” we want to develop and we leave the answers to “How” for upcoming phases. Let me demonstrate this method using an example. Let’s develop the popular “Snake” game. The Snake game became popular due to early generations of cell phones with text based user interfaces. See the image below… Classic “Snake” Game…

  • Revisiting the farm theme with My Farm Life 2

    16 May 2013 | 3:00 am
    Remember the time when harvesting digital crops was the most amazingly fun thing to do? Do you remember the time when Farm Town and Farmville had millions of players clicking in their virtual plantations just to get a little more points? Well, I guess you obviously remember that time since it wasn’t that long ago anyway. Of course, farming games came and went like any volatile trend that has nothing substantial to offer. The subgenre grew very fast and was quickly saturated with copycats and lookalikes and, for no one’s surprise, people lost interest along the way. Now, a year of so after…

    More and more people are using their Android mobile devices for more than just making calls and texting. Entire companies have been built around the development of applications for Android and other mobile devices, and with good reason. It’s as if the laptop, and even more so the outdated desktop, has been doomed to be useful only in an office setting. Due to this increase in Android usage, applications and programs that have done well on regular computers are now releasing Android versions. Such is the case with Opera Browser Beta, a web browser app for Android devices. What exactly does…

  • Impossible Road Review

    Eva Wong
    15 May 2013 | 7:10 am
    Impossible Road, a skill-based arcade iOS game, is incredibly simplistic in concept– just get your ball to roll through some gates on a randomly generated (and boundless) track. When you inevitably fall off, you can guide your ball to find its way back to the track, which spirals downward. You have just two controls: left and right. There is no way to adjust how strongly you lean to the left or right, just how long you hold down versus tap the controls. GAMEPLAY At first blush, the game is infuriatingly difficult. Each run feels like it ends extremely prematurely, which instantly lends…

  • Shadowrun Returns: Kickstarter Success

    Eva Wong
    3 May 2013 | 5:02 pm
    It all started with a few nostalgic SEGA and SNES gamers and a deep-rooted love for the turn-based RPG genre. 37,000 backers, $1.8 million, and some licensing ninja action later, Harebrained Schemes’ revival of the 25 year old dystopian RPG Shadowrun is finally slated for release in June 2013. BACKGROUND The original Shadowrun game depicts a modern-day earth in which magic is reawakened, causing the (d)evolution/splintering of the human race into Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, and Orks. As time goes on, magic is combined with fast developing technologies while the government is replaced with…

    RainDesign’s iRest is one of the classiest products I have had the pleasure of reviewing. The train, the pool, the desk, the backpack, iRain has a place in all of these situations and more. Design: RainDesign’s iRest is one of the most visually appealing iPad stands on the market.

    Kotaku recently posted a story about local news channels across the country covering the Major League Gaming tournaments in Dallas. In the article, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier sarcastically bashes on the local media to point out how out of touch they really are within our community. The best the news casters could come up with was the astonishing story that girls all of a sudden like playing video games! Who knew? Kotaku’s video editor compiled footage of the media’s blunder.

  • What does LucasArts shutting down mean for Star Wars?

    Damian Estrada
    4 Apr 2013 | 2:41 am
    So we have all heard by now that LucasArts has been closed down by Disney. The company felt as though LucasArts was creating a “risk factor” when developing its games. While this statement is obviously true, as with any game developed. Is this “risk factor” worth shutting down a full game development studio? Personally I have not enjoyed a LucasArts game since “Star Wars: The Old Republic”, a game developed by the infamous BioWare. Here is a short list of the games that LucasArts has developed over the last 5 years. 2008: Fracture Lego Indiana Jones:…

Believe me, I'm in your corner on that issue and have some thoughts as to what I would like to see released. How about a new Suikoden? How about a Contra Reboot or just a new one altogether. Oh and speaking of Suikoden, don't forget that there is a Revival Movement on Facebook, which is somewhat of a petition to get Konami to get serious about making another Suikoden game. It's been quite a while now since we've seen anything in that department, and both it and Contra really haven't seen much…

It's full title is "Xronos Clock -  Arduino Based Talking Alarm Clock" to quote the sale page.

    Looks like it's finally set in stone. The release date and price for the new Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection, that is. Drum roll please. July 9th it will land on store shelves for a price tag of $49.99. This of course, in the eyes of Amazon, as they have it listed for that date and cost. I think Konami forgot to give a specific price for it, but fear not, as Amazon has their price protection guarantee plan. So no worries about the cost going up on you if that were to happen. Also for those of you who are still wondering about an Xbox 360 release taking place, forget it. It won't…

God Mode combines non-linear gameplay, fast and frantic shooting, hordes of on-screen enemies, a fully functional online coop mode, and features visuals and gameplay that rival that of a full-priced boxed title. Matches rarely–if ever–play out the same, as dozens of in-game modifiers can significantly alter the gameplay on the fly.
