by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 5th of February 2010 - 03:41 PM ]

Well as long as you have a version of Rock Band that allows for DLC to be added onto your game. That and wait until after the game to buy the track from the Rock Band store. Like you would break anyways right. Between the Super Bowl it's self and the Super Bowl Commercials, when would you find the time anyways. Well that and if you are not too drunk buy then, but now I'm flowing off topic. Any Who, the fine minds over at Harmonix have gotten a hold of what The Who are going to be performing during the Half Time show. Read More...

It Only Took 16 Years For Sonic 4: Episode 1

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 4th of February 2010 - 05:32 PM ]

As the below video montage/teaser for the new Sonic The Hedgehog game show, the new Sonic 4 that was just announced only took the people of Sega since 1994 to pump out the new game. Not all that long right? I mean they did have all those spin offs and uses of Sonic in between the last sonic game and this downloadable Sonic game that is coming this summer. As you can tell from the title, even though it has yet to be officially stated, this new Sonic will be episodic in nature. I mean, why call it episode 1 if it wasn't going to be. Read More...

Review: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 1st of February 2010 - 11:03 PM ]

So it only took a little over a year, but Capcom's latest cross over fighting game has finally hit the shores of the rest of the world. Bringing the latest and best that the Capcom franchises have to go up against the anime characters that acclaimed Tatsunoko Productions has to throw at them. In a nice little battle royal on the Nintendo Wii. A nice 28 man, woman, robot, and creature battle royal. With never before used characters from Capcom being used in this console iteration of the game, you may be thinking, how does it all size up and play out. Read More...

BioShock 2 Shows Us How To Use The Scout Plasmid

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 27th of January 2010 - 10:32 PM ]

During your play through of BioShock, didn't you always wish there was a way to Scout out what was going on in the next room? Wouldn't have been nice to be able to do that and also set up or actually attack enemies in the next room so they were weaker before kicking down the door for the attack? I know I would have saved a few deaths if I was able to do that. Actually screaming out "I wish I could [insert what I said above]" when I died. Not really, but I can picture it in my head.

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 20th of January 2010 - 09:19 PM ]

Who bought Halo ODST just to get those exclusive maps for Halo 3 to play through? You know, those exclusive maps that brought your total count up to 24 maps to play on. Those maps that you could only get by buying ODST. Yea those ones. Well it would seem that they are no longer exclusives come next month.

CES 2010 Impression: Psyko 5.1

by Binh Nguyen [ Saturday, 9th of January 2010 - 07:11 PM ]

Psyko Audio may not be the first to release a 5.1 headset and they certainly will not be the last, but Psyko 5.1 was named one of the CES best of 2009. Does this new headset deserve such a title? Well I decided to give them a visit while I am here at CES 2010 and see how well the headphones are shaping up. I met up with James Hildebrandt, CEO and Head of Psyko Audio, and he gave me the rundown on the headset. The first thing he had me do was listen to some music from the Blue Men Group for a full two minutes as he pointed out where the music was coming from the headset indicator. Read More...

by Brian Bentley [ Saturday, 9th of January 2010 - 02:26 PM ]

Here at CES 2010, we had the opportunity to stop by and visit with Tritton Technologies to see the "next big thing" in gaming headsets. Tritton's Aaron Smith took us around the booth giving us a guided tour of the AX-180, AX-720 and the AX-Pro. He was kind enough to suffer through our questions and a video recording. The did not have their upcoming release of a wireless version of the AX-180 at this show, but look for it at PAX East. So, take a gander at the video Binh recorded and leave your comments on the products below. Read More...

Review: Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks

by Brian Bentley [ Thursday, 7th of January 2010 - 09:56 PM ]

Though Spirit Tracks is far from innovative, it boasts enough improvement in gameplay and graphics over Legend of Zelda’s previous release on the Nintendo DS, Phantom Hourglass, to insure its success. Not every game has to be groundbreaking to entertain its audience. Spirit Tracks takes fans of the Zelda franchise into another quest to save Hyrule – this time with Zelda’s spirit accompanying and assisting Link along the way.The story, including why you need to visit the Tower of Spirits, is not particularly innovative, but it has a certain amount of charm. A few generations after the adventure of Link and Tetra in Phantom Hourglass, peace reigns in Hyrule with Princess Zelda ruling. Read More...

Holiday Gaming Memories

by Kevin [ Tuesday, 29th of December 2009 - 08:50 PM ]

Now that Christmas has come and gone, we reflect on the joys of the holiday and the time we now have to enjoy the fruits of commercialism. Pull up a chair, and grab your favorite console, and take a listen - it's story time.There was a time before Halo, before Uncharted, a time of purity. An age of gaming declared glorious in its simplicity. It was dubbed 8-bit. It was pure pixeled perfection, and it was a time of punishing difficulty, limited continues, and precision timing.
