Aggrocast Episode One Hundred One: Niching the MMO

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 8th of August 2012 - 09:27 PM ]

Brian, Corey and Matt return the Aggrocast to former glories. Before you ask whether or not the Aggrocast had glory to begin with, think about how you view Massively Multiplayer Online games. Now that you're thinking about MMOs and how to categorize them, join the guys as they discuss business models, how to categorize MMOs and whether they are dropping out of the mainstream. The debate further continues as they discuss what constitutes a MMO and where this genre is going. While you're listening, don't miss out on Whatcha Been Playing, the Community Spotlight and a special 5-question Care / Don't Care. Read More...

Did You Hear That There Will Be Multiplayer In Black Ops II?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 7th of August 2012 - 11:00 PM ]

Before I get trolled for the title, it is a joke based on the title of the new Black Ops II trailer released on the official YouTube channel. It's titled Multiplayer Reveal trailer. Like we all didn't know or even assume that there was going to be a multiplayer aspect to the biggest shooter franchise in gaming. Not much of a reveal. Now for the serious part. Read More...

Deep Silver Is Teasing Sacred World

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 3rd of August 2012 - 04:19 PM ]

Who wants to get teased? Well you don't get the option to decline now as Deep Silver, of Dead Island and Risen fame, are doing so until August 7th for their upcoming game Sacred World. Well at least that is the assumption that can be made based on a tweet sent out by the company and the teaser site sacred-world.com. This could be the name or it could just be one of the PR sites set up similar to nohopeleft. Read More...

The Disappearance Of Single Player

by Greg Tatterfield [ Wednesday, 1st of August 2012 - 09:49 PM ]

Remember the time when you placed a new game in your game console and you could expect an epic and memorable single player experience? I am among those gamers who remember having that full-blown experience with every new game that graced my console. As an old school gamer that owned all the major systems since the 90s I see a disturbing trend that could spell trouble for fans of single player games. The problem is that single player seems to be becoming extinct. It’s no secret that online multiplayer has became exceptionally popular among the current generation of gamers. Read More...

Watch How Agent 47 Walked Through The Hitman: Absolution Demo

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 26th of July 2012 - 08:17 PM ]

You have to love modern tech today and social media. While we have special events that showcase video games and have 'behind doors' demos, it is only a matter of time now before all of the masses get to see what we do at events like E3. Just like Metro earlier in the week, we have a view at what I got to see for Hitman: Absolution at E3. Just in case you didn't like reading everything I had to say. Just in case you don't want to go back and read everything from before, this demo shows the Streets Of Hope and some of the new unique game play for the new Hitman. Read More...

Naughty Bear Is Back And Showing Off Game Play

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 25th of July 2012 - 09:36 PM ]

Over two years ago Naughty Bear hit consoles to a rather mediocre reception. I for one enjoyed the idea and concept but there was room for improvement. So I was a bit shocked to hear that there was another title in the franchise coming this year. Hopefully the team over at Behaviour Interactive has taken their time to polish up franchise a bit. Speaking of, why don't we take a look at the game play for the upcoming Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise? That should give us a good look to see if that is the case. Read More...

The Villain Of Black Ops II Is A YouTube Celebrity

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 20th of July 2012 - 05:32 PM ]

When first mentioned after announcement, the villain of Black Ops II was stated to be a "hacker" type who takes over a whole bunch of military tech. In the more recent video it looks like the people of the world are also a little bit to blame. Sitting happy and ingesting all of his propaganda as we do viral YouTube videos. I mean hells, with over 55 million people subbing this guy and over half a billion views, how could we all not be to blame? Right? Read More...

Review: Jeremy McGrath's Offroad

by Fred Buell [ Thursday, 19th of July 2012 - 10:10 PM ]

Jeremy McGrath's Offroad, developed by 2XL Games and published by Reverb (PS3) and D3publisher (360), plays like you would expect any offroad, rally or ATV game to play. It's smooth, it has some air control and it has competitive AI. That is where this game really ends with its current competition. Jeremy McGrath's Offroad has various unlocks as is expected in this day and age, like new vehicles and performance upgrades, however I couldn't find much reason to go after them. No motivation to keep playing despite this. Now don't get me wrong, the game is superbly crafted, no bugs at all as far as I could tell, beautiful graphics for an arcade title, the AI is smart and the controls top notch. Read More...

Deadpool Is Finally Getting His Own Game

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 17th of July 2012 - 05:13 PM ]

He's been featured in a few games and has mostly been used for cameos, but now the 'merc with a mouth' is finally getting his own shot at video game stardom. That's right, Deadpool has been officially announced and the game is coming. Don't fully believe it yet? Then go ahead and check out the announcement trailer that snuck in at the San Diego Comic Con last week. Hopefully that will prove more to you. Don't be too surprised with the lack of any real substance being shown here though. Read More...

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 6th of July 2012 - 11:12 PM ]

It's summer block buster time again in the film industry which means it's also the time we see the video games that coincide with said block busters hitting the shelves. While Marvel missed out on a proper Avengers title, Beenox and Activision made sure that they didn't miss out on a new Spider-Man title. The pair have already churned out the last couple of rather decent titles for the franchise so why not one for the film. Let's see how their faired in a genre that is usually know for making slop that just milks the films for more money. Read More...

Review: Inversion

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 6th of July 2012 - 03:55 PM ]

Inversion is a game I've been extremely hyped for since I first saw it at E3 2011. It's an action 3rd person shooter that allows you to also use gravity as a weapon, amongst other things, to fight your way through a post-alien-invasion world. Sounds new and interesting, but with a sneaky release date during this year's E3 how good could the game be? Well let me give you my ten cents on Inversion. Story Everything seems nice and normal for Davis and Leo, the main characters for the game, until out of nowhere an invasion from what is a human "alien" invasion. Read More...

Review: Ship Simulator Extremes

by Fred Buell [ Monday, 2nd of July 2012 - 11:15 PM ]

I started playing Ship Simulator Extremes with an open mind. Partly because I wasn't sure if this was going the pure Sim route with me only free riding a boat or the MS Flight route with a campaign and missions you can take. It took the latter with a campaign and various scenarios you can choose from the menu, alas the game is looking up, I think. I was wrong. So wrong. Read More...

Indie Game Of The Month: A Valley Without Wind

by Fred Buell [ Thursday, 28th of June 2012 - 06:33 PM ]

For all those lovers of classic action games or side scrolling RPGs; look no further than A Valley Without Wind. When I spoke with the developers from Arcen Games at PAX East last April, they had said they loved the old 2D actioners like Super Metroid, Castlevania and so on. They said the one thing they hate about those games is 'they end.' A Valley Without Wind plays just like the aforementioned games with a hint of MMO and one huge difference. It doesn’t end and the maps a randomly generated. Read More...

E3 2012 Impressions: Dead Space 3

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 20th of June 2012 - 11:28 PM ]

Talk about an awesome announcement at this year's E3, Dead Space 3! Yes I am one of those people out there who still love the franchise even though EA is milking it for everything. But Dead Space was one of the games in the recent years that revitalized the survival horror genre for me. Needless to say I did everything I could to fit in a viewing of the game. While originally this was shown behind closed doors at the show, recently the game's Executive Producer (Steve Papoutsis) posted a video showcasing exactly everything we all got to see on the show floor. I was nice enough to include the 20 minute game play footage show casing the single player and co-op for you below. Read More...

E3 2012 Impressions: 007 Legends

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 20th of June 2012 - 08:37 PM ]

I know what you are thinking, why is Activision trying to milk the franchise even more, especially since the last two attempts fizzled out and left a sour taste in a lot of gamers' mouths? It did for me too. So I was a bit sketchy on actually giving 007 Legends my time at E3. But I did and I'll be honest that what I saw should have been the way that the company should have gone in the first place by trying to capture the amazingness that was Golden Eye. So the demo started off with a quick overview of the first "mission" announced base on the film Moonraker. It is a more modern re-telling of the story from the film and is the first of six films that will be in the game's over all storyline. Read More...
