Review: Skylanders: Swap Force

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 24th of October 2013 - 05:44 PM ]

It's time for the third installment of the Skylander franchise with Skylanders Swap Force. With it comes a new story, new levels, and new toys to be collected and used. Not to mention that these new toys also have a new mechanic both in the real world and in the game world. That being the ability to trade half of one toy with another and mix and match their powers and look. This is my first foray into the Skylanders franchise so let's see how well it went and if it is worth your time and money to invest in the franchise at this point in the game. The Story Kaos, the main villain who should just really be Invader Zim, is up to his evil plans again. Read More...

They Got Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag In My Epic Rap Battles Of History

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 23rd of October 2013 - 10:33 PM ]

With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag less than a week away from launch it's high time that the advertising and promotion trains get a rolling. Not that they haven't already with all the 'parkour' and free running videos abound as well as armor/weapon smithing of the in game items. Pretty much you don't need to look too far to find some kind of AC4 promotion. This brings me to the topic at hand. If you have been living without the internet for the last few years you may not be knowledgeable of the comedic we phenomenon of Epic Rap Battles Of History. Read More...

Another Film Game Coming For The Amazing Spider-Man 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 21st of October 2013 - 04:42 PM ]

First let's start with the groans of "A film-based movie for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Then let's remember how not too horrible The Amazing Spider-Man film-based game was. In fact I rather enjoyed it more than I thought and I think that was part and partial to the game being in development longer than most film tie in games. It looks like this could be in the same boat. If you look below we have the announcement trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game that is set to launch alongside the film of the same name.

Story Time: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 18th of October 2013 - 09:23 PM ]

With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag releasing in the next couple weeks it is about time for us to get to know the main character Edward Kenway. It makes sense as we will all be spending many hours controlling his every move while he plunders the Caribbean upon the Jackdaw. Lucky for us Ubisoft has put out a new trailer full of cut scene and game play to help us get a feel for this scalawag. Although I think that term maybe a bit out of place, but it was 'pirate-y' so give me a break. As usual, I will let the video explain more as I am sure it is the way you like it but Edward's story doesn't sound all that new to the Assassin's Creed franchise at all. Read More...

Review: Knock Knock

by Kenton Winkfield [ Wednesday, 16th of October 2013 - 10:34 PM ]

With Halloween just around the corner, I've wanted to play a creepy game. The problem with this is I can’t seem to find a game creepy enough to send chills down my spine, while not scaring me away from the game every five minutes (it's been a few months since the last time I played Amnesia). Thankfully, the fellows at the Russian development studio, Ice-Pick Lodge, have created a game to fit my personal chill levels without scaring me away. Knock Knock is a 2D side-scrolling survival game set in a single house in the middle of the woods with a single resident. The game was started by Ice-Pick Lodge when they "received an anonymous e-mail which suggested that we should produce some 'unconventional' game based upon the materials attached to the letter.

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 14th of October 2013 - 07:10 PM ]

Can we all say it together? FINALLY. Finally we have hit an age were platform choice doesn't matter when it comes to playing with friends. In the below trailer for Call Of Duty: Ghosts you can see all of the new details for creating or re-registering clans for the title, but this has to be the biggest news out of all of it. Am I right? Oh wait, it doesn't actually let you play with friends in game. Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 7th of October 2013 - 05:08 PM ]

We have been promised some great things for the upcoming Call Of Duty: Ghosts and I am talking more than just the dogs. New modes, new graphics, new engine, all kinds of new stuff. Well here we go with yet another new feature to the franchise and next installment to the franchise. This new mode is called squads. What is Squads? Well according to the below trailer, this is a whole new set of modes for single player or multiplayer where you get to build your own squad and pit them against other player's squads or AI squads.

You Can Binge Watch Mortal Kombat Legacy Season 2, But Do You Want To?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 2nd of October 2013 - 03:52 PM ]

Earlier this year we got a trailer and a few details about the second season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy. I was not overly impressed. Now the time has come and we have the full season available to watch. I have and am still not impressed at all. Again this feels like a simple milking of the franchise and nothing more. If you don't believe me or think you might have a different opinion on the quality of the web series you can watch all ten episodes below. It makes me sad to know that an original idea that happened three years ago spawned just another telling of the same story we have heard a hundred and one times already. Read More...

New Destiny Trailer Will Fly You To The Moon

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 1st of October 2013 - 09:01 PM ]

Here we go with some great news for all of you out there looking forward to Destiny. If you pre-order the game now, and I'm assuming up until spring of 2014, you will gain access to the official beta for the game. The assumption before is based on the fact that this beta is slated for "Early 2014" or "spring 2014" and there would be no need to gain access after said beta has concluded. Either way, if you haven't pre-ordered yet, or if you have, you need to head down and get your beta code so you can get all set up. Just as a heads up though, you can only get access to the beta if you pre-order at the following locations. Read More...

Let's Get To Know The Rag Tag Group Of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 30th of September 2013 - 05:55 PM ]

Nothing brings people together like a great heist. That's a saying, right? Well it is for my needs. Anyways, why should a great heist not bring a group of pirates together as we can see in the latest trailer for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? With the unifying theme of greed among men who will most likely turn it around in the story to be the thing that saves us all from the evils of the world becoming the real story. Damn, I am going off topic again. Anyways, again, below is the latest trailer for the game with very sparse new info but at least it is a great advertising piece for us to devour. Read More...

Let's Pep Up On This Somber Day With A New Call of Duty: Ghosts Trailer

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 11th of September 2013 - 07:10 PM ]

If you are an United States citizen then today has a different and most likely somber meaning than "just another day." It could also be a day where everyone and their sidekick try to use it to gain something in the guise of being topical or remorseful. It happens. It is human nature it would seem. In any instance we should all pay reverence to those who keep people like me free to post mindless gaming news on the internet. What better way to do that then to watch a new trailer for Call Of Duty: Ghosts so we can think we know what those brave people do? Attention grabbing aside now. Read More...

Here's What We Will Be Playing Day One For The PS4

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 21st of August 2013 - 06:55 PM ]

Just as Microsoft did yesterday, it looks like we have a pretty well rounded list of titles coming Day One-ish for the PS4 when it finally hits homes on November 15th. At first glance it looks like it is a bit longer, 10 more titles to be exact, but there are a few titles there that we've already had our hands on for a while now. Granted, it would be nice to have them all be original titles, but that is just the dream. By no means does this mean that I am not excited for the launch of the new console, but the numbers do seem a bit padded in regards to what will be available from launch. Read More...

Call of Duty: Ghosts - Multiplayer Livestream

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 14th of August 2013 - 05:00 PM ]

In case you haven't heard yet there is going to be a multiplayer mode in the upcoming Call Of Duty: Ghosts. I know right? I was shocked to find out about it. I just hope that it isn't some kind of tacked on last minute thing. I hate when that…oh wait… This just in, the multiplayer addition is nothing new to the franchise nor "tacked on." Well don't I have egg on my face…? Levity aside now. Read More...

The Massive Open World Of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 25th of July 2013 - 08:40 PM ]

All of the details leading up to now surrounding Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag have been pretty spectacular. Some of it has just been written details or descriptions from all of us bloggers out there. Luckily that is no longer going to be the case as we have a full view of the open world and special features in ACIV. Just in case you want to still go into the game blind, I'll give you a bit of the run down in text form. The big thing is the "openness" of the game's world. Read More...

Splinter Cell Blacklist Goes Back To Its Roots

by Greg Tatterfield [ Friday, 12th of July 2013 - 04:59 PM ]

Many old school fans of Ubisoft's Splinter Cell series were disappointed with Conviction's heavier focus on action. Ubisoft realized this and added a new difficulty mode to Blacklist called Perfectionist Mode. Intended for Splinter Cell purists this mode removes your mark/execute ability and takes away your ability to see through walls with Sam's sonar goggles. This mode increases enemy difficulty in both stealth and combat as well as does not allow players to restock ammo at supply caches. This mode is really unique because it brings the series back to the original three games in the franchise where the only thing that you have to rely on is your night vision goggles and the shadows.
