Review: Dead Island
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 13th of September 2011 - 09:44 PM ]
When a zombie outbreak happens, you feel like you are on an island even in the middle of the main land. The only difference is that instead of freezing rough waters of the ocean surrounding you, you have a sea of mindless hungry cannibals. So how would it feel if you were stacked up against both obstacles? Of course, this just has to happen in the middle of a decadent holiday trip. Dead Island from Techland and Deep Silver is here to show you just what might happen if that did occur. Read More...

Dead Island Shows How Team Work Is Golden During Zompocalypse
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 9th of August 2011 - 09:56 PM ]
When choosing one's zombie team, you generally want to have a good group whom you know will watch your back and not hesitate to kill a zombie. There is no room for cry baby whiners who will end up killing you and the group down the line. It is just good tactics for survival. It would seem very amateurish if you didn't know that rule when it comes to surviving the zombie plague be it urban or not. So what is the big news here as it clearly isn't just a lesson on surviving Zompocalypse? Well Dead Island has officially gone gold so we can expect it to keep the September 6th launch date.

Dead Island Is Making Curb-Stomping A Good Thing
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 2nd of August 2011 - 08:50 PM ]
It should be well known by now that each of the four playable characters in Dead Island has a finishing move for the undead when they are brought to their knees. The undead, not the character. Most of these moves include a stomp to the head or some other way of putting the final nail in the coffin for the undead. The below screen shots should be a good example of what I am talking about if you are still in the dark. Now for my extra two cents. Read More...

E3 Hands On: Dead Island
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 17th of June 2011 - 10:50 AM ]
If you've followed anything I've written regarding Dead Island on this site, you would know that this is one of the few titles I am extremely excited to play. So you can only imagine my excitement when I was let in on the (as I was originally told) appointment only demo. A demo that focused specifically on the multiplayer/co-op of the tragedy in paradise. What could be better? I'm done gilding the lily here, so let me just take you into the bulk of what I got to see as well as control in Dead Island. Read More...

A New SSX Debut At E3
by Corey Dockendorf [ Thursday, 9th of June 2011 - 03:03 PM ]
We haven't had an SSX title since 2007, so the announcement earlier this year that SSX was coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 was kind of a big deal. With there over-the-top tricks and incredible tracks (both snow and music), SSX is probably one of the highest-rated snowboarding games out there. Definitely a welcome back for both the genre and the franchise. Mountains, check. Snowboard, check. Read More...

House Of The Dead: Overkill Ext. Cut Moving To PS3
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Saturday, 28th of May 2011 - 07:20 PM ]
I knew holding out would pay off. I knew that one day House Of The Dead: Overkill would be hoping onto the PS3 so I could hear all 189 of those F-Bombs that are laced throughout the story. I'm sure they are all tastefully positioned for story purposes and not to crack some kind of record… Although seeing as this is the extended cut of the game coming to the PS3 I have a feeling that the record is going to be broken with a few hundred more tastefully placed F-Bombs. There are a whole two more stages to pack full of the profanity. Lets' do a little math on this. Read More...

See How Dead Island Is Going To Handle
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 25th of May 2011 - 05:13 PM ]
So I thought the last video for Dead Island was going to be it before E3. Don't want to show off everything before the major convention now would we? But it would seem that the developers wanted to give Game Trailers a bit more to show off before their big E3 push. The video can be seen below. Before you move off to the video though, I'd like to make my normal comments. So bare with me. Or ignore these words and watch the clip. Read More...

Dead Island Really Showing How Paradise Can Go Wrong
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 19th of May 2011 - 05:57 PM ]
So the original trailer for the game made a huge splash and so did the exclusive behind closed doors showcasing, but for the most part it has been CGI or mostly words showing/describing how Dead Island will handle. While this is still a little bit of the case, we can glean a little more from the below screen shots and new trailer for the game. In fact some of the action shots show quite a bit that can be guessed at. The trailer on the other hand is not as informative, but it does hold a different view of the game world. Read More...

Zombie King Don't Give A Damn In Call Of The Dead
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 4th of May 2011 - 08:31 PM ]
I'll start by throwing a SPOILER alert here for all those Call Of Duty: Black Ops fans who are picking up the Escalation DLC today on the 360. Also for all those fans who are picking it up on the PS3 or PC later on. The below videos show off some of the DLC that you might want to experience firsthand and not through the internet. You've been warned, don't get pissy. If you are continuing on, then you undoubtedly wish to see what else is included in the DLC besides a few maps for multiplayer. Read More...

Isaac Isn't The Only One Fighting Through The Sprawl Of Dead Space 2
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 23rd of February 2011 - 09:29 PM ]
You know one thing I noticed when playing through Dead Space 2, and the other Dead Space titles for that matter? The lack of other real "hero" types on the ship or Sprawl. Yea Extraction and Ignition had other protagonists, but for the most part they turned out not as heroic as Isaac. I mean Ignition had 2 scenarios where Franco kills Sarah in cold blood. Then you have McNeill in Extraction that seems to have been turned into a Necromorph in the epilogue of the game.* Well, come this March 1st we will get to see another protagonist, from Extraction, try to fit into Isaac's Rig to add another two chapters to Dead Space 2.

Let's Take The Dead Island Challenge
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 17th of February 2011 - 09:43 PM ]
Yesterday when the trailer for Dead Island hit the internet it caused a huge sensation. It is quite a brilliant trailer to behold. I did happen to notice two things about it though. The main thing is that it caused so many emotional responses, most in the form of crying or tearing up. I'm not talking just women either before you go there guys. Be it the mixture of the music and the film style or the fact that you are watching something extremely happy being torn apart by flesh eating monsters. It has some impact. Read More...

Play Ring Around The Necromorph In Dead Space 2
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 8th of November 2010 - 10:04 PM ]
While I doubt this will be a game play mode for the upcoming Dead Space 2 multiplayer, that doesn't make the below trailer for the game any less creepy and awesome. Just about on par with the awesome "Twinkle Little Star" trailer from the first Dead Space. Which I will add, there is nothing creepier than having a three year old look at you and start singing that version at you in a cold, dark game room. Check it out. Pretty damn awesome huh?

Review: Dead Rising 2
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 11th of October 2010 - 09:05 PM ]
The zombie outbreak has now overtaken a good portion of the world now. Cites have been destroyed, human life is now precious even more so now yet everyone with a pulse has seemed to come to terms with zompoclypse. In fact, they have come to such great terms that game shows have popped up surrounding the total destruction of all of the infected. The most popular being Terror Is Reality, which has taken up shop in the new city of Fortune City just miles outside of a destroyed Las Vegas, NV. Speaking of Las Vegas, remember the Case Zero Review? Read More...

We Found The Best Zombie Plan
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 6th of October 2010 - 10:38 PM ]
We asked for your plans and we got a lot of submissions. Looks like all we have to do is place Contest, Prize and Zombies into an article and we get all you readers' creative juices flowing. Maybe it was just the first two, but I like to think positive when it comes to the seriousness of having a good zombie plan. In the end, the most creative and interesting was written by error_code (Rhai). I mean it was not only a "How To Survive The Initial Onslaught" type plan, but it also included the long term plan as well; including a "doomsday switch" in case the zombies somehow overrun the base of operations.

Mini Review: Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 27th of September 2010 - 09:02 PM ]
On a leisurely escape from zombie-infested Las Vegas, Chuck and Katey Greene stop in the quiet town of Still Creek, just 46 miles outside of the metropolis. Katey is infected, but the constant supply of Zombrex is keeping that at bay. That is, until their car is stolen while stopping for a quick gas break. What kind of misadventures could that lead to? Not a bad set up for the prologue to Dead Rising 2, huh? Read More...
