Ah…The Photo-Realism Of The Division Brings A Tear To The Eye
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 23rd of January 2014 - 06:49 PM ]
A few more stunning screen shots from The Division that are hard to believe are in-game and not pre-rendered. This is what 'next gen' should really look like. I mentioned this before and I'll probably keep saying it, but how did I let The Division slip past my radar for so long? Every time there is something new to show of the game I am blown away with the aesthetics of the game and what the Snowdrop engine can do. If anything, the below screen shots should help drive that home a bit more. Mind you all but one is compiled of 100% in-game visuals and nothing pre-rendered. Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 22nd of January 2014 - 06:54 PM ]
The Tomb Raider Definitive Edition was announced and claimed to be bringing us the next gen Lara Croft on the PS4 and Xbox One. Let's take a look at if they have kept their word. The Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is only about a week away from hitting our "next gen" consoles and giving us not only another title to play on them but a look at what Crystal Dynamics is claiming to be the definitive version of the game. At least to date. There have already been a few comparison videos and images spread out in the ether of the internet but are you not truly interested in what went into making this 'definitive' look?

Look What We Will Have To Turn Into To Beat Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Saturday, 18th of January 2014 - 06:37 PM ]
Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 is on the horizon of launch and it is time to see all the locations and transformations we'll have to go to and use to defeat Satan We are on the cusp of the release of Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2 so it is high time to see what we gamers are going to have to turn into to help destroy the forces of Satan. I'm of course not talking about turning yourself into an ultra-nerd gaming machine that does nothing but grid boars to level up. I am talking about the new dragon form that can be assumed by Gabriel or Dracula, if you want. Read More...

Alien Isolation Is Proof The Franchise Will Never Die
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 14th of January 2014 - 07:24 PM ]
Alien Isolation has been announced from Sega and Creative Assembly games but will it be the Aliens game we hoped we were getting before? During the hullabaloo of CES it looks like Sega announced a new Aliens title, Alien Isolation. Yea, after the huge fiasco that was Aliens: Colonial Marines, it looks like Sega and 20th Century just doesn't want to let the franchise fall aside and let the fans still love what they already loved. One bonus that Alien Isolation does look to have is that it is being handled by a new studio, so there is that. Why don't we take a look at the announcement trailer and see what is going on here.

Review: Nihilumbra
by Kenton Winkfield [ Sunday, 12th of January 2014 - 07:53 PM ]
We sit down and review Nihilumbra. How does this quirky 2D side-scroller handle? As much as i enjoy a game with many difficult maneuvers and complex button combinations to master, a simple game is always preferred after a long day. But simple gameplay can make it difficult for a game to hold my attention, and keep me from getting bored. The people at BeautiFun Games have created the perfect game to fill that position. BeautiFun Games is a 7-person indie development company located in a city just outside of Barcelona, Spain. Read More...

Review: The Walking Dead Season 2 - All That Remains
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 2nd of January 2014 - 06:38 PM ]
We Sit Down And Review The Walking Dead Season 2 - All That Remains. It's The First Episode But Does It Keep The Steamroller Of A Franchise Rolling? I've finally had time to digest the events of the first episode of the second season of The Walking Dead from Telltale. It's been over a year coming and we now get to see what happens to the adorable little Clementine and the survivors of the previous season even though those numbers were running pretty low at the end. So let's jump in and see if the wait was worth it. If there seems to be description missing that is due to trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible. Read More...

Review: The Harvest
by Kenton Winkfield [ Thursday, 19th of December 2013 - 06:27 PM ]
Review Of The Harvest By South African Indie Developers Luma Arcade Are you busy and looking for a game to play that doesn't require all your attention? Is solitaire not intensive enough to fill that free time? Do you not have a mouse readily available to play most games and are left with only one free hand and a trackpad? Well that sucks, but maybe you'll want to look into The Harvest. The Harvest is a top-down action RPG set in the future from South African Developers, Luma Arcade. Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 17th of December 2013 - 07:02 PM ]
The Walking Dead Season 2 Is Finally Launching And Launching Today For Most. Let's See What Telltale Has For Us. If there was one game that captures so many over the last two years it has been The Walking Dead from Telltale.

It has been though and now we are moving into the second season of the The Walking Dead franchise and for most of us gamers out there that day is today. Don't get too worried by me saying for most of us and not all just yet though. Read More...

Get Teased Some More For Tom Clancy's The Division
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 10th of December 2013 - 07:24 PM ]
The New Tom Clancy's The Division Trailer Shows Off The Amazing Snowdrop Engine But Nothing In Terms Of Gameplay I have heard so many people talk about how awesome The Division looks and how excited everyone is for it. After watching a few of the gameplay videos online, because I missed the first big showing at E3, I too have been getting more and more interested in The Division. I am not a huge Tom Clancy fan but the visuals and little bit of gameplay I have seen makes me ignore that part of the game's title and keep alerts up on anything new. Like most of you I got excited when it was stated there was going to be new gameplay video during the VGX awards last weekend. Read More...

The Unreal Engine 4 And A Bit More Under The Hood
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 5th of December 2013 - 11:38 PM ]
Shock And Awe At The Power And Utility Given With The Unreal Engine 4. We've Seen The Final Project. Now See How It Was Done. Time to take a little side trip away from the normal hustle and bustle of gaming and go down the avenue of how some of our favorite games, or soon to be favorite games, are made. I think any of us would be hard pressed to not be able to name a title made via the Unreal Engine. If you have to think too hard on that then you must turn in your 'Gamer Card' now. Read More...

Story Time: Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 21st of November 2013 - 05:57 PM ]
Looks Like Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Is Getting The HD Make Over With Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty. Here's The Story Trailer And Some Proof I remember way back in 1997 when I first spun up Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee in my PS One. At the time I thought it was the pinnacle of graphics and fun story telling. Now it looks like we are getting a HD rendition of some sort with Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty. From what I remember of the original and see below in the story trailer it is the same in most ways. But that is to be expected from a full remake am I right? Read More...
