Review: WWE 13
by Greg Tatterfield [ Monday, 12th of November 2012 - 11:24 PM ]
The long running wrestling series from THQ is back again with WWE 13. The game features some an updated roster with and a bunch of improvements. Let's start off with the negative points. Hated: There is not much I hated about WWE 13. There were only a few issues that I had with the game. Let's start off with the new single player mode Attitude Mode. Attitude mode lets you relive the best know period in WWE history from 1995 to 2000. The main issue that I had with this mode was the fact that it was so repetitive. Read More...

Review: Need For Speed Most Wanted
by Greg Tatterfield [ Wednesday, 7th of November 2012 - 09:37 PM ]
Need For Speed Most Wanted marks the second Need For Speed developed by Criterion. Most Wanted is a re-imaging of one the best received entry in the long running series. How does the new game hold up? Find out in my review. Hated: Perhaps what I hated most about Most Wanted is the fact that it just does not feel like Need For Speed anymore. Most Wanted resembles Burnout more then Need For Speed. I felt like they just took Need For Speed and just turned it into a Burnout Paradise sequel with cops. Read More...

Review: Serious Sam 3: BFE
by Matt Waitt [ Tuesday, 6th of November 2012 - 06:59 PM ]
I'm terribly sorry that this review is finally seeing the light of day. It's just I have been getting my teeth kicked in trying to beat Serious Sam 3: BFE. Where do I start with Serious Sam 3? There is so much to talk about and only so much of your patience so I’m going to dive right in to the goods. This is what a First Person Shooter should be. An insane amount of enemies and destruction? Read More...

Incoming Flame War From Devolver Digital
by Matt Waitt [ Monday, 29th of October 2012 - 11:01 PM ]
All this week Devolver Digital is bringing the flame wars ablaze with their "Warfighter-Fighter" campaign. A 50% smear campaign and 50% promotional campaign. So starting... Now all that you have to do to be entered for a chance to win a free copy of Serious Sam 3: BFE, is to tweet a message about the stagnant modern military FPS genre with the hashtag #SeriousSam3XBLA or for those of you who don't use twitter there is also the Serious Sam fan page where you just have to post on their wall doing the same. Here is the official post from Devolver Digital: "During this busy season of video game releases the team at Devolver Digital realize that not every game will live up to expectations. One such game has been Medal Of Honor: Warfighter - yet another military shooter where cover is king and most folks spend their time peeking out from behind a wall or strategically place concrete barrier.

by Matt Waitt [ Friday, 26th of October 2012 - 05:14 PM ]
If you own Borderlands 2 and have a Twitter account, then you should know by now that Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox, and Gearbox Software tweet out Golden Key codes that can be redeemed using the "SHiFT" program on Borderlands 2. These codes last for about three hours and have a "once per account" use. Golden Keys are used to open a special golden loot chest in Sanctuary. The higher your level, the better the loot.

Challenge Mode Armor Updates For Mist Of Pandaria
by Matt Waitt [ Wednesday, 24th of October 2012 - 07:01 PM ]
The new feature in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria called "Challenge Mode Dungeons" offer some very cool Transmogable gear. Transmog aka Xmog is changing the look of your gear with another piece of gear while saving the same stats. So Gear A will look like gear B but still has the stats of gear A. But now Blizzard has announced that all of the Challenge Mode gear sets will have a "use" ability to them, giving each class a unique flare to their awesome new gear. For those of you who don't know; Challenge Mode Dungeons are Heroic dungeons on crack. Read More...

Why So Serious?
by Matt Waitt [ Tuesday, 23rd of October 2012 - 10:27 PM ]
I think the Joker summed up the past few years of video games quite well, with his famous saying "Why So Serious!?" It seems that today's industry has dropped the light-hearted and comical games of yester-years for a more gritty, hardcore, and serious tone. While I'm not saying these "serious" games are bad, I am saying that a break from them would be much appreciated. Video games are not all about world wars, political sabotaging, or saving the world from a cliché ultimate evil. We came from a very humble beginning, a beginning of stomping on weird brown monsters, using rainbows to squash bugs, and controlling fat pink things that suck up anything in their path. Read More...

A Beast Of A New Trailer For BioShock Infinite
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 23rd of October 2012 - 06:24 PM ]
While some of us were busy participating in a 24 hour game-a-thon for Extra Life and the Children's Miracle Network, Irrational Games and Take Two decided they would let loose their new trailer for BioShock Infinite. Either it was planned or not, it definitely hit just right and brought the title back into the lime light. Not that it was left out too much, but outside of the pre-order updates news has been sparse for Infinite for quite some time. Take a look at the new trailer and a few stills from it below.

Review: Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken
by Kenton Winkfield [ Monday, 22nd of October 2012 - 10:01 PM ]
The first time I heard the name Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, I immediately thought to myself, “Oh God, what am I getting into.” Once again I am not disappointed. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a platformer/shooter like that of the golden age. Combining beautiful backdrops, stimulating puzzles, and fast-paced firefights, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken gives just enough challenge to keep any player entertained and on edge. The story Follows Hardboiled Chicken, The Cock of War, must rise against Putski, the evil penguin dictator. I couldn’t make that up if I wanted to. Read More...

Outlast - A New IP From Red Barrels
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 17th of October 2012 - 06:37 PM ]
Who's ready for another Survival Horror game to hit your computers? You? Good. Looks like Red Barrels has something in store for fans of the genre. Outlast is the name and surviving or 'outlast'ing the horrors of Mount Massive Asylum is the game, so to speak. Here's what we know outside of the new trailer below. In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the "research and charity" branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.

Review: World Of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria
by Matt Waitt [ Thursday, 11th of October 2012 - 11:06 PM ]
Mists of Pandaria is World of Warcraft's fourth expansion since its beginning in 2004. Featuring over 1,800 achievements, a new race, a new class, a whole new continent to explore and much more. Mists of Pandaria was released back in September and I'm finally writing up a review for it, simply because I have experience enough of the expansion to finally give it a worthwhile review. So the level cap has been increased five levels. While that might not seem much, the ramp up from 85 to 90 is enormous. Read More...

PETA-mon Or Pokémon Black & Blue
by [ Wednesday, 10th of October 2012 - 06:23 PM ]
Many of you know the group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). You know their missions, their methods, and you have your opinions on it. Good or bad, you can’t deny their ability to latch onto trends like a starving leech. Video games seem to be their latest target. They’ve created parody games before, including Cooking Mamma: Mamma Kills Animals, Super Tofu Boy, and Mario Kills Tanooki. Finally, 16 years after their initial release, PETA is taking a swing at Pokémon. Their latest game, coinciding with the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, is Pokémon Black and Blue.

Hands-on With The Medal Of Honor: Warfighter Public Beta
by Kenton Winkfield [ Tuesday, 9th of October 2012 - 08:18 PM ]
Today started like any other. I signed into XBox Live, went to see what was new on the marketplace, and found the Medal of Honor: Warfighter Multiplayer Beta ready for download. I enjoyed the last Medal of Honor so much that I decided to give it a try. Once again I am finding it tough to tear myself away from the game even to write this. Medal of Honor: Warfighter Multiplayer Beta already has me wanting to go out and get the game right now. With subtle tweaks to the style, and larger changes to load outs, I am scouring to see everything this game has to offer. Read More...

Let's See Some More Ways To Murder In Hitman: Absolution
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 8th of October 2012 - 04:47 PM ]
Just when you thought we'd seen enough of the murdering for Hitman: Absolution we have yet another trailer showcasing it. This time they are rather creative and entertaining though. Like the guy running around with his head on fire. How'd that happen on accident? Either way I want to do that to someone in the game already. Let's get that launch date closer. Although I do have to say I am beginning to get curious if there is more to Hitman than just the killing. Read More...

Story Time For Assassin's Creed III!
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 4th of October 2012 - 07:07 PM ]
We are close to the launch of Assassin's Creed III and we know the general story and time period of the game. Wouldn't it be nice to get the spoiler on why and how Connor joined the assassins? When you look at the recruitment process in the past it would seem a bit odd that a Native American would join the ranks of the assassins. They have seemed to stick to a specific 'type' so far, but I digress. A bit of a heads up, the below trailer does touch on a few things in the intro story. Read More...
