The original 2004 PC classic known only as Painkiller has received the HD treatment. I'm not talking the "crappy HD" kind either. Announced back at this year's E3, the HD remake of Painkiller is out right now! for PC. XBox 360 and PS3 owners are going to have to duke it out for another couple of months as their versions will be available come January 22nd, 2013. I loved the original Painkiller with its tons of insane, over-the-top weapons, like the Stake Launcher or the double barreled Shotgun with a liquid nitrogen alt fire. I spent many hours pushing my crappy desktop PC to its limits and beyond while playing Painkiller and every single moment was worth it. Read More...

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...

If you're a fan of Rock Band, like me, then you should know that there is a crap load of songs for DLC. So many in fact that over the past week they broke the 4,000th song mark for their franchise. I don't know about you guys, but over 4,000 songs to choose from? That is an amazing feat. I've been playing Rock Band since the very first one, and had a ball playing through the second and third installments of the franchise. I can't wait for a fourth installment, if there is ever going to be one. I hope so. Read More...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

If all is still to be believed, all of us PS3 owners will be getting a shiny, new store front this coming Tuesday. Something I have been hoping to come for quite some time now as I have missed a load of new content when it loads. But after seeing the below, I am not too sure that this is what I've been hoping for. Take a look at the following tour and I'll continue my thought flow. Doesn't it really look like it is set up more to sell ad space than anything? Read More...

So now that we have waited patiently for any news on Deadpool, the game not the character, it finally looks like we are getting just a bit more. A new character for the game as well as the Merc's own colorful words on said character. Who is this new character? None other than the girl who can get lucky with anyone, Domino. Points if you catch the pun. Domino is well known for having been part of Six Pack and X-Force in the Marvel universe. Read More...

Attention collectors! Looks like we have a look at what is coming for the upcoming God Of War: Ascension Collector's Edition and… It looks… just like every other Collector's Editions out there. Statue, DLC pass, and all. Not that I am not excited for the GoW:A and I won't be getting this version of the game, but it seems a little blah. At least it is only $80 unlike the GoW 3 Collector's Edition. So what is in this Collector's box? Read More...

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...

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...

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...
