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...

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...

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.

For knowledge is power! Yeah, I don't know what I'm babbling about. I'm just really excited for Torchlight II. Well, enough of that. Let's get on with the goodies. Read More...

The guys over at Croteam were nice enough to post an update for the Serious Sam 3 version that's being released for Xbox 360. "Update on Serious Sam 3: BFE Xbox 360 - 3rd party testing: We have completed our internal testing last week. Final build was uploaded over the weekend to a 3rd party testing company, E4E, for the external testing. They will be testing both the Xbox 360/XBLA TCRs and FTCs. E4E has already started with testing on Monday morning. Read More...

So a few weeks ago I gave you my impressions of Dishonored from E3. I also spoke a little bit about it on the big Aggrocast Reunion. But I know for some of you out there words don't paint as pretty a picture as actually seeing the video. Lucky for you, Bethesda just cut a version of their demo for the show for you. I won't bore you more than need be here. If you want to read more on my impressions you can click the link above for that. Read More...

Here we go with another big title that everyone and their mother were talking about leading up to E3. For me on the other hand, Dishonored had a bit of "been there played that" vibe from all of the trailers, screens and info given out. But it wasn't until the E3 demo and hands on that really set my thoughts about the game. Let me break it down for what I saw and found out. First off, it is completely worth noting that during the demo it was let loose that the some visual minds behind BioShock, Half Life 2 and some mechanical minds behind Deus Ex are working on this title from inception. Read More...

Can we talk about Dishonored for a minute and can we talk about how creepy the trailer is. I mean honestly, the trailer is creepy. It is very Jack the Ripper. You're not going to get enough from this trailer to determine exactly what the hell is going on, ala Bethesda, but between the explosions, pretty fireworks and the creepiest soundtrack I have ever heard, I cannot wait to play. Nothing says creepy like a bunch of kids singing that shanties of the sea. What we do know so far, is that this seems to be a blend of BioShock and Assassin's Creed. Read More...

The guys over at Croteam have been working furiously since the original launch of Serious Sam 3: BFE to get their baby on consoles. We're looking at (maybe) a September / October release for XBLA and an even longer wait for PSN. "Regarding Xbox 360 SS3, it is in development, so we are on it since PC was released... It does require time to do all kinds of optimization's, first to fit all in memory and to get decent frame rate, as 360 is rather old hardware now (512MB RAM, lower range graphics card etc). Please be patient for around 4 more months for 360, we are doing our best to finish it in that time frame. Read More...

Today, the guys over at Team Meat have proudly announced - via their Twitter page - that Super Meat Boy for the XBox Live Arcade has sold over a million copies. "Fun Fact: Super Meat Boy past the million sales mark last month! PLATINUM BABY!" - Team Meat Twitter. I'm so proud of Team Meat with this amazing feat of strength - a whopping one million sales. This is extremely impressive for an indie arcade game. I personally love Super Meat Boy. Read More...

In the world of Digital Rights Management (DRM) there have been a lot of cruel and unusual punishments for those who dare pirate video games; even punishment for paying customers because of some random glitch or what not. So in my travels around the internet I've stumbled upon what could be the greatest DRM scheme ever: An Immortal, Insanely fast pink scorpion. That's right. For those who pirate Croteam's Serious Sam 3: BFE, they will find themselves, from the opening of the game, fighting off an immortal pink scorpion that does not stop attacking until you die.

Since last week's installment of Trailer Park was non-existent, I believe you guys are overdue for a new set of trailers. First up we have a new trailer for EA's SSX coming out on February 14th, 2012. The trailer shows off a lot of game play footage that looks just as insane and hilarious as previous installments, Doing the "Worm" on a snowboard and twirling around like a helicopter are just a couple of the nut job tricks showcased in the trailer. If you plan on pre-ordering SSX then I have some great news for you - pre-order bonuses! If you pre-order from Origin you will get Elise's "elite" snowboard along with a "bonus" boost. Read More...

Well, Serious Sam 3: BFE comes out in about a month and I feel it is my duty as a gamer to spread a little hype about one of my favorite game franchises. Serious Sam 3 takes place before the first Serious Sam game, dropping you in the story right as Mental's unending legion of aliens attack Earth. Croteam, the guys behind the franchise never tried to do something they didn't think fit the "serious" formula: Run and Gun. Their slogan for the game sums up the entire Serious Sam franchise; "No Cover. All Man. Read More...

Almost a month ago, Valve's Steam Service launched an open beta trading feature which allowed players to trade Gifts/in-game items among other Steam members. Well that service has officially gone live, and you are now free to trade your TF2 hats to all your Steam friends! That was a quick beta test! Steam members can now trade items from Spiral Knights, and Team Fortress 2 as well as gifts purchased (but unopened). Although these are the only games supported for item trading, Valve has said that "Portal 2 should be reasonably soon and we hope to have several third-party games in the next few months. Read More...
