Will Crysis 2 Play as Good as it Looks?

by Nick Henderson · August 17th, 2010 · 17 Comments

As i’m sure many of you have noticed, a slew of announcements have come pouring out of Gamescom today including the announcements of games like Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Resistance 3, and Postal 3. However, I consider those to be widely known quantities so it’s no wonder the reveal of the Crysis 2 [...]

Don’t Forget About Enslaved

Yesterday was the day that Irrational Games announced their “ambitious” new title: Bioshock Infinite.  Don’t mistake those quotes as a lack of excitment or anything because trust me, the thought of Irrational breathing new life into their original work of art is exciting as hell.  However, yesterday we were treated to another trailer for a [...]

Its been a few months since the Bethesda / Interplay case was out of the courts and now its seems that Interplay is making good on its intention of bringing a Fallout MMO into the world.  Speeding along various game sites I’ve noticed today that Interplay is now accepting sign-ups and beta invites on the [...]

“Batman: Arkham City” Pre-Reveal Speculation

by Nick Henderson · August 5th, 2010 · 17 Comments

Batman Arkham Asylum was among my favorite games of 2009 as I am sure it was for many people. Rocksteady Studios did a phenomenal job of combining the classic Batman Animated Series style with the dark/brooding tone of the Christopher Nolan films. Not only did it make Batman relevant again in the video game realm, [...]

2010 is Apparently a Good Year to be Bond

by Nick Henderson · July 20th, 2010 · 11 Comments

I really am getting sick of posting about Bond…. really.  It makes me look like crazy obsessed fan boy but it seems that someone out there (i’m looking at you Yamaha Casey…)  is bent on ensuring that I do get hyped about the upcoming original bond game, Blood Stone,  from Activision/Bizarre Creations.  With that said, [...]

Bizarre Creations Reveals 007: Blood Stone

by Nick Henderson · July 16th, 2010 · 12 Comments

In an unexpected turn of events, Bizarre Creations finally revealed their new Bond game entitled Blood Stone today. The reason I say unexpected is that the game really looks like a traditional bond game, with high octane driving sequences and third person ass kicking included. Speculation had been running rampant that the new Bond game [...]

Halo Reach: Concept Evolved

by Nick Henderson · July 7th, 2010 · 23 Comments

My history with Halo is rocky. I bought an Xbox to play this amazing game that everyone was talking about only to play it for an hour and then turn it off to do other things. It wasn’t until last year’s spin-off, Halo ODST that I finally understood the reverence behind the series. In my [...]

The Importance of DUST 514

by Joseph Christ · July 2nd, 2010 · 14 Comments

DUST 514 was announced back in August of 2009. On my birthday to be exact. It might not mean much to you if you haven’t played any MMO’s,  and chances are that you haven’t even heard of it.  For some MMO players, and particularly the millions who fly little spaceships around in EVE Online, its [...]

by Nick Henderson · June 17th, 2010 · 22 Comments

I managed to get some hands on time with the upcoming Goldeneye remake for the Wii today. This is quite possibly one of my favorite games of E3 2010 for a number of reasons. It really looks as though Eurocom has taken a unique approach to remaking a classic title. With a game as beloved [...]

Mortal Kombat movie or viral campaign?

by Joseph Christ · June 8th, 2010 · 18 Comments

A short (7 minute) live action Mortal Kombat movie was released today. No one really seems to know exactly what this is for, but latinoreview.com is stating that it is most probably a demo reel used to sell a project to big publishers. This could mean that this is not footage from the actual movie [...]

A New Direction for a Growing Franchise

by Nick Henderson · June 4th, 2010 · 14 Comments

I feel like I have been posting a lot about Assassin’s Creed lately but to be honest, I feel it is a series with endless potential in the industry. It is an intriguing take on ancient history with exciting game-play possibilities and an almost endless supply of source material to draw from. For me personally, [...]

Having just finished recording a spoiler filled Alan Wake podcast (to be posted later today), I thought it might be a good idea to post this glimpse at the evolution of the games long development.  I dont have a lot of time but the gist is that this video gives a look back at the [...]

Bathe thine self in the ludicrous scandalocity that is this leaden tempest.  Watch it in HD. You see that shit? At the end of the video it looks like he SHOT A MONKEY at that one dude! It’s actually a chain but, goddamn it, it looked like a monkey to me. I blame my enthusiasm [...]
