The PS3 version should be arriving sometime in March for 2011. While the beta should start letting opt-ins play in early July, if you [...]

Loved

by Ben Alford · June 28th, 2010 · 44 Comments

To update: The discussion in the comments turned out wonderfully, I posted some responses there. You should join in too if you haven’t. Loved is a short platformer by Alexander Ocias, who describes the game as “a short story in the form of a flash platformer.” The platforming is fairly basic and a little hard [...]

E3 2010: Top 5 Biggest Disappointments

by Nick Henderson · June 26th, 2010 · 26 Comments

I don’t want to come off as ungrateful or jaded but unfortunately E3 2010 was a bit underwhelming when compared to E3 2009.  When I returned home from E3 last year, I could not contain my excitement for gaming.  Last year, we were treated to some truly unbelievable announcements and game-play debuts.  We saw the [...]

E3 2010: Okamiden Leaves a (small) Impression

by Nick Henderson · June 19th, 2010 · 7 Comments

I would rank the original Okami as one of the best titles in the PS2 library. It ranks up high with games like Shadow of the Colossus and Ico because it beautifully melded a unique and beautiful art style with gripping game play mechanics. When you consider that it was also a long game with [...]

Other thoughts about the conference in total will be coming later today and on tonights podcast.  But for now, this little [...]

X-COM trailer feels sacrilegious, yet oddly appealing.

by Carlos · June 11th, 2010 · 15 Comments

By now it’s clear that the new X Com game won’t be turn-based nor tactical. It won’t be futuristic, either. This new trailer shows american suburbia getting invaded by goo in the 50′s.  I was shocked when they said the new X Com game was going to be a first person shooter.  After seeing this trailer, [...]

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, [...]

An Alpha Protocol Designer Speaks Out

by Brad Simons · May 30th, 2010 · 21 Comments

I don’t know what to say. Since it was announced, I have been cautiously excited about Alpha Protocol. I know Obsidian has plenty of talented designers, but their final products are always unpolished, buggy, and in some cases, completely unfinished. Now that the reviews are out, it seems most of my fears have been realized. [...]

Gives me DIMPles in my Cheeks!

by Travis Granger · May 28th, 2010 · 15 Comments

In case anyone has forgotten, there has not been ONE good Sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles (unless you include Spinball of course). So imagine my excitement for Sonic 4  by Dimps, the creators of Sonic Rush, announced for XBLA, PSN, WiiWare and Iphone. This title is supposedly going back to the roots of Sonic. [...]
