Happy-Happy Birthday From Everyone @ Bennigans

Are you kidding me Bioware?

A new DLC pack for Dragon Age: Origins has been announced today. “Witch Hunt” will cost you 7 dollars and will certainly destroy one of Bioware’s finest characters. Yep, 7 dollars not only buys you the “ending” to Dragon Age, but it also ruins it! It seems Bioware wants to alienate all fans of Dragon [...]

UK’s Defence Secretary calls for Medal of Honor Ban.

by Joseph Christ · August 22nd, 2010 · 30 Comments

Defense Secretary Liam Fox is either a moron or a subhuman for pandering to the lowest common denominator’s most base emotion. Lets get that clear now.  To make matters even worse, he is probably also either ignorant or outright lying in order to do it.   In case you haven’t been informed, there is currently a [...]

Top 5 Podcast recording this Weekend

by Brad Simons · August 21st, 2010 · 5 Comments

Variety in games isn’t always a good thing. Possibly afraid of their games becoming repetitive, designers often add in sequences or segments that deviate from the core mechanics that make their great. These range from uninspired turret sequences to surfing on missiles. The segments frequently suck. Sometimes these diversions are the only redeeming part in [...]

So for all you who know and those who don’t know, we are doing a Panel at PAX this year. It’s entitled Do You Have A Chance Against IGN, 1UP, & GameSpot? Recently they released the Official Scheduling for PAX and apparently we don’t have a chance because if you’ll look at the screen cap [...]

Persona devs finally dive into the HD era with Catherine

by Brad Simons · August 20th, 2010 · 28 Comments

Persona 3 and 4 get no shortage of love amongst fans of Japanese RPGs. And while I certainly love the genre myself, these games have never hooked me. I blame the overly convoluted fusion system, the “strategic” battles that simply involve exploiting an enemy weakness, and the infuriatingly rigid and linear game structure. With the [...]

Oh, Milo. You were the one game… errr… boy that I didn’t hysterically mock during the unveiling of the Natal at E3 2009. But you weren’t actually real — just a silly pre-recorded video. I wanted to see the real boy! Well in the video below, Peter Molyneaux finally demonstrates what it’s like to interact [...]

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 [...]

Kingdom Under Fire 2: New Co-op Multiplayer Trailer

by Brad Simons · August 16th, 2010 · 15 Comments

I find it frustrating just how criminally ignored Phantagram’s Kingdom Under Fire 2 has become. The first gameplay footage was released ages ago, and the game looked amazing then. While the series often gets incorrectly compared to Dynasty Warriors, this new co-op gameplay footage shows off some of the game’s strategy elements. Also, combat looks [...]

Very few reading this will have heard of it but, if our demographic numbers are in any way correct, there should be at least a handful that have.  So allow me to take this moment to educate the former and fertilize that faint memory for the latter. Back in the early 90′s you would have found a [...]
