Abstinence motion control game might be the best game in the world.

I am without words.  No, actually I do have words but they are jumbled around in my head like a great storm in the middle of a brackish sea.  The following is a prime example of why old people with no imagination should never, ever, try to make a video game. Or, on the other [...]

GameStop buys Kongregate

by Joseph Christ · July 27th, 2010 · 5 Comments

Last week we wrote about GameStop beginning to look for ways to get into the world of digital game distribution.  At the time it seemed that, or at least I thought, perhaps rentals were in their future.  Seems that GameStop was searching for something of a more direct approach.  It was announced today that they [...]

More of the Same Signal?

by David Liao · July 27th, 2010 · 8 Comments

I played through the Alan Wake DLC, the Signal, yesterday afternoon. For better or worse, it’s more of the same. For those of you who loved Alan Wake, this is probably right up your alley. I would like to hear the opinion from someone like Nick, who really enjoyed the original game though. As for [...]

Yes, someone was stabbed in the eye at Comic-Con

by Joseph Christ · July 26th, 2010 · 22 Comments

Some may have heard the rumors, some may have not. In any case Twitter and the convention itself was a buzz with the news that someone, somewhere, was stabbed in the eye at Comic-con. The details have been officially released today, and as these things usually go the argument was started over something of such [...]

If This Was A Different World…

Or if this was a different time and if I was a different person, I’d give a shit about Star Craft II. I’d love nothing more to be excited about one of THE most anticipated titles this generation. I’d also love to have the computer to run it without having to use the minimal settings. [...]

Jaffe: New Twisted Metal more varied…will have silly FMV

If there is anything that really tugs at the nostalgia roots of old gaming, especially around the mid to late 90′s, it would have to be really poorly done Full Motion Video Cut scenes.  With more powerful computers in the home and the introduction of the CD for consoles, it became the standard bearer of [...]

Street Fighter X Tekken Announced

As Nick Henderson would say, “Holy Balls!”  I’ve never been a huge fighting game person over the years, but fighting games which have been released lately really get my gears in a groove (recently BlazBlue has been eating up a fair amount of credits at my local arcade).  Street Fighter X Tekken, announced today at [...]

It’s official. Brad to rep ‘Team Kamiya’ in Marvel vs Capcom 3!

Long ago we recorded (or maybe just wrote) about our Top 5 Sequel Revivals where we talked about potentially dead franchises we desperately want sequels to. Well, Marvel vs Capcom 3 was pretty high on my list. Even then, I dreamed of what it would be like to be Dante in a fighting game. After [...]

How Limbo Could Have Been Better

by Travis Granger · July 23rd, 2010 · 25 Comments

Limbo is a fantastic game. No doubt in my mind tells me otherwise. Limbo has the rare value of being a simple, yet challenging game. While most games are able to shit out 5 hours of average gameplay for sixty bucks, Limbo is able to convince people that fifteen dollars is worth two hours. And [...]
