Just Dance 4 Gameplay & Limited Tracklist
Whenever I see the word “Europe” anywhere, I automatically yell out (depending on location, sometimes in my mind instead of out loud) that it’s “THE FINAAAAL COUNTDOOOOWN!” Sorry, Europeans (internal on that one, given my current whereabouts), but that’s the lot that life has dealt you all. Alternatively, whenever I see the name Selena Gomez, I automatically hav...[Read More]
ZombiU Trailers and Screenshots From Comic-Con 2012
Between the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo Wii U, Ubisoft has done more than its fair share of making handhelds and consoles look like they’re worth buying. One of the big titles that receives some derision for its title, but praise for its concept, is ZombiU. Yes, another zombie game. How, then, can it be receiving praise? If your character gets eaten by zombies, you start from the begin...[Read More]
Borderlands 2 Gets Whimsical New Trailer
When I was in fourth grade, I was in a radio commercial back in my hometown of Oklahoma City. The five best readers in the school district were chosen to participate in the commercial, so one day we all drove down to KOMA, the local Oldies station, and started to lay down some mad tracks. Even though they gave me a cassette of the commercial, I wanted to listen to it on the air, so I started liste...[Read More]
Starz’ Spartacus Coming to Consoles in 2013

Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Gets New Trailer – Accolades
I have no doubt that Assassin’s Creed III Liberation is going to be one of the defining titles for the PS Vita hardware, and definitely a big driver of PS Vita hardware sales for the last quarter of calendar year 2012 and forward. I’ve been a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed series, and am definitely looking forward to having two new Assassin’s Creed games to play this Octo...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 035 – “In Which We Mourn the Loss of Adam”
For the most part over the last few months, we’ve managed to keep our podcasting trio intact. Occasionally, however, either Thom or Adam will totally let everyone down and fail to appear on a weekly episode. Last night, Thom and I found ourselves in just one such situation, as Adam may have died (but we’re fairly certain…pretty sure…hopeful that he’s alive). That bein...[Read More]
Review: Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 (XBLA)
I used to be a big Magic: The Gathering player. I started in 1994 with a group of friends, and stayed with it until the summer of 1997, when I moved from Oklahoma City to California. After spending three years playing with the same group, it just didn’t feel the same trying to play against anyone else, so I retired my deck and moved on. Fifteen years later (by Odin’s beard, that’...[Read More]

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 034 – “Do A Barrel Roll!”
After a busy weekend of rocking out, followed by some hardcore napping, we finally got together to record this week’s podcast episode. Episode 034 of Marooners’ Talk, “Do A Barrel Roll!”, covers various topics. We get off to a slow start, but to be fair it was Monday evening, and not every opening can be fireworks and pinatas, so LAY OFF. There are a few moments of positive...[Read More]
Dishonored Stealth and Violence Walkthroughs
With every piece of media that comes out for Bethesda’s upcoming steampunk stealth first-person assassin title Dishonored, I get more and more excited. Granted, I’m not a major fan of first-person perspective in anything (shooters, racers, RPGs), but the mechanics of Dishonored have me interested in spite of the limited perspective offered by a first-person view. In order to emphasize ...[Read More]
