Bethesda Announces DOOM 3 BFG Edition
DOOM is one of those properties that EVERYONE has heard of, thanks in no small part to the blockbuster success of the feature film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The series of games based on that movie, though oddly released years and years ahead of the movie in an odd choice of product tie-in marketing, have been even more iconic, and have had a major hand in defining first perso...[Read More]
Review: Mad Riders (XBLA)
Racing games have always been a secondary form of gaming entertainment for me. They’re fun, but like sports games, I can only play for so long before I find that it’s time to step away and play something with more substance. This has always made it hard for me to pay full retail for a racing game, because I know that it will take me an incredibly long time, filled with large gaps, to m...[Read More]

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 030 – “Old People Talking About Cartoons”
With my step-daughter’s birthday last weekend being the extraordinarily exorbitant affair that it was, I was, in the simplest of terms…pooped. Therefore, there was no podcast episode last week. Problem? Tough. This week, “Old People Talking About Cartoons,” Episode 030 of Marooners’ Talk, starts off with a group of almost-30-somethings (the titular “Old People&#...[Read More]
Bang Bang Racing Coming Early June
I was going to start this piece off by talking about the impressive roll that Digital Reality was on in 2012 with titles like SkyDrift and Sine Mora, but a quick search through our published articles reminded me that SkyDrift was actually all the way back in September of last year. I find myself consistently surprised with how quickly this calendar year is passing us by. My point still stands, how...[Read More]
New Star Wars Game Franchise To Be Announced

Mad Riders Team Makes A Trailer
I absolutely adore creative marketing. I want to give creative marketing shy compliments in barely more than a whisper, then quickly respond, “Nothing!” when creative marketing asks me what I said. I want to be a wonderful friend to creative marketing when it needs me, and build a foundation of mutual trust and affection. I want to turn that friendship into a beautiful relationship bet...[Read More]

2011’s From Dust Making Its Way to Google Chrome
I first saw From Dust at a Judge’s Day event last year down in Santa Monica. I got another taste of it at E3, before finally getting my hands on the real deal during last year’s Summer of Arcade event. It was a fascinating game, with a beautiful environment. Now, this wonderful game is making its way to the Google Chrome store, much to my work efficiency’s detriment, I’m su...[Read More]
Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II (XBLA)
The fact that I still hold out hope for Sonic titles speaks directly to just how much of an impact the original Genesis titles had on me as a lad. For two decades, I’ve played Sonic titles. Even though Mario has a more consistent track record of quality, Sonic’s high points have been bigger and better than Mario’s across the board, in my opinion. I think what I’m trying to ...[Read More]
