Take A Closer Look At The Trials Evolution Editor

Trials Evolution has made a large bullet point of its editor. It has been presented as a very in depth, powerful editor allowing you to create tracks, maps, and more that would boggle the mind and defy the natural laws of our universe if constructed in reality. So, you know, we’re excited as shit about it. Take a closer look at the Trials Evolution editor system in this latest trailer, and g...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Trailer

The multiplayer beta for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is now exactly one week away. Hopefully by now you’ve either found your copy of Splinter Cell Conviction, pre-ordered the game, or made sure you were a PlayStation Plus subscriber in order to secure access to aforementioned beta. If not…chop chop. A Ghost’s most valuable weapon is preparation. With time slipping away, we’...[Read More]

Kinect Voice Commands Coming to Skyrim

Today, along with confirmation that Bethesda is currently “hard at work” putting together the first Xbox 360 wave of new quests, locations, and more, we learned that, sometime this month, we will be receiving a free patch update to Skyrim with some big additions. Well, I suppose you could say one big addition that affects multiple aspects of the game, but either way, voice commands via...[Read More]

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 024 – “Everyone Dies”

Episode 024 of Marooners’ Talk, titled, “Everyone Dies,” ran extremely long. Instead of pushing out an episode clocking in at well over two hours, we spontaneously decided to simply title the second half of our conversation as Episode 025, which will be available for you next week. Episode 024 was originally intended to focus solely on the first book of George R.R. Martin’s...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Beta Dated and Ghost Recon Network Announced

The term “two weeks” is very powerful. For Tom Hanks and Shelley Long in the 1986 classic The Money Pit, “two weeks” was the timeline for home completion…for months. Now, I’m going to say it. Two weeks. My “two weeks” has two meanings. First, it’s the time until April 19th, which marks the beginning of the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier multiplaye...[Read More]

Mr. Scratch wants you to buy Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

One of the highlights of this year’s XBLA House Party was Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. It made me want to play the original Alan Wake, a title I had skipped because of my lack of interest in its genre. High praise, from me. The game has been out now for well over a month, but a new trailer has been released. Normally, I find that a review is the best purchasing advice I can give, an...[Read More]

Double Dragon Neon Will Be Most Excellent

Slip on your legwarmers and Jellies, because Majesco Entertainment and WayForward are going to take you back…to the 80s! Double Dragon Neon, tentatively due this summer on XBLA and PSN, will not be a simple rehash or remake of classic Double Dragon. No, this will be a most excellent love letter to Double Dragon and the 80s as a whole, to the max. Step into the shoes of Billy and Jimmy Lee as...[Read More]

Harmonix Announces Rock Band Blitz

Yesterday, we saw a first look at the upcoming game from Harmonix, Rock Band Blitz. Due this summer on XBLA and PSN, Rock Band Blitz is an instrument-free rhythm game, similar to, oh I don’t know, Rock Band Unplugged on PSP, or Frequency and Amplitude on PlayStation 2 (both of which were also Harmonix titles). Full of power-ups, challenges, recommendations, and more, Rock Band Blitz brings o...[Read More]

Ghost Recon Assaults Facebook

It’s no secret that I am pretty damn excited for Ubisoft’s upcoming Tom Clancy shooter, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. When I got my hands on it at last year’s E3, I fell in love, and that feeling has not subsided; rather, it has grown as time has passed. Now, Ubisoft, via developer Loot Drop, is giving us Ghost Recon on Facebook, with Ghost Recon Commander. Normally, I wouldn̵...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Gets a PC Date and System Requirements

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is easily one of my most anticipated titles for calendar year 2012. I loved my experience with it at E3 last year, and everything I’ve seen supporting it over the last few months has been absolutely spectacular. I’ll be playing on the Xbox 360, since I currently lack a PC capable of playing even the simplest of games, but with today’s announcement of G...[Read More]

Review: Wheels of Destruction (PSN)

Vehicular combat has always been a mixed bag for me. I’ve dabbled with the likes of Twisted Metal, but never found it particularly satisfying. The most recent iteration, in fact, managed to keep my attention for about half an hour before I found myself feeling done. On the other hand, I absolutely LOVED Streets of Sim City, though that may have more to do with my adoration of Sim City than a...[Read More]

Orcs Must Die! Gets A Sequel

Last year, Orcs Must Die! gave the world a proper introduction to development studio Robot Entertainment on XBLA and PC. Following up the incredibly entertaining and high quality experience of Orcs Must Die! is difficult, but Robot has decided to do just that, less than one year later, with the release of Orcs Must Die! 2, tentatively scheduled for a summer 2012 release. Unlike its predecessor, ho...[Read More]
