The Avengers vs. X-Men event draws ever closer, and in anticipation of hero vs. hero, Marvel will be releasing episodic breakdowns of some of the event’s big battles.
Star Trek Game Moved to Q1 2013
I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Star Wars, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Firefly, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Stargate, but I LOVE STAR TREK. When I discovered that the Paramount appointment my darling wife Lindsey had on her schedule for last year’s E3 was primarily for a new Star Trek game, I traded her any of my appointments that she wanted to get my ass in that chair. I can’t recall which...[Read More]
Ghost Recon Online – Class Overview
Ubisoft is definitely looking to make 2012 the year of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon. One of my more anticipated titles for this year, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, releases this May. Another anticipated title from last year’s E3, however, was Ghost Recon Online. A free-to-play, microtransaction supported online multiplayer PC game, Ghost Recon Online enters closed beta March 5th (you can si...[Read More]
Review: Quarrel (XBLA)
Growing up, I loved playing time-intensive board games. Monopoly? I’m down. Clue? You know it. Risk? At the drop of a hat. I also loved playing word games. Boggle? Oh yeah. Upwords? Of course. Scrabble? I’m a Scrabble fiend… Half a year ago, Quarrel, a beautiful combination of Risk and Scrabble, was released on iOS, and I was instantly enamoured. Now, the original XBLA concept be...[Read More]
Coming Soon: Wheels of Destruction: World Tour (PSN)
Gelid Games is hard at work developing their first title, Wheels of Destruction: World Tour, due to arrive on PSN on Soonday, Soonuary Soonth. Unable to afford $59.99 for Twisted Metal next week? Well, you may be in luck (depending on how soon the arbitrary release window of “soon” really is), because the ambiguously titled Wheels of Destruction: World Tour has some passing similaritie...[Read More]
Price Drop: BloodRayne: Betrayal
BloodRayne: Betrayal was not an easy game. It was, however, a wonderfully entertaining game, if you believe what has been said about it. Now, BloodRayne, the titular dhampir character of BloodRayne: Betrayal, can continue her action-platformer quest against the undead on your console at two-thirds of the original price, thanks to a permanent price cut. 1200MSP / $14.99 is now dropped to 800MSP / $...[Read More]
Fantastic Four: Season One Now Available
I remember recess being one of the highlights of the day when I was but a mischievous little lad in elementary school. We would run out to the field in a direct line to what we referred to as the “big toy,” and disappear. In our places, the superheroes we loved and adored became reality, battling each other around our “big toy” in clashes of epic proportion that would be sp...[Read More]
Skylanders Follow-up Takes a Giant Leap Forward
I know, that’s a terrible title. We generally go for more informative titles, but I’m feeling a bit saucy and wanted to make a stupid title joke, so sue me.Let’s get to the point. Skylanders was a fantastic game for kids and adults, and has spawned an incredibly powerful addiction to little RFID toys that have resulted in sold out shelves and inflated eBay prices. Only a fool wou...[Read More]
NeverDead Ready With MP DLC
NeverDead turns one week old today, and DLC is on the way. The title, which has been receiving a large number of very negative reviews, to my confusion and consternation, is moving forward with the additional content, set to reach consoles on February 21st. Expansion Pack Volume 1, as it’s being called, seems to be a bit short of the content I would expect out of something referred to as an ...[Read More]
Trailers: I Am Alive – Rules & Survivor
Ubisoft’s upcoming title, I Am Alive, has been in development for quite a while. With release scheduled for March 7th as part of XBLA’s House Party promotion, this long awaited title will soon see the light of day. Want to be prepared for surviving the post apocalyptic world that I Am Alive places you in before the game hits? Then you need to make sure you listen to what the game’...[Read More]
Rocksmith Adding Classic Pearl Jam Tracks
I have mentioned this multiple times on this site, but while I may have been born in the very early 80’s, I am a child of the 90’s. I wore wallet chains, baggy shorts that were so long they may as well have been pants, and I was rarely ever without my backwards cap. It was a simpler time, with great style, great games, and great music. Pearl Jam was huge in the 90’s, and while th...[Read More]
Calibur11 Reveals Mass Effect 3 Vault
Limited to a run of 25,000 numbered units, Calibur11 is perhaps unwittingly responsible for what future Internet historians will refer to as “The Great Nerd Rage of 2012,” a major topic of discussion and consternation in future-students Early 21st Century Formative Events history classes. I can only hope against hope that those future-people will be excellent to each other, in much the...[Read More]
