Agent 47 Returns With A New Hit….Man
Yeah baby! E3 is less than a month away and I’m already doing a happy dance. Why? Because Agent 47, one of the biggest badasses around, will be making his triumphant return hopefully later on this year.
Square Enix Stakes A Claim on Dead Island
Techland and Deep Silver’s zombie survival experience just got a North American publisher. Square Enix is now going to make sure that we all get to see what the zombie apocalypse does to a idyllic vacation spot.
Virtua Tennis 4 PS Move Trailer
There’s not really a lot to say about SEGA’s latest “trailer” for Virtua Tennis 4. There’s not a lot of new information (and by not a lot, I think I mean there’s actually no new information at all), and it’s quite short. The gameplay portions are not actual gameplay footage, so I have no idea if the two human players who seem to be taking the game so serio...[Read More]
The Philosophical Question of the PSN Outage
Is online connectivity really all it’s cracked up to be? In the wake of Sony completely losing their online service for over a week, I just have to ask one potentially-obvious-but-maybe-not question: Do we as gamers really need online? In this modern era of gaming where so much is convenient and instantaneous, is online service a necessity, the future of gaming, a perk that we take for grant...[Read More]
Portal 2 DLC Announced
You know how I feel about Portal 2. It’s the only game I’ve given a perfect score (and may, in fact, be the only game that we, as a whole, have given a perfect score to, though some others have come tantalizingly close). The only imperfect thing about it is that there weren’t more test chambers, gameplay modes, or leaderboards. If ONLY there were some way to add those features po...[Read More]
Sony’s Betrayal
April 25th: Some people may or may not know this, but reviewers for Marooner’s Rock typically have to buy the games we review. Occasionally we might get lucky, but for most games I post about, I have to spend my hard earned money on. I like to think that by spending my money, I can help other people spend theirs more wisely. When the games are great, it makes it more than worth it. When they are b...[Read More]
Ubisoft Releases New Child of Eden Trailer to Get You in the Mood
If any of you out there reading this own a 360 but don’t have a Kinect yet, go do so before June 14th. Why? Because Child of Eden is going to be ridiculously badass.
Buy One Alice Get One Free
As if the upcoming Alice: Madness Returns wasn’t going to deliver enough Wonderland inspired insanity into your homes, EA has gone one step above and beyond by making the original PC only classic available on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live. What’s more, if you buy a new copy of Madness Returns, you get that game for free.
Review: Section 8: Prejudice (XBLA)
I’m generally not a fan of XBLA shooters. I’m generally even less a fan of XBLA shooters that poorly attempt to emulate the gameplay or design of full price retail release shooters. With those particular prejudices (hurr-hurr, see what I did there?) already in place, it would seem that I would be an odd fit to review Section 8: Prejudice, a first-person shooter based on a full price re...[Read More]
Anarchy Reigns Character Bio: Nikolai
It’s been another month since our last look at Anarchy Reigns, and today SEGA has released the seventh character bio. So far we’ve seen ninja, ice queens, mechanical bulls (with JET HAMMERS.), a super pimp, and more. What new oddity have we received today? Well, while he may not end up being my favorite character to play as (due to the lack of a fragging JET. HAMMER.), he will probably...[Read More]
Review: Portal 2 (360)
I spent the latter half of this past Saturday humming random bars from Jonathan Coulton’s brilliantly written ending credits song for the original Portal, Still Alive (We do what we must, because we can…)* After a handful of bars, my wife turned to me and asked, with more than a hint of exasperation, “Am I going to have to listen to you humming that all weekend?” I regretfu...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat Sets Really Weird Records
The people at Guinness have a lot of free time and like to count things. Somehow they have turned this into a career. Today we look at the things they have counted in relation to Mortal Kombat, a game series which, surprise surprise, has a new installment coming out next Tuesday. God I love being topical.
