Rockers, we are already a third of the way through September; that’s right soon we will have to wake Billie Joe Armstrong up for Spooky season. If you do not get that joke then you might enjoy some of the games on the September 2022 PS+ and Games with Gold offers. Over the last year, the PlayStation Plus lineup has gradually become more impressive while the Games with Gold lineup has gone do...[Read More]
Yesterday, Nintendo shadow dropped the announcement of a Nintendo Mini Direct for today, June 28th. The June 2022 Nintendo Mini Direct focused on many upcoming 3rd party releases heading to Nintendo Switch. The showcase lasted approximately 26 minutes, resulting in an abundance big of announcements!
Many gamers have joked, over the years, about the Switch being a mini Steam machine. Many games, both exclusive to the platform or just available on, have trickled their way onto Nintendo Switch. One glaring omission for many years has been Valve’s award-winning franchise, Portal, besides 2017’s Bridge Constructor spinoff. Confirmed during today’s Nintendo Direct, the influential...[Read More]

Let’s just assume that you’re social enough to have people visit your home on a semi-regular basis. With that assumption firmly in place, surely you want some way to protect your kickass giant Nintendo controller table from the vile and destructive forces of condensation? Let ThinkGeek take care of you with their Portal 2 Warning Sign coasters. Eight coasters in all, each one depicts a...[Read More]
It may not be something that we all think about often, but looking back over some of gaming’s notable heroes, there have been those whom have been very vocal about their ambitions and those who’ve played it quietly and cool. How does that affect our perceptions of those characters, what impact does it have on the way we perceive the games we play and is one better than the other? Well,...[Read More]
This years’ offering at E3 by Razer contained a little of their current offerings with a little of some interesting new devices. I’ll be highlighting their new products, including new mice, keyboards, headsets and even discuss the Switchblade project, which holds much promise. Fans of the Portal or Star Wars franchises will be catered to quite nicely with the peripherals on offer.
Just a few months ago, I called the XBLA version of Torchlight the most fun I’d had gaming so far in 2011. Portal 2 dethroned it, and I’m afraid that this fall’s Neverwinter is going to bump it slightly more, but none of this changes the fact that Torchlight will still be one of my top 2011 games. At E3, I was privileged enough to sit down and play through one of the random event...[Read More]
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]
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]
Not only is that a rather clever headline, but it’s the truth. The PS3 is the first console to have Steam support, Portal 2 is how you get it, and we have the details here.
Portal 2 is almost a month away and Valve wants to make sure you don’t forget it! Coming soon to TVs everywhere are GLaDOS and her robot friends in a new trailer commercial for the much-anticipated sequel to the highly-revered Portal. I’m a sucker for cute things, and these robots are definitely to my liking.
