New Darksiders II Trailer Released
THQ is gearing up for the imminent release of Darksiders II with the release of a new trailer, titled “Last Sermon.” Is it another live action trailer, or is it an illuminating and exciting gameplay trailer directly from the game? The trailer is provided below for your viewing enjoyment, so go ahead and get watching. I’m absolutely looking forward to this title, because come on, ...[Read More]
THQ Announces Darksiders II Summer of Death Promotion
Currently scheduled for August release on PC and console, Darksiders II is set to follow-up THQ’s 2010 critical darling Darksiders (apparently banned in the United Arab Emirates for “contradicting with the UAE’s customs and traditions”). Darksiders II will take place along a similar timeline as its predecessor, but will feature the Horseman Death, rather than the Horseman W...[Read More]
E3 2012: South Park: The Stick of Truth Coming March 5, Favoring 360
While the fate of the South Park RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth, was considered up in the air by many due to THQ’s recent problems, Microsoft has made an effort to assuage our fears and reaffirm our hopes during their E3 press conference today, as they had Trey Parker and Matt Stone present the E3 2012 trailer for their title. Why was this multi-platform title presented at the Microsoft...[Read More]
Saints Row: The Third Gets Penthouse Pets
Have you been itching for some more crazy action in Saints Row: The Third? Today, THQ has released yet another DLC pack for their uniquely strange title. The Penthouse Pets pack features four well known female stars of the printed page: Nikki Benz, Justine Joli, Ryan Keely, and Heather Vandeven. For the low price of $3/240MSP, you can have these vicious vixens run rampant through the streets of Sa...[Read More]
Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix Coming Soon
Now, as many of you may remember, on April 1st (aka, April Fools Day), an email went out to the press joking about new Saints Row: The Third expansion, titled, “Enter The Dominatrix.” I, of course, laughed at this “news” and joked with a friend at Volition that, while fake, it was a great idea, and should totally come out. Since that day, I’ve crossed my fingers that ...[Read More]
Review: Nexuiz (XBLA)
The third entry in the House Party event for this year, Nexuiz is fast. More than any other word, that one best describes the frenetic and exhilarating experience of any of the game modes that Nexuiz has to offer. Sure, the name may be a dorky carryover from the Quake mod that inspired it, and yeah, you might find a deeper story in a Gallant and Goofus comic from a Highlights magazine you pick up ...[Read More]
Review: Pictionary: Ultimate Edition (360)
I have made recent mention of my incredible lack of artistic talent. That has not changed in the short time between that mention and this reminder. This supercharged deficiency makes a game like Pictionary particularly frustrating for anyone unlucky enough to be paired with me, and particularly satisfying and entertaining for anyone lucky enough to be positioned against me. So what game do I decid...[Read More]
Review: uDraw Game Tablet & Studio Instant Artist (360)
I have a lot of respect for good artists. It’s not easy to do what they do, and it takes either preternatural talent, or lots of training to do it. I’m a terrible artist. Even something as simple as a stick figure ends up looking like an attempt at drawing a straight line during an earthquake, tornado, volcanic eruption, and mimicking Dave Gahan in Depeche Mode’s video for Everyt...[Read More]
Review: Apples to Apples (XBLA)
There’s a great knock-knock joke that I like to tell every now and then. It goes a little something…like this: “Knock-knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Knock-knock…etc.” This continues until the teller decides to change it from “Banana” to “Orange,” and the punchline changes to “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana again?...[Read More]
Review: Voltron: Defender of the Universe (XBLA)
When I first heard that a Voltron game was coming to XBLA, I was pretty excited. As a kid, it was one of the staple cartoons that I would watch. What’s not to love? Giant mechanical lions piloted by space heroes, an even more giant mechanical hero that the lions transform into, and ridiculous dialogue from even more ridiculous enemies; everything you could want in a classic, as the later Pow...[Read More]
Dawn of War II Games on Sale for Cheap
Yep, THQ has gone mad. With the new stand-alone expansion coming in just a few days, they have slashed the prices on both Dawn of War II titles. And by slashed, I mean they made them nearly free.
When Will You Be Able To See Guillermo del Toro’s Lovecraftian Game?
That’s right. Just to remind you who have forgotten, the mind behind Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies is making an H.P. Lovecraft style horror game with THQ. The best part? We’ll be able to see it soon.
