If you are unlike me and have a loose $500 that is burning a hole in your pocket, the PS4 comes out today. Like the corporate battle we bore witness to at E3, Sony has decided to pull “ahead” of the Xbox one (or as I’ve lovingly started saying, the “Xbone”…ALL HAIL THE PC MASTER […]
There has always been something about Valve as a company. It seems to have this shadowy blob that tends to mask and obscure the very essence of the company’s game development. Rumors and wild speculations by those in the gaming industry (and video game journalists) seem to attribute quite a lot of pageantry to Valve’s […]
Game: Little Big Planet 2 Dev: Media Molecule Platform: Playstation 3 ESRB Rating: E for Everybody With the PS4 looming around the corner (along with the dawn of new consoles promised in the next year or so), I thought it would be nice to put down a review or two from the limited interactions I’ve had […]
Dev: Blizzard/Activision Platform: PC ESRB: Teen I just want to put out there, that I’ve been a huge fan of Starcraft since the beginning. Ever since Jim and Sarah got together back in the 90’s. In fact, I have fond memories of it being my very first strategy game. I was huge into the customizing […]
Let me first begin this by expressing my thanks to those that hosted the convention and put together the awe inspiring event that was Bronycon 2013. Overall, for its size (and it truly was massive at about 8,400+ registered attendees), the con ran incredibly smoothly. There were some issues with long lines and technical difficulties, […]
Movie: Pacific Rim Director: Guillermo del Toro Rated: PG-13 Giant monsters vs other giant things has been a long running genre tradition in movies. Filmmakers have been fascinated by the subject ever since King Kong and Giant Ex-Girlfriend from the golden and silver ages of cinema up to Godzilla and Voltron. Even though these kinds […]
Game: Deadpool Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS3 Dev: High Moon and Activision ESRB: Mature (M) <– Not for the Young’uns. OK, I’m staring this one by saying: “Because this is a ‘family friendly blog’ I am unable to express the sheer mind-blowing properties that this game has to offer”. A couple of years ago, I […]
As E3 (the world renown Electronics Entertainment Expo) gets underway, it seems like a good time to put down my expectations for this year’s video game mecca. You see, E3 is where the great mystics and village elders gather around a gigantic onyx crystal inside the cave of majestic mysteries and consult with the […]
It’s once again time to put on the top hat and monocle and talk a little of the game’s brief history: Bioshock is one of those “Legacy” titles. Legacy in the sense that when you shout “Bioshock” into a crowd of gaming nerds, such as myself, everybody in the room asks “Big Daddy?” There have only been 2 other […]
With the announcement of Xbox One, we finally have a look at the future of console gaming. It’s the Wii U vs Ps4 vs Xbox One as the lineup for holiday spending in 2013 and 2014. My first impression is rather grim, to be honest. Starting with the Wii, my hopes for the then named […]
Every fandom has a Mecca. Every fandom features multiple “must go” places, or rather, events that further along products and ideas that fuel that fanbase for which they are created. These are usually in the form of conventions (such as San Diego Comicon). In gaming, there are several major events, including E3, GenCon, and PAX. This […]
Game Reviewed: Halo 4 Platform: Xbox 360 Developer: 343 Industries A little bit of forewarning here. I’ve been trying to write this review for a couple of weeks now, and discussing it with a few of my friends, I have learned that it is a little controversial. Giving my honest opinion on what I thought of […]
Game: Guild Wars 2 Dev: ArenaNet Platform: PC Website: www.GuildWars2.com The term “Massively Multiplayer Online Game” brings many visions to the mind. Ideas like trudging through grass covered plains, your plate mail chinking and clanking with every step, shoulder guards that reach up high into the sky, and crazy long twisting swords drawn from the hip […]
