Rooster's Arcade Flashback, Blitz: The League [VIDEO/NSFW]

Rooster — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:51:03 +0000

This is by far one of my favorite video games ever, and if you have never played this game then it’s worth your time and money to find and dust off the old Ps2 and give it a go. Blitz: The League was released in October 2005 and featured Lawrence Taylor of The New York [...]

Aliens: Colonial Marines [VIDEO]

Wes — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:13:29 +0000

I finally got a laptop worthy of some decent games. THIS is the first one I bought and the first time in my life I every preordered or prepaid for a game. Yeah, a 1st person shooter is going to be rough on a laptop, but somebody has to kick those aliens asses and it's gonna be ME. More after the jump.

Plants Versus Zombies 2 Due In Late Spring

Wes — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:00:01 +0000

I would literally rate Plants Versus Zombies one of the top games of all time. It’s fun, it’s entertaining, it’s easy to learn, all ages enjoy the game, and the bonus games are really a true bonus. With raves like this, the question is, “where is Plants Versus Zombies 2?”. More after the jump. The [...]

PS4 to Be Renamed Orbis and Released in Late 2013?

Alex Riviello — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:00:45 +0000

The current console cycle has been one of the strongest ones in history. Everyone’s pretty content with their Xbox 360s and PS3s, and while we’ve mostly forgotten about our Wiis they’re still cranking out the occasional great game. Each successive Playstation has come around six years into the life cycle of the last one. We [...]

Sine Mora Game Review

Alex Riviello — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:03:14 +0000

The oddly titled Sine Mora is a throwback to perhaps the most hardcore of genres, the sidescrolling shooter. Affectionately known to fans as shoot’em ups (shmups in internet-speak), the games featured some of the most challenging gameplay around. Xevious, Gradius, R-Type, M.U.S.H.A., Ikaruga, all classics that relied on superhuman reflexes, the epitome of twitch gaming. [...]

K. Thor Jensen — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:34:40 +0000

The Assassin’s Creed games have become some of Ubisoft’s top performers, and the fifth game in the series (yes, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations throws off the numbering) is set to release on October 30th. Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Game Review

ResidentEvil.com

This is not the Resident Evil you were expecting. Capcom decided to take a detour before the sixth installment of their survival horror series to bring some squad-based multiplayer to the zombie-infested property. To do so they enlisted the help of developer Slant Six Games, the team behind multiple ‘SOCOM’ titles, and the results are a bit mixed.

The Guns of 'Max Payne 3′ Might Have Been Worth the Nine Year Wait

Alex Riviello — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:30:48 +0000

Max Payne knows his way around firearms. ‘Max Payne 3′ sees the return of Rockstar Games’ famous character. In the nine years since we last saw him Max’s character has been through a rough patch, to put it mildly. His addiction to painkillers and alcohol worsened and due to some troubles he ended up leaving [...]

'Angry Birds Space' Review

Alan Tsang — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:25:07 +0000

Developer Rovio has spared no expense promoting the latest iteration of their billion dollar franchise since announcing Angry Birds Space last month. An aggressive marketing campaign, involving big names you don’t usually associate with video games (such as NASA and National Geographic), promises an epic new space adventure for the Birds to embark on. But, does it live up to the hype?

'Mass Effect Infiltrator' Game Review for iPhone

Nick Romano — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:00:04 +0000

In the likely event you’re not like us and don’t have the time to invest hours (and we mean solid hours) of your life into killing as many aliens as you can muster in ‘Mass Effect 3’, you might want to take a gander at ‘Mass Effect Infiltrator.’

Transforming Lego Game Boy Is the Best Toy You Never Had

Mithun Divakaran — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:00:54 +0000

Imagine all your favorite childhood memories combined into one awesome toy. That’s exactly what LEGO fan Julius von Brunk did when he created the ‘Domaster & Tetrawing’ – an amalgamation of the Nintendo Game Boy, the game ‘Tetris’ and Transformers – that is actually a transforming “Nintendobot.” Check out how the Tetris cartridge transforms into the ‘Tetrawing’ robot below. It’ll put your LEGO skills to shame.

'Mass Effect 3′ Fans Use Social Media to Voice Displeasure With Game's Bleak Ending

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:46:18 +0000

‘Mass Effect 3,’ the third installment in the critically acclaimed sci-fi video game franchise, promised a “definitive conclusion” for the series’ user-generated protagonist Commander Shepard. And although ‘ME3′ only came out last week, apparently enough gamers have gotten to the end of the game fast enough to conclude that its conclusion stinks. According to disgruntled ‘Mass Effect’ fans, there [...]

'MLB 12: The Show' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:00:47 +0000

Like a grizzled veteran who rocks a shelf full of MVP trophies and is unthreatened by any up-and-comers on the farm system, ‘MLB 12: The Show‘ no longer has the eye of the tiger. Instead, it just coasts, does the awesome things you expect it to do and calls it a day.

'Street Fighter X Tekken' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:00:55 +0000

‘Street Fighter X Tekken’ reminds us of that bathtub scene in Billy Madison when Adam Sandler pits a bottle of shampoo and conditioner in a deathmatch. It’s nearly as ridiculous a proposition — and somehow just as fitting — to pit the two-dimensional, projectile-happy Street Fighters against the 3D shuffle-meisters from the world of Tekken.

Meet Jessica, The 'Lollipop Chainsaw' Girl [VIDEO]

Danny Gallagher — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:00:49 +0000

If you think the cute, pixelated blond cheerleader starring in the upcoming disembowled-zombie fest ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ is hot, you should see her real world counterpart Jessica. This blond beauty was one of 15 finalists chosen to be the flesh and blood version of Juliet Starling, star of the upcoming video game ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ written by [...]

This Is How Chuck Norris Would Play Super Mario Bros.

Mithun Divakaran — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:34:58 +0000

If you grew up in the 1980s, chances are you know how the first level of Super Mario Bros. is played. That first level is etched into the heads of every video gamer, whether you played it on the original NES or not. Now imagine how that first level would have played out had it been martial arts legend Chuck Norris in the game, instead of the Italian plumber we all know and love.

The Xappr Gun: My Smartphone's Boomstick

Danny Gallagher — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:00:35 +0000

If you thought your smartphone couldn’t suck more time out of your day, think again. Now it has a machine gun attachment, ho ho ho. The Xappr Gun is the first peripheral that attaches to your iPhone or Android device to turn it into a true gun gaming experience. The Xappr Gun uses the phone’s motion sensitive [...]

Blast Zombies In 'The Walking Dead' Adventure Game 'Dead Reckoning'

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:38:10 +0000

‘The Walking Dead‘ is back Sunday February 12th, after a month-and-a-half hiatus. And to celebrate the return of the hit AMC show, a companion adventure game ‘Dead Reckoning’ is now available to play for free. In the game, you are small town police officer Shane Walsh.

'Gotham City Impostors' Makes Fighting Like Batman Fun, Even in Hockey Pads [REVIEW]

Danny Gallagher — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:00:41 +0000

The ‘Batman’ franchise has officially become a gaming juggernaut thanks to the groundbreaking immersion gameplay of ‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’ and ‘Arkham City.’These titles, highly approved by comic book nerds, for their great attention to the source materials, and by gamers, for their stylish designs and deep gameplay, opened new doors not just for ‘The Dark [...]

'Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning' Is a Fastball of an RPG [REVIEW]

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:00:01 +0000

You met ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ and fell in love at first dragon bite. You gazed into its eyes and started to spend all your time together, questing looting and slaying. It was true love. Your torrid affair may have started off hot and heavy, but you two have since drifted apart as the [...]
