Check Out This Insane Footage From "Battlefield 4″ [VIDEO]

Wes — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:00:23 +0000

I love first person shooters and just recently got back into gaming. I've done a little "Aliens: Colonial Marines" and some "Left 4 Dead 2". The footage from Battlefield 4 makes both those games look like they were made 5 years ago. Now, you guys are more experienced than me, but this looks about as realistic as it gets. More after the jump.

Wes — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:00:15 +0000

One of Marvels most off-the-wall characters is set to star in a new video game. Deadpool “The ‘merc with a mouth” will be featured on a cross-platform game coming in December. In anticipation of the release Marvel & Activision have already released a trailer and are taking pre-orders. Details after the jump. Deadpool has superhuman [...]

Aliens: Colonial Marines Rocks [Review]

Wes — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:39:03 +0000

I'm not a very good person to review video/computer games. I basically took a break from the whole mess for about 15 years. For that same reason, I may be able to offer you a pretty fresh viewpoint on the whole thing. I'm not going to give stars or tech specs or anything, but I can tell you the good and the bad in pretty simple terms. More after the jump.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Drops Today [VIDEO]

Wes — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:00:40 +0000

Who’s ready to whoop a little Xenomorph butt? This guy! You bet! After a lot of attempts to put the “Alien” into a video game, it looks like they’ve finally got it right. I’m ready to pounce on the acid spitting menaces this evening. More after the jump. Yeah, I went the pre-order route for [...]

Marvel: Avengers Alliance-A Facebook Game Worth Getting Hooked On

Wes — Fri, 25 May 2012 01:00:53 +0000

I HATED "turn-based" role-playing games. I know a lot of people loved the early Final Fantasy type games when you threw a spell during your turn and it did "x' amount of points of damage, then the monster did something and did 'z' amount of damage to you. I thought they sucked, and now I'm hooked on what is just a slightly bigger version of those type of games. More after the jump.

'Madden NFL 13′ Cover Lets You Be The Ball

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:30:18 +0000

If you’ve ever wondered what a football might see as it speeds into the outstretched arms of Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, wonder no more. Also, you need better things to think about in your spare time. The Madden NFL 13 cover, which is sure to curse Johnson into a season-ending journey, is already out [...]

Play Original 'Wolfenstein' For Free On Your Browser

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:30:12 +0000

Back in the early 1990s, all it took to qualify a shooter as “great” was that it was better than Duck Hunt. And few were better than Duck Hunt. But in 1992, the pioneering first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D certainly hit that qualification. We had more fun than we’d care to admit digging up gold bars, [...]

'The King of Fighters 2012′ Mobile Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:30:18 +0000

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s nowhere on an iPhone to plug in an arcade-style fighting stick. That means we’re stuck with touch controls that try to replicate arcade setups, which is about as easy as playing handball while wearing oven mitts. Credit SNK Playmore for figuring out how to smack some mean three-wall crotch [...]

Will 'Dead Space 3′ Trade Space Station Corridors for a Winter Wonderland?

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:00:36 +0000

Rumor has it drastic changes are afoot for the Dead Space series, which replicates the thrills and chills of the Alien movies so well that it practically feels as though Ridley Scott cribbed from the notebook of Dead Space hero Isaac Clarke. But there are so many metallic corridors you can slink through before things start to get a little old, which is why we’re pleased to hear the setting for the third game is supposedly set on an icy planet.

Jiggly Boobs, See-Thru Shirts Star In 'Dead or Alive 5′

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 02 May 2012 18:00:35 +0000

The Dead or Alive fighter series has always worked its sales pitches like this: Come for the bouncing racks sported by its comely fighters, stay for the balanced brawling and finely-tuned physics. Developer Team Ninja, which is far better known for its solid Ninja Gaiden series, knows how to observe and appreciate the beauty of [...]

'God of War: Ascension' Will Stage a Multiplayer Orgy Of Blood

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 01 May 2012 13:30:43 +0000

Like a dude using a laptop with his pants around his ankles, Kratos has always been known for doing his own thing. The rage-fueled Spartan has gotten his rocks off by slashing enemies into oblivion. Everyone onscreen, even innocent bystanders, were nothing but fleshy balloons to be popped into red level-up orbs. But his next game, God of War Ascension, will change all that.

3DS Update Lets You Get Organized

Phil Villarreal — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:30:01 +0000

There has been a metric poop ton of 3DS games and apps worth downloading, but the more you snatched up, the harder it became to access your stuff. The system’s aggravating interface lined up your games into a never-ending row of boxes, making it take forever to get to whatever you’re looking for. But, if you download the latest system update, you can finally reshape the menu.

'Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective' Mobile Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:15:40 +0000

The fact that a game is great on a DS doesn’t mean its iOS port will be as impressive, or even playable. Some people yearn for Nintendo-sanctioned Mario Kart or Metroid to come to mobile, but that prospect sickens us. Some games just require buttons. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, though, is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It plays as though it was built from the ground up for iStuff.

Japanese Nintendo 3DS Game Is Overflowing With Massive Anime Boobs

Phil Villarreal — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:05:51 +0000

Ah, Japan. A land where sexual self-exploration and gaming go hand in… pants. The Senran Kagura franchise, in which you control big-boobed female ninjas who lose more clothing the more damage they take, embraces its dirtiness. The game, which makes use of the 3DS by having breast parts strategically pop out of the screen, is [...]

'Rayman Origins 2′ is In The Works

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:00:29 +0000

Sometimes really cool games come along that hardly anyone wants to pay for — An example is Rayman Origins, a divine platormer that got critics all hot and bothered but couldn’t find much in the way of sales. It’s rare that games that struggle to sell get sequels, but it looks like the hop-happy, limbless [...]

'Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:00:48 +0000

Real-time strategy snobs insist that the only platform their games of choice work on is the PC, and for good reason. There are almost no examples of excellent RTS games on consoles, due to clunky gamepad controls. And there are none on handhelds because the screens are too small. But now the iPad, with ample [...]

Harley Quinn Wants a Piece Of You In 'Arkham City' Re-Release

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:00:47 +0000

Learn this lesson well, gamers — when a great game comes out that everyone gushes over, don’t buy it. Just forget about the flavor of the week and hold tight as revelers keep shelling out dough for downloadable add-ons as the months pass. Eventually, if the game is good enough, it will come out again [...]

'Street Fighter X Tekken' Now Has Downloadable Update

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:00:14 +0000

In what we’d like to believe is a reaction to Tekken makers’ subtle smack-talk, but in reality is probably just a coincidence, Capcom has issued a free update for Street Fighter X Tekken. Pop the disc in your Xbox 360 or PS3, and a quick download later you’ll have a better game.

'House of the Dead 4′ Game Review

Alan Tsang — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:07:53 +0000

Here’s a little history lesson for you kids out there — In the 90′s, light gun games were at the zenith of their popularity. Games like Lethal Enforcers and Virtua Cop lined the arcades. The overpowering allure of wielding a plastic gun against virtual zombies and terrorists wasn’t something most guys could resist. The House [...]

Halo 4′s Official Release Date Announced

Alex Riviello — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:17:24 +0000

Now that 343 Industries has taken over the Halo series from Bungie, they’re hard at work on the fourth installment of the best-selling series. They’ve decided to release the date for the trailer via Red Vs Blue, the goofy machinima webseries from Rooster Teeth. If you’re rather not watch the trailer just know that it’s set [...]
