It’s not exactly a secret that Nintendo isn’t doing brilliantly right now, the Wii U is flagging and the 3DS platform is only just beginning to show its strengths. The handheld side of things seem to be where the money is for Nintendo right now so, what do they go and do? Throw more hardware at it, because of course, that’s Nintendo’s...
Vulgamification [Beastie Bay]: A Pokemon style simulation game that kicks ass
The sheer amount of mobile games out there is absurd. That being said, it’s not often that I actually come across the game I play in my free time. Most of the mobile games I install I play for a little while to kill time while I’m away from home or traveling on the road. Other than that, I never...
Guild Wars 2 free to play all weekend [August 23-25], Heroic Edition now available for noobs
If you’ve been waiting to try Guild Wars 2, now’s probably one of the best opportunities to get in on the action! Why? I stole this shit right from the official blog, but long story short it’s a free weekend for everyone! That means I’ll probably be avoiding it like the plague for the next few days, but we’ll see....
According to Gamestop, Sony is in the lead
Microsoft and Sony may be directly competing for our attention and hard-earned money, but we’re the ones who really benefit in the long-haul if competition is healthy. Seriously, Microsoft did a complete 360 (pun intended) and reversed DRM policies for the Xbox One because of consumer backlash. They realized pretty quickly that if things were left as-is, potential Xbox One...
HabitRPG: Turn your life into a fucking video game
I’m sure on the outside, it looks like gamers live in a complete fantasy world. I mean, who in their right fucking mind would think it’s alright to sit on their ass all day in front of the TV or computer and do absolutely nothing productive? I’m sure gamers don’t see it that way, but you can be damn sure...
Vulgamification [Risen 2 Dark Waters]: Strangely enough, the f-bomb sums it up
Fuck. Fucking. Fuck-off. Fucker. Fuck-all. That sure is a lot of f-bombs right there, and it doesn’t help that they’re packed tightly into a small space. Strictly speaking, that pretty much sums up this entire game. No joke. In Risen 2 you will hear the f-bomb a lot -whether that be from cutscenes, in-game dialogue, or your own mouth- there’s...
PS4 launch date and initial lineup revealed, coming November 15th
With the recent news that Microsoft announced the launch lineup for the Xbox One, it only seems fair to highlight some Playstation 4 related news too. Sony fired back with the actual release date of the Playstation 4, which is November 15th (North America) and November 29th (Europe). As planned, the console will be available for $399. Currently, the launch...
Borderlands 2 is coming to the PS Vita
Sony announced during their Gamescom 2013 presser that Borderlands 2 is coming to the PS Vita. Yes folks, that’s right. Gearbox’s incredibly successful RPG-shooter hybrid will be making it’s way to a handheld device. Fucking awesomeeee. There’s no word yet on how the DLC will be handled, or if it will even be available. I suppose now is a better...
Microsoft reveals the Xbox One launch lineup
At the Gamescom showcase today for Microsoft’s upcoming next-gen console, the company announced the full list of titles that will be available for the Xbox One at launch. That lineup includes the following: Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (Ubisoft, Ubisoft) Battlefield 4 (DICE, Electronic Arts) Call of Duty: Ghosts (Infinity Ward, Activision) Crimson Dragon (Grounding/Land Ho!, Microsoft Studios) Dead Rising...
Opinionated: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, destroyer of friendships!
I normally prefer to play multiplayer games. I feel that a social element is only beneficial to the whole entertainment experience. However, sometimes it’s a gambit, and this is one of those times. A lot of people I meet think of themselves as true contenders when it comes to this game, which is why battles get so heated. The funny thing...
Opinionated: My “experience” has evolved, is it from personal growth or an industry change?
This is probably going to be one of the strangest editorials I’ve ever written, if only because of the topic and the context. Because of that simple fact, I have a feeling the audience for this will be mixed. Some people will really understand the brevity of what I’m saying, while others will snicker and talk shit. That’s alright, go...
Briley’s Weekend Haunts [August 17-18]
It seems like every time I unleash one of these things I spend a little time talking about a Humble Bundle. This time it’s because of the Humble Origin Bundle, which is packed with a fuckton of awesome EA games. What’s not to love about it? Plus, all the money that would normally be going to EA or Origin is...
