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...
Fight off the evil BAK’LAAG by rising to the occasion, finish your games
It’s moments like yesterday when I press that familiar “purchase” button that I realize I’m drowning in my backlog. Thanks to platforms like Humble Bundle and Steam, with all of those crazy deals my game library just keeps growing and growing. The amount of unfinished content is piling up, and it’s really starting to bog me down. When I clicked...
Call of Duty: Ghosts shows its multiplayer muscle; so, what’s new?
So, here at Vulgamer some of you might know Briley and the sort of games he likes to play. Me, on the other hand, well who the fuck am I? Essentially, I’ll play a bit of everything. Over the next coming weeks and months you’ll get to know me better as we build this site into something much better. Of course, you’re...

Holy shitballs, the new Humble Bundle includes eight awesome EA games through Origin
Alright, Origin sucks. We know that. We all know that very well. Let’s move on. The latest Humble Bundle is fucking insane! Eight ridiculously awesome games for less than five bucks, unless you decide to be a nice person and donate more. If you do give more money to charity, then I applaud you. You are such a lovely person...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt cinematic trailer is out, Geralt is still slaying monsters
CD Projekt Red has released a new cinematic trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and it’s fantastic. It looks like the final installment in the franchise will be filled with all of the same genius that made The Witcher 2 one of the best mature themed RPGs in the past few years. Of course, Projekt Red has always been...
Vulgamification [Metal Gear Rising Revengeance]: A whole lot of slicing and dicing, without all of the “la le lu le lo” shit
It’s not often that we see a franchise spin-off that isn’t a complete flop. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is one such spin-off of the aptly named Metal Gear series. It clearly ditches the slower strategic gameplay, and adopts more of a hack and slash in-your-face action attitude. You play as Raiden, a beefed up cyborg ninja dude who’s on a...
According to a writer from Bioware, the gaming industry may be a little more diverse than you think
I try to stay away from what I call “hotspots” as much as possible. Hotspots, or at least my definition of the word, are topics guaranteed to reel in a broad audience generally consisting of enraged individuals. When producing content, I do my best not to segregate on levels of race, gender or even sexuality. In fact, I do my...
Only Saints Row IV Would Have the Special Edition to End All Special Editions
In order to drive more and more “brand new” game sales, developers and publishers have been coming up with more and more ways to entice us into pre-ordering or buying special editions. A lot of the time, it’s 20 bucks here or maybe an extra 50 – 70 bucks on top to get a figurine, in-game content and more. Games...
New Monster Hunter 4 trailer released, makes us desire a US localization
So, the new Monster Hunter 4 trailer was released yesterday. It shows more of the same gameplay and visuals as previous iterations in the series. If you’re into hunting monsters and boosting your arsenal for hours on end -and I most certainly am- then the next installment will be right up your alley. I have Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for...
