Sup gamers, Protoype II came out this week. In it, you’re a soldier with powers that turn you into a diabolical wrecking ball of monsterism. You murder soldiers with the greatest of ease, kill helicopters by ripping them in twain with your tendrils and hurl a slew of curse words. But does anyone care? A [...]
Hold onto your seats for this wild and wacky adventure in video game land. Q, our resident Diablo fan, is unhappy with Diablo 3, Break slowly falls in love with Fez and hates EA’s “Online Universes”, and the gang bitch and moan over the newest Sony game. Are you sure you’re all ready to jump [...]
When she says “now,” she means “when the Boss Wave is over.”
“The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings” is out on Xbox 360, and if you haven’t bought it already, you really should because it’s excellent (I know, I know, review forthcoming). But in spite of its greatness, the game has one problem: it has no idea how to teach you to play. The “tutorial” prologue is [...]
So I played the Diablo 3 Open Beta over the weekend. A lot of people did, I’m sure. Maybe I went into this thing expecting more or something. I mean, I’m not usually the type; I expected Michael Bay’s Transformers to be meh and got what I expected, so I enjoyed it regardless. But this… [...]
Starting TODAY at noon (PST), gamers everywhere will be able to download and play through the Diablo III beta. Both Erika and myself have been playing it for the last few weeks, and the game is a blast! The download can be found here. Currently, players can create characters of all five classes, with a cap [...]
Eat that, people who don’t believe in God. This morning we got an email from the folks at Bethesda confirming that “Prey 2″ will come out after all, but has been delayed into 2013 at least. Here’s the email: “Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled but the game will not be released in [...]
Well, the mystery didn’t last long. After we wondered what Playstation’s Facebook page could possibly be referencing for all of twelve hours, Amazon leaked the trailer for “God of War: Ascension,” the next entry in Kratos’ endless quest to be the biggest dick humanly possible. The trailer tells us almost nothing, but it does seem [...]
I wasn’t really a huge fan of “Prototype,” but it’s one of those games I could see benefitting from a more refined, precise sequel, so I’ve kept my eyes on the development of “Prototype 2.” Here’s an enticing video describing Pack Leaders, a fearsome-looking enemy.
Sony has this picture up on its Facebook page, promising some kind of reveal on 4.19.12, which by a crazy coincidence is tomorrow. So what the hell is this thing? I mean, I guess we’re going to find out, but here’s your chance to get “told you so” points. My guess is “God of [...]
Sup gamers, Crysis 3 was announced this week by EA and Crytek and well… it looks a lot like someone smushed parts 1 and 2 together. You’re still in New York (from the last game), but the premise now is that a giant forcefield dubbed the Liberty Dome has encased New York and transformed it [...]
In this episode, we sit down for a heart-to-heart with Shadowrun and Shadowrun Returns creator Jordan Weisman! We talk about the impact of Kickstarter on the industry, the features and gameplay of the upcoming strategy game Shadowrun Returns, and maybe even talk about some Skies that are Crimson! After the interview, stick with us to [...]
Rumors abound that Valve is currently neck-deep in the design of some kind of hardware. Of course, besides an obnoxiously coy job posting, Newell and his merry band have been predictably tight-lipped on the subject. What are those tricksy hobbits up to, damn it? If you ask me, it’s almost certainly a console of some [...]
It’s something I haven’t really thought about much, to be honest, and I’m not sure how many of us have; there doesn’t seem to be a lot of talk about this concept on Teh Intarwebs, relatively speaking. But in my research for tonight’s interview with Jordan Weisman of Shadowrun and WizKids fame, I couldn’t help but [...]
Out of nowhere, Bethesda has announced that last year’s hit RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will receive an update adding Kinect support to the XBox 360 version of the game. Don’t believe me? Check out their trailer (courtesy of IGN) below: I’m curious if the voice commands are as delayed as those found in Mass Effect [...]
On the next episode of The Game Show, we will be interviewing industry LEGEND Jordan Weisman! Mr. Weisman is the creator of Shadowrun, MechWarrior, and the founder of WizKids (you know, that company responsible for HeroClix and Mage Knight). He is currently heading up game studio Harebrained Schemes, who has recently begun a Kickstarter project [...]
Sup gamers, As we barrel down on Bioshock Infinite’s release date of October 16, Irrational Games and 2K are drip-feeding us with pre-packaged video docs on the more terrifying enemies of Ken Levine’s latest. If you thought the random denizens of Rapture gave you the willies, or the Big Daddies and Big Sisters haunted your [...]

I keep waiting to see something about Ninja Theory’s “Devil May Cry” reboot that I don’t hate, but so far, no dice. This new trailer, which popped up on NeoGAF recently by way of the Penny Arcade and DMC forums, isn’t terrible, but it’s also not winning me over. There’s just no getting past Dante’s [...]
It’s yours truly again with more knowledge, laid out for you on a silver platter of black and white pixels on a screen. So, there’s a paradigm shift coming. It’s a doozy. The gaming industry will forever change in the next 5 years, and while we can’t say if it’s for good or ill, it’s [...]
