Okay everyone, this week we need to talk about butts. I know, I can hear your groaning. Nobody likes to talk about butts, right? But here we are. Blizzard’s new shooter Overwatch comes out in May, and its beta has managed to create controversy over butts. Now, I’m not stupid. As someone who has been following […]
The big rumors out of last week’s GDC are that both Sony and Microsoft are working on a mid-console-generation upgrade. Microsoft’s Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, is proposing “more hardware innovation in the console space,” and an end to the era in which “consoles lock the hardware and the software platforms together at the beginning of the […]
About four years ago, Blizzard unleashed Diablo III on the world. Diablo III is an always-online game in which even the single-player campaign required players to first connect to the online servers. As a result, most early adopters recall seeing a few instances of this. Blizzard took a lot of heat for the botched launch of Diablo 3, and […]
I love The Getaway. I really do. It’s one of my all time favorite games and I find myself thinking about this game and what the franchise could do in 2016 a lot. Let’s step back a little. The Getaway is a PlayStation 2 game released in 2002. It is a open world crime game […]
Full disclosure: Playing the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End multiplayer beta/stress test was the first time I’ve ever touched any Uncharted game. I don’t know much of anything about the series other than that Nathan Drake is voiced by Nolan North, and he has Hollywood-style good looks. So I’m looking at this multiplayer from the perspective of a […]
It’s almost been a year since Mortal Kombat X came out last year as a great fighting game package for both tournament-level and casual players, but the new release of Mortal Kombat XL, including the new Kombat Pack 2 characters and all other DLC released to this point, is the biggest update to Netherrealm’s highly […]
I love the Hitman games. My favorite, like many, is Blood Money. It had large sandbox levels to explore and play in. Finding out all the different ways you could kill your target in these open ended missions was a ton of fun. Hitman Absolution, the follow up to Blood Money, ditched most of those […]
The first time I saw The Division at E3 a couple years back I wasn’t sure what the game was. It looked like an open world… shooter… thing with RPG elements. That first gameplay reveal ended with the trademark Ubisoft ending, you know, the thing where they zoom the camera out and show other players […]
Well, we all knew it had to happen eventually. On February 2, 2016, Warner Bros Games released the trailer for Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The trailer is a complete shot-for-shot recreation of the original The Force Awakens trailer, with lots of Lego’s trademark cutesy humor tossed in for good measure. Awe, poor whiny […]
The first full week of 2016 is almost over and there’s still plenty to look forward for the rest of the year. Virtual reality is really gonna happen this year as the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, was a hotbed for the next big thing in gaming. While the current console generation can potentially have […]
