If you’re on the East Coast, you probably spent your gaming budget this week on canned food and bottled water, so you couldn’t afford to pick up Deus Ex Human Revolution at its fifty dollar launch price. Well, lucky for you, the PC Downloadable version of the game is already on sale at Amazon.
Despite not being picked up by Fox,
Locke & Key keeps coming up in the news. Only a month
after the failed pilot’s screening at Comic-Con, a trailer meant for
advertisers has been released online. The adaption of the comic
series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez was passed on by Fox during
the Network Upfronts a few months ago. After shopping the pilot
around cable stations, the series still isn’t any closer to finding a
home.
The story of Locke and Key
centered around a family who moves into a new home that is full of
supernatural secrets. Bringing with them the grief over their
patriarch’s untimely death, the Locke family is now caught up in the
strange and dangerous occurrences in and around Key House.
The Xbox Live Indie Games Summer Uprising nears the end of its first week with today’s offering of T.E.C. 3001. T.E.C. is one of the more visually striking indie games in the promotion, and puts players in the metal feet of an android that jumps his way through 21 levels of 3-D platforming with a playstyle similar to Canabalt.
Looking to buy? Searching
for that dream house on Perfect Lane with the white picket fence, grand oak in
the front yard and kindly neighbors Joe and Jane Smith living right next door?
Well then, be cautious of these components and not just for the sake of
potential repairs. Toss any number and any combination of these earmarks
together and you have the devious makings of an apparitional abode; a creepy
castle; a haunted house. Troy Nixy directs the horror tale Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark with godfathering from Guillermo Del
Toro which is due in theatres this Friday, so we thought we would run down ten
of the most abundant hallmarks of a domicile with frequent bumps in the night.
Two sequels to popular mythological-based action flicks will christen our docket this week on Player Affinity beginning with Underworld: Awakening, which marks the return of Kate Beckinsale and is the fourth entry in the popular vampire/werewolf franchise.
Us PC gamers will have to be a little less smug from now on, because one of our best publishers is going to start releasing games for one of the consoles. Telltale Games, the lovely people behind PC exclusive adventure franchises like Sam & Max, Monkey Island and Puzzle Agent announced that they’ll be bringing their products to Nintendo’s Wii.
Day 3 of the week-and-a-half long Indie Games
Summer Uprising sees the arrival of Cute
Things Dying Violently, a wonderfully-titled puzzle game with a deliciously
twisted sense of humour.
The Indie Games Summer Uprising continues with day 2 of the week and a half long event. Tuesday’s featured game is Battle High: San Bruno, a 2D fighter game known for its classic feel and fun play-style.
Hey howdy hey, Spider-fans. Spidey has been getting a lot of buzz lately, even for one of the most popular characters in comics. He has a new movie and a new game coming out, ‘Ultimate him’ died, and, last but not least, he’s getting an island named after him! Well, kinda-sorta. You see, while there has been a lot of interest in the death of Ultimate Spidey lately, our good old fashioned Amazing Spidey is still kicking derriere and taking monikers. The inauspiciously numbered Amazing Spider-Man #666, or perhaps auspiciously (depending on your preference) acts as the prelude to the new Marvel event “Spider Island.”
We are almost halfway through this
season of Breaking Bad, and while it hasn’t been an
adrenaline-filled ride, the series is still putting out highly
entertaining episodes. “Cornered” may not have seen much plot
progression, but the characters’ personal journeys made for
compelling drama.
In recreating the opening from “Bullet
Points” the episode set us up to think we already knew the outcome.
If Mike handled two cartel thugs with a single pistol, than surely
these two guys packing assault rifles won’t have any problem dealing
with a few more hijackers. But that lull was intentionally designed
to impart more impact on what actually happened; which already had
plenty of its own. Seeing the two guards die clawing and scratching
for air as they gasp on exhaust fumes didn’t quite match the level of
brutality in watching Victor meet his end at the hands of Gustavo;
but it wasn’t far behind either. Contrasting it with the three
cartel agents casually sharing the dead driver’s lunch was a black
humor cherry on top.
