As you might have heard by now, I am what you call a wrestling fan. It’s not something I’m extremely proud to admit because of the stigma that comes along with being a fan of a “fake” sport. But like I described myself in this week’s podcast, I’m a riddle wrapped in an enigma. That being said, THQ released the demo for their upcoming arcade style wrestling game WWE All-Stars and I got my hands on it as soon as [...]
Umm, what was that? If that isn’t one of the most disturbing trailers you have ever seen for a video game, I don’t want to see the one that is worse. First off, little kids screaming about killing and death are creepy. Nevermind the fact that this “girl” was voiced by a grown woman acting like a child doesn’t help the creepy factor at all. Nevertheless, it looks like a fun game. In Swarm, you control 50 Swarmites in environments [...]
I was listening to a local sports radio station this morning when they mentioned, during an interview with Michael Vick, that there was going to be a contest to pick this year’s cover athlete for Madden NFL 12. I thought it was pretty cool idea so I did some more research into it. Apparently, EA Sports did this last year as well. They gave fans the ability to vote for one of three NFL players with Drew Brees of the [...]
The month of March is my favorite time of year. Not only is it my birthday month, it is also the month of madness. The NCAA tournament started yesterday and, with it, brought loads of excitement. Buzzer beaters, blowouts, and major upsets are a part of every tournament, yet if you aren’t properly prepared for such excitement you might have an emotional overload. You’d better prepare yourself like I did when I learned the lessons of NBA Jam. The Lessons [...]
Red Dead Redemption has been out for close to a year now and since myself and GiffTor recently finished the game, JDevL was excited to actually be able to discuss some of the major plot points of the ending of the game. If you haven’t played Red Dead Redemption and still want to, turn back now. I swear we won’t be offended. However, if you have finished the game and want to add your viewpoints, feel free to do so [...]
I don’t play or buy into the whole Facebook app thing. Frankly, I find them highly annoying and spammy. However, that didn’t stop me from clicking on the WWE All-Star Fantasy Warfare app. The main reason why I did so was to help all the other wrestling fans find out who the free DLC character will be. If the WWE All Star Fantasy Warfare app gets enough traffic, THQ will release a free DLC wrestler for everyone. My curiosity of finding out [...]
Yo, the Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nuttin to F with, as this commercial for the Super Game Boy shows. Deemed too inappropriate for the audience Nintendo was courting, the commercial was never to be viewed by anyone. That is, until the internet came along and someone from the COD Crew (a “crew” of graffiti artists, featured in the video) found the video and uploaded it. That member of COD writes in the description “banned from networks for being too ill.” There [...]
When we think of successful video game companies, our minds immediately think of Activision, EA, and we used to think of Atari. If we dig a little under the surface of actual games and look at their past, we see that they got their start in the early days of the industry. It’s hard to imagine that some of those same publishers had to use backhanded methods to get their games on the market. Back in the late eighties and [...]
We’ve discussed how Angry Birds has swept the nation, and frankly it’s getting a little tiresome. I really like the game and I know that it can be really addicting but come on. It is getting ridiculous. They even have Angry Birds clothing available at your local mall’s Hot Topic. It’s been awhile since I checked in on Conan because I keep forgetting to watch TBS at 11 (also I’m usually watching Netflix or playing video games). However, I watched [...]
There is a direct correlation between what information comes out and my excitement for the “reboot” of Mortal Kombat. NetherRealm Studios is continuing to whet my appetite with new trailers and developer diaries, adding to my growing fascination with all things Mortal Kombat. The latest developer diary lets the world know about the 300 story “challenge tower” and what is expected of it. If you ever played previous games in the Mortal Kombat series, you’ll remember the “test your might” [...]
