Spec Ops: The Line Demo Impressions: Toe that Line
Spec Ops: The Line has been in my peripherals since I learned about it a year or two ago. When more details hit about the moral choices gamers would have to make due to the horrors of war, you could color me intrigued. I sat feverishly waiting for the chance to play a demo or something [...]
Castle Crashers On Sale On XBLA Until May 21
Castle Crashers has been one of the long-standing champions of Xbox Live Arcade, but recently it’s been met with some ferocious competition. The Behemoth decided that it would try to help those who haven’t purchased the game yet (which is still wildly popular) by slashing its price in half to 600 MS Points. You might be thinking, “I [...]
Tried It: Going Indie – Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition
There’s some room for discussion on whether or not Minecraft really is an indie game anymore or if it ever was, but it’s my non-professional opinion the game still qualifies as an indie game. Ever since it blasted onto the PC scene on a shoestring budget I’ve watched it from afar. I knew in my heart I [...]
Wolfenstein 3-D Celebrates 20 Years by Going Free in All Browsers
Wolfenstein 3-D owns some great real estate in my heart, and for its 20th anniversary id Software is porting it to all browsers to play for free. It’s a freaking party in Castle Wolfenstein, and we’re going to party like it’s 1992. To put things in perspective, I had just turned 9 years old when this game [...]
Speculate Iterate: Call of Duty: Black Ops II Reveal
I can safely assume I’m the biggest Call of Duty fan on Horrible Night, and I’m likely the one who’s put in the most hours for this franchise. The Call of Duty: Black Ops II reveal trailer was presented to us on May 1, 2012, and the world has relatively not stopped talking about the game since. [...]
League of Legends Season 2 World Championship has $3 Million Prize Pool
League of Legends is a multi-player online battle arena (MOBA) that has a pretty substantial competitive gaming following. In case you had any doubts on that following, Riot Games just announced the League of Legends Season Two World Championship with $3 million on the line for the world’s best League of Legends team. Teams have been competing all over [...]
Counter Gaming: The Game Industry Needs Focus
Doombringers and naysayers are littering the forums and game journalism resources because no one really knows what’s going to become of the game industry. It seems the majority is focusing on what publishers, developers, media sources, and even gamers are doing wrong to prevent the game industry from creating stability and a welcoming consumer environment. [...]
Microsoft Plans for more Ads on Xbox Live
Ads have been around on Xbox Live since the last major Xbox Live dashboard update, and the reception of these ads have been mixed at best. Many have been vocal about their displeasure for paying for a service and being subjected to additional advertising. According to Microsoft, however, entertainment apps such as ESPN and Last.fm [...]
You Fools! You Trusted a Bad Guy
The ancient tower loomed over Granseal. During a powerful storm, Slade the Thief removed two jewels from the ancient shrine within. What came next could have been avoided but required heroic feats from a young lad to save Grans Island, and the world, from the Devil King and invading forces of Zeon. Sound familiar? That’s [...]
Ubisoft Sued for Assassin’s Creed Copyright Infringement
Ubisoft has its hands full with the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed III, and if John L. Beiswenger is successful that release can be stopped entirely. Why? Beiswenger claims in his novel, Link, has numerous pieces in which Ubisoft has lifted from his work to use in its Assassin’s Creed series. Beiswenger’s novel is based [...]
Remake It So: Friday the 13th: The Video Game
Friday the 13th is the kind of day in which you triple-lock your doors, avoid ladders, run away from any stray black cats, and be vigilant for crazed maniacs in hockey masks wielding machetes. That last one is probably the most prominent problem on this unholiest of days. Rather than fearing the inevitable at the [...]
Resident Evil 6 Trailer Bumps Up the Release Date to October
I’ve been admittedly out of the Resident Evil game since Resident Evil Code: Veronica, but Resident Evil 6 is starting to grab me by the short and curlies and get my attention. The new Captivate 2012 trailer is full of action, suspense, and grotesque mutating monsters which is perfect for any adventurous occasion. The interesting thing about [...]
Tried It: The Binding of Isaac
Indie games have not really been a part of my gaming repertoire due to various reasons: most of them being couch-lazy. I prefer the console, and I spend many nights in the dark with my cocktails playing online with my friends on Xbox LIVE. Out of the Horrible Night staff I am probably one of [...]
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning DLC: Teeth of Naros Floats in on April 17
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning made a splash earlier this year when it came out to party with the big boys by establishing a deep, rich world of fantasy and catching our eye. Fresh off the recent DLC release of The Legend of Dead Kel it looks like KoA is ready to give us some more with Teeth [...]
