Gaming Connoisseur: The Bro-Op
While walking down the street the other day, I was approached by a young man who I’d soon find out was fueled by an inquisitive spirit. Being a role model means helping today’s youth find answers to their many questions, so I took a little time from my daily jaunt down to the market and [...]
I Learned Something Today: Diablo III
As a man I strive to be what the world defines as a man’s man, a concept that for me was fueled by the heroics of specialized combat groups like the GI Joes and the A-Team. It seemed so simple back then but lately this pursuit has become a bit confusing as the world around me seems to hint at manhood being something [...]
Xbox Owners to Start Gunstacking this Fall with Serious Sam Double D XXL
Everyone remembers that iconic scene in Aliens when Ripley duct tapes a flamethrower to a pulse gun in preparation for a face off against the queen xenomorph right? You thought that was pretty awesome didn’t you? Now imagine if Ripley decided that two guns wasn’t good enough and decided to combine 5 different weapons to her self-contained arsenal. If that [...]
Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Paladog Proves Hippies are Worthless in Battle
What would happen to the animal kingdom if the human population suddenly vanished? Many think that the Earth would be better off without us pooping pollution and bullets all over the place, but those people tend to wear clothing made of hemp and rarely shower. While long periods of peace and environmental cleanliness seem beneficial to [...]
Silent Hill: Book Of Memories Delayed Again, Some Vita Owners Care
Silent Hill has struggled a bit in the last few months as the flood of Silent Hill themed entertainment has been a bit underwhelming, to say the least. I’m saddened to report that this trend won’t end anytime soon as Silent Hill: Book of Memories for the PS Vita has been subtly delayed ’til a speculated date of [...]
Cheap and Dirty Gamer: PixelJunk Collection Priced Like Actual Junk, Plays the Opposite
One man’s trash can be another man’s treasure, but does that apply to another man’s junk? I’m happy to report that it does, as long as that man is a member of Q-Games and the junk has the word pixel in front of it (that is not to say that treasuring another man’s junk is [...]
Gaming Cynic: The Indie Game Nightmare
You’d be stupid not to see that the indie gaming scene has taken the world by storm. Despite the big boys still having a stranglehold in terms of financial dominance, it would appear that the little guy is way ahead on respect, artistic merit and humility. Gamers are tired of being nickel-and-dimed with crappy DLC, hate [...]
Company of Heroes 2 to Honor Mother Russia
In the eyes of most, World War 2 would have gone to the Axis of Evil had the United States not stepped in and saved the day. While our boys were major players in the war, battles on eastern front were just as important (if not more so) to the Allies’ success. For those not [...]
The Lamb Shall Demonstrate Its Wrath on The Binding of Isaac on the 28th of May
The often abusive and yet fantastically addicting The Binding of Isaac is going to get a hot dose of expansion on May 28th with the arrival of The Wrath of the Lamb. The expansion, which will be available on Steam for $3.00 will include new enemies, levels and items, all of which will continue to fertilize your nightmares for years [...]
The Elder Scrolls Online Facebook Status No Longer Listed as “It’s Complicated”
Are you tired of wandering the harsh landscapes in Skyrim alone? Do you long for a merry dash through Morrowind with your best friends? Is the extant Tamriel better explored in tandem? If you answered yes to all of those questions, then Bethesda has the product for you. It’s called Elder Scrolls Online and it’s going to [...]
Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Shank You for Getting to the Point
Shank may not have had the most engaging storyline in gaming nor was it the most varied brawler, but sometimes narrative depth and endless variety gets in the way of what’s really important. Should you be caught up in a situation where someone needs their head beat in or removed entirely, I’m pretty sure you’d be more concerned with fueling up [...]
Dungeon Defenders with DLC Recoil Review: The Loot Keeps Coming
Back in October, I got sucked into the action/RPG/tower defense game Dungeon Defenders. While my dedication to the game ebbed and flowed throughout the jam-packed insanity of Epic Release Fall and the subsequent holiday season, it’s been a great game to fall back on and I’ve been happy to see that Trendy Entertainment has kept [...]
Should I Play The Walking Dead: Episode 1? – The Cursed Checkpoint #115
Ethan has been a bit outspoken against The Walking Dead episodes prior to their release, and Justin and Brandon couldn’t be happier with the series after the first episode. Can they convince Ethan and his ilk to stick with the series? The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews [...]
Shinji Mikami’s Next Horror Game will be Zwei
I don’t tend to enjoy reporting about game concepts or rumors, but when Shinji Mikami and survival horror are uttered in the same sentence its worth making exceptions. Bethesda has announced that they’ll be putting on the publishing hat for a survival horror game that will be directed by Mikami and developed by the studio he founded, Tango [...]
I Learned Something Today: Lone Survivor
Sometimes you wake up and realize the world around you has changed. Whether it’s a freak natural disaster, the election of a new public official or the effects of a fast spreading disease, things that were once familiar and safe are now foreign and perhaps even dangerous. You could wait around until things go back to normal, but inaction has [...]
