I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; it’s a great year for horror. You can add another entry to that list of announced titles as Among the Sleep, a survival horror game from the perspective of a young child has surpassed it’s goal of $200,000.00. This means that Krillbite Studios, the developers behind the title can stop messing around and start focusing on reminding us why childhood was so darn frightening. I’m excited about this game because the [...]

Gaming Lifestyle: Being Responsible for Real Life Legendary Weapons

Between all the RPG games I’ve sunk time into, I’ve had my hands full when it comes to loot hunting. Despite putting a combined 200+ hours into those games, I’ve found very few “Legendary” grade items that I’ve truly been impressed with. While my inventories are filled to the brim with useful magical, rare and set piece items, the “legendaries” I do have either suck hardcore butt-hole or are meant for a class that I don’t play. This was a [...]

While I never thought that The Last of Us was going to be a wholesome family friendly experience, I may have been a bit naive about the lengths the main characters will have to go to survive. While I believe a “friendship first” approach is the most important strategy for surviving the apocalypse, the recent TV spot for the game makes it pretty clear that Joel and Ellie don’t feel the same way. Looks like I’m going to have to [...]

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Caribbean Admiral is the Life for You if You Enjoy Ruining the Pirates’ Life

People are always talking about how cool being a pirate would be, but on paper the pirate lifestyle is chock full of jerk-centic behavior. While some people don’t mind taking what the want, when they want it, there are those that like the sensation of both high seas adventure and moral righteousness. If you happen to be the latter, Caribbean Admiral is the game for you. You take on the role of the anti-pirate; an admiral tasked with ridding the waters [...]

Darkwood Devs Launch Indiegogo Campaign

Acid Wizard Studio, developer of the upcoming survival horror game Darkwood, have launched an Indiegogo campaign for the game and are looking to raise $40,000.00 in funding (which is pretty modest considering the scope of the project). Despite the creepy atmosphere and aesthetics of Darkwood, the video pitch itself is rather light-hearted and funny. That doesn’t last long, however as the team gives us a more in-depth look at the game and the progress they’ve made since the pre-alpha trailer that was [...]

I’ve worked from home for the last 8 months and have been playing Don’t Starve off and on for the last 6. Despite spending less time with the latter, I’ve come to find out that I’m way better at completing the tasks set before me in the charming survival simulator than I am with completing tasks on my real life chore list. This is much to the chagrin of my wife as she struggles to understand why collecting sticks, pulling [...]

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Rated Review: Standard Setting Cyber-Expansion

To say I was excited when I first saw the trailer for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon would be an understatement; blowing a load would be far more accurate. Yet this blown load wasn’t the normal load I’ve been known to blow in regards to the medium of electronic entertainment. This was a load that had been building inside of me since I was a child, screaming to be released but unable to do so despite the best efforts of [...]

Today was an absolutely lovely day in good ole’ Berlin. The sun was shining, the temperature was just right and so I decided to accompany my wife on a little trot through town. This was a huge freaking mistake as during my absence the “spiritual successor” of Eternal Darkness, Shadow of the Eternals was revealed over on IGN. Further details will be released on IGN on Monday, but what we do know is that Precursor Games will be heading the project [...]

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Go Test Out Receiver for Me

As most of you may know, I was pretty excited about playing through Blood Dragon this week, so I took a tiny break from Cheap and Dirty Gamer, tiny in the sense that while I did pick a game (or Justin did), I didn’t get a chance to play through it and give my thoughts. That being said, this is your opportunity to play the game for me and tell me how you feel so that when I do actually sit down [...]

It Doesn’t Matter: Cultural Misunderstandings Do Not Equate to Racism

While I don’t usually frequent Kotaku, I was directed to an article there called What Not To Name Your Spacefaring Raccoon Video Game. In the article, the author points out that the title of aforementioned game Starcoon, may not be appropriate due to the fact that the word “coon” is considered a racial slur in the United States of America. While I completely agree that game developers need to be extra cautious about game content should they want to appease [...]
