It Doesn’t Matter: Modern Warfare 3 has a ‘Shocking’ Scene
If the words “No Russian” are familiar to you, then you know all about the controversy surrounding the fabled scene in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In “No Russian” players are placed in a violent and evil situation in a Russian airport. Without going into the details, you’re essentially committing a terrorist attack while [...]
Gaming Lifestyle: The Balance Between Life, School, Work and Games
I haven’t played video games since the 24 hour gaming marathon we did for A Call to Gamers. Call me burned out on video games but after 13 hours straight of Gears of War 3 I think I deserved to be burned out, though that’s not the real issue of me not playing games for [...]
Remake It So: Mutant League Football
Being a subscriber to SEGA Channel had plenty of benefits. Not only was I the envy of my friends, but I was able to play a lot of titles over time. One of the titles I was most fond of was Mutant League Football. This game should be revived because the sports genre has become [...]
Gaming Connoisseur: Halloween Selection
Halloween is seen by many as a day for dressing up in silly costumes and parading around town in order to beg for candy. In reality, Halloween is probably the most dangerous time of year due to the shifting proximity of the spirit world and our own. For those of you willing to risk your [...]
I Learned Something Today: Driver: San Francisco
As children, we tend to idolize various adult professions. We find heroes and devote a portion of our young lives to being just like that person. Firefighters, doctors and policemen were the everyday Batmans and Supermans, just without the tights and guaranteed six packs. Personally, I used to tell everyone I wanted to be a [...]
In Gaming We Trust: What Exactly are Online Passes?
I posed a question on Twitter asking my friends and followers “What do you love/hate about online passes?” The results I got were quite interesting. I was met with general distrust in online passes. I also encountered the occasional Twitter user who did not know what online passes were. The interesting thing is no one really [...]
Pitched: Mega Man Begins
There has been a huge mess at Capcom surrounding Mega Man lately, and I fear for our Blue Bomber. I have no doubt that he will survive in some shape or form, but will it be in the form we’ve grown to adore over these the past decades or will a new Mega Man emerge? [...]
Gaming Advocate: Stop Killing Humans
Battlefield 3 is coming out tomorrow and Modern Warfare 3 a few short weeks later, which makes the next month a huge deal for gamers everywhere. With the culmination of these events, we’ll finally know which of the two behemoths is the top dog of first person shooting. I’m going to predict that both will [...]
I Learned Something Today: Banjo-Kazooie
The world can be a dangerous place full of witches, ogres, metal sharks, and perhaps even a talking toilet. You never know what those baddies will do to you. So going alone is not an option. You need friends to help you along the way. Some you meet, some you’ve known for years. They are [...]
Think of the Children: Harnessing the Imagination of a 5 Year-old Gamer
I must be getting old. My 5 year-old son wears me out. Not just because he’s got much more energy than I can even come close to having, but because his young imagination is taking the world by storm and is fueled by a common interest – video games. Sometimes I sit in awe as [...]
Handheld Temptations: 3DS and Vita
I haven’t owned a handheld since the Nintendo DS Lite was first released. I got the white one along with New Super Mario Bros. A few games purchased here and there and soon enough I was trading the system in. I just lost any interest I may have once had in the platform. I’ve never [...]
Are You a Video Game Geek, Nerd, or Dork?
Labels have been used for centuries as a means to quickly categorize people or groups based on the qualities they possess that stand out the most. While some labels are good, others have made it easier to alienate or mock the less desirable members of our society. When looking at video games and video game [...]
Think of the Children: Video Games are A-OK
When we first started talking about coming up with a charity arm of Horrible Night, I became excited. Until that point, it had never dawned on me that we could take this passion of ours and use it for a good cause. Video games have been painted in such a negative light by the media [...]
The Fall of Ethan: I Think I have the T-Virus
Itchy. Tasty. Two simple words that, out of context, don’t make much sense but to those of us that found them sloppily scrawled in an old leather-bound journal, they speak volumes. These two words once acted as a warning that things in that old mansion weren’t quite what they seemed, that danger laid in wait [...]
I Learned Something Today: Rage
So you’re one of the select few that have been chosen to survive whatever apocalyptic situation is set to befall the Earth. Wow, congratulations, forgive me for not jumping for joy as I make peace with my own mortality. Despite my urge to strangle you, cut off your face and wear it in hopes of [...]
