Gears of War 3‘s Horde Command Pack DLC was mired by a slight delay in release yesterday due to a “technical issue”. The DLC wasn’t released until later in the day on November 1 as opposed to the traditional release time early in the morning for everyone who doesn’t sleep and had to get their hands on the new content. That being said, when the DLC was halted temporarily to work out the technical issue I, and many others, weren’t [...]
Simple premise this week, to help us get into the Halloween spirit we asked our writers to recap their scariest video game moments. It seemed pretty original at the time… Want in on the weekly conversation? Every Wednesday we pose a question on Twitter and Facebook. You can answer from Wednesdays through Mondays on Twitter with the hashtag = #R2A, and in our weekly thread on Facebook.com/HorribleNight posted every Wednesday. Check out this week’s responses at the end of the post, [...]
Do you want to make games but don’t have the time to trifle with the development of silly things like a game engine? Well John” The Carmack” Carmack has a deal for you! In the very near future (no official date as of yet), id will be releasing the entire source code for Doom 3 to would be modification aficionados and future devs alike. They did the same for the iOS versions of Doom and Wolfenstein 3D back in September (which was a pretty unique [...]
No time to slow down now, just as the third Battlefield heats up reviews move off the charts and I continue to make bad puns. We actually put out two videos in one week and put our new stamp on our community infused In Gaming We Trust series. Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss [...]
Meanwhile… we’ve actually been playing games. Each week we recap our recent gaming experiences and tell you what we’re looking forward to, so you can use your time more wisely than we have. Now comes the hard part, how do you talk about multiple games when you are really just focused on one? Most of our team has picked a corner while others are just looking for more game time.

Only a few more days before the spookiest day of the year, so I’ve dedicated one entry in this week’s deals that could be considered Halloween themed. Nonsensical? Don’t blame me, I don’t make the rules, I just avoid them at all costs. Mr. Deal Hunter Dead Island (Xbox 360 and PS3) – Amazon for $39.99 Vacations are great, but vacations on dead islands demonstrate a lack of common sense. No worries, the scenario makes for an entertaining game and it [...]
If you were ever wondering how Midway successfully pitched the idea of NBA Jam to the NBA then you need to watch the video above. It is an interesting look at how the iconic game was created in the early 90′s as well as the technological advancements it actually made. While it looks extremely dated today, Midway employed some new and interesting ideas while using some previously used ones in games like Terminator 2 and Super High Impact Football. You [...]
It is with no small amount of personal and professional pleasure that I share GamePolitics.com’s article “GTA V Announcement Timed with Thompson’s Three-Year Disbarment Anniversary,” with you. Not that it comes as any surprise, but the guys over at Rockstar clearly have a mischievous sense of humor. If you’ve followed gaming and the First Amendment at all, you’re familiar with the name Jack Thompson in the same way that a dog is familiar with fleas: irritating and persistent until you [...]
For the first time, we opened up this week’s discussion to the community on Facebook, check out their responses below our answers to: What video game character do you think has or would have the hardest time maintaining lasting relationships and why? JP (JPizzle151) I still don’t understand how Mario and Peach are still an item. That princess has caused Mario an insane amount of trouble. Maybe he’s in it for the money, but there has never been a hint [...]
