Dear Gods of Gaming, Let’s get the fine print out of the way: I’m writing this from inside of a Faraday cage and, seeing how it’s winter, I’ll be spending most of my time inside of grounded buildings. I don’t live in a flood plain (so floods are out), I don’t live in a trailer park [...]
Do you ever play games like Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil or Dead Island and think to yourself ”Hey, it’d be cool to find myself in that situation?” If you’re like a lot of gamers, it’s pr0bably safe to say that unless you have a suit of armor or magical abilities, your lack of endurance (and [...]
New Line Cinema is currently seeking writers for a movie script based on the classic monster video game based on classic monster movies, Rampage. John Rickard of Final Destination and A Nightmare on Elm Street fame (?) is looking to produce the film and rumors have been comparing the flick to a Ghostbusters or Independence [...]
After playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim obsessively for the last week (and loving every second of it), I can’t help but think about what the Creation Engine could mean for the next iteration of the Fallout series. Sure, I could just be happy with exploring the beautiful fantasy world that Bethesda has created, but [...]
Hopefully this was the last week for a while that the industry will be spending all of its industry discussing review scores. I did not expect that conversation to end with the Jurassic Park game though. At the Night, we relived our marathon highlights, announced our next event, offended everyone, and reviewed 2 more big [...]
Apparently, the video game industry didn’t get the memo that our economy is supposed to be in the tank. Bethesda announced this week that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim sold an estimated 3.5 million units in 24 hours. These figures can be added on top of the other gaudy fall sales numbers: Modern Warfare 3 grossed [...]
Some people think that technology has ruined our appreciation for the finer things in life, but maybe those people should take a step back and appreciate the technology they have. Our very survival may depend on it if we are to believe the lessons of Halo: Combat Evolved. The Lessons of Halo: Combat Evolved Alien [...]
Those jerks at Runic Games have really done it this time. Citing that Torchlight 2, the sequel to their breakout hit, needed “polishing,” they’ve announced that the hotly anticipated title will quietly slip into 2012 so that more time can be put into making the game as great as possible. Hoping to redirect the outrage that the [...]
Electronic Arts came out swinging with some great marketing to highlight the new Frostbite 2 engine behind Battlefield 3 as well as taking shots against that “other shooter.” For the most part, Battlefield 3 delivers on a frantic multiplayer experience complete with explosions, vehicles and intense graphics, but the single player campaign doesn’t quite feel [...]
Each day this week, I will be revisiting A Call to Gamers 1st 24 Hour Charity Gaming Challenge (24HCGC) for Child’s Play through our video highlights currently available on our Twitch.tv channel. We started a 24 hour video game marathon for Child’s Play on the night of October 14th, and livestreamed as much of the action as possible from NetHeads [...]
