While I do want Gearbox to be taken down a peg after their handling of the bad reviews of Aliens: Colonial Marines, if the misrepresentation goes through, we’re going to be seeing a lot less/different E3 demos. Grand Theft Auto V wanted a lot of attention this week, I could care less personally. I’m most excited for a new 3 person “truck” in Planetside 2, which should help me ignore just how annoyed I am at Katie Couric jumping into [...]
I actually think that the more entertaining phenomena on April Fool’s Day are the companies that make honest announcements and don’t understand when the public doesn’t take them seriously. Granted, I’m not sure if there is a day of the year that anyone would have taken Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon seriously, but I admit that I had to dig a bit to confirm whether or not Telltale was serious about it’s poker game sequel. If only we could trade [...]
The lesson of the week is quite simple: while we may consider ourselves video game bad asses, we have no business going at it alone, no matter what “it” is. We do not possess the simple survival skills to understand our environment which results in a lot of confusion, screaming, and often, player death that could have been avoided. Thankfully the only people really hurt by this are our game characters and their families. We’ve been having a damn good [...]
What is more exciting than a new console reveal? Watching people react to a console reveal. For my part, I thought Sony did a helluva job with their presentation and I appreciated the developer-first theme to the entire PlayStation 4 meeting. This wasn’t some flashy show with celebrities for fans or a chart filled snore for investors, instead it was Sony trying to learn from its mistakes and arrogance around how it positioned the PS3. As with any big media [...]
A typical year in video games tends to be lopsided in terms of big name releases. Slow in the beginning, but everyone is swimming in AAA titles by the holidays. What happens as those big titles get completed? I’ve chosen to reach shoulder-deep into the dirtier side of gaming and play two poorly-received games, hoping for laughs and good times. In space, no one could hear me scream. In this week’s Radio Waves, everyone can. Two mouths, one marine Make [...]

After the most drawn out gamer tease I’ve experienced in a while, I’m officially ready for Sony and Microsoft to announce their next-gen plans. Publishers and developers have to be even more frustrated as illustrated by Bungie’s attempted reveal of their new game, Destiny. I’m officially more confused about what to expect from their new online FPS than I was when all I had to go off of was a leaked photo. I don’t blame Bungie though, if the game really [...]
