Horrible Newswire: It’s Getting Humid in Here

Steam wanted all of the attention apparently as it stole all of the conversation this week. First with a big change, and then with the sale that everyone loves/hates. It was announcement week on Horrible Night with two events kicking off, but we also found time to offer plenty of advice. Last Week’s Headlines Valve opens up Steam’s game approval system with Steam Greenlight Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs delayed to 2013 Be warned. The Steam Summer Sale is upon [...]

You’re Gonna Get It Anyway: Three Games at Once

Do you ever run into the problem of having to many games at once? For example, there is a huge Steam sale. You buy 4 games for the price of $10. You have never played any of the games you just bought yet are interested in all four. How do you go about making the right decision about what you want to play and should play? This situation certainly sounds familiar to me as I got suckered in by the [...]

Game Industry Shout-Outs: Unique All Over Again

Every once in a while we take a break from our REPLY TO ALL weekly discussions to instead have our writers point out something in the game industry that has captured their attention lately. Brandon (H21) I’m giving a shout out to zombie game developers everywhere. Every time I begin to think the genre is growing stale and boring, I am consistently surprised by the different variations and versions that are coming out. Lollipop Chainsaw, Dead Island and there are [...]

REPLY TO ALL: The Memories of Christmas Past

It’s been a ridiculous fall so far and it keeps getting worse. But enough about this year. What Mega Release Holidays Season or Seasons stand out to you the most? Whether it was a console release or just a killer combination of games, which years were the best years and why? JP (JPizzle151) I will always remember the Christmas that I got my NES (I think it was 1986). I begged and begged my parents to get us one, and I [...]

Remake It So: Def Jam: Fight for NY

One of my most underrated experiences on the PS2 was the month I spent living out my thug life dreams in Def Jam: Fight for NY. The presentation layer of the game made me strangely invested in my created character. For some reason I got a huge kick out of pimping out my wardrobe and found myself strangely invested in my little D Reign and his quest for revenge. Beyond the setting and the ridiculous line up of hip hop [...]

Captain America: Super Soldier Review: Avenge Another Day

I’ll admit it, I had my doubts that Captain America: Super Soldier would be able to overcome the negative reputation of set forth by most super hero games, let alone clear off the layer of filth that comes with seemingly all movie tie-in games. I’m happy to report that, by the end of my playthrough, I was pleasantly surprised with the experience, although my bar was pretty low and I was not exactly overwhelmed with greatness by any stretch of [...]

Horribly Awesome Deals of The Week: A Mortal Crysis

REPLY TO ALL: Beat Up the Beat Em Up

Last year we were really excited for the release of the Scott Pilgrim vs The World video game. Amazing art style, great soundtrack, and influenced by one of my favorite beat-em ups, River City Ransom. However, playing SPVTW was a bit of a chore, and let’s face it, that whole genre needs some help. Ever since the classic arcade games of our youth it has struggled to gain new life, while Castle Crashers came close, I think we’ve been drug [...]

Batman: Arkham City Comic Mini-Series Underway

We are still several months away from the release of Batman: Arkham City (October 18th), but DC Comics is helping add to the excitement. A few weeks ago, the first of five companion comics was released, titled Batman: Arkham City (clever huh?). The comics lay out the story between the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Issue number one portrays events six months after Arkham Asylum‘s ending. The mini-series will lead up to the start of Arkham City, [...]
