I don’t want it to seem like I was cheering against Blizzard’s auction house, but anyone who had as many connectivity issues as I did with the game has to laugh at the situation now. I’m also fascinated by the fact that I cannot bring myself to help fund a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, even if it is made by essentially the same people. Silicon Knights, I mean, Precursor Games, needs to raise money [...]

2012 featured sequels to arguably two of the best examples of ARPGs in all of video game land. One was met with quiet enthusiasm while the other was met with a lukewarm reception. Unbeknownst to some, however another ARPG watched behind the safety of beta, learning from both valuable lessons in the art of clicking the denizens of evil into the graves they just don’t seem to stay in. For those of you not interested in wasting time with boring [...]

Out with the old, in with the… older. In what can best be described as “winter cleaning”, I continue to spend my January delving deeper into the dark recesses of 2012 games that time forgot. With releases like Dead Space 3 and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on the horizon, I need to get some more credit sequences under my belt while the iron is still heating up. I traveled back in time to a place where human spiders ruled [...]
And… we’re back. After a two week break Horrible Night returns in full force. We’ve got original editorials, podcasts, livestreams, reviews, previews, and gamer culture articles queued up and ready for eyeballs and earholes and any other holes in your face that you care to use. You’ll be hearing all about the video games we want to talk about, but I have a question. What did you play into the new year? Was it the game you expected to be [...]
Well that was certainly one way to end 2012. Grimmy grew up a bit this year, adding over 20 new categories, and for the first time ever we livestreamed our games of the year selection process. Thank you to those of you that braved the argument marathon with us. We hope we didn’t get too much on you. If so, it shouldn’t take too much acid to get that off. Whether you can remember what happened or were just waiting [...]

The best cooperative game we played this year that only got better with our best gaming friends. Orcs Must Die! 2 Robot Entertainment noticed the same thing we did about the original OMD: it was missing co-op. This quick-turn sequel went all out on its cooperative death trapping and puzzle solving experiences. The only ones who had any complaints were the orcs. Finalists Borderlands 2 Diablo III Hear how we narrowed down the winner and finalists for this category. (Starting at [...]
Holy cow did 2012 go really really fast! I’m still working on my backlog from 2010-2011 but that didn’t stop me from digging into a wide variety of really great titles this year. From Far Cry 3 to XCOM: Enemy Unknown and everything in between, it’s safe to say that 2013 is going to be dedicated as much to this year’s titles as it is to the amazing games it offers up. Top Games I’d Be Bros With 2012 XCOM: [...]
