Marvel Heroes: Because You Should Not Dungeon Crawl Without Superpowers  

Marvel Heroes: Because You Should Not Dungeon Crawl Without Superpowers

Fans of clicking on enemies until they explode had a pretty damn good 2012. The thing about it though, is even if the quality of releases were better than ever, the flavors aren’t too varied. Take what you love about your favorite fantasy-based dungeon crawling experience and throw that into the Marvel Universe. Still interested? Then you are right where I am and can’t wait to try out Marvel Heroes. Marvel Heroes will feature all of your favorite (and probably [...]

Path of Exile Beta Impressions: Welcome Punishment

Path of Exile Beta Impressions: Welcome Punishment

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 [...]

Tried It: Torchlight II

Tried It: Torchlight II

With December 21, 2012 looming I must be subconsciously trying to branch out. In recent weeks I gave Torchlight II a try with friends and family, and I felt like a complete noob. I don’t typically get into point and click, hack and slash dungeon crawlers like Torchlight. Somehow I got sucked up into all the hype around the game and made the Steam purchase on my PC. I don’t know what the deciding factor was. I didn’t put many hours into Torchlight before, but something [...]

Torchlight 2 on September 20th for $20

Torchlight 2 on September 20th for $20

While it was fun to speculate on the possibilities of Torchlight 1 and 2 both coming out before Diablo III, ultimately that didn’t happen. Runic Games has been putting the polish on Torchlight 2 for a better part of this year, but until today the release date has been hazy. Torchlight 2 will be available on September 20th for PC so we hope that point-and-click dungeon crawler fans have had enough time for their click fingers to recover. Torchlight 2 [...]

Diablo 3 Launch Recovery Part 1: The Game – The Cursed Checkpoint #117

Diablo 3 Launch Recovery Part 1: The Game – The Cursed Checkpoint #117

A little more than a week after the Diablo 3 livestream launch day marathon, Justin, Ethan and Josh reconnect to see if their opinions of the game have changed for better or for worse. Server issues be damned, this is about the game! The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible [...]

I Learned Something Today: Diablo III

I Learned Something Today: Diablo III

As a man, I strive to be what the world defines as a man’s man, a concept that for me was fueled by the heroics of specialized combat groups like the GI Joes and the A-Team. It seemed so simple back then, but lately this pursuit has become a bit confusing as the world around me seems to hint at manhood being something fueled solely by hedonistic desires and self-affirmation. Where once we slayed dragons, we now slay booty. Earning respect through bravery means nothing compared to “letting it rain” in [...]

I Learned Something Today: Legend of Grimrock

I Learned Something Today: Legend of Grimrock

I get overwhelmed very easily when I venture outside of my comfort zone. It can get very stressful for me when I’m forced to go somewhere I have never been before. This anxiety has started to take a toll on my social life. Luckily, I have a new tricks that have proved useful when attending a few house parties at stranger’s homes lately. All thanks are due to the lessons of Legend of Grimrock. The Lessons of Legend of Grimrock [...]

Diablo 3 Beta Coming 2011, Full Release Rumored to be Before 2111

Fans of Blizzard can expect two things from their favorite developer; great quality and extremely long development cycles. StarCraft players had to wait about 13 years for a sequel and it looks like Diablo junkies can expect the same BMV length wait time themselves. Diablo 3 still does not have a launch date, but Blizzard’s Mike Morheime told PC Gamer that beta access would most likely be available in Q3 of 2011. He went on to say that quality would not be [...]

Torchlight Review (XBLA): Loot for Everyone

When Torchlight hit the PC downloadable scene in 2009, it was oozing a level of quality not normally scene from $20 video games. The game exhibited the purest and most addictive form of a loot hungry dungeon crawler with a solid fantasy steampunk art style. Although feeling very familiar and comfortable to genre fans, Torchlight was just different enough that millions of people were willing to give it a try. With a hit on their hands, it was time for [...]

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge Tag Teams Those Dungeons

I’ve been thirsty for some actual gameplay footage of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge and here we go: I don’t envy any game trying to establish itself as new fantasy game or a third person cover based action game. However, combining the two may just be different enough to make Hunted stand out. Bethesda obviously sees to the title and developer, inXile. I originally dismissed it because from the title I assumed “generic fantasy rpg” that I didn’t have time for. [...]
