Horrible Newswire: Ponies Without Approval

I do love the randomness of the industry headlines at this time of year. The weird story that break through everyone’s best of lists.

Horrible Newswire: Need for Constant Reassurance

Horrible Newswire: Need for Constant Reassurance

Not much is clear in December in the gaming industry, at least until the awards come out. Until then, it’s filled with a lot of reflection and predictions and last minute shuffling for the next quarter of releases. The weirdest thing? The VGA’s turned out to be watchable this year. Predict that. Ethan continued to blow through his game queue and caused more than a few explosions in Far Cry 3, while the SGBF’s tried to make sense of the [...]

2012 is coming to a close and so is Nintendo Power. It’s also never too early to talk holiday sales figures or find new ways of making money. We of course continue to be engrossed in the Wii U while we turn our attention to wrapping up as many games as possible (with reviews) before the world year ends. Last Week’s Headlines Double Fine chooses its Amnesia Fortnight games How do the Wii U first week sales stack up? Wii [...]

Horrible Newswire: Sell Outs

Major franchises dominated the headlines with release dates, trailers, and sales figures aplenty. Oh yeah, and a new console launched. Good luck, Nintendo.

Horrible Newswire: Think It Through

Horrible Newswire: Think It Through

Ok, now I’m willing to admit that we may probably never get an Eternal Darkness 2 from Silicon Knights. So can someone else save that franchise for me? I’ll even stream it on Origin if you get it, EA. Speaking of streaming, we’ve been having a lot of fun with a lot of different games lately and managed to catch most of them on video last week. Last Week’s Headlines Capcom is all in on first party, plans to hire [...]

Horrible Newswire: Bring Back The Screen Savers

This time of year brings a lot of transition while gamers are distracted with too many releases to play. It’s a bit of a bummer really especially with G4 moving on from its gaming shows X-Play and Attack of the Show. Maybe we’ve had our heads down too much as well, but Ethan tried to right that wrong while Brandon tried to make sense of Zynga’s collapse.

Horrible Newswire: They’re Everywhere

There are too many games to sort through and now we also have to juggle DLC and more HD remakes. It’s tough and awesome (tawesome? awesough?) to be a gamer in the fall. But then this is also the time of year where weird stuff happens like random appearances of strip Halo in your wife’s TV shows. Last Week’s Headlines Borderlands 2 already has DLC with Pirate Booty Mechwarrior Online has made $5 million already, but the open beta has [...]

Horrible Newswire: Stay in the Ocean

Horrible Newswire: Stay in the Ocean

You can almost feel the storm of major releases rising as news lately is filled with the last bits of confirming details about upcoming releases. We did get the final look at the Wii U’s launch lineup and some nice cooperation between console-to-PC releases and vice versa. Our crew is currently drowning in loot, but Ethan came up for air to talk about the crazy wildlife around Capetown with the developers of Broforce.
