Mark of the Ninja Review: Silent But Awesome

There’s a number of gameplay mechanics that I don’t typically get excited about, such as escort missions and underwater segments. The one that’s always straddled the line of my disdain is the use of stealth. When my sneaking plan accidentally goes to hell and the enemy has me surrounded, my frustration reaches new heights. However, there’s nothing more satisfying than being one with the shadows and knowing that those same enemies were just dominated by a single silent killer. Klei Entertainment’s Mark [...]

It is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing color. The air has a cool, crisp feel to it. Halloween’s coming so I get to dress up as a hairless stripper with a peg leg and no one will judge me, and Double Fine is launching a sale across many platforms to just give us more games to play. All in all – fall rocks. Here’s what the self-proclaimed “most talented and bearded video game team” has to [...]

It’s among us, my friends. Apple has pushed its iPhone 5 into all of the sweatiest, stickiest and liquid-soapiest hands of the planet Earth just one week ago. If you’re thinking that’s why there was no Radio Waves last week as Aaron was too busy crying tears of joy over getting a new smartphone or something, you’re wrong and I’m insulted! But you’re also kind of right. Semantics. Anyway, I’ve been using this lightweight toy brick (with a phone somewhere [...]

One of our favorite anti-orc games in the world, Orcs Must Die! 2, releases its second booster pack today on Steam. We can’t stress enough how important it is to slay some orcs, and we can’t stress enough that there will be new ways and places to do it. The new “Family Ties” booster pack is the second released by Robot Entertainment. It features three new maps, some new endless mode conversions, new weapons, costumes, and even a new enemy. Orcs Must Die! 2 [...]

Those of you that are snobby, PC only gamers (I’m 89% there) probably never had the joy of playing The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers. That is going to change on September 26th as medieval themed beat-em up will be hitting the imaginary shelves of Steam. Rejoice citizens, the day is good. This really is a great game and must be experienced, preferably with 3 buddies and some pizza and/or root beer floats. Beat-em ups are a rare commodity these days, especially on [...]

by Justin Lacey in: Podcasts, The Cursed Checkpoint

Justin and Ethan have noticed that their game purchasing habits have gotten a little out of control. Heading into a heavy release season they thought it would be best to talk it out before they get in over their head again. 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 Night [...]

Speculate Iterate: Valve Exploring Hardware Options

If you pay any attention to the gaming industry whatsoever (which we can assume that you do, you’re here, aren’t you?) you know that there’s a respectably restrained buzz about Valve Corporation’s RFQ for an industrial designer. Coupled with Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s known…disdain may be too strong of a word for it, so let’s stick with “cordial disappointment in” unchanging User Interface and Operating Systems and you’ve got perfect fodder for me to overanalyze this little tidbit of news [...]

This week’s been kind of crazy with events left and right about new Apple products and Nintendo’s Wii U. They serve as effective notices that my current tech has become stone-age levels of useful. I spend most of my time rolling my eyes at my phone from 2010 and my Wii stares at me with its cold, dead red eye. My wife and I will be jumping aboard the iPhone 5 wagon, but I swear to the party god from [...]

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Recoil Review: Form Up

My first introduction to Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes was on the Xbox Live Marketplace in April 2011. I downloaded the demo, gave it a couple of hours of attention, and I never pulled the trigger on the purchase. This puzzle RPG by Capybara Games looked good, but I didn’t know if I should put down the money for the purchase. When the Steam Summer Sale came around this summer I found Clash of Heroes for roughly 75% off [...]
