While I never thought that The Last of Us was going to be a wholesome family friendly experience, I may have been a bit naive about the lengths the main characters will have to go to survive. While I believe a “friendship first” approach is the most important strategy for surviving the apocalypse, the recent TV spot for the game makes it pretty clear that Joel and Ellie don’t feel the same way. Looks like I’m going to have to [...]

Video game conventions like PAX and E3 mainly serve one purpose: to get the game buying public excited about upcoming releases. The fact that you can get hands on time with games that are currently in development helps to build a buzz for both positive and negative experiences. The bad thing about E3, for gamers in particular, is the timing of the conference. Placed at the start of summer, E3 gets gamers everywhere really pumped for games that won’t be [...]

The room was dark. Suddenly strange noises were being played, but still no visuals. It was late in Sony’s press conference and I knew there was only one necessary thing missing. The feed lights up again and it’s clear: The best has been saved for last. The Last of Us. What followed was a jaw-dropping edge-of-my-seat rollercoaster ride of emotions. Wonder at the urban environment overrun by vegetation, appreciation for the level of detail and, most importantly, amazement from start [...]

Sony’s 2012 E3 Press Conference and Jack Tretton. All business. Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Josh discussing the highs and lows of the press conference? About as business-like as a brick to the face. Which is still awesome. 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 writing staff and/or video game [...]

The E3 Experience: Technology Blows Minds, Falls Hard, Gets Up Again

The gamer in me has always had untouchable expectations when it comes to E3. It comes from reading about historical surprises like the Saturn launch that fueled a desire in me to want to be a part of the biggest stores in technology. This desire actually pushed a lot of my initial interest in the internet and its ability bring me the news and media I wanted exponentially faster than my magazine subscriptions. At the time I was waiting impatiently by the [...]

Shiniest Objects: According to Plan

Bumpy week in the industry with more game delays, financial troubles, legal troubles, and lots of server issues. The good news? Two great games still came out and we managed to livestream one of them all day before turning our attention back to indie games. Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end [...]

Shiniest Objects: Lick this Neon Frog

Our friends at The Art of Video Games exhibit had a big week with their opening at the Smithsonian. Elsewhere BioWare officially responded to the ME 3 ending controversy, Angry Birds went into space, and more teasing for games later in the year made us wish the summer away. At Horrible Night we were busy dreaming up definitions for a fake word and then reminding gamers that it is ok to have fun. Every day we are on the look [...]

A more in depth trailer for Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us was shown during the Spike VGAs this past weekend, and with its reveal both speculation and excitement began to build within the gaming community. I, too, felt a small flicker of excitement at the thought of a survival horror title that appears to actually be survival horror (as opposed to, “survive horrible situations with the aid of a crap ton of weapons.”) The fact that Naughty Dog is [...]
