It’s odd that something so predictable as a yearly franchise can become as big of a deal as it is when info is leaked about the next iteration. That being said, I hope my livelihood never depends on an exclusive reveal for a major gaming story, as this industry is leakier than any ship fit to sail in Black Flag. I also have to hand it to Ubisoft because I pretty much wrote off the franchise after AC3, and here [...]

Absolutely brutal week and we hope everyone affected by the THQ closure and the beginnings of the Atari bankruptcy lands happily and safely. At least Nintendo tried to lighten the mood so don’t you ever change Big N, and by the looks of their 2013 plans, it doesn’t look like we have to worry about that at least. While I mainly played new games in this past week, my gaming felt decidedly old school. From the classic JRPGness of Ni [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Animals and the Wii U duke it out this week for the affection of the SGBF’s. Also, Josh likes colossus, Justin cries over Connor, Cole plays with furries, and Ethan learns to love the jungle.

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 [...]
So if my news a week ago about a few major delays for THQ titles didn’t depress you enough, here’s another flowery little tidbit. According to an article posted by Gamasutra today, THQ has defaulted or more accurately has had “one or more events of default” occur in reference to a $50 million loan from Wells Fargo. The two entities are going to try and work things out, but this smells similar to the sort of poopiness that happens right before [...]
