Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Recoil Review: Did I Read the Name Right?
Of all of the video game franchises around, many of you probably already know that I hold the Castlevania series nearest and dearest to my heart. From the moment I first caught wind of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, I knew that it was a make or break moment for the series. All previous 3D Castlevania’s [...]
You’re Gonna Get It Anyway: Duke Nukem Forever
I’ve been getting a lot of entertainment from the reviews of Duke Nukem Forever. Let’s just say I’m glad I’m not in a position where I have to review the game on its artistic and gameplay merits (there’s no point). I’ve known for a while now that I pretty much have to own Duke Nukem [...]
Pre-Order Batman: Arkham City and Play as Robin, Maybe
There are rumors floating around that Robin will be a playable character in the challenge maps in this Fall’s Arkham Asylum sequel, Batman: Arkham City. Over at arkhamcity.co.uk, a screen capture taken from Best Buy’s website shows Robin as a pre-order bonus. There is no picture of Robin, but he was listed in the text as [...]
E3 11: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Steps up to the Plate
Until this week I had sort of dismissed 38 Studios and Big Huge Games new IP: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Admittedly, I haven’t been a huge fan of the western developed fantasy RPG. I played about an hour of the first Dragon Age and quickly decided it wasn’t for me. However, after watching the trailer [...]
E3 11: Devil May Cry Blurs My Reimagination
Huge Devil May Cry fan reporting in on this year’s E3 trailer (see above). Things are looking better for the Devil May Cry reboot by Ninja Theory (Enslaved, and Heavenly Sword). While this is assuredly a different take on the series and on its heroic demon hunter, Dante, there are a few moments and settings [...]
E3 11: Ninja Gaiden 3 says “Hey, Don’t Forget about Ninjas”
Ninjas used to be all over the place, but it would seem that zombies have overwhelmed them with numbers in the eyes of pop society. Ninja Gaiden 3 is coming, however to stifle the undead surge and bring balance back to the forces of good (all speculation at this point, I’m not really positive whether [...]
Games of June are Forever
This month shouldn’t even be real. First of all, the apocalypse was supposed to have happened by now. Next up, E3 may not leave any survivors. But here we are, and that game that should have never been finally arrives. Love him or hate him, for better or worse, Duke Nukem is back. Add in [...]
E3 11: Far Cry 3 has Crazy Eyes
My mouth has been wide open ever since I stumbled upon this gameplay trailer for Far Cry 3. I have fond memories of the previous two games in the series due to their stunning and lifelike environments, but this game looks to make the previous iterations look amateur by comparison. Take notice of the varied context sensitive [...]
E3 11: Microsoft – The Horrible Show 060711
Here goes nothing. Justin, Josh, and JP kick off E3 2011 with reactions to Microsoft’s Press, I mean, Global Media Briefing. Tomb Raider, Gears 3, a new dashboard, multiple Halos, and more Kinect news than a body can handle. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow Show Notes Cast: Justin L, Josh, JP Guide:0 [...]
What is Insomniac Up to for E3 11?
Insomniac Games, makers of fine video games like the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance series, will be announcing a new IP at this year’s E3. Previously a producer of games only released on the PlayStation brand of consoles, Insomniac has broken away and will be releasing its next game for multiple consoles. In 2010, Insomniac announced [...]
Brink Review: On the Verge of Fun
With all of the time I spent with the developer Splash Damage’s two Enemy Territory games, Wolfenstein and Quake Wars (and the exemplary job it did refining and improving on the formula between the two games), Brink‘s lineage was obvious enough to get me excited to see what the next iteration would have in store. Like its predecessors, [...]
Call of Duty 2011 Arrives with Modern Warfare 3 Reveal Trailer
If you didn’t think that you’d be playing a new Call of Duty game after gorging on turkey and instant mashed potatoes this coming November, you were sadly mistaken. After all the rumors and leaked information (which, I might add is beginning to get just as annoying as hacking) Modern Warfare 3 was made official with [...]
Shiniest Objects: Break Things
Hey Sony is back and better than, well, PSN is back, sorta. At least Microsoft decided to jump in on the fun and knowingly break some 360s while Warner Bros attempts to break Batman. I don’t think anything snapped on our site, but we did try to fix Too Human. Every day we are on [...]
Shadow Complex Sequel Will Happen
Chair, developer of the huge iOS hit Infinity Blade, hasn’t forgot about the game that put it on the map in the eyes of the hardcore gamer. Fans (especially this one) have been crying out for a sequel to Shadow Complex ever since they finished the first game. In an interview with Chair Entertainment creative [...]
I Learned Something Today: Red Dead Redemption
America may be a melting pot, but the true flag bearers exist in a world of leather, blood and endless whiskey. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone on vacation, and seeing as I consider myself a modern day cowboy (subtract the relevant skills and multiply the sex appeal) I figured a trip out to the [...]
