Shank: Review
Game Description: A bloody and brutal side scrolling beat ‘em up from indy developer Klei Entertainment. Shank is a relatively simple game with undertones of complex brilliance. You take control of our “hero” aptly named, Shank, an ex gang member out to seek revenge on his former boss. Sound familiar? Well it should, but it [...]
Episode 35: Smuggling games in Diapers
Tom and Brian return with the exciting news of what Tom’s baby will be… boy or girl? We also get into Mod Nation for the PS3, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Dragon Age Awakenings, and I surpass Tom on platinum trophies. We also talk Inglorious Basterds and Van Damme’s latest movie. All this and more.
Gamescom: Marvel vs Capcom 3 gets Viewtiful Joe and…Dormammu?
We’re getting all kinds of goodness coming out of Gamescom this year. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 gave us yet another juicy nugget by releasing two more playable characters. Viewtiful Joe is a pretty obvious choice for the Capcom side. His high flying fast, paced combat is perfect for the MvC series and I’m excited to see some [...]
Week of August 15th: New Releases
This weekend was a bit of a drag as I didn’t get much gaming done. I played a little more ModNation (check out my review) but I was a bit disheartened as the majority of my remaining trophies require a ridiculous amount of online play. It’s not as simple as leveling up and winning some races. There [...]
ModNation Racers: Review
Game Description: United Front Games’ first official release births the bastard love child of Mario Kart and Little Big Planet. This fresh new look at the Kart Racing genre gives you classic Kart racing action matched with deep controls and an incredible creation feature. I’ve been anticipating ModNation Racers ever since the unveiling way back [...]
Week of August 8th: New Releases
Not much out this week to tickle my fancy. I guess that Madden game is pretty popular for a couple people. Another weekend down and several more hours spent creating amazingness on ModNation Racers. This go around I made a Wally West Flash and his own personal Flashmobile. While there are already dozens of Flash [...]
Alan Wake DLC: The Signal
Just when I thought I figured out what was going on in Alan Wake, I had to go and play “The Signal.” I had an hour long conversation with SuperTom exploring the plot and feeling comfortable with my conclusion, and then it all went to hell. “The Signal,” the first of two DLC packs for Alan [...]
Week of August 1st: New Releases
So what are game companies to do when there’s nothing new to release? Ooooh, I know, release crappy 2 packs! So now when you throw your money away you can have twice the disappointment. This weekend I finally jumped in to ModNation Racers. Way back at E3 2009 when they first showed a preview for this [...]
Medal of Honor Beta
I had the opportunity to play the Beta version of the Medal of Honor multiplayer portion of the game, and found it to not be the Call-of-Duty-Killer it hoped to be. In a way, it reminds me of a slightly graphically better version of Battlefield 1943, with the formation of the levels, how quickly and [...]
Metro 2033: Review Bit
Game Description: A first-person shooter set in the dark and dreary subterranean, post-apocalyptic Russia. Imagine Fallout 3 meets a crap load of load screens. I probably would have liked this game more if I hadn’t played a much better version of it called, Fallout 3, first. Don’t get me wrong, Metro 2033, was a decent [...]
