I’m proud to present another gameplay with commentary video for you mutha’ FEZZERS. This time I bring you Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime with the Challenge Pack DLC — which came out yesterday. Review and video after the break!
Gears of War 3 Beta – A Retrospective Look
April 18th – May 15th. That is how long one of the most anticipated betas to ever be beta’d lasted. Gears of War, Microsoft’s second biggest franchise and one of the highest selling exclusive games this generation, had the interwebs and Xbox Live a buzzed with activity when people found out they would be able to play this anticipated game early. Console betas are usually viewed as glorified demos and with the level of polish the Gears 3 beta had, I’m not surprised some think that. But in this case, the beta was used to collect mostly server stats, weapon stats and any random glitches that might exist. So how did I view this beta? Read on.
First Look: Zynga’s Empires And Allies
Oh great, another one. I’d been able to keep Zynga-free until the social gaming company, famous for soul-sapping games like FarmVille, announced they were going to be doing CityVille – a game that tapped straight into my desire for a new SimCity game. I stayed on for about five months longer than I expected, first experiencing the game’s frustrating gameplay limitations, then finally quitting when the game devolved into a mess of ‘bug your neighbors into giving you five of this thing so you can complete some arbitrary goal.’ Empires and Allies is the newest addition to the Zynga stable, which they tout is their largest launch ever, but how long will it hold my interest before it drives me up the wall?
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime DLC “Challenge Pack” Released
Atari has announced it’s DLC for Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime dubbed the Challenge Pack completely under the PKE meter today. The Challenge Pack will let you bust some heads with two new game modes — Arcade Challenge and Lonely Hero. If you have a PS3 and want the new DLC, forget about it. You can only be “challenged” on the PC and Xbox 360 right now for $1.99/160 MS Points. Keep an eye out for more info/updates as I will be posting gameplay commentary to help you decide if it’s really worth the happy mealed price.
Is A Portable Minecraft Worth Playing?
More details have leaked out about the Minecraft Pocket Edition, the mobile version of the indie world-building darling for Android and iOS. The question: as great as it is, will it be worth shedding a lot of the game’s features to get it on our phones?

Alan Wake: A Year Later
The Collector’s Edition. The game. The soundtrack. The bonus disc with extra themes. The universe-building book told from an unseen in-universe character. The Collector’s Edition of the strategy guide. The strategy guide itself. The hardcover book that covered the game’s five-plus years of development, revealing juicy details about so many elements that didn’t make the game. For nearly $100, I bought into the Alan Wake launch to the largest extent I possibly could. Unfortunately, there just weren’t enough of us to bend the world in the way that Remedy needed us to. What happened?
Late To The Game – Xbox Live Haters

Microsoft To Expand Dropout Rate To 360%
We’ve all seen Apples incentive for students who are looking to purchase an iMac or Macbook– they get a “free” 8GB iPod Touch! Most would consider that to be an awesome deal but when you’re spending over 1K for a basic computer, it’s almost a slap in the face. There’s only one other company that I can think of who’s willing to go one step further to buy a student’s heart. Oh hello there, Microsoft. Why don’t you take a seat over there, after the break.
L.A. Noire – The Review
I’ve been at this a while now. Every new case brings new twists and turns. Every new twist and turn brings with it an emotion. Joy, frustration, elation, anger.
Of all the 360’s in all the homes in all the world, L.A. Noire had to fall in to mine.
Rockstar, what HAVE you done?
