City of Steam Developers Release New Journal, Let You Blow Up Barrels

Videogames have allowed me to become the pyromaniac I could never be.

Mechanist Games has been hard at work on their upcoming post-Steampunk MMO City of Steam. We got a chance to play it a few months ago during one of the game’s Alpha access weekends and it’s pretty nifty. Well, the team has released a new Development Journal in which they explain their working relationship with the Unity game engine (which is popping up everywhere) and, well, barrels. Yep, barrels.

Ghostbusters: Paranormal Blast Gets A Major Update, Wins Back Hearts (iOS)

A supernatural update from the misty beyond.

I’d like to think that my review of Ghostbusters: Paranormal Blast had something to do with the most recent update released on Wednesday. XMG Studio Inc., the wonderful studio who developed my favorite portable Ghostbuster game, has finally done some justice to the coolest franchise ever.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops II: Zombie Hunter: Awesome Sauce

I think it’s time to move into another neighborhood.

It’s no surprise to see that Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has some zombies tagged along for the epic ride. I mean, it’s like their thing now. However, unlike the previous zombie modes, this years iteration takes blastin’ heads off to a whole new level.

Robots And Pencils Prepped To Launch “Heartland”

The Horse Texterer?

I’m gonna be honest with you…I don’t know what to think about this one. We got notice today that Robots and Pencils is getting ready to launch a new title on iOS and that it’s going to be called heartland. These things, I’m totally ok with. Then I read on a bit more and discovered that it’s a ranch management game and my brain took a major left turn.

New Minecraft Snapshot Overhauls Lighting System

Why is it dark over there?

The new Minecraft snapshot 12c39a didn’t add any new features per se but it did overhaul what I thought was the biggest issue in a long time, the lighting. What was wrong with the lighting? If you have to ask then you aren’t playing enough Minecraft. The issue was weird lighting shadows in the daylight that would be blacked out and wouldn’t update until you were psychically touching the blocks. Read the rest of this article…

Check Out Eliza Dushku Rapping About Her Console

What do those buttons do?

Besides being super hot, apparently Eliza Dushku is a gamer. Check her out in this music video that reminds of Natalie’s Rap, the SNL skit from a few years ago. It’s from IGN and starts out with her walking in on a couple of dudes who doesn’t think she can hang because they are talking about games, you know manly stuff. Read the rest of this article…

The Game Genome Is To Android Games As Pandora Is To Music

The Game Genome Is To Android Games As Pandora Is To Music

Select some stuff, find some games!

It’s not a problem exclusive to Android, but finding games in the Play Store, especially ones you actually want to play, can be a trial. Sure, you can claw up and down the Top Selling lists, but then you’re just seeking better-selling versions of what you might be into. And then you’re missing out on games just because they’re not selling right there and then. And you can search web sites and read reviews, but in the end, you just don’t have enough info. So how do you solve the Recommendation issue? You get something the Game Genome project.

More Minecraft Star Wars?  YES PLZ!

OMG WALKERS!

A few months ago we showed you an amazing Star Wars video which was done entirely in Minecraft and recreated the trench run from the end of episode IV, A New Hope.

Today we got a notice from the creator, Paradise Decay, that he has created a sequel the the original, which absolutely blew my mind, and that we have a nice exclusive of it.

Dishonored: The Tales of Dunwall, The Awakening

Let’s make a deal!

Check out the first part of a three part prequel for Dishonored showing a little more back story on Dunwall, the whaling city where plague is rampant and the city is in disarray and on the verge of dystopia. These prequels are scored by Daniel Licht (Dexter), narrated by Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick Ass) and created by Psyop, each episode was predominantly produced by hand. Each frame was a fully rendered style frame, which was then enhanced with 3D elements to add to the painterly atmosphere, dimension and depth of each shot. Read the rest of this article…
