XCOM: Enemy Unknown Single-Player Demo Leaves Me Feeling Lukewarm
And boom goes the Sectoid.
Hmmm. Look, you already know my position on X-COM. As of E3, you even knew what my feelings were about the new XCOM: Enemy Unknown, at least in video form. But now that I’ve been able to get my hands on with Firaxis’ reinvention of the nearly twenty year-old series, and not just a multiplayer skirmish thing, but the actual campaign I’ve been waiting years for, I… just don’t know. I just don’t. Let me reveal Enemy Unknown’s secrets to you and hopefully not get hung up on a slight demo.
Guild Wars 2 Review: Re-Invention This Isn’t, But I Still Like It
Nothing like running around as a horned, four-eared bipedal cat monster deploying turrets!
Anyone who has played MMO’s in recent years can tell you that they’ve been… less than on-par in the quality department, from the tried-and-true WoW clones or repeats of City of Heroes, to the different but somewhat inaccessible EVE Online and Maple Story, to unique but less-than-visible games like Vindictus , Dungeon Fighter Online, or even The Secret World, all of which want to bring something new to this market, but haven’t had the chops to make it happen. Read the rest of this article…
Planetside 2 Player’s Guide – The Basics
My boys with the NC are locking it down!
Hey folks! We’ve been deep into the Planetside 2 beta for quite a while now and I know that a lot of the people who are new to the game tend to be faced with a bit of a learning curve. Since there is no real documentation laid out yet, I figured I’d sit down and write up a short guide as a primer for all of you who are new and those of you who will be joining the beta in the weeks to come.
Hope this helps all of you!
Home Review: Intimate Indie Horror For The Price Of A Gordita
Humble graphics frame a grisly story.
It’s super easy to play off Home’s humble visual motif. Haha, that guy in the masthead looks like a crappy version of Mario, how can it possibly generate the creeps? Assembled by Benjamin Davis and available for $2.99 on Steam (admittedly, I don’t know the street value of a Gordita off-hand, but it has to be close to that), Home is a classically-trained creepfest well worth your dollars.
Train Simulator 2013 Now Available. ALL ABOARD!
Get your Choo-Choo on!
When I was a kid, I had a couple of model train sets, a hobby which was inspired by that of my father, who had built a massive model train set when he was younger. I was never into it to the point that he was and never built anything even remotely as colossal or intricate as the things he had done but I did like building new sets and patterns and running my trains around the tracks.
That’s right, I had toy trains. And they were fun. I think they would have been more fun if I’d actually been inside them, driving them and hauling ass all over the place. Well, now kids all over the world can live that dream.
Worms Revolution Presents Warring Worms, In-Game Movie
Waaaaaar!
Weta Workshop Builds Valve A Real Portal Turret
Hello? Are you still there?
Many people have tried to replicate the mechanical goodness of Portal’s existentially-challenged turrets, but none have quite reached the fidelity of Weta’s new version. Shipped to Valve in a Aperture Science-themed box, the turret is pretty deluxe, as one would expect from the special effects house of Lord of the Rings and Avatar. Check out the unboxing video below!
Halo 4, Covenant Weapons, And Dubstep
Can’t tell if I’m hearing a fuel rod cannon discharging or dubstep.
It wouldn’t be a Halo game with out showing off numerous amounts of powerful weapons to fans. Halo Waypoint has recently released a not-so-exclusive video all about the Covenant’s weapon arsenal. And dubstep.
Can Obsidian Build Project Eternity On Such A Small Budget?
It all looks so big and promising, but how can they pull it off?
In case you were somehow unaware, we love covering Kickstarter projects here. Obsidian, the developer behind modern titles like Fallout: New Vegas, Alpha Protocol, and Neverwinter Nights 2 – and in a previous life, Fallout, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment – want your dollars. The mostly ex-Black Isle guys have never had a breakout hit and have really lived on bringing decent sequels to other franchises, perhaps out of respect to the talent on-board. Well, now they want to prove their worth to the world on their own merits.
