More Planetside 2 Goodness – The E3 2012 Theater Video
The Vanu Heavy Assaulter. Pray for a quick death, scumbags.
For those of you who couldn’t make it to E3 2012, you missed a lot, as we are sure you know. Among the things you missed were a vast number of behind-closed-doors, theater style videos which highlighted the upcoming goodness of the games they were representing.
For many games, the vast majority of gamers will never get to see the videos we journalists got to view. In the case of Planetside 2, however, Sony Online Entertainment has seen fit to release the theater video to the public and we have a copy of it for your enjoyment.
Skyrim Rises Again With Dawnguard – The Brand New Expansion – Some Spoilers
MOAR SKYRIM!!! Back into hybernation for millions!
Months and months ago, I wrote a funny little article about Skyrim and what was going to happen when it released. With today’s release of the new expansion, Dawnguard, I figure the women of the world should re-read the original article and prepare for round 2 because things are about to get lonely for them.
Post-E3-2012 Shenanigans…New Games Coming!
We all know a lot of crazy stuff went down at E3 and we all know that, during the hustle and bustle of the largest gaming show in the world, a lot of things can get lost in the mix. Of course they do…and when they do, we get to spend some time playing catch up on some of the one which slip through the cracks.
Here it is, just a couple of weeks after E3 and we’ve been asked to review a few titles which got buried, between the launch of a particular Blizzard game and the big show.
$99 Xbox 360 + Kinect Bundle: Now Available At Stores You Go To
A few months ago, Microsoft unveiled a new $99 Xbox 360/Kinect bundle that was subsidized by a $15/month subscription and we called it the way of the future. Well, not quite, but the offer was only available at Microsoft Stores. Who goes there? What is that, even?
The Oldest Gaming Group In The World
The Musketeers. They’ve been around a LONG time.
…They’ve Been Around Longer Than You May Think.
When we talk about gamers, these days, some people think about kids sitting around their parents’ house, isolated, hiding from society. These people think gamers are cut off and living in a self-imposed banishment, out of the eyes and spotlight of the world.
This couldn’t be further from the truth, in many instances. At E3, I interviewed the founder of an organization called “Extra-Life”, which spends all of its energy on sick children and gaining the help of gamers across the planet to raise money to help those kids. During that interview, Jeromy pointed out that gamers are actually some of the most socially connected people in the world and he’s right.
Spy Vs. Spy? It Is A Riddle, Wrapped In A Mystery, Inside An Enigma!
The Enigma Machine has NOTHING on this mystery!
Just a few minutes ago, I got an email. That email contains a picture of the Spies from Mad Magazine’s Spy Vs. Spy (Known as Yin and Yang) and is very cryptic, indicating that there’s a clue to something big included.
WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!?!?!
Is E3 Staying In Los Angeles After All? [UPDATE: Uh, Maybe Not]

Just after E3 ended, word spread that its owner, the Entertainment Software Association, was looking at alternate sites for the world’s largest gaming exposition. While we’ve nagged about how dreadful a place Los Angeles must be to live in based on our visits (except Johnny, natch), any site capable of hosting E3 would have to be massive, overdeveloped, and annoyingly crowded, but perhaps in a slightly different environment.

I Don’t Think You Understand How Perfect Geometry Wars 2 Is

Bizarre Creations’ Project Gotham Racing 2 wasn’t just the best console game of all time, it hosted a whole other game in its cavernous virtual spaces: the protoypical Geometry Wars. It seems more like a sideshow attraction, a hidden experiment not meant for human eyes, rather than something that would become an iconic Xbox Live Arcade titles. While the series has had a number of installments over the past eight years, it was Geometry Wars 2 that serves as the high mark of the series, and the one you should own immediately.
Why Is Polygon Apologizing For Its Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor Review?
A smattering of supporting reviews for Polygon’s Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor review.
I don’t want to play Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor. Never. I have absolutely zero interest in playing a game that’s geared toward becoming a Kinect game for a hardcore audience, because I’ve used Kinect, and it’s pretty rubbish. (You’ll notice that most of Microsoft’s new Kinect functionality has little to do with the sensor and everything to do with talking to its microphone.) Of course, a big new site like Polygon, the culmination of a billion other major gaming outlets, has an obligation to give it a whirl and let the masses about it. They don’t like it either, and yet they felt that the entire last half should be a report on other people who felt like they do, as if they need to justify their lowly 1 out of 10 score. Why?
