I know a patience trier and though art EA

Dale De Ruiter — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:39:19 +0100

I know the focus groups at EA regarding Battlefield Bad Company 2 have probably been called off for a while now but I can't help hoping they hear my plea of complete despair.

I know EA is in touch with their audience and that is why they keep releasing rad awesome games. If the company is so in touch how could they make the over sight of turning off their servers at midnight on a Friday night. I just went bonkers. How could they do this to me.

I know it wasn't really some soRead more

Deus Ex 3 Teaser

Eddie Beal — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:34:27 +0100

Right now 2010 seems to be shaping up to be one major money drain for gamers. The variety of games seem to have something for everyone. For me, Heavy Rain had some flaws but largely lived up to my expectations. Splinter Cell Conviction is looking like Sam Fisher meets Max Payne which, if so, will be awesome. Speaking of Max Payne, Remedy looks prepared to surpass that series with Alan Wake. Valve has announced Portal 2 for release this year. Halo Reach looks to be at least a solid and potentiRead more

Just Talking Episode 21 (featuring Marc Washington)

Marc "Phoenix410" Washington — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:49:38 +0100

It's very fitting that on Chris "SugarFree" Snider's show (Just Talking) episode 21 that I'm on it. Seeing as though 21 is when a kid "becomes" an adult......well on this episode I shed the curtain down on what makes me tick. The interview was very odd for me simply because I'm a very private person, I LOVE podcasting and my fellow co-hosts. I've always wanted to do this and now you see the man behind the scenes. I would like to see what the community thinks about the show. Leave feedbacRead more

How it should have ended

Portal - Valuable Asset Retrieval

Eddie Beal — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:29:48 +0100

Portal has updated on Steam. According to the press release they "Added Valuable Asset Retrieval." What does this mean? Well, the ending has changed. For those who might be playing Portal/The Orange Box on the 360 and not Steam here's the video.

Can you say Portal 2? I'm sure you can (hopefully packaged with a certain other anticipated Valve title).

UPDATE: After thinking about this, Valuable Asset Retrieval sounds like something from the G-Man (doubtRead more

Heavy Rain (One Man's Opinion)

Tyler — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 03:46:27 +0100

There are those games that serve as little more than a slight diversion on a lazy weekend. Where, once completed, leaves you with the feeling of an unsuccessful night on the town. Sure you got your drink on, had a little fun, and feel great for just having left the house. Then there are those games that, when all is said and done, stay with you and become talking points for conversations with friends.

Then there is Heavy Rain.

To call this a game is to miss theRead more

Why ME2 is Better/Worse than ME1 (Pt 1)

Kyle Orr — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 06:08:04 +0100

On a recent episode of Talking About Gamers I voiced some of my strong opinions on Mass Effect 2 and proclaimed that I still hold Mass Effect 1 to be the superior game. In this series of blog posts I'm going to go into even more detail and hopefully get more thoughts out than I was able to on the show.

In this particular post I'm going to look at the direction Mass Effect 2 took with the powers system.

For better or worse, hit the jump.

Tales of the Impulse Buyer

Samuel Colunga — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:28:54 +0100

I was a huge impulse buyer back in the day. Then I grew up, started paying bills and I cut that stuff out. Today was the return of my impulse buying days when I saw that Darksiders was on sale on Amazon.com Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeyt, I clicked that buy button so fast my computer almost couldn't handle it.

I'll have Darksiders in my hands in two days.

Good day, sir.
