Microsoft E3 2013 Report Card (Halo 5 and Dead Rising 3!)

Okay, so...wow. I went in to the Microsoft E3 press conference with a totally negative attitude. For weeks, I have been denouncing the console at every possible opportunity. The used games policy still bugs me, the entire Internet requirement situation is also a big downer. When I geared up to watch the Microsoft E3 2013 press conference with my buddies, I was expected to laugh and jeer with them at Microsoft's blunders. Boy, is my foot in my mouth now. I wrote about how the Xbox One was more like Xbox Done. I took shots at Xbox One in my preview for [...More ]

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct [ Review ]

When the Walking Dead became a TV sensation due to both its premise and writing, the announcement of a game derived from it was met with skepticism and even dread.

Dead Space 3 [ Review ]

Fans and skeptics alike have been anticipating this latest installment to the Dead Space franchise. The optimists looked forward to the new cooperative gameplay, while skeptics liken this direction towards action-oriented gameplay like what the Resident Evil franchise has become. But as a title in itself, Dead Space 3 has proven to be a solid title that continues the story and has supplemented the trademark combat system of the series with some more good bits.

Graphic novels like Sin City and games movies like the Batman films have successfully transformed the neo-noir genre into something that is extremely marketable and profitable, and that particular trend has been prevalent in some video games as well.

Dead Island: Riptide - Just another day in paradise

A little girl being turned into a zombie, ripping out her father's neck, and the two of them falling through a glass window to their deaths. This was the trailer that rocketed Dead Island from a low budget, niche FPS/RPG hybrid to a major release, selling millions of copies and becoming a cult classic. Of course, the final game is really nothing like that emotional trailer (there's a lot more of bicycle kicking zombies), but Dead Island still found its fans. There has been some confusion as to what exactly Dead Island: Riptide is. It has been confirmed that the game [...More ]

Dead or Alive 5 - Unlocking Secret Characters [ Guide ]

Dead or Alive 5 [ REVIEW ]

Dead or Alive 5 Six years after the last game in the story line came out, we saw the game Dead or Alive 5 come out this month. Dead or Alive has been around for a long long time now but the core development team has changed a lot since the last game. Expectations were luke warm at most for the game with most people unable to figure out what to expect from a franchise which did not take itself too seriously till now - even thought the games which were released had nice runs and decent receptions. Dead or Alive for me always put a picture of [...More ]

Just before the fall gaming rush, there are multiple gaming conventions that help build the hype.

E3 2012 Report Card: Electronic Arts (Dead Space 3 and SimCity!)

Get pumped up...in space Before EA's show actually began, they placed a really awesome highlight reel showing off a lot of their upcoming games, with an upbeat, techno soundtrack that was very well done. Microsoft's biggest problem with their conference was the lack of game focus. EA started their conference strong by actually showing like they care about gaming. EA then promised to show us 10 games throughout their conference, all developed by 10 different studios. Hey, an E3 press conference with a little structure? I can dig it.

The Walking Dead: Episode One [ Review ]

Ever since I was a little kid, I have always been fascinated with zombies. The first zombie flick I ever watched was the remake of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, and my love affair with anything with zombies started from there. From movies to video games, anything with the undead always piques my interests, and when The Walking Dead TV series premiered last year, I believed that I was one of the first that jumped out of my seat with anticipation. Some may not know, however, that the TWD series was based on a comic book series penned by [...More ]

Yakuza: Dead Souls [ Review ]

Yakuza: Dead Souls is a new addition to the world renowned Yakuza action adventure game series.

In Dead Souls, known as ‘Of The End’ in the Japanese version, gamers can portray up to four characters, including characters from the previous games. Players must fight against a zombie outbreak that has spread towards the city of Kamurocho, and they must be able to battle an endless torrent of enemies and bosses in order to halt the condition from [...More ]
