Heathfire Sticks with Crappy Xbox 30 Exclusive Rule New Skyrim ‘Hearthfire’ DLC Announced, Debut Trailer Released Article on Hearthfire above. This whole exclusivity thing is out of control.

Batman Arkham Asylum was, to say the least, a surprise smash hit, earning a lot of Game of the Year praise in 2009. Comic book games have a spotty history, particularly outside of the arcade, and Batman games in the past never strayed from that trend with many of them being downright awful. Arkham Asylum combined stealth along with action-adventure elements, true to the Dark Knight’s style. The story was quality (thanks to veteran writer … Continue reading

Batman – Arkham City is one of my most anticipated titles of this year, which is saying a lot. Arkham Asylum was quite the surprise hit, in that it was a comic book property done well in game form. Cash-in comic book games, like most films or book to game properties are usually poor to say the least. Arkham Asylum changed that with a good storyline, excellent graphics and a beautiful, flowing, yet simple to … Continue reading

Brink made a promise upon it initial debut to reinvent or at the least reinvigorate the first person shooter. Early media gave us glimpses of highly stylized characters and an interesting mixture of traditional shooting mechanics with free-running (parkour) mixed in for good measure. Most people were touting the game as Mirror’s Edge with much more shooting. So how does Brink measure up to expectations? Basics of Brink I took me only a couple nights, … Continue reading
Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition Just like they did with ME2 there will be a N7 collectors edition for Mass Effect 3 and it comes with some pretty cool stuff. Mass Effect 2 got a similar treatment plus a connection to the “Cerberus Network” which served as the DLC downloader and activator for collector’s edition owners. Just like the recently announced Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition, the Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition is getting the … Continue reading
Every year the question after E3 is who won? Sometimes its clear-cut, other times things are simply divided by fanboy (and/or girl) lines. ”Insert Console Company” kick “Insert other Console Company’s ass this year. Oh, and Nintendo is for kids! “Console Company” is for “insert favorite ethnic or homophobic slur”. Well this year doesn’t seem to be too much different with reactions coming in for and against Vita, Wii U and the heavy dosage of … Continue reading
Microsoft E3 2011 I guess MS doesn’t hold press conferences, they hold “Global Media Briefings” Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Demo Opens straight with Modern Warfare 3 footage, which is actually pretty cool. Underwater incursion into a sub-marine. After surfacing it looks like we are in the U.S., probably New York, which holds to the World War III info that has been floating around. Visually looks excellent, standard CoD gameplay. We’ll have to wait … Continue reading
