APB Finds A Buyer And Re-Launching In 2011

by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 16th of November 2010 - 06:12 PM ]

Two months ago the company known as Realtime Worlds announced that the First-Person-Shooter-MMO All Points Bulletin was shutting down, and being laid to rest. Many people fought to get their money back, and EA was pretty cool about the whole thing. Not knowing if it would ever be revived, rumors started flying that companies around the globe were looking at buying APB and its fate was held in the balance. Well it looks like the California based GamersFirst and its subsidiary company Reloaded will resurrect APB early next year. The question stands, will it have a better launch than it did its first time around? Read More...

Splatter Kills Galore In Splatterhouse

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 15th of November 2010 - 05:55 PM ]

Splatterhouse is going to be violent. There is no doubt to that at all. Queue the questionâ€¦ But how violent is it? Well if you look below, you can get a view of some of the new shots of some of the "Splatter Kills" in the game. These are some of those over the top finishing moves that Rick will be performing at your behest. These apparently are the mild ones too as some have been rumored to cause dry heaves in the developer's studio. While I am sure that Splatterhouse's special and stylized kill moves will be awesome and unique, I have doubts that they will have the same effect on us desensitized gamers. Read More...

New L.A. Noire Trailer May Make Or Break You

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 12th of November 2010 - 09:31 PM ]

Heavy Rain was my first real endeavor into the "crime drama" genre of video games. I am talking real crime drama style here as well. After watching the below trailer for L.A. Noire, I think I might be making the jump back into a genre that has only caught my eye once. While there is not much given away, I will say that it looks to be an intense experience with some crazy events that will transpire. It is RockStar after all. Also another thing to note, just like the previously mentioned Heavy Rain, the facial and character movements seem to be pushing the envelope. Read More...

It's On Like Donkey Kong... You'll Have To Pay To Use It

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 12th of November 2010 - 04:24 PM ]

What do I mean by that? Well it looks like Nintendo has filed with the U.S. Patent&Trademark Office to actually trademark the phrase "It's On Like Donkey Kong." Yeaâ€¦ All because of the new Donkey Kong game coming out for the Wii here in the coming weeks. It's like they see people using that phrase more in all forms of media because they are cashing in on gamer nostalgia again. It only took them almost 30 years to actually do this. Honestly, what do they plan on getting from this? Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 11th of November 2010 - 10:08 PM ]

In this case the crusader is Gabriel Belmont, a man out for vengeance as the dark powers killed his wife and have been destroying his homeland. Who better to take up the charge?

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Is Loaded With Zombies

by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 9th of November 2010 - 04:48 PM ]

So if you stayed up till midnight, or are heading to the store to pick up your copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops today you're actually getting multiple games for the price of one. If you want to avoid spoilers and find out everything on your own, go no further. The path you take here will lead to certain destruction. With the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops we've already got our first look at an unlockable mini-game called Dead Ops Arcade. This overhead arcade style shooter is very reminiscent of Alien Breed. Read More...

Play Ring Around The Necromorph In Dead Space 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 8th of November 2010 - 10:04 PM ]

While I doubt this will be a game play mode for the upcoming Dead Space 2 multiplayer, that doesn't make the below trailer for the game any less creepy and awesome. Just about on par with the awesome "Twinkle Little Star" trailer from the first Dead Space. Which I will add, there is nothing creepier than having a three year old look at you and start singing that version at you in a cold, dark game room. Check it out. Pretty damn awesome huh?

Evil Dead Or Splatterhouse Or Both?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 4th of November 2010 - 09:41 PM ]

No there is no crazy Ash reference or extra skin for the game. But there are a bunch of new screen shots showing off some great Boom Stick and Chainsaw action. Something I am sure that Ash would completely be on par with if he was locked in the West Mansion looking for his girlfriend. That's not all we got here though. These are also some shots from the Survival Arenas of Splatterhouse. For the uninitiated they are an "unlockable 20 rounds of unending horror which enable players to take on ever increasing waves of grotesque monsters in a test of endurance and strength. Read More...

Review: Guardians of Graxia

by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 2nd of November 2010 - 11:45 PM ]

Petroglyph Games is one of those companies that you never know exactly what they're going to do next. Coming from a background of RTS video games and making a splash in the CCG/board game market, they are definitely a company to keep an eye on. With their diverse experience, Petroglyph Games have decided to take the best of both worlds and mash them together into a tiny download for about $9.99. They call it Guardians of Graxia.

Pigsy's Perfect 10 Is Not A Porn As It Sounds

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 2nd of November 2010 - 06:22 PM ]

Maybe it is just me, but the title of the upcoming DLC for Enslaved: Odyssey To The West really sounds like a porn title. If you have played the game and run into the titular character for this DLC it's even more likely that you can make that jump in logic. I mean the character Pigsy is, well, a pig when it comes to the female populace. To go further into the thought on the DLC, the premise from the sounds of it is that Pigsy is tired of being lonely and wants to build his perfect fembot. At least this is the sum up from the press release and trailer. Read More...

Splatterhouse Has A Theme Park

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 29th of October 2010 - 09:02 PM ]

No, I'm not talking some Halloween park inspired by the game, although that would be awesome. (I just Â©ed that.) Instead it is a glimpse of another location in the upcoming Splatterhouse "remake." Although I think that a different name should have been used, but hey, I guess Dandyland works. I do expect Namco to have a few "homophobic" articles to pop over this - just like Enslaved and the "racism." In the end though, that should be the last bit of news to surface for Splatterhouse. Well besides the game going Gold and locking in the November 23rd release date. Read More...

Review: God of War: Ghost of Sparta

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 28th of October 2010 - 09:05 PM ]

Kratos is back yet again to take on the gods for the torment they have put him through. Well kind of. Kratos is back to show the world why he was so pissed at the beginning of God of War 2 - not to mention that finally one of the original storylines for the franchise is brought into the mix. In fact, it is the pivotal point for the whole story this time. The focus revolving around Kratos having a brother that was taken to the Underworld. Read More...

Review: Rock Band 3 [Gamer Version]

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 26th of October 2010 - 08:53 PM ]

So here we go again. Another rhythm game comes to the market, only this time it is one that is truly trying to innovate the genre. I am talking in more ways than just trying to add new ways to play songs in the way of four guitars or adding challenges to earn more points and "stars." Though we already knew that Rock Band 3 was adding in a new instrument and a "Learn To Play Real Instruments" mode, it's how they went about it that changes the genre. This of course makes Rock Band 3 more than just another game. Being that there is so much going on with Rock Band 3, I've decided to break it up into two reviews. Read More...

Blizzcon 2010 In A Nutshell

by Corey Dockendorf [ Monday, 25th of October 2010 - 10:16 PM ]

Here we are, the day after the most anticipated weekend of conventions, Blizzcon. For your typical Blizzcon, it seemed they didn't have any major announcements this year. No Diablo III release date. No word on their new MMO (World of Jersey Shorecraft??) but I will say the cosplay contest was probably the best I've seen so far. Chris Metzen hosted this year's keynote, and after some Blizzard buffs, we broke into a steady run of news beginning with the next WoW expansion. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be on sale December 7th, and for those that don't want to wait in line at midnight, players can buy and download directly from the website in advance. Read More...
