WarCorner: Blizzard Announces Vanity Pet Murkablo

by Corey Dockendorf [ Friday, 26th of August 2011 - 05:43 PM ]

Blizzcon is less than two months away and Blizzard has just announced that players who attend Blizzcon '11 on October 21st and 22nd at the Anaheim convention or those that pay $40 for the Pay Per View virtual ticket, will get the highly anticipated vanity pet Murkablo. It's like having a little Diablo in your Warcraft. Although this is not the first Diablo vanity pet found in World of Warcraft, as Mini-Tyrael was the pet given out at Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational back in 2008, it's still very exciting. We saw some brief video of this little fire breather back in June when a few data mining sites pulled him from the "depths of hell" and gave us a short preview. Read More...

Inversion Lets You Co-Op With More Than Gravity

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 11th of August 2011 - 07:09 PM ]

As if manipulating gravity for your own needs in Inversion wasn't advantage enough, you can also have a buddy in the mix doing the same thing. Given the story of the game, I can understand why co-op fits in. Saving the day is more than a one-person job, even for Davis - the main character. I get that. Though, for far as a game goes, it just seems like it may be too much firepower on your side compared to the challenge of the main Campaign Mode. I was able to make it through the E3 demo of the game not firing a single shot from anything but the gravity gun without much of an issue. Read More...

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 10th of August 2011 - 05:17 PM ]

Mobile gaming has come a long way in terms of game design and depth. One of the leading developers in this area is Kairosoft. Their first big hit, Game Dev Story, turned a lot of heads, gaining critical acclaim for their simulation of running a video game development studio. Their latest release on the Android platform is Grand Prix Story – a simulation of running an automobile racing team. Start your smart phones! You start out by choosing your racing team’s name.

Dead Island Shows How Team Work Is Golden During Zompocalypse

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 9th of August 2011 - 09:56 PM ]

When choosing one's zombie team, you generally want to have a good group whom you know will watch your back and not hesitate to kill a zombie. There is no room for cry baby whiners who will end up killing you and the group down the line. It is just good tactics for survival. It would seem very amateurish if you didn't know that rule when it comes to surviving the zombie plague be it urban or not. So what is the big news here as it clearly isn't just a lesson on surviving Zompocalypse? Well Dead Island has officially gone gold so we can expect it to keep the September 6th launch date.

The Tester Season 3 Is Upon Us

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 4th of August 2011 - 10:56 PM ]

Well this was a little unexpected. Last time it was announced during E3 and was a major thing Sony wanted to bring up. Unless their plan was to use QuakeCon to help the announcement. Then spot on. Oh, by the way, I am talking about the announcement for the third season of The Tester. You know that PSN/PS3 exclusive "reality show" that has gone two years now. Now normally, after what happened last time, I'd have some scoffing and guffawing about this. It's just how I'd feel. Read More...

Dead Island Is Making Curb-Stomping A Good Thing

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 2nd of August 2011 - 08:50 PM ]

It should be well known by now that each of the four playable characters in Dead Island has a finishing move for the undead when they are brought to their knees. The undead, not the character. Most of these moves include a stomp to the head or some other way of putting the final nail in the coffin for the undead. The below screen shots should be a good example of what I am talking about if you are still in the dark. Now for my extra two cents. Read More...

Diablo III Brings Real Currency Trading

by Corey Dockendorf [ Monday, 1st of August 2011 - 09:38 PM ]

Well here's some interesting Diablo III news. Players will be able to exchange in game items for real currency! The service will be hosted through an unannounced third party company. The Auction House will be very similar to an E-Bay style system but also completely optional. Players will be able to purchase gold, weapons, armor and runestones on their current Battle.net accounts, but Blizzard says there will be no "Game play affecting" items available for this type of trade. At the time of this writing Blizzard has no plans to post items directly and will leave the item trading up to the players. Read More...

Review: Captain America: Super Soldier

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 19th of July 2011 - 09:41 PM ]

Just as other reviews recently, it is time yet again to take a look at another video game based on a Big Budget film. This time it is Captain America: Super Soldier based around the hero and forthcoming film of similar, but not exact title. Could this just be more slop like the Spider Man 3 game or can it actual surpass and be something worth your time? Let's take a look at how Cap' shapes up. The Story Intelligence has gotten back to the Allies that some of the allies to the Axis powers have been forging new technology that rivals that of Stark Industries during WWII. Read More...

It's Time To Get Raptured...BioShock Style

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 14th of July 2011 - 10:57 PM ]

Hear ye! Hear ye! Rapture is upon us and it closer than most of you might think. It wasn't back in May. Nor is it in October this year. I am prognosticating that it will be here in a matter of days. In fact I am prognosticating that it will be here on July the nineteenth two thousand eleven (7/19/11). Then again it isn't much of foretelling of the future as that is the release date of the novel based around the BioShock universe is slated to hit selves. BioShock: Rapture is a book written by John Shirley. Read More...
