Expect to see new games, expect to be surprised, and expect your mouth to...
Nintendo’s next gaming console, the Wii U, recently released and I was one of the lucky ones to have one pre ordered to buy on day one. Certainly, adding a second screen to play on is a huge game changer as demonstrated in Nintendo Land and ZombiU, but the second biggest game changer is a brand new social network that hasn’t received much buzz just yet. Every Wii U user gets access to a social network called Miiverse. Before logging into Miiverse for the...
I think the meme above says it all. When I have talked to people about why they are not interested in playing video games, one of the biggest reasons is the fact that each video game can cost upwards of $60. That is a lot of money. That can get someone two or three Blu Ray movies, about four 3D movie tickets, or sixty items from a fast food dollar menu, which is enough food to last a couple of weeks. You ever ask yourself why the average console game costs...

After watching the video or reading the bullet points, be sure...
When Sony Santa Monica Studios revealed that God of War: Ascension would have a multiplayer mode, I thought to myself, why would they choose to do this? I’ve been a fan of the God of War since the beginning in 2005. The single player formula is just awesome with interesting puzzles to solve and the epic feeling of wielding the Blades of Chaos. Some of the most satisfying moments I’ve ever had playing video games is just beating enemies to a pulp with the...
The sequel to one of the most successful mobile games of all time has been released. Temple Run 2 has officially landed in the iOS App Store. According to the mobile gaming experts at TouchArcade, the sequel takes place at a temple in the sky. Although the game more or less plays the same, there are some new obstacles to overcome such as mine carts and ziplines. With four unique playable characters and upgradeable abilities, there’s plenty to do in this new...
Today, Nintendo took the opportunity to unveil the next generation of Pokemon for Nintendo 3DS: Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. This is the sixth generation of Pokemon, not a remake of any kind. From the trailer, the most noticeable new features are the new 3D graphics in both world exploration and battles. Battles look a bit cartoony, but really fit the Pokemon series well. Five new Pokemon were revealed including the three starters which are still grass, fire and water as...
