We’ve all heard the argument that games are art. There’s been discussions on podcasts, interviews and in articles. There’s been talk of the cross-over from games to movies and how they seem to be moving closer together each day. Well, now we have a little more proof that videogames are starting to be appreciated on a much larger scale. Yesterday, I saw an interesting tweet from Kellee Santiago, Ex Co-founder of thatgamecompany, creators of Journey. She...
You have from now until Tuesday November 27th to pick up Primal Carnage, Ravaged and Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken at hugely discounted prices on Steam. We reviewed Rocketbirds when it first appeared on PSN last year and Chris loved it. The LevelSave team spent some time with Primal Carnage at PAX Prime this year and we had a great time with it as well. Ravaged has had a permanent price drop to $9.99 recently and now you’ll be able to purchase it for $4.99, 50%...
This post was originally supposed to be about the 8 year anniversary World of Warcraft video. A reader posted a link to it on another one of our WoW articles. No big deal, watch the video, write some info for the readers, then post. That is what was supposed to happen. After hitting play on the video below, that all changed for me. When the original title theme for WoW started, I could feel the music start to tug on my heartstrings. It had been so long since I’ve heard...
On the Playstation Blog, Seth Killian announced today that Emmet graves from Starhawk and Kat from Gravity Rush will be coming as DLC to Playstation Allstars Battle Royale early 2013. Not only are they coming but for the first two weeks they appear on the Playstation store, they’ll be free! You’ll have a two week window to download them, if you do they are yours forever, this is not a trial period. Miss your window though and you’ll be stuck coughing up...
Rockstar is definately one of the few developers who can go from releasing nothing but a screenshot to full on trailers by the bucket loads. Is it bad that a single trailer changed my mindset about this game from “meh” to “hells yeah!”? Because if it is, then sue me. Grand Theft Auto V’s new trailer shows off our three protaganists in a Los Santos filled with planes, trains, and automobiles as well as a lift on that annoying ban on dogs they had...
Sometimes, well maybe even more so then not, less is more. When a developer decides to keep their game focused on specific mechanics, it has the potential to polish these mechanics to an incredible shine. The little puzzle game Storm from indiePub is a perfect example of this. Storm bestowed upon me, the control over rain, wind and lightening, in order to move seedlings from tree to fertile soil. The controls were simple enough for a chimp, me, to understand; wind = left...
Pre-orders for Gears of War Judgment went live last week. Every pre-order for GoW Judgement comes a Classic Hammerburst, no matter where you pre-order it. It’s not just the skin, but the actual in-game weapon. Different retailers are offering different character skins for pre-ordering through them though. The skins that are being used to leverage pre-orders are Young Marcus, Young Dom, Anya and Alex Brand. Young Dom can be obtained through a pre-order with Amazon...
What the hell is going on today? First Mass Effect 2 being shipped in place of disc 2 for Call of Duty Black Ops 2, now Lego LOTR demo being shipped instead of the full game? After gameinformer reported on this, Andrew Reiner, editor for gameinformer went to purchase the game. He was told at one store that it had already been recalled. Apparently this only a problem for the Xbox 360 version, with the PS3 version including the real game. You know when you go to a fast food...
IGN’s Andrew Garfep Goldfarb has reported that players that have purchased the PC version of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 are ending up with Mass Effect 2. Not everyone that has purchased the PC version is experiencing this problem though. Apparently disc 2 of Black Ops 2 is really a Mass Effect 2 disc with Black Ops 2 disc art? If this is true, geez, how the hell do you screw that up? Here is a video with a player inserting disc 2 into his computer, only to be told he...
You may have heard about this little charity called Operation: Supply Drop, they take donations of video games, consoles and money to purchase video games and consoles. Care packages are then organized and shipped to our soldiers serving overseas. An enormous multi-city event called 8-bit Salute was created by Stephen Machuga, founder of Operation: Supply Drop. This event is taking place in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and now Las Vegas on November 10th. Those...
