Broforce is my kinda awesome

The past couple years have been slick with irony. Everywhere you look people are doing things they do not really enjoy for indecipherable reasons. Over time this has slowly evolved into an unironic appreciation of the ironic; this may or may not itself be ironic. In more succinct terms, the irony has backfired and made me personally, enjoy what are objectively the dumbest things. That is why, when I received an email informing me of the existence of a game called Broforce I...

Activision releases “Actual Ghosts” DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts

In spite of April tomfoolery, Activision steamed forward and stealth released a new DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. The DLC, named Actual Ghosts, does not have a price but rather runic symbols that feel familiar despite being untranslatable. We can expect to see a patch soon though as we are hearing cases of a glitch that causes your system to scream ceaselessly upon downloading Actual Ghosts. It contains 666 new maps, 664 of them being a single cell that your character...

5 Changes that could make Batman: Arkham Knight the best in the series

Before we begin let us get my personal bias out of the way. I loved Batman: Arkham Asylum, loathed Arkham City, and did not even bother to play Batman: Arkham Origins. With that in mind, Batman: Arkham Knight has me hopeful. Current-Gen hardware is still something of a mystery in terms of what is possible. Rocksteady could create a living world, full of secrets and joy. They could also create a stark wasteland, full of meaningless collectables and even more meaningless fetch...

Breaking Dark Souls

I summoned a phantom named SonFlower9. We strode into the Kiln of the First Flame, destroying Dark Souls’ toughest enemies with little effort. Before the gate of the final boss we both praised the sun and dove into Gywn’s domain. My wife shouted beside me with both encouragement and fretful cries. After a time it seemed we were winning, ever so little we were winning this fight. Suddenly my ghostly friend found himself stuck in a corner. The now heavily wounded...

Dark Souls 2 Prologue Trailer 1

Having recently completed Dark Souls my hype glands are working overtime for Dark Souls 2. From Software captured lightning in a bottle twice and seems well on their way to doing it once more. But until its release we must feed on souls, er, trailers in order to satiate our dark desires. So enjoy the Dark Souls 2 Prologue 1 trailer. Judging by the title I assume there will be another very soon. Gamers who pre-order the game will be upgraded to the Black Armor Edition which...
