Caffeine: Dead Space with a cup o joe

I adore horror games. Well, I say adore but what I really mean is that I hate every second of playing them but then months later I remember them fondly. My absolute favorite series was Dead Space, with its tight corridors and twisted necromorphs. What really drove the horror in Dead Space home though was the isolation. You were in space and, if I may rip the back of the box tagline “There’s No Help Coming.” Knowing that you were alone and that no one is...

The Humble Indie Bundle 11 is Awesome

The Humble Indie Bundles often range from amazing to mediocre with several sitting at average. This time, however, the offer is tilting heavily on awesome. The games included are: Guacamelee! Gold Edition – I reviewed this on PS3 and Vita and loved it. It was actually my 6th Platinum trophy. James reviewed it for PC and as his tagline suggests, you should bring a controller for the PC port. Dust: An Elysian Tail – I also had the privilege of reviewing this on Xbox 360...

10 New Places we want to See in Kingdom Hearts 3

Obvious Statement: Kingdom Hearts is a peculiar game if based solely on its premise. Basing it solely on premise would be a disservice to the franchise though. Beyond your heartfelt memories lies a rock solid action RPG, or card battle system, or dream simulator, or whatever other crazy game Kingdom Hearts happens to be at the time. Whatever the bizarre mechanic, it is sure to be anywhere between good and spectacular. That being said, one of the major pulls for Kingdom...

Why are These Games Not on Vita?

A long while ago I wrote about PSP games that, for one reason or another, are unavailable on the Playstation Store. That was an article full of factual information and appropriate research. This article will have neither. This article is my fanboy dreams and hopes against hopes. If you have a game that you want to see on Vita as well, regardless of the actually possibility of its existence, leave it in the comments. I adore my Vita. Short of Pokemon, it has every single...

Watch This Wednesday: Unintentionally Hilarious DBZ trtailer

Dragonball has always been full of stupidity. Whether it’s characters yelling for a solid half hour or a 10 minute story taking 6 weeks to finish. So it should come at no surprise that this trailer for Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is crazy and stupid. The announcer is what makes this trailer though, he is so excited about the potential for online co-op, and he nearly messes his pants over menus. It’s had not to be infected by his extreme excitement though.
