We all lie to ourselves. We grow up saying to ourselves,”I’ll never get addicted to THAT“. But once you had a taste, you can’t help but just give in, and click,”Next Turn”. Seriously, in terms of addictive qualities, Civilization 5 should be the kind of stuff that gets one sent to the Betty Ford Clinic in California. Want to get heroin addicts off the smack? Introduce them to Civ 5. I mean, it may still result in them not being a...
If you read that headline thinking some ill mannered computer men got a hold of Might and Magic 6 in a less than legal manner, SURPRISE! Actually what Ubisoft has done is announced some new downloadable content called, Might and Magic: Pirate of the Savage Sea. This will feature Crag Hack (whom many will know from the Shadow of Death game) as a leading character. And along the legendary Barbarian, there will be new artifacts, bonuses and a powerful dynasty weapon. You can...
Activision, despite its many flaws as a large corporation being operated (allegedly) by Satan himself, can actually make some decent decisions that does not involve milking their cash cows until the proverbial financial udder spews forth just mere air and dust. So it is with happiness that I can let the folks at home know that Peter Cullen, THE VOICE for Optimus Prime and Gregg Berger, THE VOICE for Grimlock will reprise their roles as their respective Transformer avatars in...

Anybody who grew up on Star Trek waaaayyyy back then, may remember an iconic episode called,”Arena”. In this episode, Captain Kirk is forced into a one on one battle with a reptilian foe, known as the Gorn. The episode is oozing so much cheese it is enough to make The Slow Food Movement’s Biennial Terra Madre & Salone del Gusto gush in envy. Ok, slightly obscure reference… Anyway, The Gorn in the game will be a little more varied than the costume...
“You will die of suffocation, in the icy cold of space” Man, that is a bit of bummer. Lucky for Trekkers, 2013 will see people risk space death with the voices of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto reprising their Star Trek roles in the upcoming co-op Star Trek game. And not only are Pine and Quinto bringing their talents to the game, but the rest of the main cast is also doing voice-overs as well. Simon Pegg as Scotty, Karl Urban as Dr “Bones” McCoy, Zoe...
Yesterday, THQ and Zuffa LLC announced the transition of the UFC license to Electronic Arts. “The agreement results in an undisclosed cash payment to THQ. Additionally, THQ will continue to publish its existing console and mobile titles through March 31, 2013.” This comes as a coup for EA and unfortunately also highlights the financial hot water that THQ has found itself in. In the past year, THQ stock went from around $4.00 per share in June 2011, to a mere...
“Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for Speed Most Wanted” That is the quote to come out of Criterion and EA, and while it is strange to say that there will be two different racing games called Need For Speed:Most Wanted on the same generation of consoles, Criterion is looking to make 2012’s NFS:MW the one to own. Returning to the NFS franchise is the groundbreaking Autolog social networking feature that debuted back in 2010 for Need For Speed:Hot...
