Rare has just announced their first non-Kinect sports title in quite some time – and it’s a beauty. What’s being touted as an open-world, shared space, furst person pirate adventure looks to be just that. The trailer we saw showed us live gameplay of the playable character interacting with friends, manning their very own pirate ship, exploring islands, and making other pirates walk the plank. This is a game I’ve always wanted. This is what I wanted...

In the picture above, we see a lone Guardian looking over at what appears to be a group of...
Grant Kirkhope Sent me a Banjo Plushie and my Mom Threw It Away
Six years ago was a weird time, for both myself and the gaming industry. It had been quite a bit of time since any bit of hype had been built up for Banjo-Kazooie as a franchise, with the idea of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts not even being conceptualized yet. I had, myself, become obsessed with a Banjo themed forum – Spiral Mountain (which has since become RareGamer) – where I spent every waking moment of my sad, overweight internet life. I would roleplay as...
My Ridiculous Quest to Watch Every Adam Sandler Movie [Updated 5/10]
A few months ago I went through a pretty traumatic turn of events. I’m not going to go in to details, but let’s just say I was a very sad man. Many nights were spent laying in bed watching Netflix, and it was at this time I discovered what was missing in my life: Adam Sandler. In a world of raunchy, ridiculous comedies and bro movies, he was a shining light of comedic relief. Forever in his adolescence, Adam Sandler helped bring me back to mine. In between...

What Project Morpheus Means for the VR Industry
Last week, Sony updated the world on Project Morpheus, its virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4. The near final version revealed had a number of impressive updates including a higher resolution display, a refresh rate that’s almost double the refresh rate of the Oculus Rift DK2, and the ability to play games at 120 FPS (frames per second).

The Curious Case of Bungie Aerospace
Four long years ago, world-reknowned creators of Halo and the yet-unannounced space-epic Destiny announced an interesting project: Bungie Aerospace. Aerospace was a brilliant initiative from the minds at Bungie to partner with small developers and provide them with the initiative, funds, and community to cultivate and launch amazing games. Per Audacia ad Astra – Through Boldness To The Stars – was the motto. A powerful term first coined by the philosophical...
Munitio Making Waves [Updated]
A LOOK INTO MUNITIO In late 2009, Munitio introduced themselves to the world, out of nowhere. A self proclaimed “precision sound company”, specializing in lifestyle electronic accessories. Let’s be honest, in 2009 you probably didn’t even know that Munitio actually existed. What put them on the map then, and ultimately gave the small company a chance to prove their ability to blow large competitors out of the water, was the release of their Billet...
Amiibo Cards and Reprints Hurt The Collector and here’s why.
it is not a surprise that Nintendo’s new Amiibo line is here to stay, but what is the reason behind its success? In a new report Nintendo stated that characters that have been selling out and less popular characters will be getting reprints and also redistribution as nfc equipped cards. To me this could undermine what is making the figures popular in the first place. The exclusivity, the rarity is what entices the 20-30 something to buy these figures; all in hope of...
