Downtown Las Vegas has gone through a transition over the past ten to fifteen years. It has experienced a renaissance and become a hot spot for locals and tourists alike. One of the main draws in Downtown is the Fremont Experience, a closed street where pedestrians can venture back and forth between casinos, bars and restaurants. At the end of the Fremont Experience is a bar, not just any bar, a ‘barcade.’ Insert Coins is a mecca for gamers, nestled in Downtown...
After spending around fifteen hours of my first playthrough of XCOM : Enemy Unknown, I had all but completely lost Earth. My A team was annihilated, I was flat broke, UFO’s were ripping through my Raptors, my scientists and engineers were behind on projects and nearly every country abandoned the XCOM project. With each new deployment the situation became worse. Squadies were being sent out against Beserkers, Mutons and Hyderdiscs. A job well done meant at least one...
It has been said a million times by a million different people… and we’ve all heard it before. We have all known someone or been that someone to say “I love video games” and I am sure that in most if not all of those cases the writer or person you were speaking to genuinely meant what they said. I am not here to tell you I love games, I am not even here to tell you why I love games… I am here to tell you how games saved me from a life of drug...
We’ve seen a lot of free to play offers come and go with varying success. EverQuest F2P has made me pine for days long gone, Raceroom Racer Experience Teaser made the model look like a demo delivery service, and War of the Immortals even made me think that it might be a highly successful way to do business. None of the titles which use F2P as a business model, and I don’t count truly freeware games under this umbrella, have really captured my attention...
Looking for scary podcasts? Here are 7 Spectacularly Spooky Podcasts. As Summer draws to a close and the leave vacate their once happy abodes, a stir starts within myself. I, like many others, get that itch for something spooky the closer that October draws near. Sometimes it is books, sometimes movies, and as of late it has been podcasts. A couple years ago I started searching for good frightening fairy tales to subscribe to. I only found them in a trickle, and most of them...

Huh… what was- oh, it’s just you. Please, do come inside. You look cold an weary from your travels. Let me take your coat and you… you just sit right here by the fire. Oh, me? Well I am just a humble servant of the night. A connoisseur of the inky rites if you will. Let me warm you with a tale of chills and enjoy this most, phantasmal, of nights. That is right ladies and gents, the LevelSave horror movie is back! Last year around this time I haphazardly...
Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead game is one of a kind. Never in my life has a game given me such extreme emotions of hate, depression, regret, it’s simply amazing the work that goes into these games – and I love it. A little over a month ago at PAX Prime, Chris Lock and myself had a chance to chat with the writer of Episode 3 of The Walking Dead, Telltale Games’ Harrison Pink. The interview is embedded below, and be sure to keep your eyes tuned to...
Leading up to PAX, there were a few games I had written down as must-plays. Among them were Gears of War Judgement, Dishonored, and at the top of the list: Halo 4. Ever since I got an Xbox for the release of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts-N-Bolts, I’ve always been a huge Halo fan, and according to game-tracking service Raptr, I’ve sunk a combined total of 673 hours into Halo: Reach, ODST, and 3. Like I said, I like Halo. As I began my Sunday, my only plan was “play...

This includes opening up a hardware deptartment and creating a new controller-friendly UI for use on your TV. Their latest push for world domination is the Steam Software suite. These game-creation programs include the novice-level GameMaker: Studio, as well as some more professional modelling, texturing, and...
