After fighting through the sea of people at CES while heading to Sony’s booth to see what this Playstation Now was all about, I noticed something else I was very excited to see, Infamous Second Son was there and playable. So, I did what any other gamer would do… Knocked everyone over as I rushed over to play it of course. In case you don’t know, in Infamous Second Son you’ll play as Delsin (voiced by Troy Baker). A young man who discovers that not...

Blackguards Hands-On Preview
Blackguards is a new turn-based tactical RPG from Daedalic Entertainment, most known for their point and click adventure games. Blackguards takes place in the pen and paper universe of The Dark Eye. The story begins with either your girlfriend (if you play as a male) or your close friend (if you play as a female), the princess being killed. During a cutscene you see that it was a wolf that took the princess’ life, but you are now being blamed for it. Even after that...
Hands-on Preview: World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition – Please and Tank You
World of Tanks for Xbox 360 was originally announced back a few months ago at Microsoft’s E3 conference. It wasn’t anything amazing – a quick trailer played, someone from Wargaming.net came on stage to tell us about how exciting this was, and that was it. I’ll admit – I didn’t expect much. I signed up for the beta when it first went live – again, not expecting much, just hoping I would get in for the bragging rights. I was accepted in the first wave. I...
NYCC 2013: Dark Souls II Hands On Preview + Interview with Namco Bandai Community Manager J. Kartje
Austin and I got some hands on time with Namco Bandai’s upcoming death simulator Dark Souls II and I for one couldn’t get enough of it. This new entry in the Souls series looks to have everything people loved about both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls combined, along with a few new tricks up its sleeve. I decided to play my demo using the Warrior class that’s been prominent in the games’ advertising this far, think the Knight from Dark Souls and...
NYCC 2013: Preview: The Legend Of Zelda – A Link Between Worlds
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the new spiritual successor to the SNES classic A Link To The Past, was on display at NYCC 2013 and from the preview on display, it’s going to be a fun time. A mix of new school graphics and gameplay enhancements and the classic Zelda top-down perspective, Link Between Worlds doesn’t come across as a revolutionary title but it certainly seems like a lot of fun. I was able to traverse Hyrule field like always but this time...
NYCC 2013: Interview with Troy Baker: The Joker of Batman: Arkham Origins
WB Games granted us the amazing opportunity last Saturday at New York Comic Con, the chance to sit down with Troy Baker, the amazing voice actor taking over the roll of The Joker from Mark Hamill in Batman: Arkham Origins. You may have also heard Troy in every big-name game this year. He was also Booker in Bioshock: Infinite and Joel in The Last of Us. Troy talks with us about what went through his mind when when he found out he was getting the role of the Joker. “I...
NYCC 2013: Super Mario 3D World Hands-On Preview [With Video]
Matt and I had the chance to get our hands on Nintendos latest addition to the Mario Bros. franchise, Super Mario 3D World, this past weekend at New York Comic Con 2013. While neither of us were able to use the gamepad during our play session, we both agreed that we loved the taste this game left in my mouth. During the short one level demo, I was given Princess Peach to play. From what I understand, each character has different speeds and abilities, with Peach being the...
NYCC 2013: Hands On With Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, may be a mouthful of a title but it looks like it’s going to be a handful of a game. I was able to snag a hands-on 15 minute demo on PS Vita as well as 3DS where I tracked Catwoman through the Gotham city skyline and walked away liking what I saw. Developed by Aramature Studio, a team comprising of former members of Retro Studios, Blackgate is an adventure that is it’s own entity. Not simply a gimped version of its console...

In The Wonderful 101, you control a group of superheroes who combine themselves into giant weapons such as a fist, sword or gun in order to wreck house on evil robots intent on destroying earth. The demo gives a...
Hands-On Preview: Mario Kart 8
At E3 this year, one of the most eagerly awaited games among Nintendo fans was Mario Kart 8, the next big Mario Kart game set for release in Spring 2014. The new game keeps what everyone loves about Mario Kart with the addition of HD graphics and anti-gravity. I got my chance to race on three courses from the upcoming game. The first thing I will say is that this clearly is a Mario Kart game. It plays exactly like past games. Everything from the boost...
