On the one hand we did get a teaser trailer back in May giving a 10 second blink of what to expect. On the other hand, what was Doom going to be? Was it going to try and compete with the other FPS’s out there? Was it going to stick to the basics of what made Doom a cultural landmark in 1993? Well we...
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 final version was announced for launch in the first half of 2016. I’ve had a fascination with Virtual Reality for...
The undisputed king of twin stick shooters is back for another round. I have great memories of playing the original Geometry Wars on my Xbox 360. What I love about it is how simple it is to play and how much fun it can be compete against the high scores of friends. I was very excited to learn the series has come back for a third round, this time on both current gen and last gen systems. The third Geometry Wars game from Lucid Games, a studio containing much of the staff who...
Deep Silver was able to announce that Dead Island 2 is coming to PS4 ,with a Beta and exclusive content coming down the pike. Dead Island 2 brings the zombie apocalypse to the Sunshine state, where a massive outbreak (is there any other kind?) of the zombie persuasion has occurred. This results in a complete fencing off of California, with its denizens trapped with a whole lot of brain feasters. According to a blog post by Deep Silver’s Creative Director...

Blazcowicz, a few hours ago you were in a mental asylum – a place you’ve called home for the past six years, trapped in your own mind after nearly being killed by the leader of the Nazi army, General Deathshed. “What about the resistance?” you ask, grasping at any small...

If you follow gaming media in any capacity you have probably heard of Octodad: Dadliest Catch. If not prepare to have your mind blown.
Second Son is the first inFAMOUS game that does not feature Mr. Cole McGrath as the protagonist. This time the lead is Delsin Rowe, voiced by Troy Baker. Delsin is part of the Akomish Indian tribe near Seattle, Washington; the location in which this latest chapter of the inFAMOUS series takes place. Second Son moves the story along quickly, revealing to us and Delsin himself that he is a very unique conduit when he absorbs the smoke powers of an escaped fugitive. ...
Originally thought to be the next full-length installment in Konami’s long running stealth-action franchise, Ground Zeroes has since been cut down to little more than one intense rescue mission. What you’ve heard of Ground Zeroes is very true, the main campaign will last you a little under three hours, with the side missions taking up to another hour to complete. Length isn’t a slight against Snake’s latest mission however, as Ground Zeroes acts like...
