Batman Arkham City is a Terrible Game

It is no secret that I did not enjoy, and even disliked, Batman Arkham City. It just seemed to be lacking some spark that the original, Arkham Asylum, had. I could not understand why everyone else lauded over Arkham City and, try as I might, I just could not get into it. I was originally supposed to review the game but as I got further in I started hating the game whereas almost all of the reviews out at the time praised it for its excellence. I assumed I just was missing...

F’in Saved 15- Zalloween

So after a month hiatus F’in saved is “back.” By that I mean it will be coming as much as I can make it. As you all probably know most of the team is obsessed with zombies. We often discuss how we would survive, even when we are not recording podcasts. So this scene is… not beyond the realm of possibilities.

This is in no way a review of the game, but a small analysis of my favorite plot point in the game. I’ve been sitting on this piece for almost a month now waiting for a good chunk of players to finish the game, so if you haven’t by  now, go do that.

Assassin’s Creed III’s hard work pays off as it breaks Ubisoft pre-order record

With many games coming out this winter, few have as much a buzz around them as Assassin’s Creed III. This buzz has come about for many reasons, new and interesting character, incredible setting for the game and an unrelenting marketing campaign. I’ma huge fan of the UFC and MMA in general, my wife and I would both look at each with a “geez it’s everywhere” look as before each fight in the UFC the past couple of months was preceded with...

Insert Coin(s) to Continue – Nightlife in Downtown Las Vegas Levels Up

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...
