The Last of Us PAX Prime Demo and Details

I could tell you about The Last of Us. Or you could watch the video for yourself. The following video is beat for beat the demo that was shown at PAX prime this year. However, there are a few minute things in this video to pay attention to besides the lush environments. If you notice a couple more, let us know in the comments. There was mention of “Clickers,” quite possibly referring to the zombies. When Joel heals himself, the bandage stays on. A great deal of actions...

PAX: Aliens: Colonial Marines – Hands On with “Escape” Multiplayer Mode

I have seen a live demo of the solo campaign at PAX East and even had the opportunity to play some team DM as well. At PAX Prime 2012, four of us from LevelSave had the chance to check out Aliens: Colonial Marines newly announced game mode, Escape. Many of us enjoy multiplayer in a great shooter. If you’re anything like me though, unless the mechanics of the game itself are somewhat unique, you get bored very quickly. So upon hearing we were being given the opportunity...

Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land Receives Diabolic DLC

You are victorious! .. OK. I hate it when a game ends as well. I guess I can delete this game now. I know to beat all the levels in five different ways and I’m frankly bored with being human. Maybe I’ll go stand in line for Halo 4 or something. Red Wasp Design has heard your pitiful, lamenting cry and has returned to feed off your agony. They have returned with a book in hand: A thin, well thumbed book of great antiquity. Do you reach out and take hold of the...

F’in Saved 13: BlOps

By now I have already arrived at PAX and am probably on my way back. I really hope this did not actually happen. Oh and if the joke seems a little nonsensical just Listen to our podcast Save Game+ and you will probably understand.

Torchlight II gets a Release Date

Finally, with the summer coming to a close and children begrudgingly huffing off to school, a light begins shining in the first fallen leaves. It is a warm light, flickering and bobbing, offering hope to the downtrodden. It is the light of a torch, it is Torchlight II. Having played much too little of the beta, I am so pleased to announce that this game will be hitting digital shelves on September 20. We worked incredibly hard to make sure we could release Torchlight...

Steamfeed – Greenlight is a Go

This week, Steam has seen the emergence and redistribution of some great games. More exciting than that, though, is the Greenlight system! Lots of indie titles can be voted on by the community to help get them a spot on the Steam New Releases list and, by proxy, the Steamfeed. This exciting new forum is the place where good-quality, though under-appreciated, releases like UNepic, Cards and Kingdoms, and Towns are being featured and await your vote. At any rate, this weeks...

9Symphony – Ghost in the (Stereo) System

Have you ever wanted to shoot things from a space craft AND sing Call Me Maybe at the same time? It wasn’t until recently I found out I indeed HAVE had that need, which is why I am reviewing Symphony by Empty Clip Studios. Symphony took home two awards from the Indie Game Challenge, and from what I gathered from the one screenshot I saw, was that it was a game about music somehow, and looked like an arcade-style shooter – apparently I am a very good journalist. So I...
