Today Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct that was all about Super Smash Brothers Wii U and 3DS. Everyone was expecting to see new characters announced but none seemingly were. Then, in typical Nintendo tomfoolery, the screen faded up and hundreds of Pokemon rained from the sky like meteorites. Charizard faced against the sky and was confirmed with a “Charizard Fires It Up!” He ascended to the sky and came crashing down inches from Mario. During the fight a shadow...
When the original Hotline Miami was released it snuck right past me. The talk of egregious violence surrounding the game pushed me further away from it still. Through a Humble Bundle it ended up in my Steam library and got itself a pensive click. I immediately understood the error of my ways and proceeded to fall deep into a psychedelic killing haze. Bragging time: I actually Platinumed the game on Vita. With the ferocious love I hold for Hotline Miami, it is safe to assume...
The past couple years have been slick with irony. Everywhere you look people are doing things they do not really enjoy for indecipherable reasons. Over time this has slowly evolved into an unironic appreciation of the ironic; this may or may not itself be ironic. In more succinct terms, the irony has backfired and made me personally, enjoy what are objectively the dumbest things. That is why, when I received an email informing me of the existence of a game called Broforce I...

It appears as if gamers are still not ready to go fully digital. While many welcome the idea, there seems to be something keeping many from going the full digital route. From a report through the NPD, it seems that gamers, even when preferring digital, still buy a physical copy of a game. Gamers that prefer digital games over physical, still play far more physical copies of games over digital. Also, the increase from players that prefer digital, to actually playing more...
In a post on EA.com, Steve Papoutsis announced that Amy Hennig has now joined Visceral Games, makers of the Dead Space franchise. As Steve said in the post, she’s most likely working on a new Star Wars game; “Over the last few weeks, Amy and I have spent a lot of time talking about what her first project would be. There are a lot of different directions we could have gone, but I could sense that what really excited her about this opportunity (because let’s...
In spite of April tomfoolery, Activision steamed forward and stealth released a new DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. The DLC, named Actual Ghosts, does not have a price but rather runic symbols that feel familiar despite being untranslatable. We can expect to see a patch soon though as we are hearing cases of a glitch that causes your system to scream ceaselessly upon downloading Actual Ghosts. It contains 666 new maps, 664 of them being a single cell that your character...
EA Sports UFC should be coming out soon (no release date yet, just Spring 2014) and I’m pretty excited to check it out in person. Just from what we’ve seen so far, it looks at if EA’s Ignite engine will raise the bar for the franchise. It boasts a new locomotion system, full body deformation, obvious real-time damage and what seems most interesting to me, exertion. In many of the UFC games passed, your fighter would get tired from too much action and...
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. ...
