Achievement Hunters, You’ll Never Beat Stallion83’s Score

It was a big deal almost three years ago when Stallion83 produced a video of him reaching the 600,000 gamerscore mark. That’s either ridiculous or impressive, depending on how you look at it, but that wasn’t his goal. He’s been heading for the one million mark. And just last night, he tweeted out this picture; YO TWITTER. I DID IT! pic.twitter.com/4Wuu3lXS5m — Ray Cox IV (@Stallion83) March 13, 2014 I had to double check on the zero’s...

What is Life? – A Look at Non-Playable Characters

The latest scientific theories regarding our reality hypothesize that we aren’t real at all. In fact, we are likely holographic projected representations of data stored on a flat disc. I’m not saying that this is true, it’s just a theory.  But this could be ‘just a theory’ in the same way that evolution is ‘just a theory,’ and evolution is a damn good one. For the sake of the rest of this article let’s assume that this theory is true. That we are, as the...

Breaking Dark Souls

I summoned a phantom named SonFlower9. We strode into the Kiln of the First Flame, destroying Dark Souls’ toughest enemies with little effort. Before the gate of the final boss we both praised the sun and dove into Gywn’s domain. My wife shouted beside me with both encouragement and fretful cries. After a time it seemed we were winning, ever so little we were winning this fight. Suddenly my ghostly friend found himself stuck in a corner. The now heavily wounded...

LevelSave’s Game of the Year 2013

We are quite late with this but here it is, LevelSave’s Game of the Year. Last year, we did a podcast in which some of us argued for our favorite games and that’s how we got our GOTY. This year, we decided to try something slightly different. We had our writers vote on their top six games. The games that were voted on the most, made it to the next round. We voted again with the three games that got the most votes getting GOTY honors. Just like last year...

The Elder Scrolls Online Hands-on Preview – Just What I Want

Thanks to Bethesda, over the last month I’ve had the pleasure of entering the world of Tamriel for two weekends, through the Elder Scrolls Online beta of course. Many of the questions I had for ESO have been the same questions I’ve wondered of every MMO since my time in WoW and Aion. “Are there only fetch quests?” “Do the quests form boring and short story lines that don’t build upon the larger world” “Do I have to kill 3 dogs...

Review: Gran Turismo 6 – The 6th Chapter of the Gospel According to Polyphony Digital

Gran Turismo has surpassed being just a game to me. I’ve been playing since the first GT came out on the original PlayStation when I was a freshman in high school.  Gran Turismo was the sole reason I bought a PlayStation in the first place. My passion for things Gran Turismo has become more than just a love but an institution.  Gran Turismo’s pedigree of excellence established a benchmark for realism and handling as well as graphical presentation.  Polyphony Digital...

Dark Souls 2 Prologue Trailer 1

Having recently completed Dark Souls my hype glands are working overtime for Dark Souls 2. From Software captured lightning in a bottle twice and seems well on their way to doing it once more. But until its release we must feed on souls, er, trailers in order to satiate our dark desires. So enjoy the Dark Souls 2 Prologue 1 trailer. Judging by the title I assume there will be another very soon. Gamers who pre-order the game will be upgraded to the Black Armor Edition which...
