ll be honest with you, when I first started to play BattleBlock Theater I absolutely hated it. I’d expected a lot better from The Behemoth – creators of the best selling Xbox Live Arcade Game of all time Castle Crashers (second only to Minecraft) – and this game didn’t seem to be fulfilling it, aside from the infectious music at the beginning. Then I started to actually play it. Now, I’m ranked number one on the worldwide leaderboards and...
8Terraria – Let Your Imagination Run Wild (Updated)
Terraria starts as simply as any game that you have ever seen, and in these humble beginnings it is very easy to mistake the clever and complex world for something mundane. You start as a user-created character with various creation options that can be manipulated in any way that the player sees fit. Once creation is finished the options are quite simple, pick a small, medium or large world and your difficulty level and you are unleashed into the mysterious world of...
Hey Tim Schafer – Where is Pokemon Snap 2? [Leaked Image]
It’s been over a year now since Tim Schafer hinted at the fact that his three million dollar Kickstarter project was in fact the sequel to one of the best games of all time: Pokemon Snap 2. We’ve heard virtually nothing about the project… until now. A source who has asked we do not disclose his name has contacted us with insider information about the upcoming Pokemon Snap 2 including a screenshot, which is below. It’s also rumored the game will be...

8Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC – See You on the Other Side
Dead Space 3 Awakened is the downloadable expansion to Dead Space 3 which released in January. Awakened picks up right where the main campaign left off. Isaac and Carver awaken to a proverbial shit show as they deal with the aftermath of the events on Tau Volantis. It’s grisly stuff as Carver and Isaac struggle to decipher between what is and isn’t real. Hallucinations occur quite frequently as the two survivors attempt to make sense of everything going...
Guacamelee Release Date and Launch Trailer
Guacamelee’s release looms ever nearer, casting a shadow of anticipation over my beating heart. Thankfully Drinkbox finally announced that my expectant vigil will soon be over. Guacamelee will be released April 9th in the U.S. for PS Vita and PS3. Guacamelee is a Metroidvania style game set within a Mexican art style. You play as a luchador, or luchadora, swapping between the living and dead dimensions while beating up baddies. There is much more to the game but that...
Into the Fray: Parents and the ESRB
Attacking violent forms of media is nothing new, before it was video games its was movies and music, and before that it was books and plays. As human beings we are a naturally curious species and the desire to find a reason for the violence in the world is something all of us has contemplated at one time or another. It becomes really easy to say that someone was exposed to violent images and immediately assume this causes violent behavior… but is it that simple? To me...
Watch this Wednesday – Dead Island: Riptide CG Sads
Austin is out this week fighting Peruvian Hail Screamers, so I took over Watch this Wednesday to give you some Dead Island Riptide action. Dead Island, as we all know, gave us one of the most heart-wrenching clips from a zombie apocalypse we have ever seen. The game did not live up to those expectations, but really, who could? Reducing grown men and women to tears in a matter of minutes is a hard feat to duplicate. Because of that hit-and-a-miss combo, you may have passed by...
FFX HD Coming in 2013 with a Surprise [UPDATE]
[UPDATE] Famitsu has confirmed that the Vita versions will be sold separately. “Storage issues with the Vita version” is the reason Square Enix gave. They are also looking into cross save functions for both games. Far be it from Square Enix to bite off a reasonable amount of work. Instead of just working on FFX HD, they have announced that FFX-2 is also going to be uprezzed and released on the PS Vita and PS3. Not that giving us another great game in HD is a...
