There are times when we lament being in separate parts of the county; being closer together would greatly help in some projects that we all could do. Being close for Game of the Year discussions may result in serious bodily harm to some members of the team.
When you ask me what my favorite genre of game is there is never any hesitation before I blurt out 3 short letters, RPG. We’ve all played them and many of you out there love them just as much if not more than I do, but recently the line as to what truly constitutes an RPG has become quite muddled. Some say that an RPG has to have an inventory system and a true leveling system or skill tree, other people say an RPG is anything where you can upgrade your character. So...

It is a question that has plagued man since the dawn of time… it is the eternal struggle… the fight between good and evil. In life of course we all strive to be the hero, the one people look to when they need help. For me however, video games changes that reality in an all too sadistic way. Playing as the villain is more fun than any hero story could have ever dreamed of being. Why stop and help that poor pedestrian when you can shoot them in the head and loot...
The recently announced 3DS XL hit the community with some controversy. The expected model revision was going to be something smaller that included a built in analog stick. We got quite the opposite with a bigger system that has no built in analog stick. It will have another franken-stick attachment though, because you wanted to carry that around. Not long after the announcement people were up in arms about the missing stick. The option to buy a second stick for the original...
And I don’t care! Mass Effect 3’s cooperative multiplayer is amazing and it is largely due to the fact that Mass Effect 3, as a game, is the best Mass Effect that Bioware has delivered. Brush aside all the story drama and you’re left with the best Mass Effect video game in the trilogy. Why? Well it’s quite simple really: Mass Effect 3’s controls are as tight as ever. The gunplay is unmatched when compared to its predecessors and the...
Now usually I could care less about DLC. I rarely buy it, I find nothing exciting about map packs although I could see why someone would buy them. If there’s a game you spend hundreds to thousands of hours on, of course you’re going to want more content. I have purchased content before for games like Mass Effect 2, Super Stardust HD, etc. I’m writing this because while viewing a recent trailer about a “true” ending for a game being added at...
The only video game related item on my to-do list this week is finish Mass Effect 2. Well, I already finished it, but not everyone made it out alive. That’s my goal. I asked Levelsave’s Brad Beach for help on the end. He just kept telling me that I was a “horrible leader” for letting people in my command die. So what did I do? Searched youtube of course. Now during my search I came across a video of what you DO NOT want to do. Completing the game in...
Mass Effect has always held a special place in my heart. The first game was phenomenal, a single player’s dream come true. The story took on a life of its own and I was drawn into the world. Never before had I read every journal log in a game. There was a tear in my eye when I became a Spectre. The second game of the series was simply beyond words. Never before had I been so captivated with a game. The gameplay that complimented such a grand story had never been seen...
With the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo set to release on January 17th and the Mass Effect 3 demo coming not too far behind it, 38 Studios and Bioware have teamed up. Announced today, that playing both demos will unlock special items you will obtain nowhere else, except from playing these demos. These items will also be influenced by the demo they are unlocked from. Example, By playing the Mass Effect 3 demo, you’ll unlock Omni-Blade like daggers for KoA:R By...
