Upon starting the DMC demo at PAX Prime 2012, I was told by PR that there were two demos available. One, in which Dante is pulled into Limbo and you fight through demons and engage in some challenging, yet fun, platforming. The other, is a boss battle which we’ll get to soon. The first demo began with Dante walking down the street and slapping a Virility drink out of an overweight man’s hand. A video camera spots Dante and turns into a demon eye. The demon eye...
Strategy games? I freaking love them. I love the classic style of RTS games for sure, build your base, build units, destroy everything ever. Always a good time. XCOM : EU is not RTS though, it is turn based and fans love it. Instead of constructing a command center on each level, you build, create, customize, upgrade, and research from your XCOM headquarters. You’ll select which type of unit you’ll want to train/build. Then after that you’re able to name...
It is no secret that I did not enjoy the first Dead Island. I felt mislead by the amazing advertisement and promise of an open world zombie game. What I received was a series of fetch quests that actually made me hate zombies for a time. If I was not reviewing the game I would have just set it down and probably never picked it back up again. However, what I saw of Dead Island Riptide was enough to make me consider picking the game up, even with the sour taste in my...
My bad y’all. I was so busy with getting ready for PAX (I swear I wasn’t being lazy, maybe a little) that I totally didn’t post the dev diaries 2 and 3 for Aliens: Colonial Marines. My bad, but I did a preview of what I saw at PAX Prime 2012 here. In the 2nd installment of the dev diaries, the Gearbox team talks about Xenos vs Marines. They go into what makes each side dangerous and also give their opinion on the best weapon in the game. Enjoy! The 3rd...

Enjoy! The 3rd dev diary focuses on the environments and places you’ll encounter and traverse through in Aliens: Colonial Marines. From the Sulaco to Hadley’s...
At PAX this year the indie presence was huge. There is a reason they have a large section carved out, called “The Indie Mega Booth.” It is massive, and full of really interesting games. However, not all of the indie games exist within this amalgamation of ideas. One such outlier, Gheldia, stood on the 6th floor, far away from all the other indie games. It was on that floor that I saw this up and coming gem and love happened. Gheldia is a top down game in the same style...
