Brace yourselves gamers as EA has once again found another way too fuck up all the series they own, annoy us gamers even more and too make more money off of unsuspecting and/or gullible idiots who will undoubtedly fall for this, I am speaking of course about EAs latest decision to put micron transactions into every one of their future games. For those of you who don’t know, micro transactions are basically in game items that you can purchase with real world money, this has been used for most F2P games as their primary means of making money. Now if EA …

Sony made their announcement yesterday for the PS4.  No price and release date has been set in stone yet.

The announcement showed gameplay footage.  Some were cutscenes while others were real gameplay.

Overall, the graphics are nice but not overwhelming.  Not as drastic from PS2 to PS3.  I like the variety of game they showed ranging from the cute and funny to a Bourne-esque gameplay.

Destiny
From Bungie comes a cross between FPS and MMORPG.  This one will be either really great or crap because of unbalanced gameplay.

Deep Down
Medieval game from Capcom.  All cutscenes so it’s a meh.

Sony will make an announcement tomorrow regarding its new console.  I’ll go out on a limb and I will just call it the PS4….. since you know, the last one was called PS3.

The rumor price right now is $400.  That might be too good to be true.  When the PS3 first came out in 2006, it was a whopping $600 (cost Sony $300 to make at the time).  That was also the start of the blu-ray so that hardware added to the hefty manufacturing cost.  With the less powerful Nintendo Wii-U retailing at $350, I’ll say the next Sony game …

Fatalities and flying bloody limbs are back.  The original Shang Tsung, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa is also back.  That’s like Vin Diesel with the Fast & Furious franchise but only more epic.

It looks like Liu Kang is pretty vicous, maybe he’s controlled by evil souls or something.  Anyways, it looks fun.

Why would I review these two games together?  Besides the fact that they’re my favorite XBox franchises and two of the best first person shooter games of all time, I found that they’re actually similar in many ways. But the one I’m going to look at here is that they share a common theme, with real drama and a heart-breaking story at the center of it.

Drama? At the heart of one of the biggest tough guy video games ever put on Xbox? COD Black Ops 2 was written by two dudes, one of whom was David S. Goyer, the guy …

Aliens Colonial Marines is a very troubled game and has been since its development started almost 7 years ago when SEGA announced it. Many developers have taken a swing at the title but it was seemingly never going to come out and would probably become a vaporware legend on the level of Duke Nukem Forever. Then in late 2011, Gearbox Software the developers of Borderlands and Brothers in Arms took the up the responsibility of finally finishing the game.

For over a year we were bombarded with all sorts of cool gameplay videos and trailers that showed a game that could …

– Minecraft by Threadless (Bad Weather)

I will admit that I am not a Minecraft player. I know what it is, as I’ve seen videos of the awful graphics that they have on youtube. Put down the pitchforks and let me finish. I do understand what the hype is about. Building whatever one wants in an open game, is every Nerds’ dream come true.

Without knowing much about the game, let me tell you, that this is an awesome shirt. I wore it around first day I got it, and was getting compliments. I wasn’t sure if they just liked the …

I finally got the chance to play the PC version of Assassins Creed 3 and I was fairly excited for a number of reasons: Ubisoft claimed that it would actually make an effort when porting it to the platform, several of my friends told me how superior it is the console and being the snobby/elitist PC gamer that I am I was positively thrilled to try it out. Despite the ending being yet another catastrophe on the level of ME3.

Upon starting the game up I was treated to a lovely recreation of 18 century, Great Britain. The graphics looked vastly …

Despite all the controversy surrounding the new micro transactions, the 11 pieces of Day 1 DLC, the pre release news that the PC version would be a straight up console port and my utter loathing of EA, against all logic I bought Dead Space 3 and for the PC no less. The title has thus far earned quite a bit of hate for not only its shady business practices but also the inclusion of co-op with many series fans (like myself) fearing that it would destroy the horror experience and while the game as a whole is nowhere near as good …

I remember going to the diner by my apartment at least twice a week just so I can play Street Fighter 2.  Back then, there was no youtube or gamefaqs to help me beat the game.  I had to figure out the moves and patterns of my opponents by myself.  I never did beat the game at the arcade but once it came out for SNES, I played it all day long.

Ever since Street Fighter 2 came out, the game got a hardcore following.  Capcom always delivered with the SF games and ventured out, including having brawls with Marvel and …
