Game developer Naughty Dog has been delighting us for years now with the amazing Uncharted series for the PS3.  When they announced a new IP, the bar was instantly set ridiculously high.  From what they’ve shown us thus far, it looks as though they won’t meet those expectations with their new title The Last of Us.  They will instead, yawn as they soar over those lofty expectations with their amazing-looking new game.

When Sony first announced their PlayStation Plus program, I was skeptical that it would live up to their promises.  After being gifted a free month of the service, I tried it out to the fullest extent and I have to say that I’m hooked.  Each month, on the first Tuesday, they release a number of free games and May has been very kind with a slew of great games available.  This month has everything including: rolling rocks, vampire hunters, multiple personalities and 80s-style theme songs; check it out here and then go grab some free games.

It's not easy fighting a Hawk. They're larger and have greater firepower than you, but they aren't impossible to destroy when it's just human(oid) to Hawk. In fact, with your default loadout (your rifle and 3 grenades), you can destroy a Hawk, provided that it is in bipedal form. Make sure to aim those grenades right at its center. All 3 grenades can turn a Hawk to scrap, but hitting a moving target with them is tough. So if you you run out of grenades, finish the Hawk off with your gun.

 

The best price one can pay for anything is free.  Nintendo’s rewards program, Club Nintendo, starting this year has been offering downloadable games for your hard earned points.  Each month, on day one, Nintendo offers up a few new games for the Wii and 3DS.  With the arrival of May, they’ve offered up four more titles for your downloading pleasure.  This month, they’ve got everything covered including manholes, cannoids, pixels and penguins.

Zombies and video games tend to go together like peanut butter and jelly.  With most games involving the living dead, you spend a great deal of time mowing as many of the ghouls down as possible, until Telltale steps into the scene with The Walking Dead.  Based on the popular comic book and TV series, The Walking Dead focuses more on the drama and reality of what a zombie apocalypse might mean and Telltale’s new episodic game looks to be a great addition to the universe.
