In February of 2009, I went missing to a lot of people. Upon further inspection, they found me in my room playing Killzone 2 until my eyes bled. Guerilla Games’ Playstation exclusive FPS is honestly my online multiplayer shooter of choice. The mode of play dynamically changes throughout any given match, the graphics are dark and moody in all the right ways and the class system is enjoyable to level up and play. You can imagine then, that I needed a change of pants when I saw that the sequel was playable at the MLG event this weekend.
Everyone's favorite demented bunnies have just been green-lit for their own TV series, and the workings of it already sound like comedy gold!
I know what you’re wondering. What exactly happens at a Major League Gaming event? I’m here to fill you in on what exactly goes on at one of these events from the perspective of someone who has never been to one before this day.
It’s a windy day down at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, but I wouldn’t really know much about that because I am spending all day inside at the MLG Pro Circuit. The venue is huge and I’ve already
Everybody wants to make an iPhone killer. Companies are coming out of the woodwork to fashion their own Android-based phone. Hewlett Packard paid a billion dollars to buy Palm for its mobile operating system. Microsoft is betting the farm on its own variety of mobile operating systems.
But no matter how sophisticated the smartphone market gets, no matter how much more market share the Android operating system attains, there's no single phone manufacturer likely to supplant Apple from the gross numbers of devices sold that run its iOS operating system.
And that's all the phone manufacturers care about. Motorola, Nokia, Sony Erickson, Palm, RIM (Blackberry), Samsung -- they all want to be where Apple is. That's why they all keep announcing their own versions of iPhone killers.
All this in-fighting reminds me of Dragonball Z.
There has been quite a bit of buzz around the tubes in regards to a little game called Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. After having played the demo, I definitely intend to pick it up. The reason for this plan however, is not completely because it was an awesome demo, which it was, but also because it reminded me of something. It reminded me of the how awesome game developer Ninja Theory’s previous game Heavenly Sword happened to be. So travel back with me to 2007 as I, in honor of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, let you know about a game you may have overlooked.
New Monday, new podcast episode and in this one the ladies are all over the place. They start out with an audience question about useful iDevice apps (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) and somehow end up talking movies... it's, interesting to say the least.
Red Dead Redemption recently got another DLC pack that expands the multiplayer experience even further. Hunting grounds, new gang hideouts, races, multiplayer poker and liar’s dice, and a new game mode. What more could a gamer ask for? Well a fix for the connection issues that I am still having, but that is beside the point, let’s take a look at this DLC.
2010 has been the year of the anime world turning to the Americas for inspiration. Highschool of the Dead looked to George A. Romero for its zombified gore and glory, and Occult Academy took a nod from Sam Raimi's style of things that go bump and chuckle in the night. This month the folks over at GAINAX (FLCL, Evangelion) are up at bat, with their spin on gross-out and overtly-sexual humor in the vein of Ren & Stimpy: Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt. It comes as no surprise that the same studio that brought us Kare Kano and Gunbuster manage to hit this one out of the park.
