Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon | Mini-Review

Posted on May 4, 2013 by | Leave a comment

        Developer(s): Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Shanghai
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platform: XBLA, PSN, PC
Price: $14.99 (1200 Microsoft Points)

Blood Dragon is a stand-alone, downloadable expansion to the critically acclaimed “Far Cry 3″. You don’t have to own Far Cry 3, or even have any prior knowledge of the Far Cry series. Blood Dragon is a self-contained, retro futuristic sibling to the franchise, & it’s full of insanity. Is it worth the $15 price tag though? Hit the jump & I’ll gladly inform you of what I thought about this love letter to 80′s action films. Continue reading →

Ascend: New Gods Beta Still Open

Posted on March 25, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Ascend LogoIf you love games then you have to love free games.  The next one you will find on XBLA is Signal Studios’  Ascend: New Gods.  This game is coming soon to XBLA and will be completely free.  The cool part is you can help make it better by participating in the beta.    You’re probably wondering what the catch is or if this isn’t going to be free to play and instead labeled Pay to Win.  I’m going to talk about that in an upcoming preview but I’ll tell you now that there is no catch and it is in fact free to play and not the other way around.  It’s also amazingly fun.  Stay tuned for the preview and in the mean time get your name in for the beta.  You won’t regret it.

Posted on March 7, 2013 by | Leave a comment

PodcastbuttonThis week we talk about Gears of War. It’s a prequel. (inside joke) Anyway, I didn’t follow this game closely until the premiere on Xbox Live this past Sunday. I tend to try to experience games without knowing anything, but in the interest of a good podcast I bent my rules. We also have Kiesey joining us this week. As promised here’s a link to a certain video mentioned in the podcast and if you look below I’ve got a code for you to download. Enjoy!!

Dead Space 3 – Review

Posted on February 15, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The long awaited Dead Space 3 has arrived. I know many people are both anxious and hesitant to play this Sci-Fi epic. Long time fans are worried that the inclusion of Co-Op has somehow degraded the horror, atmosphere, and tension of the traditional Single-Player experience. Some are even frightened that the addition and tweaks of some gameplay mechanics have made Dead Space more action focused.

So if you’re ready for me to leak my opinions and thoughts all over your browser, click the jump and read what I, as a huge Dead Space fanatic, had to say about Isaac Clarke’s latest adventure. Continue reading →

Far Cry 3 – Now With Bears

Posted on February 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

You don’t need advanced techniques to take down Outposts and get the max XP.  You can do it like you would in real life.  Cower behind the fence while a bear does the job for you.  You can see how having a caged bear and not letting him out is a wasted opportunity.
