Yeah, I’m gonna talk about Starcraft 2 again because… well, it’s Starcraft 2. It’s sort of a big deal. Actually, I really just feel like we’ve been waiting so long for this game that it’s only fair to revisit my opinions and observations of the game as they’ve had a few more days to sink […]

I have partaken in my fair shair of Starcrafting over the past twenty-four hours. From what I’ve experienced thus far, I’d say it was worth the wait. The campaign is pretty enjoyable, but in my experience does next to nothing to prepare you for versus. Versus play is a beast of an entirely different species. […]

I apologize for the unannounced downtime this morning. Little bit of emergency server maintenance and all that jazz. I believe the upgrading and whatnot is done and everything is rebooting and should be all set in no time at all. Comic-Con gets under way this weekend, which means over the next few days we’ll get […]

It’s been about a year and a half since our last “Choose Our Adventure” storyline. A little longer than I had originally planned to leave that particular cliffhanger, but better late than never, am I right? Here are the last two issues of the COA adventures in case you want to catch up/refresh your memory: […]

K-mart unveiled a new initiative a few days ago, whereby they’ll be taking snippets of user comments/reviews about games from their website, and printing them out to display in front of games at their stores. It’s not a terrible idea, it’s just terribly flawed. K-Mart isn’t likely to throw up a review that says “Holy […]

A reader, Mike, pointed out something else about Collector’s Editions which I hadn’t even considered. They provide (or attempt to provide) extra value to physical copies of games. In an industry that is increasingly moving toward digitable distribution and downloadable games, the Collector’s Editions offer things that you can’t get digitally. We all like to […]

I’m a bit of a sucker for Collector’s Editions, and frankly, I can’t even really justify it. Most of the stuff included in them either never gets used, or gets admired briefly and then ends up taking up unecessary space. For some reason I translate excitement for a particular new game into a desire for […]

Recently Rockstar unveiled their plans for a slew of upcoming DLC packs (four of them) for their latest hit, Red Dead Redemption. The content brings a ton of new content and features, including adding poker to multiplayer (woohoo!) and… zombies? At first glance the addition of Zombies to the western action game seems like an […]

ConnectiCon is this weekend in Hartford Connecticut, if you’re looking for a fun anime/gaming convention to hang out at. I won’t be able to make it this year, unfortunately. I had a number of things come up this weekend that need my attention, on top of putting all my eggs into one basket planning to […]

Earlier in the week I caught a few relatively disappointing reviews for Crackdown 2. When the game showed up at my doorstep, I was prepared for a bit of a letdown. That didn’t happen. The reviews are correct, though. It’s a sequel that doesn’t really go above and beyond the original. It makes some overall […]

So Blizzard has been setting up their new Battle.net, the umbrella under which all current and future Blizzard games will operate and be played. All of your Blizzard games are tied to your Battle.net account. A couple of weeks ago, Blizzard implemented a neat feature in the new Battle.net, the Real ID system.  The Real […]

Today I’m happy to present the winner of our Monster Hunter Tri Comic Contest, Nick Capozzi! Nick’s comic script was selected from a ton of other entries for not only having an entertaining idea (a concept that was the basis for a couple of other entries from MH fans as well), but also having a […]

On Wednesday I tweeted about an article I saw that suggested Johnny Depp was being cast as the Doctor in an upcoming Doctor Who feature film. Someone responded along the lines of “Oh no, are they Americanizing Doctor Who?” Of course, that immediately got me thinking about an Americanized Doctor Who. Hey, at least I […]

During this past E3, I started to feel like I was the only one who really didn’t give a shit about Milo. He was a neat tech demo at last year’s show, but was it really that big of a deal? Were people really that excited about the idea of this as a game? I’m […]

The topic of the sense of entitlement amongst today’s generations (gamers specifically) is a can of worms I tend to kick over and dig around in once in a while. I know its messy, but I can’t help myself. The general (vocalized) attitude these days seems to be one that suggests we shouldn’t have to […]

Wrapping up a bunch of work here before the weekend. Looking forward to the APB headstart tomorrow, though I imagine it will be laggy as all hell. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Here’s an awesome heartwarming video to put a smile on your face.

Puzzle Quest devoured a fairly large chunk of my life back in 2007. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix… just didn’t do it for me. Now Puzzle Quest is back with a true sequel to the throne. If you’re not familiar, Puzzle Quest takes a gem-based puzzle game, like Bejweled, and wraps a fun fantasy RPG adventure around […]

UPDATE The maintenance is finished, thanks a lot for your patience :). So what’s new? Pretty much nothing to be honest. 95% of the changes were made on the backend of the site. The good news is that this site now loads up a lot faster. One of the change some of you will definitively […]

Whew! I’ve finally finished reading through all of the contest entries. I took my time with them because you guys took the effort to write these scripts and send them in, and I wanted to make sure I thoroughly read and judged each one. I apologize for the delay, I know you were anxious to […]

Alternate title for this comic, “Taste the brain blow”? I don’t mean to keep jabbing at the Kinect, but this is the first thing I thought when I saw the demo of Kinectimals at Microsoft’s Press conference. Putting aside that it’s a motion control game obviously geared for kids, the video (assuming it was a […]

So the E3 floodgates are open, and it’s been a good one so far. Not the best in memory as far as announcements and “wow factor”, but with the dark days of E3’s near demise still so recent, the show doesn’t have to do much to look good in comparison. I think it would be […]

I’ve been working on this art a little at a time… yesterday I wasn’t feeling to well so I decided to just sit down and get it finished. About four years ago I was in a store and saw some action figures, I’m not sure if they even make them anymore, called Star Wars Unleashed. […]

Just in time for grilling season, our Chef Brian cook’s apron is now available from our store. Cook the world!

At this point, the deadline for the Monster Hunter 3 contest has passed. I want to thank everyone that entered. It’s probably going to take me through the weekend to finish reading through all of the entries (there are over four hundred of them). When I’m done, I’ll contact the winner directly and make an […]
