Alrighty folks, the contest is closed. The number I was thinking of was 2028. I’ve notified the winners via email. Thank you all for participating!

Free stuff is pretty awesome, wouldn’t you agree? So in the spirit of the awesomeness of free stuff, we’re giving away some free stuff. Funimation has given us some Casshern Sins swag to give away, which means it’s contest time! I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 10,000. Send an email to cad.contest (at) […]

I liked the first Kane and Lynch, despite the fiasco surrounding its advertising. I liked the co-op campaign, and I really liked the Fragile Alliance multiplayer mode, despite its issues. And as much as I’m looking forward to the sequel next week, having been playing the multiplayer demo recently, I’m afraid that the game is […]

First things first, all of the character tee shirts (Ethan, Lucas, Lilah, Zeke and Chef Brian) in our store have been marked down to $13.95 to clear the way for new inventory later this year. As with the previous six generations of character shirts, once these are gone, they’re gone for good. We will not […]

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 […]
