A few weeks back word leaked out about a filed trademark for a new Spider-man game, Shattered Dimensions. Yesterday a trailer for the game dropped and frankly, it looks pretty neat. Though, to lay the cards on the table here, I am a sucker for all games Spider-man. Spider-man 2 (yes, based on the movie) […]

I conversed with a couple of readers this weekend via email about Assassin’s Creed, and our thoughts on the combat system, etc, and it got me thinking about the inevitable third installment in the franchise. I believe I read somewhere a while back that it was a possibility that the protagonist for the next game […]

With Borderlands just about in the bag (a few more quests, a couple more levels and Crawmerax to deal with), I’m continuing to claw through my backlog of unfinished games from the fall rush before Splinter Cell and Monster Hunter Tri take over next month. I decided to go back and play Assassin’s Creed 2. […]

I’ve got mixed feelings about Just Cause 2. On the one hand, grappling hooks in games just about always equal win (the latest Bionic Commando being the first to spring to mind as an exception to this rule). On the other hand, the controls in the demo seemed a little bit stiff and clunky. Also, […]

We’ve got a bunch of Digital Overload 2010 videos up on the Digital Overload YouTube channel. We’ve got some big things in store for the 2011 event, and we hope you’ll join us next year for even more crazy fun!

During the last crazy fall release bonanza, there were a couple of titles that got stuck into the “I’ll play it in a few months, after I’ve beaten some other titles, after Digital Overload, etc” pile. One of these titles was Borderlands. So I’m late to this particular dinner party, but man the food is […]

I’ve been going back and forth since yesterday afternoon about which version I like better. I consulted my better half, and she likes the currently posted version the best, so that one stays in the archive. Still, I’ll post the alternate version here, since some people liked that one.

Finally starting to recouperate from this weekend. What a blast that was. It’s funny, in the weeks leading up to Digital Overload there’s so much stress involved. “Did I forget anything, is everything planned out, is everything going to arrive on time, what’s going to explode and how will we fix it?” And yet as […]

Spectator passes will be available at the door for $20. Do not forget your waiver! Having it filled out already speeds up your check-in process. If you are under 18, it is essential that your parent/guardian signs this for you before you leave for the event. We cannot admit you unless this is signed by […]

So you may have heard about the global Playstation 3 meltdown (or ‘ApocalyPS3’) earlier this week when a small error in the system’s internal clock as it relates (I assume) to leap years rendered many systems unplayable for a whopping 24 hours. I imagine I don’t need to tell you, some people flipped. The conspiracy […]

I had intended to do a newspost last Friday. I had stuff to talk about, I had it all written in my head. I was going to type it out. Heavy Rain had other ideas. To say that Heavy Rain grabbed me would be an understatement. Heavy Rain tackled me and put me into a […]

I think I’ve mentioned before that I just don’t have the mindset to play RTS’ competitively. I’m too much of an “amass and destroy” player, and that doesn’t hold up against the “lololololrush” strategies. There was a time about eight years ago when I was playing a lot of Starcraft, and managed to accrue a […]

I can’t vouch for every one of Blizzard’s hojillion World of Warcraft servers, but at least on the server I play on, not a day seems to go by without a public channel exploding into a redundant debate about skill vs. gearscore. For those who don’t play WoW, or don’t play WoW at the endgame […]

So Digital Overload registration is closed. You can no longer register for a Gamer or Tabletop badge. However, if you registered before the cutoff date and haven’t paid yet, you can still log in and pay for your badge for another few days. So for those of you waiting on a paycheck or whatnot, you […]

Allow me to preface this by saying I support the right of game developers to try and protect their software from piracy. I also disagree with pirates who think they’re entitled to these games for free, especially pirates who act like they’re justified in stealing just because a company implements measures to try and prevent […]

Today is your last day to register for Digital Overload 2010, which is just two weeks away. At this point, you can’t say I haven’t warned you. If you’re asking yourself what Digital Overload is, allow me to sum up. Forty-eight hours of PC games, console games, tabletop games, tournaments, movies, raffles, laser tag, SUMO […]
