NFL Blitz Is Back!
By Jason Joseph at October 21, 2011 | 11:07 am | 0 Comment
One of the classic sports franchises in gaming is coming back from the dead and I am actually pretty excited for it. NFL Blitz is a game I used to play at my local arcade back in the day. Actually, I've always been a big fan of all these arcadey type of games, including NBA Jam and NHL Open Ice. It looks like EA is going all out in bringing NFL Blitz back and I have more...

Alright, so I am not going to lie... this looks pretty cool. I might have even gotten an inkling of excitement for the game out of watching this video, but pssh, don't tell anyone. Below you will find a behind the scenes style trailer where members of the two studios working on Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Sledgehammer/Infinity Ward) talk about the new strike more...

The greatest first person shooter of alllllll of the times is upon us, as Battlefield 3 launches in just in exactly three days, 13 hours and 54 minutes of this posting. But hey, who's counting? You could say I am a little excited for a multitude of reasons. I mean, first, come on, it's Battlefield 3 and then of course a close second, I totally took all of next week off more...
Shocking Introduction: The First 30 Minutes Of Batman: Arkham City
By Jason Joseph at October 18, 2011 | 10:49 am | 0 Comment
I have never been the biggest of Batman fans for some reason. He's a cool character and all, but I think the fact that he is so popular has always kind of pushed me towards other comic book characters. I know that makes absolutely zero sense, but that is somehow the way it has all worked out. It's like I have purposely avoided him. That all changed two years ago when more...
Shocking Introduction: A First Look at The Cursed Crusade Demo
By Jason Joseph at October 11, 2011 | 2:59 pm | 0 Comment
So I literally had no clue what this game was all about other than there was a crusade going on and it was cursed, but now I know. With a $39.99 retail price-tag at launch and some spiffy looking box art, my attention has been obtained. Seeing a demo pop up today on XBox Live? It was a no brainer that I was jumping on to figure out what this game is all about. The more...

Felicia Day has made her way into the world of Dragon Age II, and she does it as the newest playable character from the Mark Of The Assassin's DLC, a rogue named Tallis. Gaming's favorite red-head brings her talents to an exciting new batch of DLC that looks brings your Champion of Kirkwall, be it Garret or Marian, to an all new territory not previously seen in the more...

We are almost two weeks away from the end of life as we know it, and with that I am talking about the release of Battlefield 3. If you're itching for news like I am, be ready for an overload on the senses right here. Two new developer walkthrough videos have made their way to the net showing off two never-before-seen maps from Battlefield 3: Operation Firestorm on more...
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Finally Has A Campaign Trailer
By Jason Joseph at October 8, 2011 | 9:43 am | 0 Comment
OK, seriously... what is that? And where can I get one? One of the few reasons I have the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on preorder (and even took a vacation day the day of release) is because I know the campaign is going to be compelling. Modern Warfare 2 ended at a point where the series could have been written off and Soap and Price could have gone off into the more...
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Trailer (of sorts)
By Jason Joseph at October 8, 2011 | 9:28 am | 0 Comment
Dear Bad Kids of the multiplayer world, this is a game for you. I see you all the way at the back of your spawn with your silly little sniper rifle trying to hide in a bush and be super l33t with your sniping skillz, and it is annoying. Fortunately, there is a game where you can go off and do your sniping all by your lonesome, and pretty soon, a second one as well! more...
Shocking Introduction: A First Look at Dark Souls
By Jason Joseph at October 8, 2011 | 9:03 am | 0 Comment
I can't remember the last time I was this wishy-washy on buying a game. Dark Souls is a game that tells you exactly what it is, and I think that is incredibly fair. The game has a slogan of sorts that was posted everywhere during the marketing campaign for the game and it goes a little something like this: "You will die." Now in the world I live in, that is not exactly more...
New Game Informer Shows Off Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron
By Jason Joseph at October 6, 2011 | 2:08 pm | 0 Comment
The upcoming November issue of Game Informer is going to be epic and it is going to be awesome, but I guess that should go without saying at this point. High Moon Studio is fast at work on the follow-up on their smash hit Transformers: War For Cybertron and instead of just adding a 2 to the end of the title, they are going with "Fall Of Cybertron." Me Jay like title, me more...
Shocking Introduction: A First Look at Crysis Re-Released On X-Box 360
By Jason Joseph at October 5, 2011 | 11:40 am | 0 Comment
I have never been a PC gaming guy, and as such, I never really got the chance to play the original Crysis. The inside joke in the gaming community has always been "but can it run Crysis," and for years, the answer was no for the X-Box 360 and Playstation 3. Until now. With the success of Crysis 2 branching off to consoles a little over six months ago, Crytek has been more...
The New Playstation 3 “Michael” Ad Campaign Is… Awesome
By Jason Joseph at October 5, 2011 | 11:31 am | 0 Comment
Chalk one up to Sony for absolutely hitting one out of the park in the marketing department. Their latest ad has dropped and it features live action interaction between a number of prominent characters in both Playstation 3 exclusive and cross-platform games. This medley of characters includes Kratos (God Of War), Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Snake (Metal Gear), Ghost more...
DOOM and Fallout 3 Easter Eggs Found Early In RAGE
By Jason Joseph at October 4, 2011 | 2:51 pm | 4 Comments
So I am only a few hours into RAGE, but really early into the game, I have already found two Easter Eggs referencing other games in the Bethesda catalog. RAGE was released today by iD Software, and right from the opening of the game, the tributes to their past is evident. Upon leaving the ark after the opening sequences of the game, your character is rescued by a local more...
Shocking Introduction: A First Look at the First Hour of RAGE
By Jason Joseph at October 4, 2011 | 6:30 am | 0 Comment
Good things come to those who wait. For the folks at iD software, today may have seemed like a day that would never come, but alas, it has. RAGE is a game that has taken forever to finally see the light of day, as it was initially announced at QuakeCon all the way back in August of 2007. Two Fallouts and a Borderlands later, it may seem as though the whole more...
