Since DUST514 is a whole new kind of beast — which is immediately apparent when you log in — I thought I’d take a new approach to writing about it. Even though I felt more prepared than your average shooter fan, I knew within the first 20 minutes that it was going to take me …
I’ve been following DUST514 for some time and can honestly say that I’m excited for the game. The more I hear, though, the more it seems that CCP is building an uphill battle for themselves with the very things that make the game compelling in the first place. It’s complex. It integrates with an existing …
This post originally appeared on Vagary.TV. We work awful hard over there, so if you like it, please consider adding us to your blogroll. I decided to write this because — *gasp* — friend and co-host, Adam “Ferrel” Trzonkowski has decided to wait on buying the game. Here I hope to capture a little bit of …
I’ve been a big fan of the Call of Duty games since Modern Warfare 2. I didn’t have a console before then (I’d been holding out with a pS2) and summarily died, over and over again, when I tried playing with friends. When I bought my first 360, though, I knew I needed to find …
I sat down with Arkham City (PS3) this weekend and something clicked: When I have time to game, RIFT is hardly ever my first choice anymore. Actually, MMOs in general aren’t my first choice. It might seem trite, but this is the first time in quite a while that I haven’t been “MMO Dedicated” even …
I’ve been mostly checked out of the MMO blogging world this past week but when I dropped in, it seemed like Skylanders had suddenly taken my “must read” list by storm. What’s more, it doesn’t seem to be on any merit of it’s own, but more of in the CCG, Gotta Catch ‘Em All, type …
I got into the PC gaming scene late. As a result, I missed a big chunk of classic games. Deus Ex was one of these. When Human Revolution started advertising, I pretty much wrote it off as another Square Enix non-RPG. (Their history isn’t very good in this regard). Without knowing anything of the franchise’s …
Raise your hand if you remember Oregon Trail – the original Oregon Trail. How about Where in the World if Carmen San Diego? Math Blaster? Probably a lot of you do. Where did you first encounter them? If you said “in school” you can happily stand beside the majority of twenty-, thirty-somethings as the first …
Despite claims to the contrary, there’s been some speculation lately that the 3DS may be in line for a hardware revision. Think “3DS Lite” or “3DS XL.” Given that the system only launched a scant six months ago, this would come as a big surprise. The thing is, the system has pretty much bombed. If Nintendo …
You know, I try to cut Gamestop some slack. Sure, I know about how they open games to keep discs behind the counter. I even know how they let their employees rent games which they turn around and sell as “new.” This… this is something else. In case you can’t open the link, here’s what’s …
