Sage Knox — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:46:43 +0000

LucasArts was kind enough to give us a shot at the sequel to the company’s most successful game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. Starkiller is back in clone form, as the first game’s character death ending is now story canon. The demo begins in sort of a tutorial section with the original Starkiller’s love [...]

Set your calendars, fellow Monster Hunter junkies, because come December 1st you’ll be able to import a third (technically a fourth) epic hunt-a-thon for way too much money. But oh, will it ever be worth it. There aren’t many specifics available at this time, but it’s been confirmed that the aptly-named Monster Hunter Portable 3rd [...]

Rob Rich — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:24:40 +0000

Some of you may recall that Telltale Games announced their Back to the Future game a while back. If not, you know now. But that’s not the big news.

New Purchase Incentives – My Two Cents

Dustin Stevens — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:04:39 +0000

So you wake up, grab some breakfast, and fire up your console of choice to get some gaming in before you start your day. You load up some Dragon Age: Origins and laugh at the wacky antics of Shale, the stone golem with a hatred of all things chicken. After killing a few darkspawn you [...]

Xbox Live is About to Get More Expensive

Dustin Stevens — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:28:11 +0000

So. The PlayStation 3 lets people play games online and watch Netflix streaming for free. You run a competing console that charges for the same services. What do you do? You drop the price of your online service, offer it for free, or enhance your features to justify the price difference, right? Well, in the [...]

Welcome once again (and again, and again) to still one more edition of the Indie-Dome. This week has been… interesting to say the least. Just skip ahead to the likes of The ADVENTURES of CAPTAIN Becky to see what I’m talking about. Are you back? Okay, good. So it’s been a weird week filled with [...]

Soundtrack Spotlight: Blueberry Garden

Nate Andrews — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:35:26 +0000

I could gush at length about how everyone should buy the wrongfully overlooked Blueberry Garden and experience its deceptively simple gameplay and dynamic environment, but our own Scott Thompson has already addressed this urgent matter in his review of the game from last year. Instead, we’ll focus solely on one very important part of the [...]

The Whispered World – Crush! Frag! Review!

Beki Sutcliffe — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:52:31 +0000

With its stunning, hand-painted scenery and animation, lovable characters and Studio Ghibli feel, you’d be forgiven for thinking that The Whispered World was a children’s animated film, bringing back memories of watching Disney classics with your Grandma and crying at The Lion King (That wasn’t just me, right?). A homage to classics in the point-and-click [...]
