MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA Official Cinematic Trailer Released
EA has released a new trailer for BioWare’s MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA today. For fans of the series, there is enough here to intrigue. The game has a vague release of Spring 2017, and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that’s too long a wait!
Akuma Being Added to Street Fighter V
Suddenly, all seems right with the world. During the Capcom Pro Tour North America finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds in Seattle, Washington this past weekend, a teaser video for Street Fighter V was run. The video, clocking in at a mere 24 seconds, fills my heart with joy. In it, a bleak scene of a dilapidated dojo during a storm almost immediately fades to black. Soon, a familiar gruff voice is h...[Read More]
BlizzCon 2016 Impressions
Every year, the High Priests of Blizzard gather their flock and descend upon Anaheim, California to profess their faith and devotion. They call it BlizzCon, and they bill it as some celebration of gaming. Obviously, it’s just a front ritualistic activity. I’ve seen the pictures. People dressed as demons and orcs and pandas. There’s even a Weird Al Yankovic sighting this year. It’s obviously pagan ...[Read More]
New Overwatch Animated Short formally introduces Sombra
For BlizzCon 2016, Blizzard played a new animated short that finally introduced Overwatch’s much-hyped hero, Sombra. The short interrupted a retrospective of Overwatch’s launch day, glitching out the video in true Sombra style. It follows the stealthy hacker on a mission alongside Widowmaker and Reaper. She looks exactly like she does in the most recent leaked image. Judging by her mov...[Read More]
10 Best Horror Games
With Halloween approaching, the gimmick of writing about scary things becomes prevalent. Well, far be it for me to buck the tradition. I mean, what am I gonna write about in October, Christmas games? I decided to go back to my past and chronicle the games that scared me the most. Believe it or not, that’s not a simple thing to do. The horror genre has many entries across numerous platforms, but mo...[Read More]
Twenty Years of Cutting Edge- How Resident Evil is Ready to Put the Fear Into VR
There are two types of horror games: visceral, disturbing psychological horror games; and B-movie horror games with cheesy dialogue, cheap jump scares, and increasing ludicrous plots of viruses, zombies and useless ‘special ops’ teams. The former, exemplified by Silent Hill (thanks in part to its developer and gradually worsening installments) and, more tragically, last year’s PT, migh...[Read More]
Titanfall 2 Will Have No Season Pass or “Hidden Costs”
There are a slew of big-name titles dropping for interested gamers. Many of them are intriguing, some not so much. Almost all, however, have one thing in common: Season Passes that promise “exciting” content at a later date for some money now. Titanfall 2, out tomorrow, will be one title that will not play that game. If you head on to Respawn Entertainment’s site and read their “10 Ways Titanfall ...[Read More]
New Video Game Releases for Week of October 25, 2016
This week, the gaming gods bless us with a smorgasbord of games. By far the two biggest names on the docket are Friday’s big releases, Titanfall 2 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. Before then, though, there are plenty of big names, like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Just Dance 2017, and World of Final Fantasy. PlayStation VR users will have some new titles, including Carnival Games VR a...[Read More]
Never Played: Doom
This entry is not technically worthy of being here. I did play the Doom multiplayer beta back in April, an experience I was not too fond of. Although I have heard many positive things about the campaign, I had mostly avoided the game. The reason why is as silly as it is real: I don’t enjoy first-person shooters like I used to. I was a huge fan of the FPS back during the original Doom on PC. In the...[Read More]
Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer Released
Tow days ago, Rockstar teased, then confirmed, everyone’s collective wish: Red Dead Redemption 2 is real and will release Fall 2017. Today. Rockstar released a trailer for the newly-announced game. Though the details are very scarce, the game’s Old West setting is beautifully shown. The only thing of substance shown was in the ending, which shows seven men – which I assume are th...[Read More]
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Open Beta Impressions
By the time I realized that the open beta for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was running, I was halfway into this past weekend. My time with the game might not have been as extensive, but I put enough time in to give my impressions. The first thing I can happily say about Bandai Namco’s latest entry is that it feels like the original, only more polished. I’m a complete DBZ dork, and any chance to smoothl...[Read More]
PlayStation VR Review
There are a few significant factors to take into account when considering virtual reality as a viable option for gaming and consuming entertainment. The exposure and influx of VR hardware over the last couple of years asks two questions. Which is the one to get (if any), and is it really worth the cash? If it comes down to the lowest common denominator – price, then I’m not sure the qu...[Read More]
