It was really nice of PAX East to keep all of us who couldn’t attend so entertained throughout the weekend. Seriously, every time I cannot attend I commiserate with those who understand my pain, but it really did help that this particular show had a ton of news pouring out of it. I also understand… Continue reading

There’s been quite a bit of hemming and hawing in reference to Dead Space 3. Like the rest of my angry brethren, I too have some qualms about Isaac Clark’s latest adventure and apparently the latest trailer didn’t help matters all that much. Isaac isn’t Properly Equipped for this Challenge Despite wearing his signature armor and wielding the ever… Continue reading

Zynga has been in quite some trouble for the past half year and more. On Tuesday, October 23, 2012, those problems became more apparent when the company released 100+ employees, shut down its Boston office, and cut The Ville and Bingo teams.
