Do you remember the years that would go by without new games from Blizzard? Enjoy 2012 because this doesn’t happen very often. Elsewhere, hackers are still being dicks to games that don’t deserve it. We previewed the first major month of new releases, explored our backlog, and introduced your weekly radio segment. Last Week’s Headlines… Continue reading
I have always been okay with watching other people play video games. Sure, there are times when I’d like to be the one playing, but sometimes I’d just like to see the story without actually having to go through the ordeal of actually physically controlling the characters. Recently I’ve noticed myself watching a lot more… Continue reading
Diablo III. It’s arguably the biggest release of the year so far (notice I said arguably Mass Effect 3 fans). I have been pretty meh about the hype surrounding this game but I was never really that interested in the series as a whole. I remember watching friends play Diablo and Diablo II on many… Continue reading

Without monsters, humans would go unchecked and overpopulate the Earth, causing environmental catastrophes that… Continue reading

Along with the release of Left 2 Die, Aiur Chef and StarJeweled, Blizzard also released accompanying achievements to unlock while… Continue reading
I know I’m behind on the times, but I just recently downloaded the Super Meat Boy demo on Xbox Live after much fanfare from JDevL. The first few levels were pretty standard platformer action, but it’s what happened around the fifth demo level that truly blew my mind. The game was insanely difficult, I died… Continue reading
With the incredible success of World of Warcraft, an MMO based on an RTS, the question has often been posed about whether Blizzard’s other huge RTS would ever get the MMO treatment. This week, World of StarCraft was revealed, but not in the way that most would have anticipated. A video for World of StarCraft… Continue reading
A lot of digital lifeforms died this past year and I’m proud to say I’m responsible for a chunk of those deaths. To say 2010 was a bloodbath would be an understatement, I started the video game apocalypse in a number of titles and had a heck of a time doing it. I got distracted… Continue reading
