If geeks love it, we’re on it
Some have suggested that I may be a rabid fan of Half-Life 2. Those who say this are wrong. I’m an obsessive maniac about everything Half-Life 2. I love the game to death. I’ve played so many mods for the game that I lost count at around 70 (and that doesn’t include mods for Half-Life). […] Add comment

Those lucky bastards at IGN got a hands-on with the multiplayer mode of Dead Rising 2 at TGS2009. We’re not sure if or where Dead Rising 2 fits in with original Dead Rising canon, as it seems the premise this time is that you are a contestant on a game show that pits people against […] Add comment

Atlus Faithful members today got a teaser email with a sassy picture of cosplayers and a hint to “prepare yourself” for Atlus-o-Weenie 2009. Atlus has always been a fixation for cosplayers because their games usually feature elaborate sets, characters, and costumes.

It kinda sucks being twelve hours behind the 2009 TGS (think the “E3 of Japan”), but we’ll try our best. Today Nintendo not only confirmed the rumor that the price of the Wii has dropped to $199 as of September 27, but they also announced the release date for New Super Mario Brothers: November 15 […] Add comment
Games take the player to many different places: distant planets, historic battles, post-apocalyptic futures and through inter-dimensional portals. Games also have you fill some pretty strange shoes, from aliens, to spacemarines, to oppressed freedom-fighting theoretical physicists. So why not letting you become a droplet of water? What possible motivations could a droplet of water have? What […] Add comment
I’ve managed to stay away from this one. I’ve seen what it does to people. I’ve watched my editor in chief drool at his keyboard after playing it for a tenth hour in one sitting (YOU SHUT YOUR FACE, BOBBY-ed.).

That […] Add comment

A quick gaming aptitude test: Do you enjoy shooting things? Do you enjoy stopping facist Nazis from their goal of global domination? You most likely answered yes to both questions. There are few better games to satisfy those needs than the Wolfenstein series, which recently released its latest incarnation of the super-Nazi slaying, zombie blasting […] Add comment

There’s nothing I love more than seeing two competitors at each other’s necks, bludgeoning each other with bigger and better deals. The console war rages on and its most recent casualty comes in the form of pricing. Starting today, if you purchase an Xbox 360 Elite system, you’ll recieve a $50 rebate on the purchase […] Add comment

“I AM THE GOD QUEEN!,” I shouted gaily, my voice ringing across the green plains in front of me, echoing back to the mountains and beyond.
