Castlevania Lords of Shadows 2 Teases Before E3

Konami’s press conference today held quite a few big numbers. One of them being a full 6-minute trailer to the conclusion to the Gothic epic, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2. To be honest, I haven’t been the biggest fan of the Castlevania series since they sort of went God of War on us, but the latest entry in the series seems to be the biggest thing since its inception. In the video seen below, we see everything from some of the powers you [...]

New Deus Ex Goes Mobile

I loved everything about 2011′s action-RPG Deus Ex: Human Revolution; from the stealth mechanics to the way you could upgrade Adam and make him how you would want to adapt in the future. Obviously, I am not the only one who enjoyed it and it’s successful history as Square Enix announced today that a new title in the franchise named Deus Ex: The Fall will be available for mobile and tablet devices “soon”. Not a whole lot has been revealed in terms of gameplay [...]

GTA V Finally Gets Special & Collector’s Editions

(Cue “Radio Ga Ga’) At long last, everyone’s questions have been answered. Starting today, Rockstar has released the pre-orders for their upcoming heist epic Grand Theft Auto V and in two variations. Besides the vanilla edition, complete with a copy of the game and not much else, you can also pre-order the ‘Special Edition’ and the top of the food chain ‘Collector’s Edition’. Here’s a rundown of what to expect when you drop the money for this year’s most anticipated game. [...]

Splinter Cell: Blacklist Co-op Trailer Just Went to the Top of My Blacklist

2010′s Splinter Cell: Conviction was easily one of my favorite games of that year. Not only did it have a great story that showcased Sam Fisher’s new array of badass stealth mechanics, but it had one of the best co-op campaigns I had ever played. With Splinter Cell: Blacklist coming out this year, there’s even more to get excited about. Especially the return of the co-op story. The trailer above shows some intense and very fun segments dealing with sneaking in a guarded [...]

PS4, Xbox Infinity, and You

While most of us are unsure of what to expect, there is something we can all come to somewhat of an agreement on. Slowly, but surely, we are headed towards the next generation of video game home consoles. Whether they bring about a much needed upgrade to the hardcore gamer demographic, or seek to change the very fabric of entertainment as we know it, Microsoft and Sony are providing a new console this year for a new generation; complete with [...]

Next Xbox Codenamed ‘Fusion’

When you image search ‘next Xbox’ and this comes up, you don’t question it. As we approach closer to Microsoft’s upcoming event, more information is coming to light. One of them being that the original codename for it, ‘Durango’, has been dropped in favor of ‘Fusion’. Not only does this make us wonder what secrets have been kept behind Microsoft’s doors made entirely out of Bill Gate’s money, but it is a little more fitting, and not so much like [...]

GTA 1 & 2 Coming to Sony Hardware

In possible celebration of the next big thing in gaming, it looks like two of the original releases in the mega super triple-A blockbuster are coming to PSN and the Vita. Grand Theft Auto and GTA 2 have been noted on the ESRB’s official site and with it comes another inevitable slew of mayhem and massacre revitalized for the next generation of unlucky children who never got to experience the classic’s history from the beginning. The original Grand Theft Autos were nothing like they [...]

Music Does The Game Good

  While it is probably one of the lesser appreciated aspects of a video game, (damn graphics and all of their fancy polygons) music is definitely one of the most remembered and cherished. From humming the Mario theme down the street to having the Final Fantasy VII victory fanfare set as a ringtone on your phone and full-fledged orchestral concerts celebrating the sounds that give you a reason to take note and listen, it is and probably will continue to [...]

Injustice: Gods Among Us Review – Aquaman’s Back, Bitches

Ever since the Mortal Kombat reboot came out back in 2011, fans of the popular fighting franchise eagerly anticipated a sequel to the immensely successful blockbuster hit. So when NetherRealm Studios announced their new fighting game wasn’t a continuation to the MK title at all, but a game based soley on the DC comic universe instead, there was a slight hesitation on my part personally. How do you make a fighting game where Superman goes mano-a-mano with Harley Quinn and manage to keep it [...]

Guacamelee! Review – Luchadora the Explorer

  Take two parts action platformer, one part Lucha Libre, shake (not stir) it, set it south of the border, and what do you get? One of the years most humorous and addicting downloadable margaritas to hit Sony’s console/handheld. Guacamelee! is the latest game from Drinkbox Studios which blends traditional Mexican folklore and an intuitive fighting system together in a Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic reminiscent of the Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory. It’s got the looks and the attitude, but does Guacamelee! have what [...]
