Can We Please Make a Game Dev Reality Show?

Right now I’m watching Penny Arcade’s Strip Search reality show in what certainly feels like a devout fashion. While it stands out on its theme of bringing together a group of strangers to compete in an artoff, it really is just as formulaic as any other reality TV show out there. In that regard I would say that Penny Arcade found success simply because it’s just a good show at tying together the Penny Arcade brand and what they represent. [...]

Fishing Hero Impressions — Virtual Fishing for the Halibut

From G4Box and the interestingly named My New Children Inc., comes a new massive multiplayer online fishing game called Fishing Hero. This concept got some of us at the Twinfinite office very curious, so two of our writers set sail into the virtual blue yonder to give you their impressions of the game, letting you know whether or not Fishing Hero is worth looking into.

Let’s Play: Mass Effect Trilogy ME2 Insanity Mordin Roundup!

Welcome back!  In this EXCITING update for Let’s Play Mass Effect Trilogy, I head out to recruit Mordin.  Mordin is just an absolutely fantastic character (maybe my favorite squadmate), and his recruitment mission is certainly not a pushover on Insanity.  The room right before the clinic takes a very long time, and the final room with the fans is like a ten minute long combat section.  If you die you have to start it over from the top!  I did mention [...]

The Greatest of a Generation

With the PS4, Ouya and Xbox whatever on the horizon, the excitement, energy and emotion is starting to froth back up among gamers. We have the next generation already here with the Wii U, so everybody around the office felt its time to get reminiscent. It istime to look back at the best of the generation. This was like pulling teeth to get everybody to choose that one and only defining piece, but finally we all settled on the games that [...]

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 [...]

Doritos™ Land: A Post-Apocalyptic Vision of the Future

You’re trapped in a virtual rat’s maze and there’s no getting out. Of course, it’s not really you, not your physical body anyway: we’ve all been reduced to cheesy, poorly animated avatars. No one knows why we’re running through this deadly obstacle course, nor why we’re competing against each other for the fastest times. Who are these other people? Is this some sort of test? What do you even win if you get first place? Perhaps you get to stop? [...]

Happy Scary-Ass Mother’s Day from Twinfinite

Real talk: There is no job in the world harder than being a mother. Fatherhood certainly has its challenges from time to time, but there are some critical differences between the roles where it is strictly no contest. First of all, men have almost a year to prepare for a new child while women have to carry that little bundle of joy right from the start. Second, that connection from carrying a baby (as well as breastfeeding and such) creates [...]

Demon’s Souls: The Demon of the Nexus and Her Knight

“To every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods” – Thomas Babington Macaulay, Horatius A knight dies for a predestined duty. Dies again and again and again. Each time the knight rises from the muck to run into battle once more because at the end of the journey there is a promise, and he will see [...]

 

Positive Gamers Episode 4: Watch Your Own Screen

What’s this, a Positive Gamers that’s on time? That’s madness! This one’s on the topic of worrying too much about where others are in life compared to where you are. When you’re playing a game with a friend (the good old fashioned way), you’re not constantly peeking at their screen (unless you’re an awful cheater) because you need to focus on where your character is going. So treat life the same way, kind of. Don’t judge where your placement on the map called [...]
