E3- Assassin’s Creed IV Shows Off Really Gorgeous Trailer

I think more than any other series, Assassin’s Creed is never afraid to explore the fact that it can take place in any world, at any time. It may not always pay off fully, but whether it’s Renaissance Rome, Revolutionary America, or Johnny Depp Caribbeans Assassin’s Creed can at least flesh out its settings. That said, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag showed off a gorgeous wide screen trailer (apologies for the quality) that shows off the beautiful world the next [...]

[Wormlight] All the Video Games Merch That Money Can Buy

I enjoy writing about nerd culture in general, which includes gaming as well as writing about all kinds of sexy, collectible plastic goodness. I figured it was about time I combined these two things and shed some light on the kind of merch available for gamer fans. There’s a surprising amount of stuff out there, especially if you’re willing to import them from Japan. No, don’t look at me like that.. it’s a lot easier than it sounds. Promise! Check out my [...]

[Wormlight] Aliens on the Commodore 64 – Now THAT’s How You Do It.

Like so many other video game enthusiasts, I woke up last Tuesday morning anxious to see what the critical consensus was about the hotly anticipated and years-in-development Aliens: Colonial Marines. Trey’s review, as well as pretty much every other one out there, told the tale of a broken and unfinished mess. It’s never fun to see a game from a big developer be released in that state, but the fact that it was based on Aliens just made it that [...]

[Wormlight] The Discussion on Mobile Games Continues With Sony’s Chris Mahoney

Games Industry International has the report on Chris Mahoney’s talk at the recent Appsworld conference regarding console versus mobile gaming. Though Mahoney freely admits that mobile games are raking in some good dough and it’s easy to publish on the platform, he also suggests that porting console games to phones and tablets can be problematic. Part of the reason why is obvious: the console experience is not like the mobile experience. Even though mobile gaming is on the rise, the [...]

[Wormlight] Bastion’s Amir Rao talks about why lazy ports suck

As part of their coverage at DICE, Gamasutra published an article about Amir Rao’s talk regarding game ports, and why multi-platform developing should be a careful process. He highlights Plants vs Zombies as the prime example of how a game could work on different platforms when a team goes out of their way to consider their audience per platform aside from the basic game mechanics. It’s a good example: I, myself have bought Plants vs Zombies at least three times [...]

[RIP PS2] The PS2 is Faster than a Car

[The PS2 is now officially discontinued! We wanted to give this mighty system a proper farewell so we're dedicating an entire week to it.] This week we are celebrating the anything and everything about the Playstation 2. It was an amazing console and it can only be fitting that the system gets a proper sendoff. So today I thought I would share one of my favorite segments of a little known British show called Top Gear. In this motoring show in which [...]

At the Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco in March, the big bosses of Mega Man are going to be on display and oh man is this showcase looking great. The Mega Man Boss Battle Tribute Tumblr account has been [...]
