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. [...]

Remedy Talks Alan Wake 2, Releases Alan Wake Humble Bundle

During yesterday’s Xbox One reveal, Remedy’s next project, Quantum Break, was announced and given a trailer. Today, Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake released a video addressing fans on exactly what the developer’s new IP means for the Alan Wake saga. In the video, Lake addresses the challenges facing Alan Wake 2. Though the franchise has now sold more than 3 million copies and become somewhat of a cult hit, original sales figures were not as promising. According to Lake, “Even though we [...]

Pushmasters Review – Fear the Cat Lady

There are a lot of games out there whose names offer you no help in determining what the gameplay is going to entail (I’m looking at you, Square Enix). In the case of Pushmasters, the whole premise of the game can be determined from the name: you are essentially pushing enemies the whole time. Pushmasters starts off by letting you choose one of five different levels. Each level offers a unique environment to push enemies off of. From here, you [...]

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? [...]

Cheesy but Great: Doritos Crash Course 2 Hits Xbox LIVE

When it comes to corporate sponsored, free-to-play, corn-based-product-based video games, look no further than Doritos Crash Course (2010). This little gem, a sidescrolling platformer inspired by obstacle course game shows like Ninja Warrior (Japan) and Wipeout (America), is surprisingly addictive. Players take control of their Xbox avatars, running, jumping, sliding, and weaving their way through a total of 15 colorful obstacle courses (30 with the “City Lights” DLC), racing against friends online and competing for the best times on the [...]

Fable: Molyneux And Molyold

With the recent news of the hire of John Needham as Lionhead Studios’ new head, and the upcoming announcement of the next generation Xbox, this is the perfect opportunity to take a look at the history of the Fable series, one of the few remaining Xbox exclusives. While the games weren’t the revolutionary masterpieces that the bombastic Peter Molyneux kept promising his fans, they all had at least some new features that helped the series stand out.

Remember Me Trailer Released – Memories of the Way We Whirr

In the mood for a cyberpunk-themed action adventure? You only have just over a month to wait until Capcom’s Remember Me launches and scratches that itch. The game is set in Neo-Paris of 2084 and centers around the use, misuse, and manipulation of memories as a central mechanic. Much like how last year’s Dishonored called back to a number of influences, Remember Me‘s theme and style evokes *ahem* memories of other titles such as Deus Ex, The Matrix, and the [...]

Metro: Last Light PC Specs Revealed

It’s been a bit of a long road for Metro: Last Light with it being delayed and also finding itself as one of the properties bandied about in the THQ rubble back at the beginning of the year. After getting picked up by publisher Deep Silver, it is finally ready for release on May 14, 2013. Not only is this series a fantastic adventure set in (and mostly under) post-nuclear Moscow, but it’s based on an excellent series of books [...]

[News] XCOM: Enemy Unknown Announced For iOS

At the tail end of 2012, the game EVERYBODY at Twinfinite HQ was playing was XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Hell, my man Muaz Zekeria kept a log of his playthrough with all of us as his team. While it was released on PS3, 360, and (its proper place…let’s be honest) PC, it didn’t get any love in the handheld realm. Well, hang on to your ray guns because this game is coming out on iOS! At this point Firaxis hasn’t released [...]

[Review] Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future of Rhythm Alien – Presented in Technicolor!

Beating Bit.Trip.Runner is one of my proudest accomplishment as a gamer. Months of pure concentration and seething hatred culminated in one of the most compelling game I’ve ever played. Then Gaijin Games decided to return with Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future of Rhythm Alien and I knew now that God was not a merciful one but rather one that continuously tries you. So I sat down in front of my computer, took a deep breath, and went down the [...]
