Let me tell you a story, a story about the little game franchise that could. Long, long ago a company had a surprise hit game they called Darksiders. Now this game lacked in a lot of ways other games of the time did not but it was surprisingly intriguing to many people even though it played like a Zelda knockoff. So deciding to keep a good thing going the company made a sequel, not only did it look like a ‘modern’ game but it mixed multiple genres that really brought it into its own. Even if it still played like…

They’re not giving themselves a lot of time to hype up the game before release are they? The release has been confirmed for 8/25/15 and it looks crazy in this new trailer at the bottom. It appears to be a sharper looking Heavy Rain and a far superior Beyond: Two Souls. You have to survive the night as eight different characters in which all or none of them can survive. To make it actually challenging the game saves constantly to keep you from testing out different paths. Kind of like the most brutal ‘choose your own path’ book ever. Like…

Good News Everyone! The free game I looked forward to and was so disappointed by this month, Ether One, is finally getting a patch. TODAY! The EU market has already had multiple patches but the US market has not had squat yet. It kind of makes sense though when you figure that the developers are located in the UK. I received a message from the developers themselves which states, The patch for the US should be going out today which should fix any issues people are experiencing. As you correctly mention, we patched these issues quickly in Europe (most of them…

So yeah, I’ve been waiting for this news a while now. I knew when it was announced that the new Ratchet and Clank movie was going to be in the Cannes film festival but there was no world or game release date yet that it was going to be pushed back. You don’t have a game make a move like this and don’t see the fan train coming from a mile away. Personally, there are worst trains to get run over by though. Both the game and movie are set for an April 29th 2016 release date now. Unlike most video…

So the new Assassin’s Creed has been revealed and it seems they dropped the victory title for the new Syndicate. I don’t have a clue where the story is going any more. Now we are not only assassins but apparently we control entire gangs and have to take over all the other… one gang member to rule them all! Seriously, it’s like playing GTA San Andreas except you fight like Batman now. For real, you literally have your own bat style grappling hook. I was worried about this game around the time AC 3 came out but then Black Flag…

Remember that piece I did on the Silent Hills game being canceled? Well it has only gotten weirder since then. The playable trailer, or PT, was removed from the PSN. The weird part, which came with no warning, was how they completely scrubbed it from the PSN altogether. So sorry if you previously downloaded it but it no longer exist. Unless it was on your PS4 before it was erased it is impossible to go back and get it. There has been wide spread outrage of this as well since there was no prior warning that PT would be removed…

Since May is the calm before the storm not much is coming out this month. While cleaning up my trophy list I noticed that some interesting titles were put up on the ‘free games for PlayStation gold members’ of the month club. While I typically shy away from most games I have to download, my PS4 and PS3 already have a tantrum if I try to play a new game, I found these titles rather intriguing. On the PS4 we have Guacamelee! and Ether One and on the PS3 there is The Unfinished Swan and Race the Son, I mean…

Alright well Nintendo had another Direct today… eventually. Maybe I had the time wrong but it seemed as though it started almost an hour late, a bad sign for what is supposed to be such a big new title for Nintendo. A company that beats old IP’s into a bloody mess on the floor like your mother downs cheap wine. Nintendo is even giving them their own amiibos, which seems like a big step for new characters right out of the starting gate. When will they come out? Don’t know. Who has two thumbs and doesn’t care? This guy. To be fair unlike most…

Holy hell this is a slow month for gamers! I just keep reminding myself that June will keep me busy between Elder Scrolls Online and Batman, not to mention a bunch of other mostly anime games. May 5th was the banner day of the month for all of us on PSN or for those of us who purchased the kombat pack for Mortal Combat X. First off is Jason Voorhees, the latest fighter who fits in surprisingly well with the cast of brutal fighters. What strikes me right away is that he is freaking huge, even compared to Ferra/Torr Jason…

Have you seen the new Batman trailer? Why the hell not? Go next door and watch it, I’ll wait… Watched it? Good. If you weren’t hyped for the new Batman, there’s something wrong with you. Otherwise there were a couple of important things to note from the trailer. For one, the possible spawn of the Joker, Arkham Knight, apparently has an army. An entire freaking army with tanks, mini guns and drones. I have no idea what the story is going to be like but that sounds awesome. Also, there appears to be a dual play system. No information on…
