Say hello to the first trailer for Telltale Games’ upcoming adventure game based on Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead. Beloved comic book becomes hit TV series, so obviously someone was going to snap up the videogame rights sooner or later. Thus, this. Based on that clip (and Telltale’s polarizing Jurassic Park game), I really have […]

Is Baldur’s Gate 3 About To Be Announced? [UPDATE: Nope]
??? Take a moment to visit baldursgate.com. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Notice that countdown? It started earlier today and should end at noon tomorrow. And what happens when it ends? I really have no idea. Neither does anyone who I’ve asked. Not industry folk, not colleagues, not people involved with the creation of the original […]

Whine About Mass Effect 3’s Ending While Helping Sick Kids
EA/BioWare I’m sure this is a metaphor for the game’s ending. Somehow. If you’ve spent any time on the geeky side of the ‘net over the past few days you’ve likely noticed that people are a bit pissed about the end of Mass Effect 3. The why’s aren’t important here, but what is important is […]

Here’s Your Halo Movie
A couple Halo fans with a $200 budget have done what neither Peter Jackson nor Neill Blomkamp could. Granted, it’s not exactly feature-length, and the actors are quite possibly made of ham, but still. This is a Halo movie, and its pretty impressive, all things considered. If nothing else, the internet likes it a hell […]

Review: Street Fighter X Tekken
Capcom I’ll admit, I had my doubts. I mean, Street Fighter is THE classic 2D fighter, while Tekken was created to offer the polar opposite experience thanks to then-new PlayStation-era 3D technology. On paper, there’s no way these two properties should mesh, and yet producer Yoshinori Ono and his Capcom team not only made a […]

Street Fighter X Tekken: A Gift From Capcom To Me To You
Capcom Click to embiggen. It’s worth it. As a games journalist, it’s pretty common for new games to just appear on my doorstep. Usually these are simple packages including the game, maybe a t-shirt and a few pieces of loose-leaf glossy paper pointing out whichever features of the game the PR team wants to make […]

Mass Effect 3 Sucks, The Internet Says So
EA/BioWare This is obviously a metaphor for sodomy. Today sees the launch of the highly-anticipated Mass Effect 3, but before you rush out to buy a copy, take a moment to listen to the opinion of the common man. Courtesy Metacritic user “EndOfLine:” This is the end of the like for mass effect, and bioware […]

Assassin’s Creed III: Like Last Of The Mohicans But With More Neck Stabbing

The game runs on a brand new engine (that lets you climb trees), and is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC at the end of October. Sometime after that, the company will also be releasing […]
