Review – Metro: Last Light (PC/XBOX 360) The Most Intense Shooter This Console Generation
I am running through a mutant-spider infested metro tunnel. The only thing that is keeping these man sized arachnids at bay is my shotgun, which does little to no damage to them, and my flashlight. I find an unlit lantern on the ground and light it so I can get a moment to compose myself [...]
Review: ShootMania Storm (PC) is the Best PC Shooter I’ve Ever Played
Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter-Strike – these are all big names in the FPS market if you are a PC gamer. The thing is, these games are all cut from the same cloth. Military games, the person with the better weapon and more time spent grinding games, the better advantages you will probably have. I [...]

Review – Dead Island Riptide(Xbox 360)
I reviewed the original Dead Island almost two years ago. I thought it was a fun game, a few flaws held it back from absolute greatness, but ultimately a ton of fun. I had just purchased a PC version of the game when I heard the announcement about the spinoff/sequel Dead Island Riptide. I had [...]
Review: Guacamelee! (PS3) – ¡Calienterrific!
It seems like an eternity since DrinkBox Studios unveiled Guacamelee!. That might be because the announce trailer debuted in late 2011, or maybe it’s porque every tidbit of información elevated my anticipación to mucho grande. Whatever the case, el nuevo de abril está aquí. Just as expected, Guacamelee! is estupendo! Pitched from the homesick mind [...]

While at PAX East, we had an opportunity to get an in depth look at the game Watch Dogs. Yes, the hype train is correct, this game looks to be every bit of awesome that you have seen in previews, sneak peeks and trailers all over. What we saw at PAX, however, was an exclusive [...]
Top 10 Tuesday: Best of PAX East 2013
This year’s PAX East was a bit of a different affair for me than last year’s show. Last year there were a bunch of high profile games I was really excited to see in action, but there were far fewer games being shown this year that really had me interested. Of course there were a [...]
Dungeon Defenders II Impressions (PAX East 2013)
Dungeon Defenders was a fun action/tower defense hybrid with some RPG elements and a focus on cooperative play. It was one of the first games I reviewed for Gaming Irresponsibly, back in October 2011, and I really enjoyed it. Developer Trendy Entertainment was showing the sequel at PAX East, and I had a chance to [...]
Coming Soon: Consoles Games to Expect in April

Stinkyboard Foot Controller Kickstarter Launches Today
I’ll be 100% honest here, I hate Kickstarters for the most part. With the exception of a few situations, They’ve been filled with empty promises and smoke and mirrors. Now, with that being said, I have no problem backing a Kickstarter on a project I have personally seen, know it works and actually exists. Stinkyboard, [...]
