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, [...]
While at the Mad Catz Unleashed in Boston, we had the opportunity to speak with a VERY reliable source that said that Tropico 5 will be unveiled at Gamescom. If you are unfamiliar with the Tropico series, it is a construction/political sim that is a very tongue-in-check experience. While our source has asked to remain anonymous, [...]
If you remember correctly, developer Giant Sparrow released their incredibly surreal and artistic adventure “The Unfinished Swan” way back in October, which also happened to be the first project they had created as a studio.

Rayman Origins was one of my favorite games in a long, long, long time! I cannot stress enough how much I loved it! I don’t want to break my keyboard’s exclamation point key, so I’m going to have to show a bit of restraint. With around twenty-five years of gaming, it’s hard to make a [...]

It’s one of the most painful things I’ve had to write, but it’s now safe to say, THQ is no more.

We figured that we wouldn’t hear any details regarding where the studios [...]
Acclaimed mad man Suda 51 has unveiled some new information regarding his upcoming release, Killer is Dead.

Riot’s been doing an incredible job with their new champions as of late. As each new champion enters the Fields of Justice, they’ve all had a fairly unique feel to them. Their skills or styles might mimic other champions, but they’ve all felt unique and interesting to play. You could argue that Vi’s not so different from Warwick, or [...]

However, look a bit closer and you’ll notice that not only is Zed’s [...]
Riot Games’ League of Legends is always up for throwing a few surprises out. While we were out trick or treating, they snuck a sneak peek out of their 107th champion, a ninja by the name of Zed. While obviously Ionian, Zed seems far more sinister than the trio of ninjas that [...]

It has happened yet again, folks. Today, EA announced that their newest basketball entry, NBA Live 13 has been cancelled.
