Get back at the man this summer by skipping the Steam Summer Sale and buying some DRM-free games in today’s freshly launched “2013 #NoDRM Summer Sale” from the fine folks at GOG.com (formerly known affectionately as Good Old Games). The GOG Summer Sale will run from now through July 5th. Okay… it’s probably still worth…
It’s no secret that MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) gaming really found its niche in the world of online gaming. The original MOBA, which was a mod for Warcraft III referred to simply as DotA (Defense of the Ancients) was one of the most popular gaming mods in history, attracting thousands and thousands of gamers…
Just days before E3, EA’s DICE studio released a video to promising they had surprises in store for audiences. The video featured DICE Studio’s General Manager, Karl-Magnus Troedsson promising “Surprises” and “Awesome games” at E3. The video can be found covered by Geek Insider here. After seeing the video, a majority of the internet assumed…
Microsoft did disappoint quite a few gamers when it announced that the new Xbox One will require you to connect to the internet once every 24-hours. However, the company’s Executive Don Mattrick says that the company is also offering an offline solution to the gamers, the Xbox 360. In an interview with GameTrailers, Xbox Chief…
Do you remember your best friend from grade school? Remember that time when that best friend moved away? Remember when they came back to visit and you bought terrible tasting smoothies together and purposefully threw them in the middle of the street to see if cars might run them over? Okay, that last bit might…
It wasn’t all Xbone and PS-FTW this week at E3 2013 (Get it? PS-four-the-win? Bah. I’ll show myself out). Tons of new PC game releases got new buzz and trailers. Today a boatload of those E3 games received a slashing discount thanks to new coupon codes at Green Man Gaming, resulting in discounts between 20% and…
I love the Elder Scrolls series. I just wanted to get that out of the way so nobody thinks otherwise. I began playing the series when Morrowind was it’s newest game and have been in love ever since. There are just things that the Elder Scrolls games have done that no other franchise seems to…
The Saints Row series marches on, with the August 20th release of Saints Row 4. Many were concerned about the series with the bankruptcy of THQ, but Deep Silver has grabbed the baton and set the game for an August 20th release date. Preorder copies get the “Commander and Chief Edition!” pack which includes a…
Few franchises have been as consistently strong as the GRID series. It started out as the TOCA Touring Cars series on PS1, producing one of the best racing games that console ever saw in TOCA 2 Touring Cars. It had a wobbly PS2 debut with TOCA Race Driver, featuring a laughably stupid Days of Thunder-esque…
Nintendo is an interesting beast when it comes to releasing new consoles. They tend to roll out completely revolutionary hardware but with the smallest library you could possibly imagine. The launch of the Wii U was a primary example of this dilemma: awesome hardware with an all new way to play games but barely any…
If you’re the kinda person who gets sucked into a long drawn-out board game of Risk, the Europa Universalis series has a lot to offer. It’s a game of trade and global domination set to the age of exploration, as historically accurate as they can be. On August 13th, the forth and newest installment Europa…
Dear Xbox, I think we need to start seeing other people. Well, you need to maybe start seeing other people and I need to start seeing other consoles. You’re a great franchise of consoles. It’s just, after your One reveal, then your E3 conference and then seeing Sony’s E3 press conference, I really feel that…
After the Xbox One Launch: Me: “Help me, E3 Microsoft Press Conference, you’re my only hope” Microsoft Press Conference: “I find your lack of faith disturbing” Then, I choked on sadness (and the shame of mixing of Star Wars quotes so badly). Xbox One: Is it THE One? If the Xbox One launch caste a…
Alright everyone, now that I’ve tackled the Xbox One reveal at E3, I think it’s time to move onto the Playstation 4. It seems that Sony decided to play it smart this year with their console release and took advantage of being the later of the two companies to reveal their console by taking some…
In a much-belated move timed with E3, Dell announced the entire Alienware laptop lineup is being refreshed with the introduction of Intel’s 4th generation Haswell CPUs. This is a relatively big deal, considering the M14x, M17x, and M18x (yes, there’s an 18-inch laptop out there) haven’t been redesigned since their release back in 2009. Each…
