[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96U2gkgK0o4′] Essentially, this upcoming title features a line of collectible figures that erupt into photonic life on the TV (or handheld device) when placed on the Infinity Base. There’s an initial lineup of 17 character figures that […]
Rocksteady Studios and Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment bought 15 domains and every single one of them has the word Arkham somewhere in the URL. A chosen a title for the new game hasn’t been announced and there isn’t much information beyond speculation about its mechanics or story, but it is rumored that the universe will delve into the […]
What has four wheels, two thumbs, and the possible release date for Grand Theft Auto V? Most of the internet by now, it seems. On Christmas Eve, Amazon leaked the launch date of March 26 for the pre-purchase time. As the date hasn’t yet been confirmed by any official sources, we’ll keep an open mind […]
The National Rifle Association lay silent shortly after the horrific Newtown shooting in which twenty children and six adults were indiscriminately killed with a military-style Bushmaster rifle. It’s a tragedy that has seized America in grief. Using this moment of silence to assess their options, the NRA tactfully asserts their 141 years of wisdom to shovel the […]

Set five years after the original, Borderlands 2 enriches the world of Pandora with lush new environments, deepened characters, and a villain worth fighting. Betrayed vault hunters on Pandora must track down the egotistical, charismatic, and ludicrously wealthy Handsome Jack, antagonist and likable bastard both. The writing is spectacular (and filled with easter eggs); simple side quests aren’t boring […]
Darksiders II, developed by Vigil Games, follows Death, a nephilim and rider of the four horsemen, who seeks to absolve his brother War of annihilating the entire human race and prematurely bringing about the apocalypse — not something easily swept under a rug (no matter the size). Death is clearly the most obvious “person” to […]
Another year, another glorious three days of QuakeCon. Sadly, last Saturday marked the end to what might be the most memorable gaming convention I’ve attended yet. Packed full this year, booths such as Eternal Fate (with some of the nicest developers I’ve ever met), Doom 3 3D, Triad, and oh, yes, Dishonored, lured what was labeled […]
