A developing story out of Austin – Zynga is rumored to have laid off over 100 employees, essentially shuttering the office. News first spread around Twitter: So far, I’m hearing closures of Zynga in Boston, Chicago, and Austin. INTERESTING TIMING, EH? — Alex Navarro (@alex_navarro) October 23, 2012 Zynga just fired over a hundred people, […]
There’s really nothing better than a splicer piloting a huge mech and repeatedly blowing up a zombie in another mech. Such was my experience at New York Comic Con this year, and yes, I was the one dressed up as a Bioshock splicer, thank you for asking. I almost felt bad for that zombie guy. […]
This is probably not what Iggy Pop was thinking when he wrote “TV Eye,” but Nintendo is launching a service called TVii. Assuming, of course, that it’s pronounced TV Eye and not TV-eeeh (which sounds like you’re having a stroke whilst asking someone to hand you the remote.) Not knowing how to pronounce the product […]
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 […]

Dark Souls is one of the most brutally challenging, but fair games I have ever played. The Prepare to Die Edition adds new bosses, monsters, areas to explore, simplifies online play, and it throws in a couple of NPCs and more equipment. Methodical combat removes the reliance on high-level gear while impressing the importance of […]
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 […]
Outernauts is a science fiction role-playing game that’s essentially Pokemon meets The Jetsons, and it’s available to play for free on Facebook.
