Brink Preview: PAX East 2011
1319 days
So, Mack and I got some time at PAX East with Bethesda's latest title, Brink, developed by Splash Damage. If you're unfamiliar with the game, let me give you the spiel from their site: Brink is an immersive first-person shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your ...
Deus Ex: Human Revolution in action

Let me preface this by saying the lines at PAX are horrendous. This is no fault of the organizers, of course. In fact, it's a testament to the popularity of the Convention (though I felt that, at least by description, the panels were a bit weaker than last year). Thankfully, the Deus Ex panel was ...

The Penny Arcade Expo is a massive event with much to see. Even media outlets with large teams aren't able to cover everything in-depth. Being as there are only three of us and we’re not earning an income from this site, we’ll only be writing substantial articles on the things that made the biggest impressions ...

0426 days
Big news for all you iPhone/iPod Touch gamers out there. iOS developer Firemint has released a hefty update to their popular iOS title, Flight Control. Now, even if you're not a fan of the game or perhaps this is the first you've heard of the title (if so, how's the weather on Neptune?), it's still ...
Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature space combat… a la Rebel Assault?
0530 days
This month's (the October issue... go figure) cover story at everyone's favorite gaming magazine, PC Gamer, focuses on the announcement of space combat in BioWare's up-coming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic . While I certainly think the entire concept of this game is interesting, I for one have a hard time equating the Star Wars ...
2D Beauty

Lately I've been talking a lot about innovation, where it comes from, and how it moves the gaming industry forward. It seems, to me at least, that much of what I consider innovation these days comes from the simplest designs. Perhaps it's because, once you strip away all the things we associate with gaming but ...
Final Fantasy XIII out in less than 24 hours and I wish I cared…

I know, I know. Almost everyone who reads this will, most likely, want to burn me at the stake but I guess I'm not all that interested in JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing Games) anymore. I try to be, I really do because, once upon a time, I really enjoyed them. Final Fantasy VII is still ...

Tom’s hardware had an article on their site about their impressions of the Starcraft II Beta. So naturally, I’m going to dissect it. In effect, my impressions of their impressions. Attention stat whores: Blizzard has accomodated you. “That was almost a decade ago, and Blizzard, you've come a long way, baby. I had an opportunity to sit down ...
Microsoft Surface helps D&D nerds
0726 days
I saw this over on Tom's Hardware initially: While I have never actually played a table-top RPG, I think this is a great display of how Surface can take something frightening and strange and make it more accessible. I hope people keep innovating with the platform, because I think it has some great potential for the ...
MAG: wave of the future or throwback to the past?

Let me start off by saying I don't own a PS3 and I have absolutely no intention of purchasing one (even if I had the money, which I don't). However, that doesn't stop me from occassionally reading about new games for consoles, particuarly if they seem to have something new to offer. That (and the ...
