Gearbox: Just a “B” Studio?

- February 27, 2013

Gearbox Software just recently threw itself into yet another fiasco of a launch with their release of Aliens: Colonial Marines. Preview writers and interviewers claim they were lied to outright, reviewers absolutely despise the game, Sega may have been tricked into funding Borderlands 2 development instead of A:CM, and pretty much anyone who preordered the “game” feels scammed.

This seems to be a trend for them, so, let’s journey into my conspiracy theory to get a better peak at what the hell is wrong with Gearbox.

Ouya’s Risky Retail Gamble

- February 6, 2013

The Android powered micro-console that took Kickstarter by storm, won’t be an online exclusive for long. In June, just two months after initial sales and backed units begin shipping, the company is hoping to take that success out of the digital realm and repeat it in the physical by striking deals with GameStop, Target, and BestBuy.

While that’s surely a legitimizing move for the young new console, and the team behind it, it makes me wonder if Ouya has missed the point a little.

Steam Guides: The Beast Becomes Stronger

- January 24, 2013

There’s no contest when it comes to PC gaming: Steam is the place to be. Their sales drive interest of games through the roof, their overlay and community features are unparalleled, and their selection goes from all kinds of software to almost any kind of game. Although there have been many contenders that stepped up to the plate to offer similar services, many do so out of a sense of fear; afraid that by giving Valve a monopoly on PC gaming, we will lose that special something business thrives on: competition.

However, Valve is not intimidated by competition and seeks it out regularly with the implementation of bold new features. Last fall it was Big Picture Mode, moving the Steam experience away from the PC and into the living room. Now, it is eliminating the need for a second screen/device to look to for help, with their new community feature: Steam Guides.

Nintendo Force #1 is out and a thing of beauty

- January 13, 2013

For anyone who grew up with Nintendo Power, it was sad to see the last issue come out this December. I stopped buying it several years ago, but I always held a fond place in my heart for that publication and the work it did over the years. It seemed timeless and I wrongly assumed it would live on forever, even without our support.

With the launch of a spiritual successor, Nintendo Force, I’m not making that same mistake again.

Steam Greenlight: Finding the Gems

- September 11, 2012

  News, Steam

Greenlight, the community based approval portal for Steam, has launched, and within the first day, all hell broke loose. There were over 700 items to look at and vote/comment on, tons of youtube-worthy comments on the service, and a bunch of spam games popping up and quickly disappearing.

With all this going on, and tweaks being planned and pushed, discovery became a huge issue. But thanks to indie-devs on Twitter, we have been able to supplement our own findings with some promising games, and thought we would share away!

Binding of Isaac update coming May 28

- May 7, 2012

The Binding of Isaac was not a game that skimped on content. I haven’t sunk hours upon hours into it, but I logged a solid 5 or 6 hrs on Steam and am nowhere near the halfway point in terms of finding all the items, seeing all the rooms, unlocking the different characters, and beating all the bosses. However, that wasn’t enough for Edmund McMillen, and thus we have a massive update (50% more content!) coming later this month called, Wrath of the Lamb.
