If you’ve been checking the site lately you can tell that it hasn’t been updated for a while. We just haven’t had time to write for it. It’s a shame, it was a lot of fun, but this is the end. Pete and I have had fun and hope you guys enjoyed it too. Take care and be awesome to each other.
Last night was the VGAs were on SpikeTV and streamed live online. I did not watch it, I’ll be honest. What I did watch though, was GameTrailers.com to see all the new stuff being shown off, and there was a lot. We got a couple new IPs shown off, some old series being brought back and some great looking sequels After the jump I’ll highlight my favorites and give you a link to see them. Continue reading
So, Wired put out an article Wednesday night after an interview with Miyamoto. In it they said that Miyamoto was going to be stepping down from Nintendo to focus on teaching younger developers. Today, everyone has grabbed this story and have mourned the stepping down of one of gamings greatest geniuses. Well, that’d be all and good if Nintendo didn’t issue a statement first thing this morning refuting the interview. You can see their statement to Reuters here. It’s been available all day, but people continue to report on it. It’s actually pretty disappointing. Well, you heard it here, Miyamoto is still sticking with Nintendo.
Man, yesterday was quite a day for gamers on iOS. Microsoft released an Xbox Live client for iOS that lets you see your friends online, check achievements and modify your avatar. It’s lacking some cooler features like notifications, which would be cool for when your friends set beacons. The other big release was Batman Arkham City Lockdown. It’s an Infinity Blade-esque game, but with Batman. It looks awesome and has cool tie-ins to the main title that game out in October. It’s 5.99 and I’ll be buying it this afternoon to try out. If you an iOS device I definitely recommend navigating to the app store and picking both apps up.
Update: I just found out that OnLive, the cloud based console title streaming service also released an iPad version yesterday. The app is free and then you purchase games to play through their online store. I may have to check this out as well tonight and let you all know how it goes.
Full disclosure here guy, I work in a retail store. So over the past few weeks, while people have been getting the jump on their holiday shopping and flooding into malls to take advantage of deals, I have been entrenched, holding my ground and dutifully taking care of that business.What that leaves me with is not a lot of energy or time for playing games – a major problem for a person who writes for a video game review site. It has however made me more appreciative of one of my overlooked gaming devices, the iPhone 4S.
Two and a half months ago I made a promise to review the Nyko Kinect Zoom lens. Finally, it happens. This little add-on for the Kinect is supposed to let you get up to 40% closer to your Kinect while playing. For someone with a small apartment like myself. So, is this little guy worth the 30 bucks? Lets run the numbers! Continue reading
So… it’s almost been a month since either Pete or I have posted on here. No podcasts, no quick blurbs and we are sorry for this. But things will be getting back to normal very soon. For the last three months I have been overwhelmed with a job search. It’s been a tough, arduous process full of paperwork and interviews. But today I have finally accepted an offer at a new company. It’s exciting and should provide me with more time to dedicate to the site.
The other day I was made aware that captchas were not showing up for comments and so people could not leave any comments for us. This made me a sad panda, and I set to work fixing it. It is not fixed, captchas show up and you can leave comments. If you register, you won’t have to worry about captchas anymore either. Thanks for bearing with us, and let the comments flow!
