Most Anticipated #2- The Last of Us

While I hope this one comes out this year, I’m pretty sure that The Last of Us will be delayed for developmental reasons. The story puts you in a post-apocalyptic setting where a rampant plague has decimated the United States and perhaps the world. Joel has survived for years doing whatever it took to keep [...]

Most Anticipated #3- Borderlands 2

96.5% more Wub Wub. That’s all I should need to say, but in the interest of Borderlands 2 making the top ten, I’m obligated by my own moral devices to add words. The original Borderlands took us to Pandora where we explored, looted the hell out of everything, and killed big things with big guns. [...]

Most Anticipated #4- Assassin’s Creed 3

The entire plot of this series revolves around the myth of the 2012 disaster, and because Ubisoft wanted to tell the story in five console games, we have this. Assassin’s Creed follows a plot point that lets you go into a person’s DNA to read the memories of their ancestors. Desmond, a bartender, holds in [...]

Most Anticipated #5- Hitman: Absolution

After playing the demo for Hitman: Blood Money, I was impressed with the level of effort you had to put into figuring out how to infiltrate a stronghold. It really gave me a taste for what it takes to be a professional assassin. My only gripe with the game is that the controls were a [...]

Most Anticipated #6- Dead or Alive 5

Among fighting games, I am no expert, nor do I have any extended interest in them unless I’m playing against someone. Things change as evidenced by my drooling over this game. The visuals are quite stunning with colorful backdrops and characters. The dubbing seems a little lame, but I can live with that as long [...]

Most Anticipated #19- Diablo III

May 7th, 2012

Gettuitt

Blizzard is back with one of its famed franchises, Diablo. And with Diablo III burning its way to the PC pretty soon, you get a sense that the heat is on! Set in Sanctuary, the evil has once again risen, and it’s up to you to choose your class and throw down with the minions of the underworld. Fire and brimstone are ready to rain down on the world, and Diablo III burns through on May 15, 2012!

Most Anticipated #20- Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

May 7th, 2012

Gettuitt

Last year at E3, the folks at Ubisoft said that all of their future Tom Clancy titles would feature some kind of Kinect compatibility. This, of course, begins with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. This title has been pushed back a fair amount, and it’s easy to see why. From being able to customize your weaponry with your motions/voice, to invisibility cloaks, and intense gunplay, Future Soldier is coming out with its guns blazing.

Most Anticipated #21- Port Royale 3

May 7th, 2012

Gettuitt

Trading, raiding, and naval conquest is your game as you gain experience and builds facilities throughout the islands. Take to building your empire on May 4th for the PC and September 7 for Xbox 360 and PS3!

Most Anticipated #22- Darksiders II

May 7th, 2012

Gettuitt

Death is knocking at your door! Well, not really, but the horseman is riding into stores in the sequel to a very popular. When a call is sent forth, the riders of the Apocalypes come out to play. War rose too early, bringing about the annihilation of the human race before its time. But War is determined to figure out who framed him and what this is all about.

Do Good, Not Evil

May 4th, 2012

Romes

People always tell you to do great things, to aspire to change the world but changing the world doesn’t always mean for the good. Change can be good and bad and its happening every day. Too many smart people are doing that already and just because their smart doesn’t mean they don’t see the consequences of their actions. And if you really want to cause social mayhem, it helps to have a degree. Everyone can be smart, motivated and creative. Everyone will tell you that you can change the world. They are right, but remember what I said above that “changing the world” also can include things like funneling money for bad people, running ponzi schemes and targeting obese kids and adults to sell your products.. I don’t need you to cure cancer…I just need you not to go around spreading it.

Food for thought.

My Top 5 Gaming Official Soundtracks

May 4th, 2012

Dan

DISCLAIMER: These picks are my opinions alone. Not yours, not Gabriel’s next door. Mine. So don’t bag on me if I don’t pick Duke Nukem Forever or something else you like. Accept that people have opinions.
PS: Holy shit this actually ported DIRECTLY from Blogger? DAAAYUM.

_________________________________________________________________________________

How I’ll be doing this: I’ll give two examples of songs from each game. I will then give my opinions and reasoning behind it. All song names will be clickable with a link to said song so If you’re curious go and listen. There’ll be 5 games and one special mention. This top 5 list contains NO SPOILERS so don’t worry about it. All these games were released in either 2011 or 2012 so if you’re looking for an old school list, I’m sure you’ll be able to find it somewhere else.

God of War: Ascension

May 3rd, 2012

Gettuitt

So, if you’re like me, a big sigh escaped your lips when you saw the teaser trailer for God of War: Ascension. Personally, I sighed and gave a hearty chuckle because I’m a jaded person. I’m so jaded because I know exactly what this is- wringing out the series for everything it’s worth. With fives console titles (two of those being HD remake collections) and two PSP titles, Kratos has been used again and again to make more money. It was obvious to me when the two PSP titles were released after God of War 2 and again after God of War 3. I’ve only played and conquered the main saga, so I take solace in knowing that I know the story.
