December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I’m also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I’m looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I’m also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I’m stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I’m trying to keep my hype meter low for that
At its core, Surfing is a modification of an FPS’s slide mechanic. Instead of the game’s physics stopping a player from sliding after a certain distance, Surfing disables these physics to some degree. As a result, Surfing will have players strafe on surfaces at a much faster r
It can be incredibly tempting in battle royale games for players to try and kill everyone that they see, and this is especially true in Danger Zone . However, one potential problem with doing this is that a player may stumble upon an enemy that has better equipment than they
While Code Vein might seem to have the market cornered when it comes to anime-tinged Dark Souls knockoffs, that’s just not the case. People are going to keep making these things despite not really understanding why Dark Souls works so well. People are also going to keep putting cherubic anime girls in games because it prints mo
Unsurprisingly, when Surf Maps steadily became popular in CS:GO , other older Surf fans compared some prominent elements from the Source variation and the CS:GO variation. In terms of overall differences, it seems Surfing in Source is much smoother given more customizable options. In terms of specif
If there’s one thing that could make hearing slurs barked into your ear a little easier to swallow, it’s cute anime girls. Picture, then, a challenger to CS:GO and Siege ‘s throne. A bouncier, brighter, and more inviting challenger – but with all the brown and bloom you’ve come to know and l
Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it’s time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don’t end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I’m about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins’ Creed: Revelations . Desmond’s fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I’m fully committed to becoming a master assassin – as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I’ve also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November’s biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and www.Counterstrike2guide.com I’m going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 – and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren’t enough motivation, I’ve got a bet to
Costing only $1000, this package gives players a Bump Mine, ExoJump Boots, and a Parachute, all of which greatly improve their ability to travel around the map. The Bump Mine specifically makes it easier for a player to target an enemy by allowing them to jump great distances, which can be useful for catching them off guard . If a player can master the use of the mobility package, then they will be well on their way to the higher ranks in the game m
At its core, Surf Maps cater to a dedicated “mode” where players don’t shoot each other but instead “surf” around the map at ridiculous speeds. As a result, Surf Maps end up becoming a challenge of navigation and speed – something that proves more difficult than it seems. How exactly could players participate in Surf Maps, tho
By far the most common mistake that many new players make in Danger Zone is redeploying in heavily contested areas on the map. These are zones where several teams may be fighting at once, making it a dangerous area to redeploy i
I’ll definitely be playing Minecraft now that it has officially released, Rob and I will probably do a few more recording sessions with the game. I’ll also be attempting to play through Gears of War 3 on ‘Insane’ difficulty in order to get those exclusive ‘Impossible Mission’ sk
Ryona ambles alone down a dark alley. The shadows around her begin to shift and swirl, and from behind her emerges a cacophony of otherworldly cracking, oozing, and groaning. She turns on a dime, with only a kitchen utensil to defend herself , to be greeted with what can only be described as a sentient orifice with writhing limbs haphazardly connected to its bleeding torso. It twitches and seizes like nothing in nat
