Some may not know this; but I am a huge Lovecraftian whore. Tell me something is fused with some crazy unknown horror from another dimension or an elder god and I’ll buy it. No questions asked. It’s why to this very day I consider Silicon Knights Eternal Darkness a masterpiece. A masterpiece that will probably never see a sequel, or at least one that can live up to the original. It’s this love affair with horror that lead me to fall head over heels with a new iOS iPad title from a small developer named Red Wasp Designs . Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land mixes strategy and RPG elements to bring to life a very chilling tale set during World War One. This ain’t your Angry Birds folks, this is some seriously creepy mobile gaming.
It’s available right now for a measly $5.00 and will scratch that gaming horror itch for iPad users. I may dare to dream, but I hope that with the success of the title Red Wasp sees fit to bring to Android devices in the future as well. All portable gamers should get a chance at this title.

Imagine this: You enter a contest to win a sexy new PlayStation Vita and against all odds you win. You tell your friends and family the awesome news but then 2 weeks later get an email notifying you that you didn’t win a damn thing. A pretty crappy scenario right? Well, that is currently the exact situation many gamers who played the Taco Bell / PlayStation Vita contest are now finding themselves in.

Bio: Hello fellow gamers! I’m a 21 year old metalhead, photographer and gamer, based in the UK. Ever since I first laid hands on a family friend’s SEGA Megadrive (aged 2), I’ve had a love for gaming. My parents finally caved and bought me my own Megadrive, as a 5th birthday present. Nowadays, I am predominantly a PC gamer, but will never say no to a bit of nostalgia! You will find me on Steam most nights.
Favourite Gaming Snack Food: Whatever’s going, but I don’t like to gunk up my keyboard/mouse, so try not to mix up my passion for gaming with my passion for eating too often ;).

The beautiful MMO Aion is going ‘Truly Free’ this Spring in the US and EU. Aion will grant players access to all of the game’s new and existing content. NCSoft has not revealed how it will monetize the game’s content following this update, but odds are it will work a system similar to Guild Wars selling cosmetic equipment and inventory slots.
Want in the Guild Wars 2 Beta? Then get on over to the official site. You’ll need to download a small app which lets Arenanet get a look at what you’re working with (specs wise) and then fill out a small form. Here’s hoping they let us all in! Warning: Beta signup will only be up for 48hours.
Last night I was in the process of writing a huge blog about this, but had life interrupt my little rant. Let me start by saying I love Mass Effect. If Mass Effect were a woman, I would fight a bear riding a shark wielding a chainsaw to be with her; I love her that damn much. With that said, I have some real beef with BioWare’s decision on the leaked DLC. Which is spoilery and I won’t say what it is — specifically. The gist is that a character/ squadmate which plays a HUGE part in the Mass Effect universe is DLC in the Collector’s Edition or $10 bucks for anyone buying the standard edition.
