You won a Vita! No, wait - scratch that you got screwed
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.
Seriously BioWare?
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.
First Impressions: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning by all intentions should be brilliant. A rousing universe penned with 10,000 years of history by acclaimed fantasy author R.A. Salvatore, and a colorful world just begging to be experienced.
Gamers Daze: How Double Fine gave gamers a voice
This week developer Double Fine did something incredible, and no I’m not strictly speaking of raising over a million dollars in 2 days, although that’s pretty incredible on its own.
Gamers Daze: When gaming invaded Saturday morning
You may not know it, or chose to forget it but the 80s were a crazy time for video games.
Gamers Daze: What do you want from Resident Evil 6?
This year seems to be the year of Resident Evil. What with Revelations releasing next month, Operation Raccoon City in March and a new Resident Evil flick set to release later this year, Capcom is pushing the franchise harder than ever before.
The Best of the Rest 2011: Warhammer 40k SPACE MARINE
2011 had a slew of big titles and but no game delivered the bombastic balls to the wall uber action of Relic Entertainment’s Space Marine. You may not know that due to its relatively weak marketing but behind the generic looking cover art was an action game that brought the Warhammer franchise to consoles with all the force of a sizzling Thunder Hammer.
The Best of the Rest 2011: Shadows of the Damned
Shadows of the Damned is without a doubt the best game that no one played in 2011. If you love Resident Evil 4, then you missed out on its Tarantino and Evil Dead inspired bastard cousin.
The Best of the Rest 2011: Dungeon Siege III
2011 had some huge games, you already know that — hell odds are you’re slowly playing through one of them right now, and just about every other gaming blog out there is counting down their favorite heavy hitters of the year… but what about the rest?
The Big Games of 2011
2011 is pretty much a wrap and 2012 beacons with the promise of a Q1 that’s more stacked than Heidi Montag, and that’s saying a hell of a lot. 2012 holds the promise of The Last of Us, Halo 4, BioShock Infinite, Dragon’s Dogma, Metal Gear Rising and well the list goes on for big games coming in 2012 but let’s not forget 2011, which was a hell of a year for big games.
2011 saw Marcus Fenix and the rest of Delta finally bring an end to the Locust Horde, Issac Clarke encountered the horrors of the necromorphs once again, Ezio and Desmond continued their quest for the truth in Revelations and we all wandered through the beautiful tundra of Skyrim while meeting would be retired adventures who have taken an arrow to the knee. Those are just a few of the many great adventures in 2011. What were your gaming highlights of the year? Was it Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Gears 3, Modern Warfare 3? And what are you looking forward to in 2012, besides the end of the world of course. How can we possibly miss that?
Gamers Daze: Man VS Dark Souls or: How I learned to love to die
FROM SOFTWARE has always been known for developing some interesting titles; titles that always had fantastic ideas but at times not the greatest follow-through. It’s almost a bit of a wonder that FROM SOFTWARE hit it out of the park this generation with the cult hit Demon’s Souls on the PS3. A title that at first seemed to pass by everyone’s radar, well everyone but the most devoted of gamers looking for a Japanese fix.
Gamers Daze: Failure to Kinect
E3 is finally over and I can honestly say, it was one of the blandest E3’s in recent years.
