April 30, 2013 Comments 46 notes telltale portal portal 2 sam & max the venture bros Ash Williams The Evil Dead ClapTrap Borderlands Borderlands 2 Mad Moxxi GLaDOS Brock Samson poker gaming review reviews
Telltale’s Poker Night 2 just recently became available for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360. Has anyone else gotten to dabble into it yet?  You play as a mute character, the other players like to tease and make fun of. The others? Brock Samson from The Venture Bros, Sam, from Sam & Max [Max is also there assisting Sam], Ash Williams from The Evil Dead and ClapTrap from the Borderlands series. The dealer is none other than GLaDOS from the Portal series, being her usual intimidating and insulting self. Mad Moxxi from the Borderlands series serves up drinks, but is ultimately silent the whole time. Buying the other characters in the game a drink, helps the likelihood of calling their bluffs or non-bluffs. Captain Reginald Van Winslow [Tales of Monkey Island] also makes an appearance as s casino chief. That’s a lot of characters to name drop, huh? The game has been ridiculously humorous and engaging. The game allows you to have chances of winning items like in-game card decks, tabletop designs and chips. You also, depending on which platform you are playing on, have chances to win Borderlands 2 content, XBOX avatar items, PS3 themes and Team Fortress 2 items on Steam. The game features two versions of poker, Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha Hold ‘Em. Party Banter goes a long way, but some jokes are repeated and does lose charm eventually.  An iOS version is also on it’s way, no date announced just yet. Score: 8/10. Fun, simple and hilarious. Jokes eventually get stale. By: ChelseaHeckaGaming

Quick Review: A4TECH G10-730H Gaming Mouse

December 11, 2012 Comments 4 notes gaming gear quick review review reviews

Let’s face it, finding an affordable competent gaming mouse can at times be tough. You could easily spend over $80 on getting a mouse that can stand the test of time but that’s a bit much for someone that just wants to casually play some Diablo III and Guild Wars 2 on weekends. So where does one look to for something that’s better than your bottom barrel $5 mouse and something that’s actually going to give you the performance you’re looking for; without breaking the bank that is.

Telltale’s adventure comes to an end.

Developer: Telltale
Publisher: Telltale
Platforms:  PS3/ Xbox 360/ PC

Suppose I were to tell you that The Walking Dead by Telltale Games was my Game of the Year, would you believe me? How could I possibly choose it over other titles from like Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Dishonored or even Halo 4? I can without any hesitation, say that Telltale’s The Walking Dead has been the only title out of the bunch which has stayed with me long after the credits ended.

Review: Skullcandy SLYR Headset

November 16, 2012 Comments 24 notes Skullcandy AstroGaming Halo 4 Xbox Xbox 360 Games SLYR Headphones Gaming review reviews

Skullcandy’s latest foray into gaming headphones leaves a sweet taste in our mouth

Developer: Skullcandy/Astro
Publisher: Skullcando/Astro
Platforms: PS3/ Xbox 360/ PC

Last year audio headphone maker Skullcandy purchased gaming audio darling Astro Gaming, makers of some of the highest quality audio headsets around. While Skullcandy has always had some rather delectable designs, on the actual quality and audio crispness front they’ve been a bit of a mixed bag. You’re likely to find a Skullcandy owner who’s had a pair of cans that have lasted them 2-3 years or just as likely to find someone who will trash the company for their pair lasting no more than 6 weeks. When it came to audio, they’re quality was always nice, but nothing to write home about and even more so when they decided to dip their toes into the gaming audio business a few years back.
