Dear Irrational Games,   I loved your last game. BioShock Infinite was freaking awesome. I’m sure you’re aware of how much praise and love gamers now have for Booker, Elizabeth, and Columbia. And maybe it’s because I liked BioShock Infinite so much that I can’t abide one defining blemish.   I’m referring to the game’s redundant violence. Of course, BioShock Infinite is a shooter and action is impe ...

Dear Quantic Dream, We have not forgotten. A few months ago, you teased us with the story of Kara, the artificially intelligent android-sex-housewife-plaything. It was a tech demo, you said. Kara won’t be a game, you said. Kara wants to live, you monster! See what you did. I already care for her. Now, you have to make it. If I were you, Quantic Dream. I would set Kara up as your next big title. I have two l ...

As the name implies, FanimeCon (or Fanime) is the Bay Area's largest anime convention. But that doesn't limit the cosplay and fandom to the big-eyed, small mouthed characters typically seen in Japanese cartoons. With just as much personality and unique character design as anime characters, video game characters add a burst of color to the anime conventions. While not everyone is current with today's or yest ...

Dear Microsoft, Your new Xbox One has been announced. There are plenty of innovative and applaudable features. That said, there is legitimate beef to be had and things I would have done differently in its presentation. A week later after its release, the dust has settled and the Xbox One’s feats and fumbles are clear. Let’s talk about them. Microsoft, you did some things right. You presented technology that ...

Dear EA, I don’t know business. I’ve never developed a game – or had the bad luck of appealing to enraged consumers (I bet you know where this is going). However, I can say without a doubt that you, EA, could have done better.   What am I referring to? There’s a lot of things. Everyone knows there’s a lot of things. I don’t want to beat the bloodied horse that is EA's customer complaints. What I do wan ...

When Remember Me was announced last year, it seemed like a smart new franchise for Capcom, who was faltering with Resident Evil at the time. They needed something unique and captivating to win people over. So when we were introduced to Nilin, a memory hunter who is suffering from amnesia in the year 2084, it sounded like an awesome dystopian game (a theme we’ve seen in quite a few recent releases). Remember ...

The sequel to Metro 2033 is coming soon - this Tuesday, in fact, but it almost drowned when THQ went bankrupt. Luckily, it was sold to Deep Silver (the same folks who publish Dead Island) and they brought Metro: Last Light back to life. If the original is any indicator, the sequel might be worth checking out. Metro 2033 received generally favorable reviews and there’s no shortage of fun in post-apocalyptic ...

Set in the floating city of Utopia, where the residents get along regardless of race or job class (unlike those polarizing extremists living in the floating city of Columbia), Chillingo's Pixel People is a free to play iOS city building game. I personally started playing during lunch while waiting for the next piece of bad news from EA Games. The fact that I didn't need Internet connectivity to play the mai ...

While the story and visuals of BioShock Infinite can certainly be works of art, the box cover is anything but. It's a generic image of a male protagonist with a gun over his shoulder as he stares off into the distance. It's a safe cover design that appeals to the general gaming crowd, but fails to indicate the atmosphere of the game. Fortunately, Irrational Games has provided eight alternative covers for “B ...

Games That Hate You: “Aliens: Colonial Marines” While my sci-fi loving friends have loved Star Wars and Star Trek since childhood, my childhood sci-fi obsession was Aliens. I loved how the film visually benchmarked a lot of sci-fi military tropes, like badass space marines versus fearsome space aliens. But what I liked most about “Aliens” was how the film showed off the importance of never fucking around wi ...

BioShock Infinite: The Hype-ening In less than a month, BioShock Infinite will emerge from its provocative cloud of marketing and media hype. You’ve probably heard it coming. And if you haven’t, no need to worry. The noise will get much louder. Casting a shadow almost as big as its spiritual predecessor – the highest rated first person shooter of all time – the anticipation for BioShock Infinite is reaching ...

Girl Gamers: Stats Bringing up the gender divide in gaming is always prickly subject. It gets personal. Let us lay some definitions and some truth out about Girl Gamers. By Ghost Lily Gaming started as an all-boys-club and is often still viewed that way, but ample data points to the contrary – According to the results of the Entertainment Software Association's annual survey released at E3 this past year, 4 ...

Online Killed the Multiplayer Star There seems to be a trend in digital media these days.  We live in an age of rapid electronic communication, where you are more likely to converse with someone via text then you are face to face.  We tweet routine tasks like #pickingupdogcrapagain, as we instagram photos of our nightly meals.  We constantly check and update our Facebooks, and use Google whenever we need to ...

Halo 4 and Borderlands 2 Fail To Frag Black Ops 2 For fans of first person shooters, 2012 has been a busy year, with the release of Black Ops 2, Halo 4, and Borderlands 2. In the span of a few months, we have gone from dusty Pandora and its cast of crazy characters in Borderlands 2 to the lead-ridden cities of Black Ops 2 and, of course, back to the futuristic, alien worlds of Halo 4. I love all of these ga ...

While American Gamers spew obscenities, annoying noises, and even slurs in online gaming, UK Gamers seem to focus more on supportive communication, eloquent team play, and a more cooperative spirit. As the general stereotype goes, the world sees Americans as brash, crude and even rude. The Brits on the other hand seem to have the reputation as the standard for civility, and intelligence, even in war. Going ...

Xbox 360 Achievement and PSN Trophies Hello, I am Jiwe and I have a confession to make: I am an addict (to Xbox 360 Achievements). I let the addiction take control over part of my life. It forced me to do things I did not want to do. But today, I stand tall and proudly say "I am better now, I am in control now." I am Jewi and I am addicted to Xbox 360 achievements and PSN Trophies, but  soon I will be compl ...

Remember Me: Memory as a Weapon Memory is an integral part of the human psyche. From it, guidance may be derived for the path to follow based on previous experiences. Solace can be gleamed from evoking a happy event. Memory dictates to whom we are loyal and for whom we hold an enmity  It is the unassailable keep which makes up individuality. It is sacred, inviolate and deeply personal. At least until visiti ...

Dead Space 3 Veritas Examines The Co-Op Promise of Dead Space 3 Set to release on February 5 of next year, Visceral Games' Dead Space 3 comes with some interesting changes.

  I will be the first to confess that I often have used video games to escape, what I consider, my boring existence. The thought of exploring unknown lands and becoming a hero has captivated me since I was a child. Even as an adult, it fascinates me. To take the role of a protagonist you know is destined for greatness and help them achieve it gives you a sense of self accomplishment unlike any other. T ...

  Arguably among the best Xbox 360 shooter games in history, Halo is coming back in force. Fans of the series since the start cannot wait to once again play as the man, John-117, Master Chief. While there may be some hesitation as to the change at the helm, from Bungie to 343 Industries, the continuation of the series shows a well thought out depth. The first of a new trilogy, Halo 4 picks up a few yea ...

  You don’t have to be a retro gamer to recognize the mug of that smiling Italian plumber.  Mario has become the most recognizable name in video game history, selling his face on all sorts of video games (and board games – yes, there is an awful chess game as well) across varied game genres.  You would be hard pressed to find any dirt on him, especially if you were born after the 1990s and the decline ...

  Few games have garnered the rabid following that FromSoftware's Dark Souls enjoys. There are whole forums and YouTube channels dedicated to all aspects of the game. The lore, the near infinite builds, combat mechanics and improving the PVP aspect are topics frequently discussed. Such is the fervor that a massive petition rolled out asking for a PC port. The developers answered with a port and extra c ...

My son was born November 16, 2010. About a week before he came into the world, I stood in line at my local Wal-Mart for over an hour, feeling like I was going to explode, hoping he would wait just a couple more hours to make his grand entrance into the world just so I could get my hands on that shiny, cellophane-coated box containing Black Ops. Last year with the release of MW3, my husband and I dropped our ...

    by Dr Nikki Anyone who personally knows me KNOWS how much of a Call of Duty fanatic I am. I have over 212 hours logged in just on Modern Warfare 3 alone, not to mention all the previous COD games. It still shocks some people to find out that behind my gamertag lies an actual girl. Welp, excuse me–woman (I use the term loosely). I like to think I am pretty good. My record would show that, of co ...

  by Dr Nikki Girls don’t like things they can’t understand. (Especially shooter games for xbox 360, PS3 or PC) That’s why most girls don’t play video games. Anything past simple button combinations throws most girls, right off the bat. Now, I must say, when I first started playing first person shooter games for xbox 360 and PS3, all I could basically do was look at the ground, and throw grenades. That ...

    The date was October 31, 2006. I remember because I still have the receipt. I had previously gone to GameStop and purchased an Xbox Action Replay Kit. At the time it cost around forty dollars but it was worth it for what I had in mind. I was planning to hack my very first game console. I was fascinated by anything hacking, tweaking, modifying or reverse engineering. The first thing I ever hack ...

      I had a few months to go before my vacation out of the states and Battlefield 3 was right on schedule. Had Modern Warfare 3 been released earlier, I might not of even purchased the game. Battlefield 3 is the reason that I still haven’t played that Modern Warfare 3. I wanted a game that was going to keep me busy until the day of my flight and so Battlefield 3 came parachuting to the resc ...

Assassins Creed 3: For Better or Worse Ubisoft’s Assassins Creed series seems to be like the marmite of video games, you either love it or you hate it.

So far the preview videos have shown for some exciting game play moments, but will it be enough ...

Halo 4 Master Chief is back! When it comes to icons on the Xbox 360 there is one guy that probably comes to most gamers’ minds, and that guy is John-117 better known as Master Chief. Halo really kicked the Xbox off when it was first released, and each release has been met with great excitement from the fans. Halo 3 was a fitting end to that part of the Halo story, and Halo 4 is going to be the start of some ...

As of late I've noticed a growing trend. It is a trend that makes me suspicious and skeptical at the same time. A trend that may ruin my beloved experience with Xbox 360 shooter games. I'm sitting in front of my TV, weapon selected, timer is counting down, and my waypoints are clearly marked on the map. My squad leader is calmly and effectively communicating our strategy. Focused now, readying for the sprin ...
