So I picked this up at the local used game store for $5. I played a lot of the Duke games back in the PS1 days. Had Total Meltdown, Time to Kill and Zero Hour. They were fun in that period but that stupid, douchebag humor doesn't really work today. Sure I laughed at some of the stuff in the game but it's more of a 'you actually said that?' way. The game itself when it comes to the shooting and...

So this had to be said by me on here somewhere I think. I work a shitty overnight Bakery job that in short, makes we want to blow my brains out. Luckily I have this amazing podcast to listen to and laugh at, on a Zune no less. Ironic right? I laugh every time they shit talk it but really Zune HD isn't so bad. I came to this site a few years back for the community, before CBS bought them and nev...

Recently there was talk of what some believe is a new direction for Dark Souls 2. This is all because of the director saying he wants to make it more approachable and understandable. I don't think it is anything to get really crazy about because the original developer or maybe the creator, one of the two, is going to be overseeing the project. I could also see where they could make it more unde...

So in short, I came across a post on Playfire about ME3 with a link to a ton of FB posts from 30+ morons, mostly women (no offense), commenting on Mass Effect 3's FB page on random posts like: that guy that went and killed all those kids liked this game you fuckers, stop these violent games corrupting our kids or my favorite, this is just some sick promotion for the game. Yeah a year old game b...

Wait are you fucking kidding me? So when I was first playing this near the start of the game I was looking at the map and it had all these places like Helm's Deep and Bay of Belfalas and Im thinking fucking sweet! This game is gonna at least be decently long and you'll go all over the place!' since there is like 15 locations though a couple might be challenge missions but still itll be awesome....

Ok so got to the last section of the siege where you have to defeat the trolls before they break the door well I failed. After I failed it showed be for a brief moment where I couldnt do anything and faded to red and said failed. It did this a couple more times and I couldnt pause or anything so I quit out via PS button and restarted. I get back in at the start of the siege but there are no ene...

In recent years it seems many games have incorporated some version of a 'Horde' mode, a wave based game mode that gained a lot of attention I believe mostly due to it's inclusion in Gears of War 2. The list of games is long. Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3, Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The list goes on. One feature that is used but seldom so is the 'New Game +'. Probably remembered mostly...

I love how they added a little jab at the age old theory of 'why couldnt an eagle just carry Frodo to Mount Doom?' into this that just made my day.

Finally got to play the beta today, I had tried earlier last month to try to get my free Plus trial but I guess PSN doesnt want my card on there so had to wait til now to get it. I don't like that there is no tutorial as I was kinda clueless as to what is going on. I played Warhawk but this is kind of different. I like the gameplay alot and the build on the go thing is really cool. I guess I'll...

Finally got this in the mail been playing for a while and I love it. I bet the coop is really good on this hopefully it doesnt have that awful limited splitscreen like other couch-coop games.
