Stupid Rebelious Hippies, Shut Up
By Zeratul256 at 07/03/2009 - 1:48am

 

You stupid whiners, you couldn't just accept that Valve wanted to spew out Left 4 Dead 2. A great new game that's every bit of awesome as the first one. Well good for you, you sacks of snot, you got your damn downloadable content coming to ya; and a playable demo of Left 4 Dead 2.

 

"Whether that announcement of new... something for Left 4 Dead will placate the masses feeling slighted by the impending arrival of Left 4 Dead 2 we don't know. But Valve's Doug Lombardi tells CVG that someday, somehow this whole process of shipping two games within a year's time will all make sense when viewed from the mount of the grander scheme."

"Lombardi also teases more Left 4 Dead 2 related announcements, presumably a doling out of details about new Special Infected types, new weapons and new campaigns. Oh, and there will be a L4D2 demo, apparently, giving you the opportunity to go hands-on with that frying pan before November."

 

So stop yo bitchin', sit back, and wait for the zombie invasion.

Meridian4 5th Anniversary Sale On Steam
By FoxSpellCaster at 06/29/2009 - 10:41am

 

50% off of an entire library of games is nothing to laugh at. Though when it includes Meridian4's library of mediocre games it can cause you to cringe. While the deal is good and includes a lot of games, a few of which are really worth it.

 

Happy 5th Anniversary, Meridian4! In celebration, save 50% on all games and packs from the publisher, including Shadowgrounds Survivor and the Meridian4 Complete Pack, until July 6th.

 

The Complete Pack, includes games such as; Alpha Prime, Gumboy, Larva Mortus, Obulis, Pacific Storm, Penguins Arena, RIP, Shadowgrounds, Space Trader, Tank Universal, and Vigil. I personally know that 3 of those games are more than worth the deal price, too bad Trine isn't out yet.


Sad Month For The Entertainment Industry
By Zeratul256 at 06/28/2009 - 3:37pm

 

It's been a sad month for the entertainment industry. Four major celebrities have passed away just this week starting with Ed McMahon, followed by Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson two days later, and Billy Mays passed away this morning; Also David Carradine earlier this month. Most of these celebrities aren't video game related, with the exception of one - Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. This is a little tribute to the great men and women who entertained us for years.

Controversial Games: The Honorable Mentions
By Enna_Eillek at 06/22/2009 - 6:50pm

 

As I stood behind a family of four making a purchase at a local second-hand video game shop, I quietly watched the mother wait her turn in line. Her youngest son waved a small case wildly at her waist. He mumbled to her, “Red riding hood, Red riding hood.” Thankful that her son had finally found a game, she smoothed his hair down and took a look at his game. In less than a second she told him to pick a different game. She put the game down on the counter and walked back to the DS section with her son. Out of curiosity as to what could have been so horrible about a game with Little Red Riding Hood, I noticed she wasn’t so little anymore, and was barbequing zombies.

 
I had to wonder what else was out there that was slipping through the fingers of universal morality. The first internet search I did turn up a variety of violent and/or sexual games. Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, and Custer’s Revenge were on almost every list generated. After reviewing at least ten lists, each by unique authors, I had found a pattern. Some controversial titles managed to make only one list, while *****’s I was already aware of had made none at all.
 
 I figured it was time to give credit where it was deserved. This is my ‘Top Five Most Unaccredited, but Still Very Controversial Games’ list.
 
5. The Guy Game – A game filled with scantily-clad females, who will take off their tops when you win! Drinking game fully-integrated as well! Last I checked, you have to be 21 to drink, yet a 17-year-old can buy this game (and drink lemonade instead, of course).
 
4. Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball – I would let this title slip past if it were simply beautiful, international women playing volleyball in their less-than-dental-floss bikinis. Unfortunately, at night it’s a whole other ball game, or lack thereof. You spend the day talking to some of the girls, and the evenings wooing them with gifts and promises of massages.
 
3. Baby Shaker – Speaks for itself.
 

 

 

 

2. Leisure Suit Larry: Magnum Cum Laude – A well known game about our favorite sex-crazed Larry attempting to hook up with his college’s most prestigious sororities girls. This game sets a bad example for up and coming (pun intended) college students that should be placing their focuses on studies.

 

1. Viva Piñata – Although it is cute and cuddly on the outside; inside, this game is filled with many controversial concepts, most of which, publishers would not otherwise touch. Aside from reproduction occurring from the ‘Romance Dance’ performed by your piñata residents, your garden does not operate on the same plane of reality or morality. In Viva Piñata, brothers, sisters, moms, or dads can perform the reproduction ritual together, piñata are excited to eat the remains of their beaten to death neighbors or even family, and you can beat any of your piñatas to a pulp in order to sell their SOUL candy for chocolate coins. Rated E for Everyone.

 
From a person that has played most of the games listed, none are hate-worthy. Keep in mind that they are only games, developed and designed for our virtual entertainment. Everyone has their own choice for personal enjoyment. Some people are amused by Nick at Night reruns. Some are entertained by shooting zombies as they run wildly in their direction. In some really tough cases, it takes dead-baby jokes.

Monday Time Waster - Magic Pen 2
By FoxSpellCaster at 06/22/2009 - 2:19pm

 

Addicting Games has many addicting games and Magic Pen 2 is one of them. While you might think you are playing Crayon Physics at first you will soon realize the games old on a few things in common. Magic Pen 2 is a in and out flash game for the casual player with only blowing away some time in mind. While the flash interface works well enough you will find it frustrating after a while as the accuracy is not pin point. If you enjoy physics game you have to play this game!

Empire: Total War

I often take full advantage of sales on Steam. Add to the fact Saigo also owns this game from when it came out and I had an excuse to buy it. Maybe excuse isn’t the correct word, but now I own it. I find myself surprised at how much better it runs them the demo, which is the reason I didn’t buy it before.

 

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Finding yourself playing Oblivion is like finding yourself gazing up at the sky. It happens at certain points in your life and you are struck in awe when it happens. Okay Oblivion isn’t that amazing, but it is awesome you can keep coming back to it. Yet another sale on Steam inspired this second purchase of Oblivion. That and Call of Cthulhu.

 

Valkyria Chronicles

Sega, thank you for putting out something that is worth a damn. This game has me in a grip I cannot get out of. The art, strategy, different gameplay, voices, and much more keeps this at my current number one must play.


Video Games Out Of Reach?
By Lelyse at 06/16/2009 - 9:09pm

 

Can you imagine not having fairly easy access to video games, new or used, whenever you felt like playing? Even someone like myself that didn't grow up as a gamer with any kind of console in the household still knows that if my younger brother or myself had actually asked for one, we would have eventually gotten it. Maybe for Christmas, like how we finally got an Xbox when it first came out.

 

Pixel Equity is a new non-profit organization that, simply put, provides children in youth centers with access to video games and consoles when they might not otherwise have this experience available to them. Their newly launched website gives you the option to donate money towards a game or console that a child has asked for, donating a specific game that is on a kid's wish list, or just donating any game that you're done playing.

 

As with trading these items in to a game store in exchange for credit, anything donated should be in decent playable condition. Check out their website and the write up that Kotaku did as well from the links at the bottom; take time to read the About and Why sections of Pixel Equity's site, and if you happen to glance around your room while you're reading and notice some games you haven't played in awhile, think about spending a little time on what I consider to be a pretty worthy cause.

 

Pixel Equity also has a Twitter feed, @PixelEquity, and a Facebook group.

Geeky Fun: Less PewPew more QQ
By Enna_Eillek at 06/16/2009 - 7:05pm

 

           Unfortunately, I have not had access to gaming equipment lately. I haven’t even had access to my
 computer to play Warcraft 3 or Team Fortress 2 (and trust me I have been getting plenty of crap about it).
 This lack of technology has kept me creative. I had to start searching for games that are still games, but a little
 less video.
 
            Here are a few things I found for you to keep a look out for:
 
            Warcraft the Board game – Think Risk except with fun, Human and Orc-Shaped pieces. Instead of
 fighting over who gets Australia, you’ll be battling wits for Northrend. What’s better than arguing the politics
 of WWI? Answer: Arguing the lore of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Although, you may want to have
 Google readily available. Not yet released.
 
            Monopoly: Nintendo Edition - I’m sure at first you think this is the same as Monopoly. Perhaps,
 like wrapping six hours of frustration and accusations of cheating in a shiny gold wrapper. Wrong! Well, sort
 of. Instead of Chance, you collect a coin…which could mean anything from inheriting a castle (that the
 princess is not in, no doubt) or renewing your kart license. I call Koopa Shell! Available now!
 
            Warhammer: Fantasy Role-play – So, I found out about this great game when I was QQ’ing to
 my friend, Janet, about missing all my role play games. She brought me to a World of Darkness tabletop role
 play game of hers. While there, completely spacing in boredom, I discovered a dusty book on the shelf with
 the label ‘Warhammer’ on it. Due to my excitement, they put their game on pause to start a game of
 Warhammer. Everyone said it was so “Retro” it’d be fun, whatever they mean by that. I mean, I just started
 playing Warhammer last year when it rivaled Blizzard for top MMORPG (and lost). Anyway, it’s a lot of fun
 for any gamer that likes to be creative and roll dice. Available now! According to Wiki, since…1986??
 
            Street Fighter 2 Arcade Edition – Basically, this one is AWESOME if you don’t mind dumping in
 quarters. Just don’t let those kids at Tilt bully you! One pretended he was great at the game and bet 2
 quarters that he could beat me. He looked lonely more than anything, so, I took the bet. He continued to put
 quarters on the machine indicating that he wanted to bet again that he might be able to win this time. Like a
 pro, I whooped his butt with Chun-Li. He was getting better and better, losing less life each time. Finally, he
 dropped a ten-dollar bill on the machine because he was sure he could beat me. Well… he “Perfected” me in
 about 4 seconds flat. Twice in a row. Available in Arcades since 1991. I bet that kid has been playing
 people since he was BORN!
 
            The Marines – So, apparently, you can join the military? You get to be shipped to an actual desert,
 where you can shoot at actual people, IRL. The bad news? No shields, no extra lives, no health packs, no
 ammo conveniently lying around, no rocket launchers placed oddly in the center of the battlefield, people are
 shooting real bullets at you, grenades aren’t strategically placed in pairs in random places, no invisibility… you get the idea. Available now at a recruiting office near you!
 
            So yeah! This is what you can do if you lose all your gaming electronics in a nasty break-up!
 Although, I must say, PC + Internet = MUCH better.
