One of the most-talked about FPS games coming out this year is Brink, a game that combines the technical shooter aspects of Call of Duty: Black Ops, puts it into a futuristic world of revolution and adds a little parkour action a la Mirror’s Edge. From what I played at PAX East yesterday it’s appears that the folks at Bethesda and Splash Damage are on the verge of revolutionizing the entire shooting genre.
Finding those little-known titles that have the chance to make it into the hearts of gamers and critics alike is one of the many great things about going to a video game convention. Today I came across one such game: Autumn Games' Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine, a racer that is bound to bring smiles and giggles on all three consoles.
King Baby Duck and ESH's Pandalicious sit down with one of the funniest folk comedy duos that sing about fighting nuns and pirates: Paul and Storm!
I've been a follower of the Duke Nukem franchise since its 2D, orange-skined days, and the news of Duke Nukem Forever finally reaching our gaming consoles sounds too good to be true. Lo and behold, Duke is here and in the CGI flesh. Has it been worth the thirteen-year wait? In two words: FUCK YES!!!
After spending 90 minutes getting our passes, finding the lanyards and scoping the press room NinJaSistah, Pandalicious and I have finally setting into the recent colonization of PAX East: the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. The lines are long, the funk is red & ripe and the games are in full effect. Also there is a giant inflatable Pikachu in the air. I am in my world!!!
The Bastards bring you another fun-filled episode that is sure to turn your frown upside-down.
Donkey Kong Country remains as one of the best video games ever released by Nintendo. From its addictive gameplay to its (at the time) stellar 3D graphics the adventures of Donkey & Diddy made it impossible to not go back and play it all over again. Near the end of last year Nintendo partnered up with Retro Studios, the same folks that brought us the immortal Metroid Prime series, and together created Donkey Kong Country Returns. Needless to say this was a homecoming celebrated all throughout the world.
Rants and raves galore fill today's episode of the Boston Bastard Brigade, including a call-to-arms for the return of a beloved sports game series.
With Penny Arcade Expo East coming up in just two weeks, lots of hot anticipation as to what to expect this year is engulfing my brain cells. With a long list of exciting developers on hand this year there are huge reasons why you should pay close attention to one of the best gaming conventions to come around our dirty waters.
