Un-boxing the "Black Ops"

The Bastards manage to pull themselves away from the Black Ops to bring you another fun episode.

Wahoo, it's finally here! I got Call of Duty: Black Ops, but the only thing that sucks is my Xbox died before I got a chance to try it. It's a situation where it's "Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink." For your enjoyment, however, I present a video dealing with the un-boxing of the Prestige Edition.

Is The World God Only Knows pro-dating sim or anti-dating sim? On one side of the argument the anime's geeky protagonist has been chosen by some high-powered deity to save the world from runaway demonic spirits. The other side of the argument, however, has the protagonist using what he only knows from dating games; sometimes resulting in more harm than good. Nevertheless the series -- known in Japan as Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (神のみぞ知るセカイ) -- manages to give its viewers a nice dose of entertainment that's nothing short of funny.

The Bastards may not be traveling to L.A., but they've got Hollywood on their minds.

With the opening of a new LoveSac store at the Burlington Mall King Baby Duck, Anvil and I had a chance to check out the different couches & sacs to review their comfort levels. In short: this is how a couch should be!

It's tough these days to keep gamers on their toes. With new horror and psychological games coming out month after month it gets harder and harder to freak out players and stay original. Alan Wake took a simple approach: create a dark atmosphere, and make the scariest moments the ones players don't see. With that Alan Wake manages to be more than just a game; it's an edge-of-your-seat ride with more twists and turns than your average Twin Peaks episode.

Hell yeah, EA has brought back one of the most awesome Need For Speed games, and it's just awesome to be playing the series again. The demo version of Hot Pursuit is just to hard to put down, considering I've been playing it for the past 12 hours!

2010 has become the year of nostalgia gaming. Scott Pilgrim VS The World gave us the feel of classic beat-em ups; Xbox's Game Room had players construct their own personal arcades and compete with other players; and recent adaptations of Mega Man and Sonic The Hedgehog have decidedly gone back to their roots. Now Space Invaders has made its return, in the form of the evolved Infinity Gene. Hail to the arcade king, baby!
