EX3D has created special 3D glasses tailored to the needs of gamers. That’s right, they’ve made glasses that will yell at people on Xbox Live on your behalf, so you can focus your energy on actually playing the game. The glasses come preloaded with over 100 insulting phrases, from classics like, “Your parent/guardian is so fat” to more modern riffs like, “You stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking...

I was getting tired of having to play the same handful of games over and over again just to get that nostalgic feel. I mean, what’s the deal video game industry? Why aren’t you filling this nostalgia niche? Why aren’t the familiar franchi...
Read More »Frost Wars: The Rise of Fatty Sparkles is coming to PC, Mac, and Linux. Yes, yes, the name gave me pause as well. The Frost Wars: The Rise of Fatty Sparkles trailer debuted August 23, giving players a look at the graphics and setting of this title. For me, the most infuriating part of the trailer was around the 12 second mark, when they didn’t use an Oxford comma in the trailer text. I mean really...
Read More »Foul Play is coming to Xbox Live Arcade to bring together the Victorian era, demon hunting, and side-scrolling brawler gameplay. Sounds like a pretty good mix, right? If you had to be a demon, I bet it would be better to live in the Victorian era than in any other time. Back then they could wear top hats and carry canes. But imagine having demon-duty in the 1980’s; it was probably nothing but span...

About half of the new launch trailer consists of corporate logos, but once you get past that you finally get to see some gameplay.

Philip Yun, CEO of Out...
Read More »A new original soundtrack for Halo 4 and a special edition remix album will be released on October 22. The soundtrack is from composer Neil Davidge while the remix album combines the works of DJ Skee, Sander Van Doorn, Apocalyptica, and Hundred Waters. I feel like at this point I could just make up any DJ name and no one would question it, so I’m going to go with DJ Snazzy Boots. Or should it be B...
Read More »A new trailer has been released for Red Johnson’s Chronicles 2 featuring the titular character in a standoff. It also features someone using the words “clink” and “private eye.” No word yet as to whether or not the title will feature other detective noir phrases such as “dame,” “classy broad,” or “wise guy.” The sequel to Lexis Numérique’s Red Johnson Chronicles is set to release on Xbox Live Arca...

They have partnered with Valve (yes, that Valve) to create a special series of accessories to launch with the latest installment in the Counter-Strike saga. The Counter-Strike:Global Offensive accoutrements include a headset covered in camouflague, a microphone, and most importantly, a volume and mute cont...
Read More »The Splatters is being developed for PC and Mac and will be available for purchase via Steam. The development team is looking to create a new version tailored to both the PC audience and PC capabilities. The game was a smashing (or splattering?) success on Xbox Live Arcade and garnered numerous awards. I believe the words “splatterific” and “splattastic” were thrown around. No release date has bee...
