Endless Space is dangerously close to being a great game. Fans of the 4X strategy genre will find plenty to love here, but some questionable mechanics will keep the game from seeing much mainstream success.
Borderlands 2 is officially finished. That means that, while the game is being looked over for certification, the guys from Gearbox can get to work on some other things, namely post launch efforts.
I’m finally starting to kick my addiction to Diablo III, which means it’s prime time for Torchlight II to come steal me away. Runic Games released an infographic showing just how much more is waiting for us in the highly anticipated sequel, and I’m a bit intimidated to be honest. You can check it out below, but it’s borderline obscene. 5773 items? Don’t they know that I have work to do? I better start saving up some sick days.
We finally made it. With 24 hours left, this is the last day of the Steam Summer Sale, and will more than likely be as cheap as you’ll see these game go for quite a while. Even if a game isn’t a daily deal today, it’s probably worth picking it up at its standard discount, just keep that in mind.
What if I told you that the only time Morpheus really said that line was in the South Park episode? It’s true, he never actually says it during the movies. It’s just like in Star Wars, Vader never said “Luke, I am your father.” But that’s enough random movie trivia for the day; let’s get on to video games.
Ok guys, just a few more days left. We can do this. We just need to stick together. Valve can’t get to us if we just stick together. Don’t make eye contact with the PC, and no sudden movements. There’s only three more days of sales, we can out last them. What’s that? Red Orchestra is 75% of?....Clever girl…
I’m sure you’ve heard about Fifty Shades of Gray by now. The book is an international bestseller and just topped 50 million copies sold, further proof that reading alone isn’t a sign that someone is an intellectual.
So it's come to this. Look at that picture, Valve. This is your doing! That child is now on the streets panhandling because he can’t live up the insanely high expectations you’ve placed for him. How can you live with yourself? I hope that when you fall asleep on top of your massive piles of money tonight the face of this brave young man haunts you enough that you can’t eat your second bowl of caviar. God speed, random blond haired kid I found on the internet.
QuakeCon is right around the corner, and it’s not too late to register for the event. If the idea of being involved with world’s largest LAN party isn’t enough to get you excited, the list of special presentations released today should be enough to get you moving. When the convention kicks off on August 2nd in Dallas, Tx, gamers will be able to get their grubby little hands on both Doom 3 BFG Edition and Dishonored at the Bethesda booth. Dishonored was one of the most talked about games at this year’s E3, and it really should be on everyone’s radar at this point. It simply looks fantastic.
Sure, there's no legal way to sell a kidney, but are you going to let a simple thing like that stop you from gaming nirvana? That extra 80 grand you could pull in by getting rid of a duplicate organ could easily fund you for the next two or three steam sales, and when you're recovering from surgery you'll actually have time to play all the games you buy. There's really no downside to this arrangement. I'm not a doctor, so I'm not qualified to give out medical advice, but it does seem like a bit of a no brainer (no kidneyer? no? nevermind) to me. Just something to think about...
