Episode 62: Get Dirty

Happy Tuesday fellow gamers. My regular gaming has slowed down some but I have finished building my first house in Skyrim: Hearthfire and have done about half of the decorating I want to get done. At some point I'll look into adopting a kid or two then get back to finishing the Stormcloak quest line and figure out which expansion I want to invest in next. I'm thinking Dragonborn. I also found a fun new Android game based on The Simpsons called Tapped Out. It's basically The Sims but set in Springfield with Simpsons characters... AND IT'S FREE!

Now, let's look at some new games...

MUD lands on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. It's the official game of FIM Motocross World Championship and let's you race on exact replicas of circuit tracks from around the world.



Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus silently comes to Vita this week. If you are new to the Ninja Gaiden series (or like me and can't beat the first level) you'll be able to turn on Hero Mode to help you thru the tough parts! There's also a Ninja Race mode where you try to combo thru the level as quickly as possible.



And that about wraps it up for the new stuff. If you missed the big news, Playstation 4 has been announced. As of now it's called Orbis and not much is set in stone thus far but a built in camera and a touchpad on the controller have been announced and several other specs and launch games.

Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 61:Enhanced Heroes

My gaming schedule is FINALLY back where I like it. My girlfriend has gotten rehooked on Skyrim and by watching I've gotten back into it myself. We both downloaded the Hearthfire expansion and have built houses which has been a blast. Also been playing a good bit of Diablo 3 (made my way to Hell difficulty now) and World of Warcraft and even ordered Mists of Pandaria over the weekend!

Anyway, enough about me. What's new with you?

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance comes to Xbox360 and PS3 this week. You play as a cyborg ninja named Raiden against the military group, Desperado Enterprises. This is the 9th in the series and features a new "cutting system" where you can slow down and slice up your enemy with precision cuts from your sword.



Crysis 3 hits Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This time you'll take on the Seven Wonders inside an urban rainforest within Liberty Dome as The Prophet in the year 2047.



And that's it for new stuff this week. Although it's only 2 releases, both are from very successful franchises and look like a freakin BLAST! 2012 had some great games and 2013 is shaping up to be a nice follow up year.

Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 60: Aliens vs. Gangsters

I made it through Nightmare on Diablo 3 over the weekend! Haven't dived into Hell just yet but that will come soon. My girlfriend is back addicted to Skyrim and has been playing her ass off lately. Eventually we may get around to grabbing some of the DLC but there's still plenty of stuff for both of us to do in the original story lines.

Now, on to the new stuff...

Aliens: Colonial Marines lands on Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This is a video game sequel to the movie Aliens and if you pre-ordered you'll receive Ripley's flamethrower and a chance to play as one of the Marines from the movie!



Omerta: City of Gangsters comes to Xbox360 and PC. This is a strategy game where you are an immigrant working his way up the criminal ladder in 1920s Atlantic City during the Prohibition Era.



Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 and  Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed also hit this week on the 3DS.

And that wraps it up for the new stuff. Slow trickle on the new games until Summer gets closer and hopefully me and my brother will have time to get on World of Warcraft together in the near future so I can get my WoW fix.

Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 59: The Returns

My gaming schedule has been a little sparse still. Still stuck in the same spot on Arkham Asylum and haven't had my laptop with me to play Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft but my girlfriend has been getting back into Skyrim so that should give me plenty of time for PC gaming here soon.

Now, let's look at what's new this week...

Dead Space 3 lands on Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This is the first time in the series where you can play the campaign online with a friend. You play as Isaac Clarke and John Carver as they try to find the source of the Necromorphs (reanimated humans).



Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 comes to Xbox360 and Wii U this week. It's based on a Japanese manga cartoon and you basically rip through each levels nonstop enemies WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!



Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time hits Vita and PS3 this week. 4th in the series and 1st in EIGHT YEARS. Sly and a friend are trying to find the pages of their ancient Thieves book, Thievius Raccoonus.



Fire Emblem: Awakening makes its way to 3DS this week. This is the 11th game in the series and features an upgraded "Avatar" system where you can create and design your character.



Lots of great sequels to keep your gaming going strong and plenty of great games to come as the year rolls on. This weekend I'll be getting into Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft as much as possible and maybe a few other things.

Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
