Episode 66: Third Time's The Charm

Good morning fellow gamers. Hopefully the cold weather has given you time to stay indoors and get gaming. Sadly, I've been so damned busy lately I haven't played much but I did get on World of Warcraft with my little brother recently and have thoroughly enjoyed playing my Pandaren Monk thus far.

But enough about me, let's talk about new!

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel hits Xbox360 and PS3 this week. This is the 3rd in the series and Salem and Rios take a backseat as Alpha and Bravo take the lead character roles. For those new to the series, these games focus heavily on 2 man cooperative play and maneuvers.



Bioshock Infinite comes to Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This time around you leave Rapture for the floating city of Columbia. You play as Detective Booker searching for Elizabeth, a woman with psychokinetic powers, who's caught between factions battling for control of the city.



Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 rolls out on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. Play against legends like Arnold Palmer or current stars like Tiger. The new Dynamic Weather Conditions feature uses The Weather Channel to portray accurate current weather on courses. There's also a new Legends of the Majors mode that lets you play courses as they were in the past... using equipment from that time period!



And that about wraps it up for this week. A great 2 man, an epic 1 player, and a great sports game. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 65: Battles, Brothers, and Boobies

Gaming has been very slow for me lately because I've been so damned busy! I did sneak in a few minutes of Arkham Asylum but am stuck at another spot. This time it's a puzzle and not a fight I'm stuck on so it'll be fun trying to solve instead of infuriating that I'm not stealthy enough, haha.

But enough about me, let's talk about NEW...

Gears of War: Judgement is your Xbox360 exclusive this week. It's the 4th in the series and is a prequel to the original trilogy. This time you play as Kilo Squad led by Baird and Cole. 2 new multiplayer modes and a "Smart Spawn System" that drops you closer or further from the fight depending on your level of play.



The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct comes to Xbox360, PS3, and Wii U this week. This is set before the TV series and you play as Merle and Daryl as they battle to survive.



The Croods: Prehistoric Party! hits Wii U, Wii, 3DS, and DS this week with the movie in theaters Friday. You can play 30 mini games with the Crood family members.



LEGO City Undercover drops on Wii U and 3DS this week. You play as detective Chase McClane and use disguises to stop the evil Rex Fury's crime wave.



Monster Hunter3 Ultimate comes to Wii U and 3DS this week. 200 quests await as you explore the Monster Hunter universe.



Dead or Alive 5 Plus is your Vita exclusive this week. It's a fighting game but the emphasis is on the physics and look of the girls and they gigantic boobies.



And that wraps it up for this week. A nice broad spectrum of games to choose from and plenty more to come as the summer months get closer. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 64: Return to Battle

Lately I've been busy moving my girlfriend in so I haven't had much time to game. I did get World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria installed and upgraded and started my Pandaren Monk which has been a ton of fun. Mostly just gaming on my phone with Tapped Out and Shipwrecked.

But enough about me, let's talk about some new games...

Sniper 2: Ghost Warrior comes to Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. Much like in the real world, you'll rely heavily on your spotter to help you account for wind speed, breathing rate, and more as you take down targets long range.



God of War: Ascension is exclusively on PS3 today. 7th game in the franchise and a prequel to the entire series. This is the first to include a multiplayer mode where you can earn rewards from the gods.



Only 2 new games coming this week but God of War is definitely one of the most anticipated in quite a while. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 63: Reboots & Sequels Galore!

Happy Tuesday fellow geeks! Haven't had a lot of time to game lately but I did get past the part in Arkham Asylum that I was stuck on and am now heading off to fight Poison Ivy. I've also found a great phone game called Tapped Out that is like a simplified Sims but featuring The Simpsons.

Now, on to the new games...

Tomb Raider comes to Xbox360, PS3, and PC today. This is the origin story of Lara Croft as she gets stranded on an island and must learn survival techniques while being hunted by mercenaries. This game marks 2 firsts for the series: a MATURE rating and a multiplayer mode.



Sim City lands on PC this week. It's the 6th version of the game where you will balance industry and green living among other aspects that will affect your city and its residents. This version also features a multiplayer mode where you can work with other cities to build "Great Works" like a space center or solar farm.



MLB 13: The Show is Sony's exclusive coming to PS3 and Vita. New features include a Beginner Mode, Franchise Mode with a big focus on your team's budget, and Postseason mode.



MLB 2K13 is the non-exclusive coming to Xbox360 and PS3. The big draw in this series is the Total Control Pitching and Hitting systems.



Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 hits Xbox360 and PS3 this week. The story mode is based on the most recent events of the anime series.



That wraps up the new releases but there's a few other big stories in the gaming world...

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was announced yesterday. It will hit stores Oct. 29th and you play as a pirate who is the main character from AC3's grandfather!



And that about wraps it up for this week. Plenty of new games and one to look forward to. Until next time get out there and get your game on!
