Episode 76: Tough Road Ahead

Good morning gamers! I FINALLY broke my gaming drought wide open over the past few weeks. I took off a few days over the past few weeks so I was able to finish up Bioshock 2 which was excellent. I think I liked the original a little better but the 2nd had a great ending and I can't wait to dive into Bioshock Infinite. For now I'm all over the new Tomb Raider which has been very fun thus far. Challenging puzzles and some fast paced action scenes mixed in to keep it exciting.

Now, let's see what's coming down the warp pipe...

Deadpool hits Xbox360, PS3 and PC this week. For those who don't know, Deadpool is an anti-hero from the Marvel Universe who regularly breaks the "4th Wall" and has just as many snappy comments as deadly moves. With his advanced healing you can reattach lost limbs or simply regrow them. Wolverine, Psylocke, Rogue, Domino, and Cable all make appearances. From the trailer it reminds me of Saints Row 3 in a way.



Ride to Hell: Retribution rolls out on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. You'll play as a Vietnam Veteran who's out for revenge on the biker gang that murdered your brother. This one's set in the 1960's. The trailer has a very "Grindhouse" type of feel which I hope translates to the gameplay.



LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey comes to 3DS and Vita this week. You play as Laval, a lion tribe warrior, as you explore the world of Chima where 8 animal tribes battle for control of a resource called Chi. Trailer looks like a pretty straight forward LEGO game.



Company of Heroes 2 is your PC only for the week. It's a WWII strategy game where you play as the Soviet Red Army as you try to save Mother Russia from the Nazis. This one is a real-time strategy game.



And that wraps it up for this week. Tomb Raider will be eating most of my gaming time for now but I've got quite a few lined up that I want to check out so I've got my work cut out for me. I haven't said much on the Xbox One or PS4 but on first look, I'm thinking I may finally jump ship and go Playstation with this generation but now that Microsoft has changed most of the things I hated it could go either way.

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

Episode 75: Remember the Legendary Heroes

Good morning gamers! I ALMOST played some Bioshock 2 this past weekend but ended up taking a nap instead. Damn I miss gaming. Soon... soon.

Anywho, here's what's new:

Marvel Heroes is a FREE MMO for the PC. You start with Daredevil, Storm, Thing, Scarlet Witch, and Hawkeye as playable characters. You can also unlock Spider-Man, Wolverine, and members of The Avengers by playing or you can pay to unlock them faster.



Remember Me comes to Xbox360 and PS3 this week. You play as a memory hunter in the year 2084 when a person's memories can be digitized and sold on the black market. Your character is being hunted but her memory was erased so she doesn't know why.



Skyrim: Legendary Edition is also out this week. It includes the full game, the Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn expansions, and new features like mounted combat and a Legendary difficulty.

And that about does it for this week. I'll be on the road all weekend so no gaming again this week but I will get a controller in my hands SOON! Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
