Episode 54: VGA 2012

My readdiction to Diablo 3 continues. I've been squeezing in play time here and there when I can and am still having a blast with my Witch Doctor. Still haven't messed around with the Auction House though so maybe that'll be my next endeavor. Sadly, nothing new to talk about today so instead, here's a quick recap of the 2012 Video Game Awards

This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the VGAs and my favorite host, Samuel L. Jackson, was back manning the microphone. 

The crowning glory of the night, Game of the Year, went to The Walking Dead: The Game. To save time I'm just going to list some of the big categories and their winners:

Studio of the Year: Telltale Games

Best Xbox Game: Halo 4

Best PS3 Game: Journey

Best Wii/Wii U Game: New Super Mario Bros. U

Best PC Game: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Best Graphics: Halo 4

Best Independant Game: Journey

Best DLC: Dawnguard - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

There are several other categories listed at their website. Click here to check the full list of winners. 

There were also tons of World Premieres including The Last of Us, Dark Souls II, BioShock Infinite, Gears of War: Judgement, and South Park: The Stick of Truth. Click here to check out the full list of world premieres and their trailers.

And there you go, a nice breakdown of the great games that have come our way in 2012 and an awesome playlist of great things to come! Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 53: Ride the Dragon

Slowly but surely I've been playing more Diablo 3 and the more I play the more fun it gets. Haven't spent a lot of time working on crafting armor and weapons just yet but the gameplay is still a blast and the Witch Doctor has been very fun. Anywho, moving on to new stuff...

Far Cry 3 lands on Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This time around you and your friends get attacked by natives on a mysterious island and you must fight your way to escape. Online multiplayer lets you decide if you want to show mercy or punish the losing team with some twisted cut scenes.



Guardians Of Middle-Earth is downloadable on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. You'll play as your favorite characters from Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and battle it out in 5 on 5 combat.



The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dragonborn is the newest expansion for Skyrim on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. This expansion will take players back to Morrowind from Elder Scrolls IV: Morrowind with new quests and you can now RIDE DRAGONS!!



Power Rangers Samurai is a Kinect game for Xbox360 this week. You'll use motion controls to master the Kanji symbols like Fire, Earth, and Sky.



There is also a sizable list of games making the move to Wii U this week: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013, Rise of the Guardians, and Family Party 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade.

So there you have it. Still more games to come as the holidays creep closer and I'm guessing the DLC will explode around 1st of the new year but until next time, get out there and get your game on!
