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 73: Bounty Hunters, Batman, and Bananas!
Good morning fellow gamers. Sadly I don't have any gaming to report back on. I had all intentions to play Bioshock 2 over the weekend and just never got around to it. Soon... very soon.
Anywho, let's look at what's new!
Resident Evil Revelations hits Xbox360, PS3, and Wii U this week. This one was originally made for the handhelds but has been expanded for consoles and takes place between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is up for download on Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and PC this week. It's the 4th in the series and you play as a bounty hunter chasing the likes of Billy The Kid and Jesse James.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D comes to 3DS this week. It was originally released on Wii back in 2010.
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has been out on other consoles but hits Wii U this week. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern help Batman and Robin defeat Lex Luthor and The Joker.
Fast & Furious Showdown comes to Xbox360, PS3, PC, Wii U, and 3DS this week. It's based on the movies and there's no trailer so we can only assume that like most video games based on movies, it probably sucks.
That's it for this week kids. Lots of new stuff to keep you gaming and more to come this summer. Until next week, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 72: Double Dose of FPS
Good morning gamers! Sadly, I don't have ANY gaming to report back on. Still plugging away on Bioshock 2 but haven't had time to play in a few weeks. Also, might have to pick up a copy of Defiance sometime soon as I'm LOVING the show on SyFy that syncs up with the game.
Anywho, on to the new...
Metro: Last Light is the only major release this week coming to Xbox360, PS3, and PC. This is a sequel to the 2010 Metro: 2033 and is similar in story to Fallout but as a FPS instead of a 3rd person RPG. You play as a nuclear holocaust survivor fighting mutants with homemade guns.
Uprising DLC is the only other big news this week. It's a map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on PS3. It's already out on Xbox360 so those users will get a Double XP Weekend to celebrate the release.
And there you have it, a badass new FPS and some new goodies for the massive Call of Duty franchise. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 71: DLG (Downloadable GAME)
Good morning fellow gamers. Again, sad to report I haven't had much time to game lately. I did get a few minutes in on Bioshock 2 but not much more than that.
Since there's not much to talk about in what's been played, let's look at what's coming up...
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a STAND-ALONE GAME available for download on Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and PC. You play as a bionic commando with a robotic arm and eye as you battle through a cyborg army in the aftermath of nuclear war. The game was announced on April 1st so many thought it was a prank!
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut lands on PS3 this week. It's a comedy themed survival horror game where you play an FBI agent in a small town investigating a series of brutal murders. This version includes DLC with an expanded story and new starting scenario.
Soul Sacrifice comes to Vita this week. You play as a slave trying to build his magical powers to defeat his master but each time you use magic you must sacrifice an item, a limb, or even A LIFE!
And that wraps it up for this week. Summer is approaching fast and the new releases should start rolling out more and more each week. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!

Episode 70: To Boldly Go Where No Game Has Gone Before
Good morning gamers! What's new? Sadly, work has been getting in the way of my gaming again lately. I've had a little time to play Bioshock 2 here and there but mostly all I've played is Tapped Out (a Simpsons game for smart phones and tablets). If you're playing Tapped Out feel free to add me as a friend (blando13).
Now, let's look at what's new out there...
Star Trek is the biggest release this week coming to Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. This game fills the gap between the 2009 movie and the upcoming sequel following the Vulcans trying to recreate their home world and accidentally opening a rift in space that allows aliens to come thru, attack them, and steal rift making device. The aliens are a reimagined version of the Gorn from the original Star Trek series.
The game is a co-op shooter with Kirk and Spock as playable characters. Kirk's a "run and gun" and Spock is more stealthy. The game is also voiced by the actors from the movies. Here's a video of William Shatner playing the game or click here to see several videos with THIRTY MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY VIDEO!
Dead Island Riptide hits Xbox360 and PS3. It's a zombie shooter that finds the survivors from Dead Island facing the now infected crew of the ship that rescued them.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is re-releasing on Xbox360 and PS3 this week. New features include 14 new characters, over 100 pieces of new gear, and new achievements.
And that about wraps it up for this week. A HUGE release, a big release, and a re-release to keep you gaming. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
