In a little bit of news that has the geekier side of the internet smiling, the .gif file format turns 30 today, June 15th, 2017. Yep, the same file format that beings you all those horribly annoying 1 second long looping animations on every buzzfeed top 10 list, the file format that no one wants […]
The Metro games have quite the cult following among fans of the post-apocalyptic genre. While Fallout is the most prominent example of the genre, there are many, many different game series that use similar settings: the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series being my personal favorites. There is a very similar yet still unique series, though, based off a […]
This is one of those games that, while it certainly isn’t enough to make me go out and buy a Playstation 4 (hell, I couldn’t be bothered to buy a Playstation 3 even with all the Killzone releases on the system), this is one of those games that I just kind of hate is exclusive. […]
Last night I made a post about an issue I discovered while begging the article-storm that is my coverage of the more interesting announcements of E3: The fact that a main blog sharing tool I use, Triberr, has a 14 post per week import limit, and the storm of 8 articles over 2 days pushed […]
So, I was planning to spend the past day, and the next few days cranking out everything I could stand to on E3 and the announcements – as you could see, I was off to a good start then took a break. There’s a reason for that beyond just needing a big of rest… I […]
A few months ago, Nintendo successfully took down on copyright grounds a fan-made Metroid 2 remake: this led to rumors that Nintendo was working on their own re-release of Metroid 2, and it looks like this is, basically, it: It follows the same general gameplay of classic Metroid, seems to have many elements similar to […]
Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite excited for Destiny 2, but this trailer was somewhat lacking. It shows a bit more of the upcoming story, but we all know this is all footage we will see in the first 10 minutes of the game! Looks like the Cabal are really laying siege to the City, […]
I absolutely loved the original State of Decay when I played it on the Xbox One in late 2015 or so – while it was originally a 360 title, the Xbox One version contained all the expansion content and was a nice, physical collection – convenient, to say the least. It was the first game […]
Right, time to start covering all of the game news. Get ready, we’re in for one hell of a ride, and I thought I would start with some of the most oddly expected yet also seemingly loved and hated news that GameFreak, the actual development studio behind the core Pokemon games, has stated at E3 […]
The major element of E3 is the games. Last year, I only covered a few major games and let the rest come and go as it was. This year, I plan on covering many many more games, over the next week or so – easily probably 20 different games are certainly worth me at least […]
A somewhat minor announcement from Microsoft yesterday that has me quite excited is that later in 2017 games from the original Xbox library will be playable on the Xbox One as an extension of backwards compatibility! The original Xbox had a relatively short life – from late 2001, till 2005 and the release of the […]
Yesterday, during their E3 conference, Microsoft finally have a name, a price, and a release time to their long anticipated “Scorpio” project: Xbox One X. While yes, as always you can make some jokes about the name, the fact remains the console, spec wise, looks absolutely amazing. What we have advertised is: Dolby Atmos Sound, […]
Just because I’m “not excited for E3” doesn’t mean the news presented at the event doesn’t excite me! It certainly does, and had you read that previous article carefully you would have seen the point is the information, not the event itself – the event is archaic, but the news shared isn’t. No, I’m Not […]
Well, somehow, I did it: I reviewed all 15 episodes, plus two “pilot” episodes of what would become Season 1 of “The Angry Video Game Nerd” . I’m sure some of you are thinking “Wow, he’s really scraping for content if he is reviewing the whole season after reviewing the whole season” but this has […]
On June 6th, 2017, Steam closed down its “Greenlight” feature, where game developers could, for a small fee, submit a game for voting in the community to determine if it should be published on Steam or not. While seemingly a good idea to begin with, Greenlight quickly became the doorway for a flood of overall […]
