Let’s face it. I’m a gamer. I have a PC with two 4BG GTX 670′s in SLI. It’s got a liquid cooled CPU at 4.5Ghz and 16 gigs of RAM. I have every console of every generation going back to the SNES, plus an NES and an Atari 5200. I have more games than I [...]

Okay, not really, but I’m still thinking that calling the new, high-tech, all things to all people machine the ‘Xbox One’ is a little strange. I get the point. Like I said, it’s supposed to be all things to all people – the one and only machine you need in your living room. I get [...]

To be fair, plenty of you have already bought the game, and most of you have already beat it. That’s awesome. But what about the rest of you? There’s a reason the game has sat atop the charts for weeks – it’s because it’s amazing. It doesn’t even matter if you’ve played the other games [...]

This isn’t a review. Or even one of my famous first impressions. No. This is just me taking a moment to point out that the new Tomb Raider is pretty awesome. You should play it, and on PC if at all possible, where it looks downright gorgeous. If you’re a fan of the original games, [...]

See, this is why I’m so against requiring video games to have a persistent online connection. Also, I thought the above picture was hilariously appropriate. Good job EA! I love how they come up with excuses to try and hide the reasoning for requiring games to be online. For Sim City the idea was that [...]

Today’s release of Aliens: Colonial Marines, and in particular the across the board negative reviews it’s received, got me thinking about Gearbox Software, and not in a good way. Now I’m not a huge fan of Metacritic, but it says something when a licensed shooter by a company that’s made some pretty good shooters in [...]

Now that the PlayStation 4 is all set to become official (or so the rumors go) the gaming world can finally start to see the next gen take shape. It used to be that a new generation of hardware mostly meant a huge leap in raw computing power, leading to prettier graphics and more expansive [...]

By now it’s old news that TERA has gone free to play for anyone so inclined as of February 5th. I can tell you right now that at that price it’s absolutely worth it. TERA came out last year, and even when it first came out there were the subtle undertones of, “When will it [...]

I just now got around to watching this awesome documentary, Indie Game: The Movie. I enjoyed the movie so much that I feel the need to express to everyone how they need to see the movie. If you are on SlappersOnly and if you’re reading this – I’m going to go ahead and say that [...]

I read the news today that Bioshock Infinite has been delayed until early next year – February 26th, 2013 to be exact. While there was certainly a part of me that was disappointed, I have no reason not to have faith in the team behind the game. Irrational Games made one of the defining games [...]
