The Outlaw's Least Favorite Game Moments: Isabella from Dragon Age 2

OMG SPOILERS AND JUNK!Wow. The more I write about Dragon Age the more I think I might secretly hate it. I mean... I think I like it, but I don't think I've actually typed one positive sentence about the series. Maybe I'm just insane. But I do stand by my claims that all of the problems I have with the games deserve to be mentioned. Seeing as I've spanked Dragon Age 1's ass a couple of times I guess it's DA2's turn. This time, it's all about Isabella. That gypsy-pirate woman who likes boats.For those of you who don't know, this is a boat.Don't me wrong. I don't really HATE the character. Mostly just what they do with her. So the woman lost an...

Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Again?

Look, I have never been a Duke Nukem fanboy even though 3D was pretty great. But the more and more I see of Forever the more excited I get. It looks pretty fantastic. I have no need to remind the internet of the running joke that it has been delayed a ridiculous number of times... but it has been delayed a ridiculous number of times. Then Gearbox happened and blah blah blah. Point is, it finally had a real, tangible release date. Excuse me... had.YOU CHEEKY FUCKERS!Yup, it happened. While I honestly think they'll stick to this one, I still have that Deja vu feeling. OH WELL 3DS SO...

Suprise!! Castelvania Reverie DLC Downloadable on PS3

Those of us who were shocked (and frankly, really confused) with the end of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow have been looking forward to this DLC hoping it will answer some of the questions we all have about the ending of Konami's newest installment to the Castlevania franchise. Well, normally I would say that you are just going to have to wait until March 30th when the DLC was scheduled to release. Well, Konami pulled a fast one on us by releasing the PS3 version of the DLC this morning! Whoo! Konami claims that the XBOX360 version will be released soon, so I hope that means it will be released by at least the 30th. We'll see. Until then, have...

Jack Thompson. He's back. He means business. He's as crazy as ever.

It's kind of the "cool thing to do if you are a video game blogger" to make fun of 'ol Jackie boy at every chance possible; and who am I to go against whats cool? Several days ago  (March 18) our favorite video game bashing crazy man Jack Thompson, sent Valve a come-to-Jesus talk letter over a mod created for Half Life called School Shooter: North American Tour 2012. The letter involved all manner of ridiculous speculation and hilarious commentary, as well as a rather vague hinting at the horrible hell Thompson would reign down upon Valve. Sorta....

The Outlaw's Favorite Game Moments: Waggleton P. Tallylicker

Remember back when I gave Bulletstorm a 10 because it is amazing? Sure, I went on and on about the amazing weapons and gameplay, but the final selling point was definitely the humor. Some might find it juvenile, but that's only if you have a big ol' stick up your ass. So what happens when they decided to combine one of the best weapons ever with one of the funniest moments I have ever seen? Waggleton... that's what fucking happens. Oh, and if you're wondering who Waggleton is... he's a giant robotic dinosaur of death. You use him to do this.*sniff*But we must look beyond the humor to see what is really going on. In reality, this is a beautiful...

The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: Animal Crossing

Hey guys n’ gals. First and foremost I want to apologize for being so out of touch lately. Chris was sick, and he is without Internet(ish). I have been traveling and school-ing, and we just haven't found the time to get back into the swing of the blog thing. We do promise to come back with vigor now that Spring Break is over. Since, our friend The Outlaw was sickly (he has been infected with Uruboros, but since his Outlaw like white blood cells are also drunk and awesome, they have been fighting it off as best they can, giving Chris only mild fluish symptoms). We decided to just skip last week. So now we shall begin anew! Hope everyone...

Batman: Arkham City Gameplay Trailer

If the blog had existed in 2009, I probably would have given Arkham Asylum my game of the year. Sure, it would have been excruciating to choose between it and Uncharted 2, but I'm kind of a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series. Seeing as AA brought back my favorite Batman, Kevin Conroy, and my favorite Joker, Mark Hamill, it already had a tight grasp on my attention. Then you add perfect atmosphere, great back-up villains, some of the most fluid combat I've ever seen, plus other things to the mix, and you have something I would just have to write love songs to. I don't know how many I've written to different bottles of Jameson. Anyway, medium...

Good evening, dearest readers of the best gaming blog in the galaxy! I’ve been given the chance by The Outlaw Himself to write a review for Dragon Age II, and, well, who could turn down such an offer? Exactly. I mean, Jesus could, maybe, though He wouldn’t want to. I’ve asked....

We Dare (JESUS NOOOO!)

Nintendo how far you have fallen…do you remember the days when you were THE giant of the video game industry, had a respectable consul and numerous titles that defined gaming as a whole. Well my dear Nintendo developers We Dare is defiantly not a step in the right direction. (More like a leap off the empire state building) However, it is unfair of me to mercilessly shred this helpless title before even explaining it so I shall… with a heavy heart and drooping spirit attempt to report on Nintendo grotesque, inbred, ginger stepchild of a game. So “We Dare” is by definition a slightly erotic wii party game…yes you heard me correct....

The Outlaw's Least Favorite Game Moments: Actually Fighting Dragons In Dragon Age

Despite this being my second article over least favorite moments involving Dragon Age: Origins (or just Dragon Age for people who aren't dumb), I actually really liked the first one. However, seeing as I'm playing the (awesome) sequel, I thought it would be appropriate to write my feature over the original. Then I realized I was up for a least favorite. Thus, DA gets the shit end of the sick. I'm sorry Bioware. I really do love it. Now it's time to put on your careful helmets children. Thar may be spoilarz ahead.Anyway, when I say "fighting dragons" I don't mean the littlen's. I don't even mean their mid-size cousins. I'm talking about those...

Bulletstorm Review

The second I saw the first trailer for Bulletstorm I thought to myself, "wow, this looks different." And how could I not. With a majority of shooters taking a realistic (and frankly, an increasingly boring) approach, it was nice to see something different. But, could it live up to my expectations? The simple answer is YES! DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN YES!The game puts you in the boots of a rogue assassin named Grayson. He and his band of soldiers used to work for a general in charge of a government known as the Confederacy. Once they find out that they have been used to kill civilians, they decide to leave and cause trouble whenever they can. When the...
