Age of Zombies is one of those kinds of games that started with Asteroids: shoot at enemies in swarming directions. Of course they’ve evolved since then, and Age of Zombies fits rather nicely into this niche. However, I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a good representation of the genre. Hit the link for more.
That’s right all you 20+ year-old Harry Potter fans out there, listen up.

The game is set to hit the stores in late May, so here’s a little bit about it to get you ready for it! +Continue Reading
The game will be missing its current release date of yesterday being pushed back to March 11th for an “unexpected” but not awesome delay. They believe that since the game has a current rating on the Kevin Bacon Awesomeness Meter of a 9500, the servers just couldn’t handle this awesomeness of awesome games. Not much of a delay though, you will be able to play this awesome game on March 11th for the price of $4.99. Also I think Kevin Bacon is a awesome name… awesome.

Sony showed ModNation Racers off last year at E3 and it was very well accepted. It was basically marketed as Little Big Planet the Cart Racer. Giving players the ability to create and share their own custom tracks over PSN. Now a PSP version will be hitting the shelves side by side with its big brother. Both games will also share content across the PSN. Meaning if you create a track on your PSP, you and your friends will be able to race and play that same level on your PS3. This sounds like a great idea and I might actually pick this up. I am in dire need of a reason to pick up my PSP again.
Update: Check out trailer below!

Good ol’ portable gaming. When has a portable system not been handy? Every incarnation of the GameBoy has gone with me everywhere. Christmas with the family, Thanksgiving with the family, long car rides, horrible shopping trips; my handheld has always kept me entertained. Yet, sometimes it’s hard to find a good game for it. Thus, I have decided to compile my own list of the upcoming DS and PSP games to watch out for. At least in my opinion that is, so hit the link to read on!
When the first game in the Persona series was released in 1996, western video-game fans had just begun accepting the basic tenants of the JRPG, and it was for this reason that the game was such a shock to the system. It flouted most of the conventions so present in the genre, and as such was both embraced by those seeking a change of pace, and dismissed by others too befuddled by the changes it made to the classic JRPG formula. Now, 13 years later, the game presents an experience that is as unique now as it was on its release.
Name: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Console: PSP & PSPgo (Exclusive)
Developed: Kojima Productions | Konami
Release: Worldwide in 2010
Announced in the wake of Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Peace Walker is the canonical sequel to PSP’s Portable Ops. It moves on four years from the events at the San Hieronymo Peninsula to 1974. Now more grizzly than ever, Big Boss is in Costa Rica as the head of a mercenary group called ‘Militaires Sans Frontières’. A French translation of ‘military without borders’. As Costa Rica had no military at the time, it was seen as easy pickings. An uknown military power takes over, and it’s up to Big Boss to save the day.
The PSP Go seems to have a lot going for it. Rumors were abound for it leading up to E3 where the Go was first announced along with its many new features. I for one am looking forward to the device but I’m stumped at some of the decisions made for it. Let’s take a look at five different reasons that’s holding the PSP Go back from being what it needs to be to capture the audience it’s reaching for. I want to also add that this is an opinion piece of mine and does not reflect the opinions of the other staff members.

Anyone that knows me, knows that from October to July I am engulfed in NBA basketball. This is no exception for video games. In celebration of the 2009 draft, this is a great topic. I have owned NBA live games dating back to NBA Live ‘95 for SNES (and I still have it!). Last year, EA shocked the sporting games world with the introduction of “dynamic DNA” to NBA live 2009. When I saw press conference and videos, I was sold immediately and bought the game on the day it was released. Dynamic DNA updated players statuses, injuries, trades, and playing habits onto your console after every single game, and every single press release. This was a giant and necessary step for sports games, but there are still a ton of problems that I hope to see (and have been vaguely assured by EA’s Marcus Stephenson) fixed in Live 2010. +Continue Reading
