I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we here at NA love conventions. Sadly, some conventions like Gamescom are a bit out of our reach… and our price range. Even if you couldn’t attend yesterday’s Dragon Age and Mass Effect 3 Q+A session, the nice folks at Bioware were cool enough to record everything for us
Apparently it is video day here at NAHQ and I'm sharing yet another new video game trailer posted today, by Bioware this time. If you don't want ANY spoilers (a-la Scott) then I recommend not watching this at all, otherwise…
While wandering the streets we happened to run into the 2011 Comic-Con zombie walk which was as confusing for them as it was for us. Honestly, there was something incredibly gratifying about stabbing a fake-zombie with my fake omni-blade. Check out the video below.
Comic Con is full of crazy events that seemingly pop up out of the blue. If you’re a Mass Effect fan in San Diego be sure to stop by the Gasp Lamp Hilton around 6:00 on Saturday to “march” with lead producer Casey Hudson on the convention center.
We talk about an awesome thing Bioware is doing for www.crabcatindustries.com, as well as GI Joe casting and the huge relaunch at DC in September. We review the fantastic game Trenched, the less fantastic Duke Nukem, Red Faction: Armageddon and…
Casey Hudson just let the cat out of the bag. The Mass Effect movie (which was in development limbo) will indeed be represented at this year’s Comic Con in San Diego. The problem, it appears as though the panel will more than likely take place in the dreaded Hall-H. In recent years Hall-H has become nearly impossible to step foot in due to die-hard fans (Twilight/etc) camping out overnight in order to see their favorite stars. Here is what we know so far.
I love video games, but some modern gaming trends just drive me crazy. While playing and reviewing Duke Nukem, I decided to write up a short list of some of the problems with modern video games. To clarify, I didn’t write this list to “SLAM” game makers, but to shine a spot-light on some of the major (and trendy) design flaws in modern video games. Enjoy!
A veritable cornucopia of movie, con, tabletop and video game deliciousness. Rated NA 24
Derek stops by to discuss how guns "feel" in video games, and how narrative shapes entertainment experiences. Rated NA 21
The writing is on the wall. It’s time to just have this happen. I’m talking Mass Effect and Dead Space cross-promotion.
Bioware has some great stuff in their store. This weekend using the super secret code you see below, you can get 20% off your entire purchase. It is my belief that Bioware is purging the old product in order to make room for the new.
