Rayman Origins 3DS Demo Now Available

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Have you been looking for a mobile platforming fix? Ubisoft has released a demo version of Rayman Origins on the 3DS E-Shop. This demo doesn’t skimp on the content either, offering prospective owners 3 full levels from the final game including Swinging Caves, Playing in the Shade and Shooting Me Softly. The console version of Origins was a critical success and regarded as one of the best Rayman games to date. The 3DS version expands upon what made last year’s console release so great with Street Pass functionality and in game collectables. The full version of Rayman Origins for the

Solid Snake Infiltrates Vita On June 12th

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

We already knew that the Metal Gear Solid Collection would be making the jump to Vita next month but now we have a more specific window. Solid Snake will make his debut on Sony’s next generation portable on June 15th according to Konami. The Vita version of Metal Gear Solid Collection will differ slightly from its console counterparts. For one it only includes Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 since Peace Walker can be purchased digital through the PSN already.  Konami has also implemented some touch based controls in both games, giving you the ability to zoom

Dead Island DLC Giveaway

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

I don’t know why, but Thursday’s mortify me. It is unquestionably the scariest day of the week. The spooky mood this morning has inspired me to give out something horror related. Alas, we don’t have any proper horror games. Instead, we’re going to shake things up a bit and give out DLCs. We have Steam, Xbox 360, and PS3 codes for Dead Island’s Bloodbath Arena and Ryder White DLCs. You will find these codes hidden in our articles, Twitter, Steam group, or Facebook page. Also, I should warn you know that the ghost of Archibald Yell is still occasionally haunting

Gears of War 3 Contest

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

We’ve decided to reboot our Gears of War 3 contest. In retrospect, starting such a contest in the first week of our existence was a bad call. Also, the requirements and the mountain of legalese were probably unhelpful. Here is the new setup for the contest. We’ll give away 3 copies of Gears of War 3 once we’ve reached 500 likes on Facebook. After that number has been reached, people will have a few days to enter our drawing via our Facebook page. We will, naturally, make an announcement on the site with further details when that occurs. The prizes

DustForce Giveaway

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

I don’t know about you, but I tend to procrastinate a lot. For instance, I’ve just started my spring cleaning. It probably won’t be finished until September. In honor of my cleaning efforts, we’re giving away copies of the indie game DustForce, where you play as a really acrobatic janitor. There are 50 perilous levels to clean up, so I guess this counts as a hardcore janitor simulator. You can find steam codes for the game in our articles, Steam group, Facebook, or Twitter.

THQ Puts Devil’s Third On Hold

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next from boob loving, finger choking Japanese game developer Tomonobu Itagaki has been put on hold  by publisher THQ. Devil’s Third was originally revealed in the summer of 2010 and since then very little information has been released about the game. We do know that it involved a storyline fusing Asian, American and European themes with a sci-fi twist. THQ has stated that the game will not come out during the first quarter of 2013, meaning that we will have to wait until after April 2013 before we’ll see the game on store shelves.

Arma 2: Combined Operations Contest Winners Announced

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

We brought in a member of Bohemia Interactive to pick the winners from Friday’s competition. Here is what operative “Korneel” had to say: I loved the effort and the answers. There were 4 which really caught my eye. Therefore, as a very special exception, I am giving you two extra A2:CO codes to distribute. My picks are: – Athanasios (Literally the only possible flaw in his plan is the fact that Jarmen Kell, due to his age, might not be flexible enough to imitate the look of a human stomach or a padded human sausage ;-)) – Fearpoint (The scarce-vodka-supply-rumour

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Bethesda Softworks has just announced a release date for Arkane Studios’ upcoming title Dishonored. Inhabitants of North America can pick up this up on October 9, 2012. Unfortunately, those souls who chose to be born outside of North America will have to wait until October 12th, 2012.
