Alan Wake Doubles Down on Steam

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Andrew Minott

Survival thriller Alan Wake is currently on Steam’s Midweek Madness deal, priced at $14.99 from its normal $29.99. This includes the game, which is quite good, and a bonus soundtrack, which ranges from moody background music to cheesy hair metal that will make you feel guilty about how many times you’ve listened to it. What? I’m not listening to it now. Promise. Also, May 22 was confirmed as the release date for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, the stand-alone DLC game that, while not a true sequel, exists to “broaden and expand the universe” of the series. Like the original XBLA

Sony Press Event – My Day With The Games

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Matthew Regier

I had the opportunity to go spend a day at a Sony press event where they were able to show off a bunch of upcoming games coming out for the Playstation 3 and Vita. Beforehand I only knew of a handful of titles that were going to be there, so when I arrived and found twice the amount of TVs I was expecting I have to admit I was pretty excited, especially for a couple of the titles that I will talk about in a bit. I’m going to discuss my time with the games and my initial opinions on

Cubixx HD Giveaway

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

We didn’t celebrate the anniversary of Sony’s founding yesterday (yesterday’s winners were announced by the way), so we’d like to wish a belated happy birthday to Sony.

First off, we’ll be giving away copies of Cubixx HD for the PS3. The codes for this PSN game may be found in articles on our site, or on twitter.

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Andrew Minott

Short answer: “yes.” Longer answer: “yes, why haven’t you done that yet?” Previously reported here at BrokenJoysticks.net, Indie Royale’s May Hurray Bundle is available for the next three days. You should buy it. The price fluctuates as it sells by increasing slightly if someone pays that minimum price and decreasing slightly if someone pays more than the minimum, and as of this writing the minimum is $5.29. I’ll run you through the five games in the bundle, so you can know precisely why you ought to spend a value meal’s worth of income to make your life better.

Mo-Cap Artist Pegs Playstation Battle Royale For a Fall Release

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Could Sucker Punch’s electrically charged everyman Cole Mcgrath be making an appearance in Playstation Battle Royale? Eric Ladin, the man behind Cole’s moves (read: his Mo-Cap artist) tweeted yesterday that he was in the studio performing as Cole, but not for an infamous title. Does this confirm Cole as part of the games line-up? Nothing is set in stone but it is possible that Cole Mcgrath will be added via DLC if he does not make the initial cut. On twitter Ladin wrote “Feels good to be back in the mo-cap suit! Before you ask … no, not inFamous.”. Also

May Hurray Bundle Giveaway

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

We were wondering about what to give away today. The Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation (today known as Sony) was founded on the seventh of May 7th 1946. Over 500 years prior to that auspicious occasion, Joan of Arc took an arrow to the shoulder. Instead of whining about it, Joan continued adventuring. In fact, she patched herself up and got back into the fight that very evening. Her forces would lift the siege of Orléans the following morning. We considered giving out games somewhat related to those events. However, Broken Joysticks won’t allow the distant past to dictate our actions

Gaming Unplugged At Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Andrew Minott

Brain-snacking zombies. Marauding orcs. ‘Wood-for-sheep’ jokes that we say are immature and stupid, but we giggle anyway. Gaming shenanigans aren’t just for these damn video games Featured on Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry YouTube channel, TableTop is Wil Wheaton’s bi-monthly show in which he gathers three nerd celebrities (nerdlebrities? [nope.]) to play board games, and Wil was nice enough to record the goings-on for everyone to see.

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

We’re no strangers to Good Old Games here at BrokenJoysticks. Not only do we use them for some of our PC centric reviews but also some of the codes given away work on their service. It is safe to say that GOG gets our seal of approval. The DRM free digital distribution platform recently added two classic stealth games with Thief Deadly Shadows and the original Splintercell to their library. On the modern front GOG added the indie RTS Anomaly: Warzone Earth which originally appeared on Ipad, Android and IOS back in 2010. You can get your grabby little hands
