Sometimes a first person shooter is perfect for a lazy afternoon. You can sort of just turn off your brain and worry about not being shot in the back of the head. EA / Respawn’s Titanfall might not get a lot of play two years after its release but it is still a lot of fun.
This past afternoon I bolted myself into my mech and enjoyed a few rounds of Titanfall on Twitch.TV. Here’s a video recap of a couple matches – make note that I tend to die a lot.

The developers behind Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat have announced that their game will be a staggering 85% off today as part of their celebration of reaching a brand new server population record. Over 10,000 players recently connected to Insurgency to play the team vs team Deathmatch fting American Special Forces vs the titular Insurgents.
While the game has its roots in the real world conflict that defined the post 9/11 world of the mid-00s modders have been able to create new content for the game for quite some time. One such modification is the Wild West Theatre which adds brand new weapons like a double barreled shotgun and changes the names of the teams to Outlaws Vs. Lawmen.
Devs have officially promoted a live-stream of the Wild West Theatre alongside today’s flash sale. You can check it out in the embedded player below or by following this link to twitch.
Will you be joining the insurgency with this flash sale?

We’re back after a two week hiatus with a brand new format for BrokenCast. Instead of bouncing around between topics somewhat randomly we are going to pick a theme for each week and publish smaller episodes at regular intervals around these topics.
On Episode 4 of Broken Cast I’m joined by Andrea Ritsu and Dorian (@Bardings on Twitter) and we discuss the impact that Speed Runs and Twich.TV has had on E-Sports and the gaming industry as a whole. We also sit down and discuss Dorian’s brand new Twitch Channel, Team Changeling a unique space for Transgender people to come together and share their love of games.
So sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 4 – Twitchin’ Around At The Speed of Sound

This month’s PlayStation Plus offerings included the highly acclaimed Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championshop Edition so for this week’s live-stream we decided to take this Mexican wrestling inspired brawler for a bit of a spin.
Unlike last week’s live-stream this week features commentary by not only myself but occasional writer for Broken Joysticks Ben Longpre who last reviewed The Awakened Fate Paradox. We talk about the game’s mechanics, what other games we are playing and reminisce about the launch of the PlayStation.
Fair warning: I am pretty terrible at this game, so there is quite a bit of dying involved. I hope you enjoy the stream and look for more gameplay streams from Broken Joysticks.

Last night we ran a one hour live stream featuring more gameplay from Idea Factory International’s upcoming Omega Quintet for the PlayStation 4. The majority of this footage takes place during one of the character’s final tests to become a verse maiden, the in-universe idols / monster slayers.
We will be rendering our final verdict on Omega Quintet tomorrow evening when our written review goes live.
Depending on the viewership numbers for our archived live streams we may run more in the future.
Omega Quintet will be released both digitally and at physical retailers tomorrow.

Everyone might be talking about the impending release of the PlayStation 4 but Nintendo hasn’t forgotten their handheld’s devoted following with the announcement of a Nintendo Direct scheduled for tomorrow. Both Nintendo of America and Nintendo Europe will be simultaneously broadcasting this latest game focused showcase.
Some games that may be highlighted during tomorrow’s stream: Mario Gold 3DS, Bravely Default Fairy, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy and perhaps the upcoming Mario Kart 3DS. If Nintendo really wants to shake away some coverage from Microsoft and Sony’s upcoming console launches maybe they should throw in a brief teaser for Smash Bros for WiiU and 3DS.
You’ll be able to catch the Nintendo Direct through this link at 8 A.M PST!
