The trailer for Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture was released by The Chinese Room today (check it out here) and I have been sucked into another reason to buy a PlayStation 4.  The story is set in a post-apocalypse nightmare that looks like it will have some twisted surprises.  This is a studio known for survival horror, so I’m expecting long nights of adrenaline after the August 11 release. The website for the game is fill

While in a call with investors, Blake Jorgensen, EA’s CFO confirmed a new Battlefield game coming next year. "What we've said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, obviously, it's Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it's another Battlefield title.” The last game in the franchise was Battlefield Hardline released in March of t

Life is Strange got a new installment, Episode 4: Darkroom.  I haven’t had a chance to play it yet  as it just came out today but have been giddily rewatching the trailer.  It isn’t often that I see a game like this, an episodic interactive graphic adventure, that I actually want to play through but the story has me intrigued.  Add time travel to about anything and I’m probably going to play or watch it.

Hey gamers, I saw this story on reddit and I’m asking you to join in helping. The Heart of Gaming started by rescuing arcade cabinets from closing venues in London.  Located in North Acton, the community lovingly calls it 'HoG’ and it is considered the last dedicated video game arcade in London.  This is a place bringing gamers together.  Fellow gamers, this gamer run business was broken into and burglari

The trailer for the fourth episode of Life is Strange was released today (view it here) and things are getting dark.  Not that bathroom murders and creepers drugging under age girls wasn’t dark, but as Max gets closer to finding out what happened to Rachel Amber, the storm from her nightmare nears.  Somehow, we don’t think this is your typical tornado.  Episode 4 - Dark Room will be available for download on July 2

Leoric, The Skeleton King, from the Diablo franchise will be the next hero added to Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm.  The trailer they released is a little cheeky, check it out. From the Heroes of the Storm Wiki: Leoric is a slow moving front-line warrior that never truly dies, haunting the battlefield as a ghost before reforming on the field.

Atlus and Vanillaware have announced Odin Sphere: Leiftrasir, an HD remake they claim will be very different from a typical remaster.  This new game will still be a 2d side scroller but there will be new bosses and evolved gameplay along with the usual graphics updates.  It also looks like there is a ‘Classic Mode’.  The trailer is in Japanese, but well worth the watch. Odin Sphere: Leiftrasir will be out next Januar

Hi Gamers! Recently, Jordan and I moved into a new house without roommates.  It is kind of strange having a quiet house where the only messes are our own.  We are determined to make our house somewhere my parents will visit and lets be real, I want them to be impressed.  To me, it is about the little touches, details, that make all the difference.  Right out of college, when I was cardboard box furniture poor, I learned tha

This weekend is ridiculously hot.  The kind of hot that I just don’t want to be a good Oregonian and go hiking or biking or anything that involves the outside.  We instead opt to lay in front of the air conditioning and play video games.  The Evolution Championship Series (Evo for short) in Las Vegas is happening this weekend and we are in the mood for some fighting games.  Maybe it is also the heat.  I might get a

A new indie sidescoller was released on Steam yesterday and I am really feeling the heat to get my desktop working.  Anyone who has seen my game collection will tell you - I <3 sidescrollers.  Luckslinger touts itself as “one half [sic] inspired by the unrealistically fast gunslingers, the dark gritty humor and the greed driven anti-heroes of the spaghetti western classics. On the other half it’s inspired by vinyl digging

Has the demo returned!? Origin has popped up a trial mode for Dragon Age Inquisition allowing you to download the game, play unlimited multiplayer and have access to 6 hours playthrough of the single-player campaign. Oh I hope this will set a trend, we need demos, not pre-orders, but... that is for another deeper topic to talk about. So essentially the Dragonslayer DLC Multiplayer, with weekend events, for free? Six hours of the single-p

Hey Gamers, This is a pretty personal post for me and I think a lot of us out there.  The world lost a huge influence the other day, Satoru Iwata, the CEO of Nintendo, and many of us are reeling from the news.  He believed in gaming together and that the joy of playing is what makes a great game.  All over the world, gamers are in mourning.  Including this one. When Iwata started as CEO, I was graduating high school.&nbs

Growing up, I thought to be or date a gamer girl was simply socially unacceptable.  In direct opposition to what the stereotype of the response to gamer girls claims, all I got was “friend-zoned”.  In high school, I wanted to date and specifically wanted to date a gamer so that I wouldn’t have to worry about all of the traditional date night rigamarole - the nails, the hair, the small talk, the stress of coming up with

I recently had the opportunity to experience the hype of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt firsthand, and take an in-depth look into its vast expanse of gameplay, its massive open world and its breath-taking story. The Witcher 3 once again follows Geralt, this time on his quest to destroy the Wild Hunt, a group of spectres that remind me of the four horsemen of the apocalypse (they are even referred to as the “Red Riders”). As well as t

Darkest Dungeon is an early access game which has made a splash in the dungeon crawlers. Darkest Dungeon is introducing its latest patch July 15th bringing a new class, the Houndmaster, new features, integrations and constant ongoing balances. After the July update, the next stop for us will be the Cove, a completely new dungeon with it’s own bosses, monsters, curios, traps, and obstacles! If things weren’t salty enough, get
