This used to be a dead time of the year for game releases. We’d have a couple that just missed the Christmas window releasing in January and then nothing until the end of the first quarter. Medieval Engineers — Early Access — From the Space Engineers company only more grounded. It’s sounds like it’s still …

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Impressions
I briefly touched on the fact that Shadow is a fun, compelling game. There are bugs and flaws, but he total experience rises so far above them that they seem inconsequential. The game realizes its goal of making you feel part of an epic adventure and tied in to the saga of the rings. So …

Rocket League Announced for PS4
I’ve mentioned before that Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars for the PS3 was one of the surprise PSN hits for my family. It’s certainly one of the games that got the most hours last generation. In essence, it was soccer played with RC cars that could jump, boost and blow each other up. Well, I’m ecstatic …

Instant Update: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor (PC)
In short, I can’t stop playing. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a fun, compelling game. It thrusts you behind enemy lines with a wicked skill set that just keeps growing.

Instant Update: Injustice Gods Among Us
I picked up Injustice: Gods Among Us (PS4) on a PSN sale recently. I’m definitely more in the Capcom/Street Fighter camp than the Mortal Kombat camp, but I’ve enjoyed them as a diversion. I also enjoy superhero games. There are far too few good ones. I haven’t had much time to play, but I did …

Gamers are Different

Newsblurb: Frozen Endzone is now Frozen Cortex
Call it Frozen Cortex. Apparently the developers were tired of the ‘Frendzone’ jokes and the confusion about the game simulating American Football. The robot players and randomly generated field weren’t enough to distinguish it from Madden. Or maybe the NFL isn’t as universal as we Americans like to think it is. Regardless, anything from the …
