News::Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon leaked footage shows dino robot action!

How's your day going so far? Is it dull and mundane? Not enough dino robots in your cereal? Well let me fix that for you. Today, I bring you an interesting leaked footage from the highly anticipated; highly quirky; highly retro fueled title, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. And...holy dino balls! I warn you though, it's slightly spoilerific but the 'not really let's just watch this' kind.

News::Corsual Let's Play: God Mode with EXP

Corsual's EXP writes: "Are cooperative shooters making a comeback? It seems they might be - there's more and more of them appearing these days; where once they used to be a staple addition to most single-player games, now, with the rise of smaller, cheaper games on Steam, XBL and PSN, it seems that the world of cooperative shooters is about to get a boost. God Mode is one of these games; lacking all elements of a story bar the premise (you're dead, and you've just arrived in Hades' Underworld, and must fight your way out), this game puts teams of 4 players against waves of undead enemies in a series of gauntlet-themed 'mazes'."

James Dewitt, Thunderbolt writes: In another instance of companies behaving badly, Peter Moore recently wrote about how EA can do better in an effort to stem the tide of negative publicity the company has receivedmost recently in regards to winning the title of Worst Company in America by The Consumerist and recent fubars like the debut of SimCity. This isnt the first time EA has been voted the best of the worst in the same poll against oft-vilified companies such as Bank of America. With the ball in EAs court, it was time to speak out and admit mistakes while outlining a plan to deal with themwhich Moore did not do.

News::Attack of the Clones Vlambeer Still Aren't Flattered

Not too recently Vlambeer had huge success with their iOS game Ridiculous Fishing. It was a game that nearly never got released thanks to the demoralising effect that having your work copied and profited from will have. Its happened again. The next release from the Dutch indies, Luftrausers, has had exactly the same treatment.

News::Game Debate to the Death! What series needs to just die?

In a recent debate, Dtoid user ctrain had a very good point. For a Web series that's been running for seven years with the name "Game Debate to the Death" we've certainly seen a lot of debates, but not so many deaths. There have been least favorite debates, survival of the fittest tournaments based on Street Fighter characters, and plenty of other brutal gauntlets, but this time let's make an all out sacrificial offering to the game industry gods. First, let's take a look at the results from the last debate:



  • BioShock: 60 votes -- Winner!

  • BioShock Infinite: 30 votes

  • BioShock 2: 10 votes


Go ahead and unleash your repressed rage and let's spill some blood. Pick a game series that needs to forcibly be ended and dish out all the polygonal pain and pixel punishment that it deserves! There are no rules; if you can't honestly think of a candidate then be creative! Tetris! Cast your vote and check back next week for the winner (loser?) and a new debate!
