Independent game studio, Reto-Moto, is currently in development with their newest World War II game named Heroes and Generals, and we got our first look this week while they ran their pre-beta testing phase. Heroes and Generals is a combined real time strategy and first person shooter game set during the largest conflict of the last century, World War II. Heroes and Generals is a game that runs within your browser and is set to be free to play, but you can spend money to improve the game through micro-transactions. Since this is in pre-beta testing, the game ran understandably…
It seems like I have been spending quite a bit of time in the lands of Ardania lately. First, with the Defenders of Ardania on the XBLA and now with our preview of Paradox Interactive’s new turn based strategy game, Warlock: Master of the Arcane. I got my hands on a preview copy of Warlock: Master of the Arcane during its beta testing phase, so this preview will focus on what I liked about the game and the mechanics, while saving the negative critique until we have an actual release copy that is complete.
The preview copy did not have much…

My computer desk just got a makeover… SteelSeries just sent us an amazing treat… Gamingshogun’s review units for the new Diablo III gaming mouse and headset. It is a privilege and a pleasure to share my thoughts on both of these fine pieces of peripheral hardware after the jump!
The Mouse
Two peripherals can simply make or break our entire experience with our computers. Those peripherals are the keyboard (which I am tap-tapping away on right now) and the mouse. These two devices are how we interface with the brains of the computer. When one doesn’t feel or work right, I (for…
This was a game I thought I hadn’t played before based on reading the premise because I didn’t understand the premise. I was right but that was luck. I am all for a nice rich storyline but this set some insanely lofty goals when it came to the idea behind this side scrolling shooter. You play Epsilon Eagle, a robot/animal/human parasite that co-exists with each of it’s parts including it’s eagle head. He was the head of a criminal organization which was attacked and he was forced to hide in a young boy’s body until his rival Xi-Tiger forced…
This is the first installment of an ongoing series dedicated to the games we loved and the games we missed over the years. OnLive recently made a deal with Sega to carry a bunch of Genesis classics as well as some greatly loved games by other companies giving us the opportunity to enjoy the roots of gaming on a modern platform. Hope you enjoy them as much as we are!
Alex Kidd got around in his day as the mascot for Sega in the earlier part of the 80′s, he was the precursor to Sonic and hung around a while after…
We finally got to checkout Corsair’s new Vengeance K90 gaming keyboard. With mechanical key switches, LED backlighting, and aluminum base, the keyboard comes out of the gate swinging and looking to make a mark in the gaming keyboard market.
Upon initial inspection, a gaming keyboard’s construction is what sells its value. Taking a keybaord out of the box and thinking it feels “cheap”, “flimsy”, etc usually tells us all we need to know about it. Thankfully, this was not anywhere near the case with the Corsair Vengeance K90. With a sturdy aluminum base, large layout, and hefty weight of four and…
BenQ’s Joybee GP2 is a very small, easy to pack projector, measuring 2.1” x 5.5” x 5.1”. It also weighs a sleight 1.2 lbs, making it one of the most portable projector units I have used. While you COULD spend money on a “real” projector screen, I prefer the sheet-on-the-wall approach. I picked up a cheap, queen-sized, white sheet and hung it on the wall with some tacks. The bottom of the Joybee GP2 features a threaded hole for use on wall or ceiling mounts as well as a riser in order to increase or decrease the tilt of the…
Another day and another game drops with a trip to the Zombie Apocalypse. This time the developers behind budget title Wasteland Angel have released a side scrolling tower defense style game called “Deadly 30″. The game is an independently produced title and taking a quick look at it can be quite deceiving. Let’s jump into the zombie horde and take a look at what we thought of the game.
What We Thought Was Cool
Day Turns Into Night:
The point of Deadly 30 is simple, you need to survive for 30 days without being destroyed by the zombie horde. The game starts you…
