I’m going to make this fast, folks, because I have some Assassin’s Creed: Revelations that needs playing.
And speaking of Assassin’s Creed, here’s a video about it!

I’m a gigantic wrestling fan. I have been ever since I was about 7 years old. A lot of kids idolized their favorite football or basketball players, whereas I championed a different man: “Macho Man” Randy Savage. I’ve grown up with wrestling (I often joke about how I was born to be a wrestling fan, since I’m the same age as Wrestlemania and it always happens right around my birthday), and as such, I make sure to get every new WWE game that hits the shelves.
With last year’s offering, Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011, came a new mode that was a major hit: Universe Mode. For everybody who ever wanted to run the WWE the way they wanted to, this mode provided them with that opportunity. However, it did have its flaws, and there were areas in which it sometimes seemed a bit limited or repetitive. This year, with WWE ’12, the developers are looking to address and rectify the complaints that the fanbase has given them, and from the looks of it, they’ve done a mighty fine job. Check out a video highlighting some of the changes to the mode, which they are now calling “Universe Mode 2.0,” after the jump. Continue reading »

Do you know what the worst thing in the world is? It’s not cancer, or even My Little Pony (although that’s close). It’s Creepers. Mother fucking Creepers.
Those giant green cocks will sneak up on you when you least expect it and then ruin everything! All that gold you mined? Gone! All of those melon seeds you found in a cave deep under ground? Kaput! That diamond pickaxe you managed to craft? Blown to shit! And, of course, it always happens when you’re in an area you can never find again.
For a long time now, Minecraft fans have had to suffer in silence, unable to correctly convey the anguish and hatred that Creepers cause. Until now, that is.

It’s November and that means there are a ton of awesome games coming out. Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 just came out recently and people love those games (and for good reason). But tonight at midnight a game is coming out that people absolutely love. A game people are going to be spending months upon months (maybe even years) playing. Ladies and gentlemen, the game I am talking about is … SKYRIM!!! Continue reading »

Because I am one of the game masters in our local circle of role-playing friends, my players regularly confront me with a bevy of frustrating questions during character generation. They run the gamut from, “Is it cool that I carry this katana around in public?” to, “I know your game is set in Stalinist Russia, but can I please play the illegitimate son of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl?” It’s enough to make any sane GM cry. Even though you want to say no, to grab the player by the lapels and scream at him until he understands how little sense it makes for the spawn of a South American god to be fighting evil in the Soviet Union, there’s a part of you that wants to give in, hoping that in doing so, it will curry favor for your scenario.
Don’t listen to it. Of all the devious voices whispering inside your head, this one is certainly the dumbest.
