Retrovirus beat the odds and has gone gold!

Justin Pauls — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:02:49 +0000

Remember back at the end of June, Victor previewed a Kickstarter game named Retrovirus? Though it managed to get more than a 1000 backers it generated less than half of its goal and never got backed. Truth be told, I tossed money at it because I was intrigued with it’s promise of Descent-like gameplay, and enjoyed playing the demo for Sol Survivor -also from Cadenza Interactive.

Justin’s personal top 5 games made in 2012

Justin Pauls — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 03:37:28 +0000

2012 ended with me hanging out in a cabin on a frozen lake for a half-week, and as such I didn’t notice the end of the year. In fact, I think I may have even missed the apocalypse, but I’m not sure since my cell phones’ dates are based on the Mayan calendar.

Forza Horizon : Now with more screen!

Justin Pauls — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:15:45 +0000

According to a press release from today, Forza Horizon now supports the new SmartGlass technology available on the Windows 8 platform, with other platforms being available shortly. This is landmark, as this is one of the first games to use the interactive screen which is very similar to Nintendo’s WiiU offering.

What does this functionality mean to you? In Forza, you could use your smartphone, PC or tablet device as a map interface instead of having to pause the game. This is especially attractive if you tend to play standard rather than automatic shifting, as the manual control scheme doesn’t have a dedicated map button (so you have to hit pause, then select Map).

Did you miss out on pre-ordering Borderlands 2, and thus didn’t get a key to open up that shiny chest in the heart of Sanctuary?

Well, you can redeem keys by entering SHiFT codes posted on the twitter account of Randy Pitchford ( @DuvalMagic). What’s more, they’ve just dropped some new codes a moment ago, and if this last weekend is any indication, they’re good for several hours.

Warfighter’s Basilian SP Trailer, Screenshots

Justin Pauls — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:37:43 +0000

You know, its often the story that makes shooters stand out in the crowd. I’ve played a fair share of FPS games, both console and PC side, and there are a tremendous amount that spend too much time on the multiplayer component, and the a single player campaigns are overlooked. Medal of Honor has been hit-and-miss with me, though the latest iteration, having just watched the 8 minute trailer (below), I think Warfighter will be one to watch.

Halo 4 Vignette: Joyride

Justin Pauls — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:16:03 +0000

343 Industries released the fourth installment of a series of vignettes from the upcoming live-action digital series, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.”

This video covers the Warhog, or Puma, if you believe in mythical creatures(language warning). Here’s to hoping Halo 4 can live up to the immersion set by the advertising campaign. I still recall wanting to play the Halo 3 Ad campaign more than the one in-game.

Rayman is coming to the WiiU as a launch title, and the creator has some info to share on the development and the new controller. I’m curious to see whether Nintendo can get some really compelling AAA grade games – and this limb-challenged hero has enjoyed some really well received games in the recent past.

Video proof that open world racing is just over the Horizon….

Justin Pauls — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 20:03:30 +0000

Turn 10 Studios just released the first in a series of videos on the making of Forza Horizon, which is slated to arrive October 23rd.

Horizon is purportedly aimed at the celebration of cars in a free-roaming environment, with a heavy emphasis on enjoyment. Instead of just being about hitting the Nuremberg Ring, the video shares a bit about the open world concept delivered with the Forza Motorsport detail, but adding the fun of driving and exploration. Nighttime driving has been added to gameplay, so hopefully we get to flash our high-beams at oncoming traffic. Check out the video below for some in-game footage.

Screenshots for Deadlight, Pro Skater HD and Hybrid

Justin Pauls — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:16:53 +0000

Along with the news of the Summer of Arcade 2012 lineup, we have some new screenshots for you. These games look fantastic, and are worth checking out.

The detail in Hybrid has me intrigued – they’re promising a fresh take on the first-person shooter genre – a promise we often hear without significant follow-through. And with THPSHD, it looks like we won’t need to grind on jagged edges.
