When I used to play Ultima Online, my dad wanted to put me in some form of rehab because I spent an entire weekend camping harpies in the Covetous dungeon for their feathers so I could make arrows for my archer. When I was in high school, that seemed like a perfectly normal thing for
The Steam Summer Sale has led to our wallets getting just a bit looser over the past week and a half, with one of those games that we’ve picked up being Monaco. Monaco, for those who are gleefully unaware, is a puzzle-based heist game which I can only explain as kind of Hotline Miami with
Can you believe this Steam Sale has been going on for ten days already? I’ve spent $35 bucks and now I’m the proud owner of about 9 great games, but still, the sales keep coming. Remember: it’s a marathon, not a race, but no matter how in shape you are and how fat Gabe Newell
I’ve kind of been waiting for day nine of the Steam Summer Sale so I can quote from the Alice in Chains song “Sludge Factory” and say “daaaay niiiine” in my best Layne Staley voice and then immediately swear and get applauded. I feel like most of you are too young for that reference, even
As an avid Minecraft player (although, I will admit, I’ve taken some time away from it) I gotta say that there aren’t many games that are as fun of an experience as Minecraft. You just get plopped into a world and are forced to survive, which isn’t a huge problem by day as everything is
Earthbound is a very strange RPG that came out on the SNES almost 20 years ago. In many ways it was ahead of it’s time. The gameplay was magnificent, the music was layered with samples from and tributes to classic artists like The Beatles, and the game parodies the RPG and sci-fi genres with all
With the conclusion of EVO 2013, the biggest fighting game tournament of them all, I can confidently say that this was the best combat sports card of the year — greater than Bellator 85, UFC on Fox 7, heck even better than Mayweather vs Guerrero. Whatever you want to call it — rawesome, hype, epic,
So we said that we might be done with these monstrosities that we call Steam Summer Sale posts, but guess what? We lied! In this case, our lie is your gain as we are here, again, to tell you which of these games are worth your hard earned ducats and which ones you should [virtually]
When the game that is now known as The Bureau: X-Com Declassified was originally debuted way back before X-Com: Enemy Unknown was even a twinkle in the eye of 2K Marin, old-school X-Com fans cried foul. How could they tear apart our beloved franchise, and turn it into yet another cover-based shooter? Fast forward a
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is without a doubt one of the most epic games of the past few years. Just from beginning to end (if you ever actually get to the end, I mean, sometimes it feels like why bother?) Skyrim is masterful in immersing you in the world of Tamriel while you adventure
I’m starting to notice a pattern when it comes to the games being featured, which means that we are beginning to get to the end of the “new” deals with the Steam Summer Sale. A lot of these games, like GTA IV, Deus Ex, Dark Souls, Mount & Blade and Dead Island Riptide were featured
We’ve heard a lot of talk about features for the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, with a lot of the features overlapping between the two. Of course, that is on purpose as neither one wants to let the other get an advantage or anything, right? Sony made a big splash at E3 when
Damn it. The sale has gotten good, but I got too excited early and now I’m left wondering if I dare spend more of my hard-earned MiddleEasy cash (of which I’m flush with). Well, I don’t know, but the least I could do is help you guys, the salt of the earth. You need to
Bill Clinton became the President of the United States the same time Mortal Kombat was released in arcades. Mike Tyson was also convicted of raping Miss Black Rhode Island, Desiree Washington, something that Mike Tyson still denies to this day. In 1992 Windows 3.1 released by Microsoft and Miley Ray Cyrus was born on November
The Steam Summer Sale is a marathon, not a race. We must be gentle with our wallets, as not to break them from quick overuse. You have to ease your wallet into the sale, gently spending a little at a time. You wouldn’t go into an all-out sprint if you had not warmed up properly
The Steam Summer Sale trudges on, and frankly, outside of a few, choice, cuts — today’s sales aren’t too great. At least in my opinion. Sure, there are some good games, but after the gaming orgasm that was the first two days, I find it hard to keep spending. Sanctum 2: 50% off $7.49
