Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is Addictive, New, Yet Familiar

Sid Meier’s Civilization carries with it a lot of baggage. The name alone is like a seal of excellence being stamped on a game, but it also comes with exceedingly high expectations. For the first time since 1999’s Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, Firaxis took their brand of 4x sim games to the stars. While Beyond

GTA: San Andreas HD on Sale on Xbox 360 This Weekend For Under $4

So this weekend marked the tenth anniversary of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and to commemorate that, Rockstar has released a new “HD” (read: 720p) version of GTA: SA on Xbox 360. Oh, and they didn’t really tell anyone this, but it’s apparently on sale until the 27th of October (read: Monday) for $3.74. That

What’s Xur selling in Destiny this weekend?

Xur has been letting me down the last couple of weekends. Maybe it’s because none of the exotic gear he sells for Hunters is all that badass looking like some of the options for Warlocks and Titans. I don’t know. Whatever the reason, it’s got me almost trying to persuade Gary and Dave to do

This WWE2K15 Trailer Has Us Pretty Pumped

It’s no secret that we here at MiddleEasy love wrestling games. Even when we don’t love wrestling, the games are still awesome to play. The switchover from the Smackdown games to the WWE ‘XX games with WWE ‘12 was a huge overhaul and while WWE ‘13 and WWE2K14 were fine games, it does seem like

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel lacks innovation, is for fans only and is a ton of fun

It takes a special property to be as self-aware as Borderlands, and with each release of DLC, the Borderlands universe expands into more ridiculousness. What is a Pre-Sequel? It’s a prequel to a sequel, of course. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel rests between Borderlands 1 and 2 and tells the story of how Handsome Jack, Borderlands 2’s

WWE2K15 Promises Big Gameplay Changes in Making Of Video

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of WWE2K15 will be out in just a matter of a week now, but the Xbox One and PS4 version is a solid month away. Usually the WWE Games crew is pumping out videos, screenshots and a lot of other stuff in the leadup to a game being

We bought Alien: Isolation and so should you

Today I will present you with a hypothesis because I decided to take the plunge and buy Alien Isolation: Nostromo Edition. There were a few reasons for this – obviously I love Alien and Aliens, they’re two cinematic Giants (this game is set between them), but the most notable reason was price. The hypothesis focuses

It’s the weekend, and once again Xur is selling stuff in Destiny

Alright. I admit it – I dropped the ball on the “What the fuck is Xur selling this weekend” article this week. But in my defense…well…okay I got nothing. But, you know how it goes. You play Destiny. You bitch about Destiny. The weekend gets here. You buy shit from Xur on Destiny. And I

Damn, Project Cars delayed until 2015

It’s been an ugly week or so for racing games hasn’t it? First we had Drive Club coming out last week to extreme server problems that they’re still working out, ultimately crippling the games defining feature, the ability to… well join a Drive Club. This forced them to delay the free playstation plus version of

Watch this three-year-old girl defeat two invaders in Dark Souls 2

I remember playing video games as a three year old extremely clearly. I was playing Duck Hunt by pressing the light gun up against the screen, much like many three-year-old children do. As well as playing my father in Boxing Legends of The Ring on SNES, of course I’d play my father in Boxing Legends

We’re checking out Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on MLG.TV right now!

I’ve played the hell out of the previous two Borderlands games, and quite a bit of the DLC content. It’s Diablo with guns, it has a hyper-aware sense of humor, and now it’s back for more. Why? Because it sells, it’s fun and damn it, people like it. In fact, it’s probably one of the

Destiny Mysthbusters – Episode 2: Can you get a headshot with a grenade?

Oh Destiny, what a confusing game you’ve been. After being promised to be the biggest game that Bungie has ever made… well that’s not a lie. It’s just the Halo games weren’t that big in the first place. Which has left the single player experience for most gamers, starving for more. Yet, I find myself
