It's been hyped for a while now. After a slew of bad press and worse public reception management, the Xbox reveal is or was Microsoft's chance to win consumers over to their side. There's still E3 of course, but if Microsoft stays their current course, I don't see them doing very well at all this generation. After watching a short, somewhat tepid reveal, I had only one response: "is that all you got?"

Despite a laundry list of buzz words, I wasn't exactly impressed. I expect a healthy amount of lies and bullshit at these kinds of events, but there was little substance to back up the hype here. It felt like Microsoft was trying their best to make up for a severe lack of actual gaming content. It seems clear that Microsoft had nothing of valu…

With Microsoft's big reveal of the next Xbox happening tomorrow, we decided to take a trip back in time and explore a few of the games that were available at the Xbox 360's launch. We'll be playing Amped 3, Gun, and Condemned: Criminal Origins, all of which got reasonable reviews, but we're eager to see if they've stood the test of time. What better way to appreciate the shiny new console generation than by looking back at the old, not so shiny one?

On May 14th, from 2PM PST to 3PM PST, Doug and myself will be digging through the archives and playing some Xbox 360 launch titles.

The Twitch.tv stream will be live below. Stay tuned tomorrow for our stream. After the stream is completed, we will update this post to a link of the video archive. …

So it's come to this. Unfortunately we weren't able to get our copy of Metro: Last Light in time for our stream, so we were forced to find an emergency substitute at the last moment. That substitute is Way of the Dogg, a rhythm based fighting game based on the works of one Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop Dogg. Currently only available for Xbox 360, the game is also planned for release on PlayStation 3, iOS, and Android. We're not expecting much from this one (currently at 40 on Metacritic), but we're hoping/praying to be surprised. God save us all.

On May 14th, from 2PM PST to 3PM PST, Doug and myself will be learning to Kung-Fu/rhythm with the big Snoop D-O double G.

It's a testament to the diversity of gaming that we actually have several options available when it comes to surgery games. While the anime-styled Trauma Center offers a serious, bizarre, and dramatic spin on the pressure of the ER room, Surgeon Simulator 2013 goes the complete opposite direction. As some sort of back alley sawbones named Nigel Burke, you ineptly attempt to perform surgical procedures with a variety of tools at your disposal, most of which are not designed for such delicate work. Add to that the game's intentionally less than precise controls, and you've got a wrongful death lawsuit waiting to happen!

On May 7th, from 2PM PST to 3PM PST, Doug and myself will be inadvertently butchering innocent patients in Surgeon Simulator 2…

Iceland, Reykjavik, Fanfest 2013

Fanfest in Reykjavik enjoys an almost legendary reputation, not only for people that play Eve Online, send scanners through out galaxies and have starting playing Dust 514, a free-to-play title for the PS3.

The descent upon this volcanic island by plane, already gives a good impression, how the designers of the game, which is produced by CCP in Iceland, got their inspiration for the graphics. The venue hall Harpa, whose facade was inspired by facettes on icebergs and provides stunning views of the surroundiing landscape, became home to almost 2000 players and fans, who made it over to this barren rock in the northern atlantic. The Harpa housed the fans now for a second time, but the Fanfest celebrated its tenth …

As far as DLC is concerned, map packs, new characters, and new weapons are all well and fine, but we’re partial to DLC that re-envisions games as gonzo neon 80’s action films filled to the brim with one liners and lasers. Which is why we’re excited to play the new Far Cry 3 stand-alone expansion, Blood Dragon. Replacing the game’s relatively serious tone with a completely goofball revamp dedicated to the cheeseball VHS action heroes of yore, it’s the kind of no-holds-barred approach we love to see from DLC content.

On April 30th, from 2PM PST to 3PM PST, Doug and myself will be shooting dragons with lasers and spouting one liners, check it out!

The Twitch.tv stream will be live below. Stay tuned tomorrow for our stream. After the stream is co…
