When it comes to shooters, I’m a huge fan! Now, I want you to sit back and think of a game in which you and four friends team up against the onslaught of Hell. What’s the goal? Simply kill the waves of enemies and get the next area, which may or may not be a boss. Anyways, recently Atlus released the game God Mode on Xbox Live and I’ve been putting in a lot of time with friends. I can’t help but enjoy games that keep me and friends busy, but take note not all games are that good. Read the full story

What do space bears and spaceships have in common? I’m not quite sure but they both appear in Iceberg Interactive’s 4X space-strategy game StarDrive. In this game you’ll be able to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate to your heart’s content. You will be defending your own territory against those who would take it. You can either use diplomacy or brute force in your campaign. You can design your ship to your liking by deciding where to place your ship modules. You can also maneuver your ship during battle and hide behind a friendly ship if you’re in need of cover. Read the full story

I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are a lot of things that, honestly, I appreciate now simply out of nostalgia and fond memory, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles receive my sincere appreciation. Has the franchise missed a few steps over the decades? Unfortunately, yes. However, when the Turtles hit right, they’re phenomenal, which is why I have high hopes for what Activision has announced today: a new TMNT game for digital download. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will be available this summer on XBLA, PSN, and Steam. Read the full story

WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to RiseUp44, Romain Braussen, Antonio Leon, Hanamichi Sakuragi, and Michael Zurring!

Just a couple of months ago, Bethesda released a game that has received multiple game of the year awards from various outlets: Dishonored. Let me give you one of my positive review comments about the game: “I shot a dude’s head off with a crossbow and found his severed head on a wall behind him, held up by my crossbow bolt (with a slow-mo kill cam giving me a close-up of the decapitation).” It’s a fantastic title, deserving of its accolades. If you haven’t had the chance to play yet, I highly recommend it. On that note, we do have five Steam codes for Dishonored’s newest DLC, Dunwall City Trials, which brings players ten challenge maps with various parameters. Read the full story

WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to Alexandr Popov, GaryYam, Getsuga_Tensho, Stefan Vasilev, and Kyle A!

Did you know that there was a game out there that would let you play in a multiplayer deathmatch as a dinosaur? Well, there is, and it’s called Primal Carnage. Play as the first-person perspective Mercenaries, or as the third-person perspective Dinosaurs, in a team deathmatch gameplay arena with more modes to come. We have five Steam PC codes for Primal Carnage, so if you’ve ever run around the house with your arms tucked in to your t-shirt while T-Rexing, this is the contest for you. Read the full story

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack still holds the #2 spot on MetaCritic’s list of PS Vita game scores, and it’s a position it wholeheartedly deserves. Five and a half months after its Vita launch, Drinkbox Studios’ Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is making its way to the PC, via Steam. I haven’t had the chance to play the Vita original, but from everything I had seen and heard, I was very excited for the PC release, due this Wednesday. Having now played it over the past few days, I can say that my excitement was justified and warranted. Read the full story

While Thom and I have been podcasting together for the last few months, and Lindsey and I podcasted together last week, Episode 038 of Marooners’ Talk, “Are You There Adam? It’s Us, Marooners’ Talk” is the first time since E3 2011 that Thom, Lindsey, and I have all podcasted together. Thom reminds Lindsey that he told her to play Mass Effect 2 a year ago, Lindsey wonders who would win in a battle between Superman and Dark Phoenix, Thom and Lindsey discuss True Blood (and get interrupted by the picture embedded below), and, as we have been doing recently, we discussed comic books and comic book characters. All without Adam, yet again. Read the full story

A while back, I got to see an early build of the upcoming Legends of Pegasus from Kalypso Media, and I was amazed at what I had experienced. Of course, as I just said, it was an early build so we couldn’t play the game. Since then, though, trailers have been releasing on a semi-regular basis, giving us a good look at what to expect. Have you ever wanted to travel space and take part in epic battles? Of course you have, who hasn’t?! Check out the latest trailer for Legends of Pegasus: Read the full story

WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to kujen (@kujen92), A Parker (@DontJudgeMyADD), Albert/Rick (@Evilteddy03), LD, and cave_bo on winning Steam codes for the Orcs Must Die! Strategy Game of the Year edition! Thank you all for participating, and good luck next time!

Last year’s breakout hit for fledgling developer Robot Entertainment was a little title called Orcs Must Die. In it, you took on on the role of the last remaining War Mage in an attempt to protect Rifts leading to human worlds from the rampaging hordes of Orcs intent on destroying everything. We absolutely loved our experience with the game at E3 2011, as our following review of the title supports, and are definitely excited about the release of its sequel at the end of this month, even though it won’t make its way to consoles (understandably). In anticipation of the release of Orcs Must Die! 2, we’re giving you the chance to win one of FIVE Steam codes for the Orcs Must Die! Strategy Game of the Year Edition, courtesy of Robot Entertainment. Read the full story
