Meanwhile, at Quantic Dream
Quantic Dream pulls digital game characters out of the uncanny valley, and into something much closer to the singularity.
Assassins Creed III: Give us Baron von Steuben
The internet is abuzz today with information regarding the new AC:III location and protagonist. In case you’ve been at work or something (actually working), Assassin’s Creed III will take place during the American Revolution, and will star an all new Native American anti-hero.
Dragon’s Dogma: Your Upcoming Demo Character Will Live to Fight Another Day
I had the opportunity to play Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma last year at Nerd HQ really enjoyed myself. I think the problem with modern RPGs is that many new IPs are terrified to really innovate and often borrow systems and themes from other games of a similar ilk. It’s no coincidence that I felt like I was playing Fable mixed with WOW while hacking my way through the beginning of KOA: Reckoning.
SSX demo impressions… it’s tricky
Defy reality. Own the planet. Download the demo. Hack the planet… ok, that last one was me, but you get the idea. Let’s return to the frosty slopes.
Hero Academy: Dwarves Blast Their Way Into Battle!
Hero Academy has become a bit of an obsession here at Nerd Appropriate HQ. Creators of Orcs Must Die, Robot Entertainment have managed to craft an incredibly fun and addicting asynchronous iOS strategy game. Like any great strategy game Hero Academy is simple to learn, but challenging to master. Game play is an epinephrine infused game of chess, mixed with the random nature of Magic the Gathering.
Project S.E.R.A. : Julia Voth Stars as Jill and Once Again Faces the Undead! (Video)
Even after watching Project S.E.R.A., I still have so many questions! The ten minute short film directed by Resident Evil editor Ben Howdeshell sprung to life this morning on YouTube, and damn is it good! Julia Voth (Lilith, Resident Evil, Bitch Slap) stars as Jill, in what could easily be described as a Reservoir Dogs-esque hostage drama with a zombie twist.
Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer: I’ve Been Indoctrinated (that means it’s good)
Over a year ago while recording one of our early podcasts we sat around daydreaming about what the perfect Mass Effect multiplayer experience would be like. We stated that if multiplayer were to work properly, it would have to be just as rich and in depth as the single player experience. We also agreed unanimously that Mass Effect multiplayer should never be competitive (team death match), but objective based action and survival. Now who knows if Bioware was actually listening, but it seems as though the message got through. Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is here… and I’m indoctrinated.
A love letter to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
How Skyward Sword became one of the best Zelda games of all time, the Wii game you’ve always wanted, and why its the last Wii game I will ever play. From Hyrule, with love.
The Pauses release new video…in Mario Paint?
We've written about our friends The Pauses before. They were the ones who made it into Rock Band 3 and then proceeded to dominate the world with their brand of 90s influenced indie rock. And while we don't necessarily pimp…
Double Fine games asks you to help publish their next game
One of our favorite creators is Double Fine bar none. We played the crap out of Costume Quest, Stacking, and most of all Trenched. Not to mention cult classics like Psychonauts. Well just announced on the Double Fine blog, they…
Mass Effect 3 Mobile: Is that Galactic Readiness in Your Pocket? Or…
We’ve been waiting for information about the Mass Effect 3 mobile experience for quite some time. As a matter of fact, we listed some predictions last November here on the site, and it appears as though Bioware agreed with a lot of what we had to say (thx!). Let’s take a look.
Triple Town: The Android Game You Should Download Now
Often Android is the red headed step child of the mobile gaming market. We get Angry Birds sure, but it's well after it was out on iOS. So what can we do? Well for one we could try buying more…
