As an early backer of OUYA, if you consider 40,355 early, I got my little box in the mail this week, a good month before the general public will get theirs. Because I’m a nice guy, I thought I would unbox this beast and let you see what you’re missing. Sliding open the shoebox sized [...]

You’re yearly Call of Duty has been announced and confirmed with it’s latest live action trailer. I personally don’t care for live action trailers, mainly for the fact that they don’t show any gameplay, graphics, characters, or story. The Call of Duty: Ghosts Masked Warriors trailer however is actually kind of cool. But still, don’t [...]

Back in September of last year Microsoft filed a patent for a technology that would project your games image on the walls of the room you’re playing in, giving the effect of virtually being in the game. Here it is, four months later, and Microsoft Research has released IllumiRoom as a proof-of-concept, to show exactly what it [...]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve sat down and played a game for an extended about of time, and most recently that game was Halo 4. What is staged to be the first of the “Reclaimer Trilogy”, is probably a god-send for most Halo fans. For me, I think I can firmly file it [...]

It’s fun for the kids, and drunk adults! Our extended time with Kinect Party at PAX was extremely [...]


Skyrim Doesn’t Want You To Be Homeless

Skyrim

So it was just announced that Skyrim will be gaining a second mod: Hearthfire on the 4th of September. Hearthfire will allow players to purchase land and build homes to their liking for just 400 MS points. I say MS points because Bethesda has to release all content for Xbox first, but maybe PS3 players will be [...]
