NWP is a great show to listen to while packing your bug out bag.
Happy end of the world, everyone! With today being the supposed end of times according to the Mayans, the Nerds Without Pants thought it would be a great time to talk about apocalyptic games and media. Before that, we catch up on what we’ve been up to lately.
One second, they give out actual awards at the VGAs?!?
We may be a day late, but this episode of Push Start to Continue is certainly not lacking in the dollars and cents. Join Mike and Jesse as they completely ignore the awards given at this year's 10th annual Spike TV Video Game Awards, and talk about the only thing that really matters: the trailers and game announcements. Also discussed is the allure of the Demon's/Dark Souls series, the THQ Bundle, and much, much more.
All is revealed in this trailer for Far Cry 3 which is available now for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Bungie's next game is "designed for your inner seven year old."
Bungie, the famed studio behind Halo, has been hard at work on a new IP for quite some time now. Aside from the title’s codename, Destiny, little to nothing has been revealed to this point, but like so many other big projects, it was only a matter of time before someone let something slip.
Whelp… THAT just happened.
By the end of Episode 3 of Telltale’s “The Walking Dead”, I felt like I had been taken on an emotional rollercoaster. Many events happened that changed the scope of the situation for Lee, Clementine and the rest of the group, and I knew going into Episode 4 that it would continue down that path. Knowing also that Episode 4 is the lead up to their Episode 5 finale I hoped that the stakes would be raised in order to provide for a satisfying final chapter. Thankfully, I was not disappointed.
Available for the Nintendo Wii U on November 18, 2012.
These are the exclusive FIFA Soccer 13 gameplay features on the Wii U.
A unique user interface that stood the test of time and provided some fresh ideas about content on a game console.
Now that we’re just waiting around for our Wii U pre-orders to be fulfilled, we’ve started thinking back on our Wii experience. There were great games and there were stupid, gimmicky games. There was the much maligned 480p output and the long wait for external storage. There were also the channels.
Did a franchise started as a Mario rip-off surpass its “inspiration”? No. No, it did not.
Somewhere during the creation of a game, there seems to be a point where the design team must ask itself, “Should we make our game longer?” Sometimes this might result in the addition of compelling new content, but so often it results in revisiting the same places you’ve already been to collect more thingamabobs. This very decision is what ruins Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. Your forward progress in what could be a wonderful game is stymied until you can perfect your collection of MacGuffins without dying in levels you’ve already completed. It’s a real shame too, because without this unnecessary padding I wouldn’t have noticed the game’s glitches or gotten as frustrated with its inconsistent responses. Most importantly, I wouldn’t have gotten so sick of playing it.
