The game play is about the same as previous installments, though there have been a few additions like the hookblade; it’s a nice touch as it adds some style and combat variation. But it doesn’t feel necessary, it’s mainly there to add a few inches when you jump but I’ve never had a problem; I can always hit a ledge without its help, and you can climb anything without it, it’s mostly a convenience

It’s no secret that Skyrim is getting raving reviews all over the place. To save some time I won’t tell you how beautiful the Skyrim mountain peaks are, the frigid ocean, the waterfalls. I won’t mention the wilderness teeming with life ripe for the hunt, the surprised encounters or random dragon battles. I won’t talk about the complex politics you can participate in or the flower picking and

Well you guessed it my imaginary readers, Mesmer will be the eighth and final class! Big surprise right? Pretty clever of them to bring back their most iconic class from guild wars 1, impressive. however, this info was leaked to the public before Arena.net had a chance to say, "Gotcha! It was the Mesmer the whole time! Tehe." A whole video was discovered showing some of the skills that come

The ’11 Comic-Con has come and gone, but Game Tokers were there! We were neck-deep in comics, movies, anime, booth babes, nerd rage, and the best of all, VIDEO GAMES. Riding sky high with a certain strain that goes by the name of Skywalker; we made a run for the trenches and tried to blow the con wide open from the inside. The Spaceman and I (Barbarian, rawr) got our munchie-covered hands on

Hail to the King, baby! After 12+ years Duke is back to save us from the aliens again. The single player campaign is filled with raunchy toilet humor that probably smoking the ganj can only make funny. Duke Nukem Forever also brings back some nostalgic things like the freeze and shrink rays, as well as strippers and their money makers. The unfortunate thing about Duke is it was finished 2

The Barbarian here with a quick update. The Spaceman and I will be attending Comic-Con International in San Diego this year and we plan on getting some juicy news on some of the most anticipated games of this year and the next. Expect some tidbits popping up during the Comic-Con weekend (July 21-24) and if need be a decompression of what we saw in the days following.Some games we hope to shed

Cole MacGrath (no, he’s not a country singer) or better known as “The Electric Man” as one of the lamest super hero names ever, took a trip down south to the recovering city of New Orlea—err New Marais where he has to prepare for the final showdown between him and the Beast! He will also get a chance to smack down some inbred militia hicks and terrorize the kindly (or asshole-ish) citizens of

What happens when Call of Duty and its weapon customization, Team Fortress 2 and its class warfare, and Mirror’s Edge and its PARKOUR have a drunk-fueled orgy lovechild? Bethesda supplied the booze for that threesome to happen and cooked up Brink! This competitive shooter brings interesting depth to the genre, though it seems kind of like a TF2 mod to me. Two teams with

Sorry my brothers and sisters in green, the cake is still a lie. If you’re anything like me, you had countless hours of fun in Portal just messing around with the genius and outrageous physics of it all. The only thing I was worried about at first was the length of the game, but Portal 2 smacked me in the face with more levels than I had expected, along with a whole co-op campaign to boot

ALIENS! CITY IN RUINS! INTRIGUE! Crysis 2 offers all these and a nano-suit to boot. This sweet ass nano-suit makes you a super soldier; increasing strength, speed, endurance and all sorts of stuff, the suit even has a stealth mode. This time around instead of a remote jungle island, you’re smack dab in the middle of a ruined New York City. Aliens have come to fuck shit up, and fuck

The next generation of Pokemon is here! The Black and White editions usher in the fifth generation of pokemon games, with a new region to get lost in and another ~150 pokemon to commit to memory. Oh, and of course all these newer pokemon rank from preciously cute to monstrously awesome. Even the graphics got an upgrade, allowing a third-person view at times that allow for amazing vistas even

In this second installment of the Dragon Age epic by Bioware, I had the pleasure of living out my Conan the Barbarian-esque fantasy of killing hundreds of men and bedding as many women.Who's your daddy and what does he do!? The game’s story is broken up into acts that allow the story to evolve how Bioware intends but still allows the player choice in the direction or pace their Hawke becomes
