After a good 15 years of working at Bungie, their design director, Joe Staten has made the decision to leave the company. Within his career at Bungie he's done significant work on the Halo franchise Bungie is renowned for along with work on their upcoming title Destiny. He's even the voice of the grunts in Halo. Bungie released a statement from Joseph Staten below on their blog.

Sony has announced their Season Pass plans for Killzone Shadow Fall. They have planned a variety of free competitive maps planned for multiplayer, but they'll also be working on a few DLC packs for a price. The Season Pass will be priced at $19.99 allowing access to the following, • Online co-op expansion pack - Focusing on team play and intense combat, the online co-op expansion pack adds

Hey everyone, it's been a while I know, but I'm back! Since my last post back in February of 2012 I mentioned that I had begun writing news at FPSGuru and writing monthly articles for Hooked Gamers. Unfortunately, I didn't stay with Hooked Gamers for long, only writing a few reviews and previews. Although, with FPSGuru after a few months of volunteering, I switched to salary, then became the

For those of you that frequently come to my blog, Snakester's Gaming Zone, you'll notice I haven't made any posts as of lately. While I still may make a post randomly or review here, I've currently taken the time to focus on writing on other sites. First there's FPSGuru.com which is a site focused on delivering news, features, interviews, and more about First Person Shooters mainly.

Here's a quiet commentary of me playing some Free for All in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, on Mission. Didn't win it, but came close in second. Enjoy!

With all the hype going around as of recently for Resident Evil 6 coming up, I'm sure you've come across this logo several times on several articles. Looks pretty cool, pretty casual, or is it? Some people have noticed that the six looks a little strange, perhaps like a giraffe on the left. And wait.. wait, is that a woman giving the giraffe a blow job? That's what some people tend to believe.

A commentary of me playing some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Bootleg, Team Deathmatch. You'll quickly learn I'm not too fond of UAV's, especially when the enemy team decides to keep popping UAV's. Although I probably destroyed at least half of them. Surprisingly UAV's can be very useful in Call of Duty, along with previous titles in the franchise. Not a load of people choose the UAV as it's

A Game of Dwarves was just recently announced two days ago by Paradox in Sweden, being developed by Zeal Game Studios. It allows you to take on controlling a whole dwarf settlement starting out with something small soon to discover a completely randomly generated dungeon. You'll find yourself having to manage your band of dwarves between digging, building, and defending. You may see a bit of

As I'm trying to strengthen my YouTube channel I've been adding more videos and decided to do a first impression of Machinarium, developed by Amanita Design. I ended up playing for an hour and then realized after stopping, so I just cut it down to 18 minutes instead. Later this week I will have a review for Machinarium, so keep an eye out!

Klei Entertainment jumped out of no where with this release date for Shank 2. Shank 2 will be arriving on the PlayStation Network, XBLA, and PC on February 7th in North America.A day later for those in Europe, which isn't too bad. 800 Microsoft Points for XBLA gamers and $9.99 to everyone else. For those of you who can't wait for the sequel to Shank, check out the preview below!

Check out the latest trailer from Ubisoft for I Am Alive! The trailer I Am Alive Encounters features the main character Adam Collins in the various encounters throughout the game. It shows a few different situations you'll come across, mainly making it a major point that you're not the only one still alive. In which case means there are tons of people who might not quite be so friendly and may

Join us in opposing SOPA, whether you're a game developer, gaming journalist site, youtube user, company, individual, or anyone at all! SOPA, otherwise known as Stop Online Piracy Act, is a bill that's going to do much more than stop piracy, and probably not even do that. SOPA will censor the internet and take down sites that we use every day to stop copyright infringement.  Don't let SOPA

Earlier this year back in November there were a ton of screenshots floating around keeping the spotlight on Max Payne 3's release. You'd figure things were moving smoothly, but perhaps not quite so. Originally Max Payne 3 was expected to release in March, but now it's been moved up to May, ouch. It will release May 15th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America. For everyone else

Last week on January 2nd, 300 hundred employees at Foxconn threatened a mass suicide in Wuhan, China, due to being turned down for a raise request. Foxconn is important as they produce several products for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. It turns out this group of workers creates Xbox 360's.  According to the Chinese anti-government China Jasmine Revolution website, the employees were

It's definitely not a hidden rumor that a Call of Duty sequel will be expected considering how successful the franchise has been. Although as of recently Activision has secretly acquired the domain name blackops2.com. It was first registered back in May 2010 briefly after Black Ops was announced and then disappeared under Whois privacy. But reappeared for a moment on Go Daddy's Domains by proxy.

Check out the intense Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - Triple Impact Trailer above. Looks like a pretty epic battle between the Umbrella Security Service, Spec-Ops, and well of course your favorite, zombies. Before you rage, the video by Capcom states zombies. In the trailer the U.S. Spec-Ops team Tweed, Deey-Ay, Harley, Willow, Shona, and Party Girl tend to get into a bit of a mix up

You've probably seen this image circulating around major gaming sites recently, although it's likely false. Earlier today Joystiq came across this image and came to believe that Best Buy released a potential Diablo III release date. The image displays a Diablo III poster, a countdown at the bottom, and it reveals that they're planning a midnight opening February 1st. This can be found

I rarely watch shows or any movies that have commercials anymore, but when I came across this commercial, definitely had to see what the hype was about. Looks like Sonic decided to make an appearance in a Progressive commercial. For anyone curious, Sonic is running to the Sonic 3 invincibility theme. They probably could of used something better, but still funny overall to see Sonic in

Limbo is an indescribable game that you have to experience to fully embrace everything. Limbo pulls you in with ambient sounds, creepy art, and tons of traps.

Cube World creator, Wollay; Wolfram Von Funck joins up with Mojang as of recently. Notch tweeted moments ago that Wollay joined the team and sounds very happy to have him on board. Although he still makes sure it's clear that Cube World is still Funck's private game. Therefore, Mojang may help with marketing or publishing in the future I could imagine, but otherwise won't interfere. "Yeeah, we

Over the last couple of weeks you may of heard about several major gaming journalists leaving their job for a variety of reasons, well it's slowly all coming into place now. The company Vox Media has made themselves known from their sports and technology websites, SB Nation and The Verge. Vox is a fast growing publisher in these two areas and is seeking to expand their network of sites within the

And the entire universe is just waiting to be explored and scavenged. Before you know it, you're engrossed into the world and aren't sure if you want to leave. What is Bastion?

Recently there was a video that appeared on YouTube from Anonymous threatening Sony and various other musicians due to their support of SOPA. Although now there's been more word from Anonymous clarifying that if the attack occurs, it's going to be focused on the Sony executives. Rather than the people on the PlayStation Network this time around. Definitely a smarter move than just

Do you want to see this on every page of the internet? I don't think so. As of recently EA, Nintendo, and Sony Entertainment have decided to pull away from SOPA, quietly that is. In the current document listing all of those supporting SOPA, they've recently disappeared. Considering the after effect GoDaddy had from supporting SOPA, I'm sure these companies realized it's not a great stance
