Hype: Any MMORPG Ever

Allie Castellano | 4 hours ago - 11:29 AM on 05.16.2012

I hate MMORPGs. That is the first time I have ever admitted it, but it feels good to finally do so, as I've known it to be true for awhile now. Yet, despite this, that knowledge never stops me from falling absolutely head over heels in love with them. I read one write-up on the game, and I'm hooked....

So I used to be Kind of a Big Deal around here. At one point I had over five destructoid friends. I knew a guy who knew a guy who sat in a wine-filled bathtub with Jim Sterling. I may have, at one point, brushed shoulders with Niero himself. I don't think he noticed. It was in a huge crowd. And h...

Um yeah. Recaps. I might be a bit distracted today. I'll give you two guesses why. Yes I picked them both up on the same day. Well, actually I had doing the digital download thing so I could play early in the morning, but we all know how that worked out. I'd talk more about , but I've only ...

As a content designer I was to help Dylan and Chris C. on the story board, I wasn’t great at it so I mostly gave feedback on their ideas. Most of my help came in on the mechanics/systems, like cash shop items and power ups that are going to be in the game. Eric and I came up with some cool ideas abo...

So this is my last week of the semester at school. Tomorrow I'll be presenting all my writings, but before that I need to write about everything that's happened since my last post. For VICOM110 we our feedback on our design doc. Pretty much we just needed a lot more pictures of our game and referenc...

Hype: The reason I bought an Xbox 360

What you have to understand about me is that for the three unfortunate years I spent in middle school, I was absolutely, positively, whole-heartedly, obsessively, and depressingly attached to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Of course, the only actual games from the series I had played at this po...

#12: From Dust

1001VideoGames | 22 hours ago - 5:17 PM on 05.15.2012

From Dust seems like the most unlikely title to come from a studio whose recent library is made of blockbuster franchises. With series like Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, and Rayman in its arsenal Ubisoft shows no signs of slowing down. But when the company released its downloada...

Your heart pounds in your chest as you crouch beneath the window. Just behind that wall you hear the sound of foot steps running past. Further down the street you hear a Panzer III engine rumble to life. Gun shots ring out across the city interspersed with cannon fire and anti-aircraft batteries o...

See what I did there? Oh boy. Now I'll admit something I'm not proud of. And I'm especially not proud of it after playing Max Payne 1 and 2 for the first time only a couple months ago..... .... well, that's exactly it. I waited until my later gamer years (21 is so old) to play some of the best...

Hype: Mass Effect 3

When I finished Mass Effect 2, I was convinced I had just played the greatest game of this gen, and possibly of all time. Never before had I been so immersed in a game. The action was fun, the graphics beautiful, and, since I hadn't played the first game, a lot of my time was spent researching Codex...

Personality Analysis in Gaming: An underused effect

Prior to playing 2PaperDolls’ , I didn’t know much about the field of sentiment analysis. Actually, to be completely honest, I understood nothing about the area. After playing around with Mind Of Man for a while, I couldn’t help but wonder about the application of sentiment analysis (or specifically...

True Nature: [Ganon's Fortress]

This was a piece that was intended to be a speed painting but it ended up a little more polished. I had a lot of fun creating it, it took about three hours. I was inspired by the grandeur of the scene where you first come upon Ganon's Castle. Though, I took quite a few artistic liberties, envisio...

I guess there are some goings-on tonight? Some of you may be hanging out at Gamestop at midnight, and some of may be F5-ing in your bedroom all night long. Have fun y'all. Myself? Thanks for asking. Probably trying to figure out Demon's Souls for the first time, so I can co-op/harass some of you ...

It's entirely possible that I missed some games, but I'll say this...this list took me a good 4 hours to put together, therefore, if I missed anything, just let me know and I'll fact check it just in case. I'm confident, however, in the top 5 and let me tell you, there are some FANTASTIC games thi...

Hype: or, Hypenosis

It is thanklessly easy to buy into hype: the tickets are cheap, and the acts almost always popular. Even when the presumed product is a can't miss, real-deal, guaranteed thing, the hype can be easy to run away with. When Marge Simpson is seduced by an exotic bowling partner (back when the Simpsons w...

How huge is this game right here?

I've been doing some gaming thinking and I just realized something that's odd. We all know how big say Red Dead Redemption is, bout the size of a condensed early 1900's America and a little bit of Mexico too. Truly the game is one hell of a feat to make such big and impressive landscapes that's fun ...

Wild Speculation: Wii U/3DS Redesign

There are two questions on the minds of Nintendo fans everywhere. What is the Wii U controller going to do, and will there be a 3DS redesign? These are two very good questions that need answers, and it will all be revealed at E3. However I think I may already have the answer. I fully admit it doesn'...

There are few games that have benefited society with real-world results that don’t fall under the term “educational”. Sure, I have a better understanding of the world having hunted down Carmen Sandiego more times than I can count, and I truly have a newfound respect for the frontier pioneers that cr...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive open world role-playing game released in 2011, receiving critical acclaim across the board and winning the Game of the Year awards from ten different ceremonies.

What goes on in a game’s development is beyond me. If development is as complicated as they say when making excuses for day one and on-disc DLC, then that may be true. But publishers need to recognize the position those practices put us as customers in as well. It’s one thing if a company’s typica...

Diablo 3 is one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year as it has managed to create a lot of hype around it since the first announcement came in the March of 2008. Since then Blizzard, the game’s developers have continued to play with the patience and loyalty of diablo fans with their period...
