Pilots, Prepare for Titanfall!
Mar 24th
It’s rare that a game that’s as hyped up as Titanfall actually lives up to it. In many cases, you’re left with a sense of emptiness in your soul after a game has been talked up so much, and the game rarely lives up to what is promised or rumored to be from the community at large.
Titanfall, the new Multiplayer First-Person Mech/Shooter from Respawn Entertainment is a title that definitely lives up to its hype. You man the role of a Pilot from either the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (or IMC), a ruthless commercial empire bent on controlling the galaxy’s resources, More >

Tomb Raider is back in comics after 9 long years without. We last saw Lara Croft as older fans might remember her from the early video games, being published through Top Cow for 50 great issues and several fun mini-series from 1999 through 2005. During that era we saw her drawn by greats like Michael Turner, Adam Hughes, Francis Manapul, Tony Daniel, Andy Park, Billy Tan, and more. But since that period, Lara has went through quite the make over in 2013 video game reboot. Now the comics will catch up to the console with a brand new comic series More >

Aug 29th
It looks like Nintendo is making another move to try and increase sales and ownership of their current console, the Wii U. Plagued by low sales and confusion that the new console is merely a peripheral add-on for the Nintendo Wii, the $349.99 price tag for a deluxe bundle Wii U hasn’t been necessarily drawing in video gamers by the droves. But yesterday Nintendo finally announced a major price drop of fifty dollars on their deluxe, 32GB bundle, set to take affect this September.
