Extra Life

Extra Life is one of the great times for us gamers to do something we love to help others. Extra Life is a video game fundraiser that supports the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals around the United States. Gamers around the world will take one day (literally) out of their lives to play video games. For each hour played, gamers can ask donators to donate at least $1 per hour (total of $24). So how do you get involved?

E3 Wrapup

Yeah yeah I know it's been a while and I didn't review Sony and Nintendo press conferences, so I'll do that quickly before I close out E3 for this year. Also I'll give my opinion on the winners and losers of E3. Feel free to leave a comment with your opinions.

E3 Review - Ubisoft Press Conference

For the past few years, Ubisoft has had some of the most ridiculous and outrageous press conferences of all time. From celebrity host like Joel Mchale -who tried his hardest to be enthusiastic about the crap games- to Mr. Caffine -who did nothing but make us want to tear our hair out- Ubisoft has had trouble convincing gamers that they are a serious game developer. With the new Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell hyping gamers, I was hoping that they would finally get their act together.

E3 Review - EA Press Conference

With the exception of Mass Effect 3's release, EA has had a tough year. However, their press conference showed no signs of that the company was struggling. With games such as Dead Space 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and the ever popular FIFA, EA showed why they are a force to be reckoned with.

E3 Review - Microsoft Press Conference

That time of year again, people out there on the interwebz, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is here and it's ready to blow your socks off with gaming news, trailers, gameplay and interviews. In this "Super Bowl of game developers" as Jack Trenton stated, E3 is a place where games and developers are examined under a microscope. The good, the bad, and the ugly are forever recorded in gaming news history.

No Podcast This Week

Hey people out there in the interwebz,

Been a lot going on, so there's no podcast this week. And probably for the next few, due to finals QQ


But fear not, we will return and in full force!
