In this episode of the AmpedGaming Podcast, we discuss the game that's currently taking up all of our free time, Mass Effect 2. There's definitely some spoilers inside about the first 15-20 hours or so that we've played, so beware. After Matt has to run, Arsen and I talk about random news bits and if we're going to be getting an iPad or not. We're shooting for the next podcast to be recorded next ... more.

It seems the $50 million Microsoft payed to Rockstar to have Grand Theft Auto 4's DLC exclusively was indeed part of a timed deal. The controversial developer announced that GTA: Episodes From Liberty City will be coming to the other two platforms the base game was available for on March 30th. The expansions will be sold in much the same way that they were on the 360, both on disc and digital down... more.

red dead redemption So here is some more game play footage from Red Dead Redemption. Now I really have no idea what's going on with the voice over. You might feel like you're in the middle of a power point presentation, but the video shows that the game will most likely be the most bad ass thing ever. Much like the first game, you will be able to use the dead eye targeting system. Only this time ... more.

In this slightly late posting of the AmpedGaming Podcast, we discuss the many games we played over the holidays, our most anticipated games of the first half of 2010 and spend quite a bit of time over the hour talking about Mass Effect 2. Hopefully by the time we record Episode 4, our game boners for the title will be satiated and we'll be able to talk about something else. Actually, I highly doub... more.

As you'll hear from our most recent podcast (where Jon, Matthew, and I vehemently show our support for the game), there's a ton of excitement over Mass Effect 2. Why is that? Because Bioware is an excellent development studio and Mass Effect was the epitome of a shooter-RPG gaming experience. Now we have the chance to do it all over again through two disks instead of one? Yeah, there's a reason we... more.

Bayonetta is an over-the-top, visually stunning, button mashing mayhem. Besides a few lengthy cut scenes (which you can skip), and a story that almost makes sense, it’s just plain fun. It’s a mish mash of action: everything from shooting, melee fighting, morphing, vehicles, surfing….whatever, it’s got it in there somewhere. The story seems like a clear cut light versus dark, (at first).... more.

The year 2009 was a great one for gaming. Being a gaming site, we here at AmpedGaming felt the need to throw in our two cents on which games brought us the most enjoyment throughout the last year of the decade. Since the staff is scattered across the country and we are neither rich nor able to just swap games with each other and weren't able to play everything that came out, we thought we would do... more.

Capcom's Lost Planet 2 takes place 10 years after the events of the first game on the same frigid planet. As far as I know the release date is as yet undetermined, but is due sometime after April 2010.  A demo was release a while back for both PSN and Xbox Live.

If your game has graphics involving bacon, cupcakes, french fries or almost any type of food, I'm most likely going to buy it. I saw Sky Burger, by Nimblebit on the app store and decided to download it. Super simple concept. Stack the burger with the required ingredients to win. There's meat, cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, tomatoes and the top bun. Money is deducted from your tip if you add inc... more.

As of lately there has been a slew of really well made fan film based on video games. Like in a previous post, I'm not one to put them up unless they are exceptional. So here's another fan film that I though was great.... more.
