All right so I've been sitting on this for about a week now. And I gotta tell ya... there was a reason for that. Remember how I said something about any news that might come up I'll report on it. Well... yeah... There really wasn't any. But what there were a lot of comics and what made this con special was the amount of people truly devoted to them. So instead of trying to exaggerate any minor ne... more.

In this weeks podcast, Arsen is back and catches up with his comments on Mass Effect 2's ending. We then have a lengthy "What you been playing?" section which includes demos, Heavy Rain, new internet sensation Chat Roulette, and more. We then end the show with the crazy news stories that came out of this week's headlines. The NSFW Chat Roulette related link that Arsen sent to Matt and I can be ... more.

When I was asked to review Risen, I actually had not even heard of the game before. It was made by Piranha Bytes, the developers responsible for the Gothic series, and had been released last year on the PC. While there are definitely some graphical hangups and some minor control issues, Risen ended up impressing me more than I thought it would. Though I can't recommend this game to just anyone, pe... more.

The Comic Con that won't give up. Now I know that sounds a bit extreme, but here in New York the weather has been just that. With snow piling up the New York Comic Book Marketplace is making sure that it's doors will be open for it's annual event and I'll be making sure to bring any and all news from the show floor. You can check out the website here: www.nycbm.com... more.

iPhone game centric site Slide to Play has put up a video of some hands on time with Street Fighter IV on the iPhone. While things look great, it seems like it's going to be a huge pain to pull off the special moves.  According to Gamepro, it's scheduled to come out in March and will cost $9.99, featuring seven of the franchise's usual cast of characters: Ryu, Ken, Guile, Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim... more.

This weeks episode is the next to last time we'll be talking about Mass Effect 2 (aside from future DLC of course). Arsen couldn't make it this time so we'll give him a chance to talk about his ME2 experience in a couple weeks. Matt and I spoil the last half of this epic game and finish things off with a short discussion on some of the other things I've been playing recently. Intro and outro... more.

In anticipation for the upcoming Starcraft II beta, my roommate and I decided to buy the first one again digitally off the Blizzard Store. After figuring out strange work arounds to get the game to display correctly in Windows 7, we were once again stuck playing this 11 year old game for hours. Yesterday marked when Blizzard finally let people in to the highly anticipated sequel to what appears... more.

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.

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.

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.
