Halo 4 (Single Player) - Review

/
Bungie is done with Halo, mainly because Microsoft owns the brand. Now 343 Industries has the reigns of the series. Halo is much loved by gamers the world over. It revolutionized the console based FPS (although some may argue that). That means that 343 has some pretty damn big shoes to fill. Failure is not an option. If they do not make a perfect game then no one will trust them in the future. So did they succeed in making a not just a good, but a new legacy? Or are people going to march on Microsoft with torches and pitchforks demanding that they relinquish the title back to Bungie?

SWTOR - Free-to-Play

/

Do you like Star Wars? Of course you do, who doesn't (opening a whole can on worms on that one). Then do you like free stuff? Again, easy answer on that one. In that case then you should be happy to hear that BioWare and EA have released the Free-to-Play version of Star Wars: The Old Republic today! So if you never played it when it came out last year, or want to visit some old friends now is your time. Long time meat bag fans of the BioWare Star Wars games will also be glad that, as of today, you will be able to get the deadly HK-51 Assassin Droid. This is in addtion to a new area, the prison world of Belsavis along with a the new Operation: Explosive Conflict on Denova (complete with nightmare mode). So prime that blaster and polish your lightsaber crystals (you think OCD Jedi/Sith do that?) and enjoy the game.

Denver Comic Con 2013 - It's Coming

/

Sure it is still around 6 months away, but that does not mean it is too soon to plan for Denver Comic Con 2013. Starting on November 23, 2012 at 12:00 PM (AKA: Black Friday) you can buy your tickets. So far there are three ticket levels, only two of which have prices. Your normal 3-Day pass is $45. This allows you to the con as a normal human. It is your base, I want to go on a budget pass. Next is the VIP pass. This makes you special. You get in 60 minutes early on Friday and 30 minutes early on Saturday / Sunday. A shorter line for autograph and photo ops with guests (during their scheduled times). A shorter line for main events, t-Shirt, commemorative pint glass, lanyard, VIP Badge, and either 1 autograph or photo with a guest (convention's choice). All of this is yours for $150. This brings us to the Stan Lee VIP package. You get all the things in the normal VIP package plus reserved seating for Stan Lee's panel, special photo op with Stan Lee, one item autographed by Stan Lee, and a Stan Lee VIP badge. No clue on the price of this one, so lets just say you will need to empty you savings on this one.

Game Over - Dishonored

/
Corvo Attano has regained his honor. He has de-throned those that killed his Empress and placed her daughter on the throne. But how did he do it? How did he move from prisoner to savior? Did he become a murderer? Or did he leave his foes alive, but potentially in a much worse situation? Read on in this edition of Game Over for the process, and my opinion of how it all ended. BEWARE OF SPOILERS!

This Weeks Geek - Time or Money

/
Curse you video game industry. The majority of your blockbuster hits all seem to come out around the same time. I know that the holiday season is important to make sales, but would it be possible to spread things out a little more? I am still working on Borderlands 2 and Fable: The Journey. Then Assassin's Creed III just came out last week which I have barley played. Now Halo 4 comes out tomorrow, which due to the fantastic job Microsoft did with Forward Unto Dawn mini series I am actually more excited about then I was before. I don't have the time to get and play all these great games.

Dishonored - Review

Honor, for some men that is all that defines them. So what happens when you lose that honor? Worse yet, what happens if you lose that honor due to no fault of of your own. How do you deal with this lose, and how do you regain your lost honor? This is what Corvo, the main character in Dishonored, is faced with. He was the Lord Protector of the Empress. He returns from a long journey just in time to see the Empress get assassinated by a group a assassins with mystical powers. And what happens when the guards do arrive?
