After an unexpected absence we have returned. And this week we talk of games, conventions, and old TV shows.
A lot can be said about what happens at a convention. But they say a picture says a 1000 words, and I don't feel like describing 1000's of things (right now). So instead check out the pictures we took at Animeland Wasabi this year.
At the 2013 E3 Ubisoft showed off The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot in which you storm other player's castles to gain loot and build your own castle with traps and monsters.
In the beta you have the option to play one of four characters. You have Sir Painhammer the boastful Knight, Blackeye Bogart the enigmatic Archer, The Earl of Evilosity (a Mage), and The Runaway who rocks her axe like none other. Each has their own pros and cons for getting past the cruel defenses that other players will have setup to protect their treasure.
Read MoreAt the E3 2013 Sony Press conference there was a trailer that showed, what I believe to have been, werewolves attacking an armed carriage. Well I have not seen much since then, and today I notice there is a new trailer. It talks about the The Orders' age (a bit) and its long standing mission. It talks about the new world and challenges it finds itself it. I could go on, but why? Here is the trailer. Enjoy.
So I am a big can of the inFAMOUS games, and as such I feel that I have been neglecting news on Second Son. It comes out in just under a month for the PS4. And we have mostly seen the cool smoke / fire powers that our protagonist, Delsin Rowe, has. But what is a good inFAMOUS game without options. And with that in mind they have provided us the Neon power. And it looks amazing.
Titanfall, the big new game coming from Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, is coming out for Xbox One and PC March 11, and it actually seems to be worth our time. You have probably seen your fair share of Titanfall by now, but just in case you have not, or only seen the super clean trailers here is what it is like to have a Titan actually fall from orbit.
Read MoreIt has been a long time coming (and is still not all the way complete), but we have our Game of the Year awards for 2013. Again we changed up the formula a bit, but it is all fun.
Animeland Wasabi is back, running from 2/28 - 3/2, and this year they have grown quite a bit. They have moved hotels to the Crowne Plaza at 1-70 and Chamber, which is actually the hotel they used several years ago when they were just starting out. This means that they have a much larger area to state things, and a hotel staff that is used to dealing with conventions of this magnitude. We can also expect an easier place to navigate along with, hopefully, more clearly labeled panel rooms.
