Diablo III Review
Genre: Action RPG Developer: Blizzard Entertainment Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment Systems: Windows, Mac OS X Release Year: 2012 Well I’ve been blabbing about it for months, may as well spill my guts on this game. The long long wait was worth it, while it appears many were left disappointed with the return of Diablo after [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 06-04-2012
While new games are coming out constantly, I’m still knee deep in Diablo 3, and that is the way it’ll remain for the next few months. For those of you who aren’t playing D3 or actually care about anything non-Diablo related, here’s the best of the rest. At the top of the list a classic [...]
Top 5 Saddest Deaths in Gaming
Death is tragic, even in video games. The loss of someone you have grown attached to is never easy. Even digital characters have dreams and aspirations, and to watch them go down in flames can hurt. While gaming has many ridiculous moments, there are still plenty of somber and down right horrific events in [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 05-07-2012
I’m going to be brutally honest with all of you: This week is merely a filler week in the world of gaming as far as I’m concerned. This week is an obstacle and obstruction to get to next week; a week that will truly be one of the greatest weeks in all recorded and unrecorded [...]
Stupid Cube Power Plugs
You know what I’m talking about. I don’t know the technical name for it… Power source, annoying large plug, giant cubic nuisance, no matter what you want to call it, they suck. These babies were all the rage back in the early days of gaming, making even the biggest surge protector look minuscule. These things still [...]
Diablo II – Review
Genre: Action RPG, MMORPG Developer: Blizzard North Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment Systems: PC, Mac OS Release Year: 2000 Since we are quickly approaching the glorious 3rd coming of the Lord of Destruction himself, I feel it’s only appropriate to review the game that really put this franchise on the map. The sequel to the original Diablo really expanded upon [...]
Video of the Week – The Real Reason Duke Nukem Forever Bombed
It’s no surprise to anyone that Duke Nukem Forever failed miserably in every way possible. By the time it finally came out, I don’t even think enough people gave a crap to even buy a copy. Production of this game was announced back in 1997, you know, when Duke Nukem was actually relevant. Fast forward [...]
Dark Moments in Gaming
History has had many dark moments. Indescribable horrors and atrocities have been committed over the course of human history. The Hidenburg Disaster, the sinking of the Titanic, the Holocasut, the list goes on. Well my friends, the gaming world too has its share of sad and tragic moments. I’m not talking about moments meant to [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 04-02-2012
It’s a rarity when the most anticipated game of the week is a Wii exclusive. The Wii may be down, but it’s certainly not out yet. This game has tremendous promise, being touted as one of the best JRPGs to come stateside in many years. While not directly linked to the Xenosaga or Xenogear games, [...]
Character of the Month – Pokey Minch (Mother Series)
So after writing this week’s article I’ve been on a Earthbound/Mother kick. I figure I may as well roll with it and take some time to pay a little respect to a widely overlooked villain in gaming history. This little tubster right here is the result of picking on the fat kid at recess a [...]
