After the expected new-year lull, a trio of interesting games will be released this week. Final Fantasy XIII-2 hopes to address some of the shortcomings of its predecessor. It also adds a Pokemon-like feature, a cute Moogle, and an odd Assassin’s Creed crossover. I’m really looking forward to this one, despite the …

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and CD Projekt RED have announced that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will launch on April 17, 2012 for the Xbox 360. RPadholic smartguy thinks highly of the PC version and has often said that it’s one of the best RPGs in years. It will be interesting …

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD is still on my playlist. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish a large chunk of the game this weekend. I recently picked up The Bard’s Tale for iPad, as it was on sale for $2.99. I enjoyed the game on consoles and am really looking forward to seeing …

Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo recently posted a bunch of “Xbox 720″ rumors. The most interesting one was that it will have some sort of anti-used-games measure. Half of me thinks this is preposterous, while half of me sees this as the way the business is going. Naturally, I’d love to hear your …

Bethesda Softworks and id Software have announced the official dates for QuakeCon 2012: August 2 – 5. Like last year’s QuakeCon, the event will take place at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, TX. It’s a marvelous time for gamers, especially those that are into first-person shooters and want to hear …

After being away from home for almost two weeks, I’ve been reunited with my precious consoles. This weekend I plan on playing some Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD. I’m a pretty big mark for Oddworld Inhabitants and really want to see how this remake fares. I’m also addicted to Run Roo …

I just got back from CES 2012 and I’m off to New York in a few hours. Since I won’t have access to my home consoles, my next few days of gaming will be on my iPad. Of course I’ll be playing lots of Civlization Revolution. I’m also excited to …
