To celebrate Quakecon 2012 iD Software & Bethesda are both kicking in to bring you the most kick ass gaming deal of the year folks. For $99 on Steam you get practically all the titles from both studios. But I won't bother you with any more details than the actual games you will get. *Ahem*

Oh right and Dawnguard is now available on Steam for download. Its $20. Yeah so I bothered you with one more detail. Totally worth it.

Been playing a brand new iPhone game called Jurrasic Park Builder. Its essentially a My Town 2 or Farmville type freemium game. It follows the same freemium tropes in that you have limited resources, things take time to build and you wait. Like many freemium games you can pay if things progress too slowly.

I picked up the game because I have a special place in my heart for Jurassic Park. In the end the game is fun, but like all other freemium games it won't hold my fancy for long. That said this game is a bit different as it is much faster paced. For instance, I can collect the money from my Dinosaur exhibits much faster and have more than other freemium games(see...

Disney released Fix-it Felix Jr. today for free on iOS. Fix-it Felix Jr. is the feux movie game from the new Disney movie "Wreck it Ralph." Awesome they are releasing this for free as a movie tie in. Typically, video game movies are senseless tie ins to cash in on the movie craze but this is more fun than that.

The sounds and graphics are retro and the premise is awesomely familiar to Donkey Kong. That said, after I heard about it I downloaded it immediately and its quite fun. Unfortunately its iPhone only at this point so Androids are out of luck. But look on the upside you can still watch the video!

As I was on YouTube finding the clip to put on this post I read a... Read All

As I was playing Skyrim for a bit last night I found some Giants. After dying twice by a giant clubbing to the head(apparently they don't like it if you shoot them with arrows) I decided to just explore the countryside. As I was exploring, a Mammoth dropped from the sky and died. It was an odd sight to behold. I wonder if skydiving was the Mammoth's dream and it forgot to wear a parachute? Maybe it was being ejected from an Alien spaceship? Perhaps it was catapulted by Giants?

Either case it was awesome and random. Oh and I found a cart on a road with cabbages spilled everywhere.

What kinds of strangeness or general awesomery have you experience in Skryim? Catapulting... Read All

It took longer than two weeks, but it looks like starting in November Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO is going the free-to-play route. According to the article, free players will be able to play through all the class story lines but be limited on what flashpoints (think instances or raids) they can do and have limited access to the auction house.

Warsow is a free Open Source shooter that has been in development for 7 years and recently just released 1.0. It boats a hefty selection of features and looks incredible. I am going to check it out, but I wanted to let everyone know it went 1.0 so you can check it out.

Oh right, did I mention it is free?

A few Skyrim news bits I thought were worth sharing. Looks like Bethesda is starting to move its 1.7 update patch through the works. It will be released on XBox 360, PS3 and Steam and contains a few notable bits including stability fixes, general optimizations, bug fixes and updates the the dragon shouts via Kinect.

Also looks like later this week Bethesda will be talking about the release date for Dawnguard on PS3 and Steam. Looks like the XBox 360 exclusive lockout window is over and my guess is they will talk about it when they show next week at Quakecon. Well, not entirely my guess a few have speculated about it.

Oh and do phone solicitors bother you? Respond as a... Read All
