Do you like puzzle games? They you might like this. Don't be fooled though, this isn't really a puzzle game. It is much more than that.

This game tricks you into being an engineer. It starts out all cute with these simple little puzzles, and 10 0hours in you're managing multiple plants, multiple processes, matching inflow with outflow, all while shooting lasers at giant floating pyramid.

I've never really been able to pick up coding, but I have a feeling that this game kind of feels like that. You are given a task and you begin to put together different little tricks that you have learned in order to complete that task. When you find out that your old methods won't work... Read All

I pre-ordered the Diablo 3 collectors edition last week. I got the Starcraft 2 collectors edition and loved it, decided since its not that much more than the box copy of D3, ill get the collectors as well.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/collectors-edition/

Comes with: Diablo 3 PC/Mac game, Diablo skull and 4G usb soul stone, Behind the scenes DVD/Bluray, art of Diablo 3 book & the Diablo 3 soundtrack. It also comes with some digital stuff like SC2 avatars and some exclusive D3 items.

Kind of with pre-ordering the game got you into the beta. Id love to give it a go.

This is a free to play DOTA style game that I find wildly fun and addictive! Gamers who enjoy online competitive play will probably enjoy this title quite a bit.

There are two resource systems in the game: Riot Points (RP) and Influence Points (IP). You obtain IP from playing games while you buy RP from the store. Either resource can be used to buy champions and runes. But if you want to buy a skin for your beloved champs you can only use RP.

The graphics and animations are very good and gameplay is generally smooth. My biggest complaint with this game is the community. You should either turn chat off or be ready to be trolled consistently by one of the worst communities... Read All

Cool. Can you get this off Steam or from the developers site only? I didn't know this is free to play.

I sort of expect any DoTA clone to be rife with douche-bags. DoTA was, for sure. I know because I dared play it as a lowly noob-cock mortal....

Pretty sure this is only available from Riot. I'm used to the elite being arrogant braggarts, but I have been blindsided by these apathetic verbally abusive middle schoolers. The amount of trash talking far exceeds the typical CS/HALO/ bullshit I'm used to dealing with. I'm not bitter...

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/09/2012 at 03:22pm

Lol. I think the online douchery in certain game communities is a bit over the top. Then again as long as they all congregate to one or two games that I don't play.... ;)

vdogmr25 wrote on 03/09/2012 at 08:12pm

I play this one too. It's a blast, especially when you can get a few guys you know to play with ya. It matches you with players that team up, as well, so if you have a group of five, you're almost guaranteed to play another team of five. That's when the games can get really heated.

Chowda Post Author wrote on 03/10/2012 at 03:42am

Yeah after you get some games under your belt the matchmaking system is pretty good. However, if you're a group of 5 you get matched to other groups of 5 regardless of ranking. So those can be pretty lopsided sometimes, unless you're playing ranked of course.

Looks like there may be a screenshot of Doom 4 floating around. If this is real, I am excited. Even if it isn't, the fact that Doom 4 is being made excites me enough.

@jdodson have you seen this?

Found an awesome site the other day as I was searching for phrases from Zelda games. Yeah, I do that.

http://secrettoeverybody.com/

The Secret to Everybody site takes phrases from the original games and collects them in screen-shot form for you to view. Very fun.

The fact that this website exists makes me very happy. I am definitely bookmarking it.

I know. I did the search expecting a sImple screenshot not the amazing that is that site.

And yes, I always buy more bombs. :).

When it comes to bomb bags and quivers, bigger is always better.

It is, plus its not hard to add more bombs to your bag after you up the maximum.

I got this game as a gift from a friend for Christmas. I'm told this is very similar to the Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients, but I've never played that so I can't really comment on any similarities.

The game is a mix of RTS and RPG. There are two teams and your objective is to destroy the other teams base. Throughout the map are several flags that teams can occupy that grant their side either stat bonuses, increased gold production, or portals that spawn waves of NPC controlled soldiers.

Each player picks either an assassin character (you control one character, but your abilities are typically more powerful) or a general who can command a group of minions. The... Read All

My quick first impressions from the beta (<1hour in):

I miss the old art style. I wasn't a hater on the original footage, and I think that it's okay for the series to move in a different direction, but so much of the game right now looks like the early areas of WoW when you start as an undead. It's good, its fun, its interesting, but it's not how I think of Diablo.

One thing I really miss are the old 2D sprites. They were so detailed, while the new models seems so cartooney, just like the base models of WoW mobs.

Enough with the bashing. The gameplay is spot on. It's just like you remember except they've added fun little things like environmental damage and a more... Read All

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/07/2012 at 05:36am

Awesome. @chowda said that the beta is VERY simple and that the regular game would be harder.

The original sprite art was great, but as with everything 3D is the movement ahead. Wonder how much sooner the game would have shipped if it were 2D :)

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 03/09/2012 at 04:02am

After playing through it for a couple hours, I'm very happy with it. The game play is just fun and the atmosphere is great. It started seeming less cartoony and more just... dark. Not a game to play when you're already depressed.

The customization of the powers looks like it will be really cool, as will the artisan system. I'm not sold completely on the auction house, but, eh, so what if it breaks the game.

I need to run through it again as the other characters, but I think I need to go back to Skyrim and actually run through the main quest line (213 hours in and I still have no clue why the dragons are coming back).

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/09/2012 at 04:07am

Thing with the Auction house is you don't have to use it. It only breaks the game if you or your friends use it too.

I'm not sure, it could be cool... It could suck.

What characters have you made it through with so far?

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 03/09/2012 at 10:47pm

Just the monk. I think demon hunter is next

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/10/2012 at 01:45am

I am interested in the Demon Hunter and the Witch Doctor.

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 03/10/2012 at 03:43am

They just unlocked Hardcore mode. Roguelike Diablo? Sounds like pure agony to me.

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/10/2012 at 03:51am

Some will love it I imagine.

I might try it once... Maybe. :$

I just downloaded the original Donkey Kong for the Wii last night. I had never really thought about it before, but I've never actually played the original Donkey Kong up until now. Of course, I've been familiar enough with it since I was a small child, but for what ever reason, I had never actually gotten around to playing it. Being a history buff, I decided I had to finally give it a try.

In a lot of ways, it was Donkey Kong that made Nintendo. Of course it was Super Mario Brothers which was responsible for the domination of the NES/ Famicom in the 80s, making Nintendo a household name. But it was Donkey Kong which not only made Nintendo into a presence in the global... Read All

Hey all.

Trying out Google Ads on the site, let me know what you think.

I want them to be available yet not annoying. I hope Google can provide them such that they are beneficial to you.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Playing through the game, and doing a lot of side quests,

Playing through the game, and doing a lot of side quests, the game almost felt *too* big to do what I really wanted it to: a full scale war.

Now things have happened, and the war is in motion!
