soroboruo: This is the worst time of the year for a gamer. The final 3-4 months of the year is usually packed so full of releases that most people would just shill out $100 for a Call of Duty game and call it quits. Not us!

Modern Warfare 3: Multiplayer Impressions, Day 1.
"The most anticipated game in history!"
soroboruo: Modern Warfare 3. The next in the line of colossal juggernaut of a series that Activision seems content in running into the ground. Of course, this time, the game is made by Infinity Ward (what’s left of it) and for that reason alone, fanatic aficionados everywhere rejoice.
I spent 5 hours on launch day with the game’s multiplayer, because, let’s admit it, it’s what almost everyone buys this game for.
Modern Warfare 3: Looking Back at the Predecessors
apocalex: With the next iteration of the Modern Monster upon us, I thought it would be fruitful to look back upon Black Ops, lovingly and hopefully for next year. And yes, I’m gonna tear it apart a little.
It’s what I do.
MW3: Predictions
apocalex: Okay, so Battlefield 3 has been taking up a lot of my attention span of late, not to mention Dungeon Defenders, Sequence, Payday, and a few others that have been bouncing around recently. Gaming ADD is the most EXPENSIVE ADD for a child to have.
Yes. I called myself a child.
Gaming Accessory Review: Logitech G300 Gaming Mouse
It'd be pretty sexy if it weren't for the omnipresent dust in my world.
apocalex: For gamers, the most important accessory they can invest in is the mouse. While there is a large range of keyboards, “gaming” keyboards is a market with relatively few differences between series of products or manufacturers – the exception being gaming specific keypads (Belkin Nostromo series or Logitech Gameboard series). The gaming mouse shares a lot of these facts, few “reputable” manufacturers, and very few significant differences. Because the mouse is something that is constantly being held in many games, and otherwise constantly monitored as an input device – to me, the mouse trumps the keyboard in terms of utility in PC gaming.
Arkham City Impressions: I Just Can’t Stop Playing.
soroboruo: I rather enjoyed Arkham Asylum. I didn’t think it was the pinnacle of gaming evolution, but it was one of the few decent superhero games out there. Arkham City looked even more fun, not only because it was open world, but because Rocksteady incorporated even more Legend of Zelda game design into the sequel. Right now, I just can’t turn off my 360.
Battlefield 3: Open Beta: The Aftermath
The fact that a beta is subject to the ultra-critical, circumlocutory and self-aggrandizing lens of the gaming public says a lot about the pure hype of Battlefield 3. Battlefield 2 was a huge game before the great gaming upsurge that, as much as we hate to admit, saw the acceptance of gaming from a niche position (non-nerds/geeks need not apply) to an accepted past-time that stood shoulder to shoulder with surfing the internet. The part that gamers from before this “trendy” gaming upsurge really hate is the fact that it blossomed along with the life cycle of the DS and Wii. The Battlefield franchise is a legacy unto itself, starting out in 2002 with Battlefield 1942. The gaming age was only then leaving pre-adolescence behind. The high times of babyhood, the 80′s; was past, and it was time to start going to school and get an identity. That means I have fond memories of BF1942 in the same way that I have fond memories of say, recess in elementary school.
Battlefield 3: Open Beta: The High Five / The Butt Kick
apocalex: The rules for the Battlefield 3 Open Beta (which I am violating right now, and indeed, violate every time I talk about it) are similar to the rules of Fight Club. This is one of the most highly anticipated games in recent years, well deserving of an open beta in order to test game features and multiplayer. But they state in the TOS that you’re not supposed to talk about it. Or stream it. Or post screenshots of it. Or write about it. In fact, talking about your mere participation in the beta is against the terms of service. You’re supposed to improve the game and specifically not talk about latency or lag. Wow, TOS, this is the benefit of reading you.

Hit them so hard they embedded themselves into a chain link fence.
soroboruo: If you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re not exactly the most serious gamers out there. To be honest, open world games tend to bring out the best in us. So I’m going to take you on somewhat of a visual tour of how we play our games. If you haven’t played it yet, there might be some minor spoilers inside. Nothing too bad.
