There is also a rumor going around that there will be a new Pokémon announced very soon. This may be the announcement that Pokémon Smash hinted about for this weeks episode. Also, Pokémon Smash has released a statement that there is to be an announcement regarding the upcoming game during the week of April 8th, so that is two weeks in a row that Pokémon Smash will have announcements.
Hey everyone, Atzunew back with my third installment of my nuzlocke run comics. Something to note is that for the love of God I couldn't find a picture of the mom in the style of the others, except for this half. So for now I guess just read through it as if she was knelling behind the counter and poked her head out to talk. Make sure to read the previous comic if you haven't already! I hope you enjoy and continue to follow this series:
Hey there everyone, Atzunew here to share this wonderful video I just had the pleasure of watching. This video really proves what can be accomplished with a dedicated group of people and a great idea. Watch below to be wowed. Make sure to watch in 1080p!
In the same week as the new Indie Royale Ninja Pack, introducing the next Humble Bundle - The Humble Bundle for Android 2. For whatever price you choose get four great games for Windows, Mac, Linux and once again - Android - and have it donated to charity. If you pay over the average you can also get the bonus game Swords & Soldiers. Let's take a look at all the games you get in this bundle:Canabalt is the sublime, indie parkour platformer by Adam Saltsman. It involves running through a city during an alien invasion and jumping from rooftop-to-rooftop.
Zen Bound 2 is a ground-breaking, meditative puzzler that defies convention. Players are given a wooden figurine, which must be wrapped in twine through a process of creative rotation.
Cogs is a much-lauded 3D puzzle game that gives the player mechanical structures that need to be fixed in order to function properly.
Avadon: The Black Fortress is the RPG fantasy saga from Jeff Vogel's Spiderweb Software, an indie studio well-known for sprawling experiences and intricate plots.
Swords & Soldiers is a vibrant, side-scrolling strategy game making a debut on Linux and Android in this promotion. The tight, balanced gameplay is perfect for gamers seeking a fun, casual, strategy experience.

What's up everybody? Atzunew coming to you with my long-awaited review of Mass Effect 3. This game has made both good and bad news lately and I just want to set the record strait on this game. While I will try to avoid spoilers in this review, some details have to be known for readers to understand the community's views on the game. In this article I will cover the gameplay, the story and the multiplayer. As always we try to give readers an unbiased view of games where then you can decide if it is for you.
With gameplay out of the way I can now focus on what the Mass effect series is about, it's plot. This game was intended to deliver us the end to Commander Shepard's story arc. It starts off only a few months or so after the events of ME2's Arrival DLC so players have not missed much action. With Shepard reaching out to so many wonderful characters this all seemed like a great big get-together of fan favorites, even characters that didn't have a large role. While there is an abundance of assignments for you to complete, the way Shepard seems to creepily tune into other conversations is a bit unnerving. Bioware seems to be aware at what fans thought was funny and what were things that we all remember, so when they made the game they made sure to include these types of things. For example, things like the Garrus' calibration jokes, to Miranda's ass and even an in-universe explanation to Conrad Verner's bug. We see that they really linked these events together and included them into ME3. This game has some of the most compelling story-telling I know of and some of the best moments. Some make you laugh, many make you cry, but some leave you with a bad taste.
In this new Indie Royale lightning round, buy five games from the downloadable game developer NinjaBee for less than $5 (currently only $3.74) for the remainder of the 100-hour countdown.

Band of Bugs is a fast playing, accessible, tactics strategy game. Gameplay is deep enough to be satisfying to established fans of the tactics genre, but friendly enough to appeal to more casual gamers as well.
The Exiled Realm of Arborea, more commonly known as TERA is an upcoming MMORPG developed Bluehole Studio. Originally released in South Korea on January 25, 2011 - TERA is scheduled for a North American release of May 1, 2012 and in Europe on May 3rd.
This weekend will be TERA's 4th beta test and Fazoz and I will both be playing, and I possibly obsessively. Soon after the weekend is over I will post my review of TERA as I was able to play it on this test. As it is so close to release I can assume that not too much will change from now 'till then, but of course as MMOs do it will continue to grow and get better over time.
Hey there everyone, I hope you enjoyed the first comic. Now every Wednesday you can be treated to an update on my progress in the Unova region.
Get ready for episode 4 of the AnythingGeek podcast. It's late once again so that can mean only one thing - we are getting better every week. We forget tech news this week and focus on our thoughts of this week's gaming news as well as other stuff going on with the site. For those of you who are mad that our podcast is late, don't worry! - Next weekend shall be an early episode of the podcast, assuming we get all of our articles written in time ;)
The newest Indie Royale bundle is here, offering four great indie games for one low price. For the next few days you will be able to buy Hard Reset, Jolly Rover, Vertex Dispenser and DLC Quest for less than $5 for the bundle. Read below for a summary of all these games, as well as a look at them in action.The world as we know it ceased to exist. Humanity is at the verge of extinction, living in the last closed city of Bezoar. Mankind wages war against the machines controlling vast areas of what became the 'Barrens'. Machines want to control and assimilate 'The Sanctuary' a network that holds billions of digitalized human minds.
Players follow the short and stubby tail of canine protagonist Gaius James Rover across three wild and untamed tropical islands, as he attempts to fulfil his dream of starting a circus, hampered only by pirates, villains, voodoo, love and considerable lack of loot.
Vertex Dispenser is an abstract real-time strategy game with mathematical puzzle elements. Move around a geometric surface and lay claim to your territory. Protect it by capturing solid faces for defense. Manipulate the colours of your vertices to gain power for special abilities. Balance your time between attacking, defending, expanding and colouring to survive and defeat your enemies.Vertex Dispenser features singer-player campaign and puzzle modes, team-based multiplayer and cross-platform play between PC and Mac.
What happens when DLC goes too far? Defeat the bad guy, save the world and get the girl! But first you’ll need to find coins to buy DLC to enable animation, sound and even pausing.Collect coins, save the princess and defeat the villain in classic platforming style. Collect 16 DLC packs, all showing the lengths that video game companies are going to make more money, and the possible future of downloadable content. The game also features 10 'awardments' to make you feel better about yourself!
From Thursday March 15th (yesterday) to Monday March 19th, players will be able to enjoy this game for free. While it was said to get out of the rut of "WoW clones" this did not happen. The gameplay is quite similar but the story is very good and well written. Star Wars fans will be pleased with the attention to detail with lore in this game as it expands on what is already established.
There are some things that players should aware of first before you jump in. If you already have a subscription you will not be granted an extra 4-5 days to cover for these, so people in this group sadly do not benefit from this weekend. If you have already created an account from either a previous subscription or "Friend Trial" will not be able to use their characters for this event. To me this seems like a lost opportunity for Bioware to win back players who have left already.
Lastly, players are restricted to level 15 (regular subscriptions are capped at 50) and only to Origin World, Capital World, the Fleet, all Warzones, and in their first Flashpoint. You cannot use the chat service but players can look forward to the fact that your characters will be available after the weekend so you can continue where you left off after you get a subscription. This will be a great time to test the game out to see if is worth the subscription later, click here to get started!
In my continuing coverage of Windows 8, and Microsoft's new app store in the consumer preview - I would like to review another great game that I can play for hours at a time. In case you missed my last Windows 8 review, Jazz: Trump's Journey - it is truly an amazing game with a great story and fun puzzles. The game I am reviewing today is quite simple but very engaging, it is called Wordament. |
| Windows Phone 7 Version |
Wordament is a unique kind of word game—a word tournament—where you are competing with the whole internet to be the best word searcher in every game. Every player is competing on the same board, in real time, to get the highest score. Will you be the Wordament champion?

Hey everyone, Atzunew here with the first installment of my Pokémon Black nuzlocke challenge. So here it goes, hope you enjoy. Text is color coded to the individuals own color palate, an example would be how Cheren wears turquoise so his text matches. I'm not the best artist so than rather having you all suffer my horrible stick figures I just used character art. You can click to enlarge if it is difficult to see.
The third episode of the AnythingGeek podcast is here, and being one day late it must be better than ever! We talk about some Apple news, more on the Raspberry Pi, and of course all the top video game news.

In the summer of 2011 Notch said that Bethesda was suing Mojang for naming their latest upcoming game Scrolls. Bethesda's lawyers contacted Mojang saying that it infringed on the trademark for "The Elder Scrolls". After this incident the legal battle kept going on so Notch challenged them to a game of Quake 3 for the name Scrolls. Bethesda declined. Eventually there was little news about this event until the settlement finally happened.
For the final day of the 2K Games Steam sale, as many were expecting, on sale today is Civilization V. You can choose to get either the base game, the Game of the Year edition with all the DLC, or to buy the DLC separately at very low prices.

Blocks that MatterWhen indie game developers Alexey and Markus are in trouble, their only hope comes from their creation. You are the Tetrobot: a tiny robot that can drill blocks of matter one by one, collect them, and recycle them into new pieces of 4 blocks. You also have the possibility to destroy lines of 8+ blocks in a very «retro russian» game style.
Currently there is a rumour going on that EBGames will allow you preorder Donkey Kong 3D, as shown in the picture down below from an EB store. As you can see, they are also showing the upcoming Super Smash Bros. 3D. But, as one poster said on Neogaf:
The SMash Bros. boxes next to it are a clear sign they're [EBGames] more than willing to take your $5 on anything at any time, perhaps even shit they've made up.
There has been no other news about this game but we may be hearing more about it in June at E3 2012, or possibly even sooner. Either way we will keep you updated!
BioShockBioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen.

As of now we don't know about the cost of this extra content but I think it would be safe to assume a price of $14 USD each, just like "Back to Karkand". "Close Quarters" will be release in June this year. "Armoured Kill" is set to release in the autumn but "End Game" doesn't have a clear time of release so we may see it early next year.
