Vancouver’s United Front Games is doing some great things in this town and with the recent wave of crazy noise in our industry, United Front said “No we won’t be shut down” and kept making their game regardless of big publishers backing out of the project. While we all sit in patient agony and await the arival of this piece...
Deadpool franchise announced at SDCC
High Moon studios dropped an awesome bomb at San Diego Comic-Con, announcing a Deadpool video game in the vein of the Wolverine solo action titles. There are a lot of great feelings inside of this guy upon watching the announcement trailer for Deadpool. He’s never taken very seriously because of his hilarious nature, and overly wicked style of fighting. But the character depth is...
Black Ops 2 Reveal: Dishes, Ghosts and a Surprised Cat.
So there I was, waiting impatiently to see this big reveal for Black Ops 2 game from TreyArch and I must admit I should have just done the dishes or something a little more productive than waste that 2 minute segment of my life. Frankly, I am full of sarcasm and cynicism towards this reveal (if you haven’t already noticed). It’s not...
New Prototype 2 Trailer Shows Us Pack Leader
Along with a new protagonist and a new reason to fight, Prototype 2 is giving us a lot more additions to what was a very original and terrifyingly fun original concept. As the game’s all-new infected protagonist, players will experience Sgt James Heller cutting a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero. Equipped with unparalleled new shapeshifting...
Star Wars Kinect – I Don’t Know what I was Expecting, but This Isn’t It
Without trying to sound too much like a carnival hawker, I need you all to step right up and watch something for a couple of minutes (video credit goes to gamespot). I…I have too many emotions running through me right now to properly convey them all. I knew Star Wars Kinect probably wasn’t going to come out and set the...
Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry Launches
In the age of digital distribution and online publications, Youtube television has become a “thing”. Recently announced, Felicia Day and other celebrity geeks have gathered together to bring viewers an entire line-up of awesome indie TV shows. I am rather excited. Shows include playing table-top games with Wil Wheaton, Learning things with Paul & Storm, and even stories created by small children who have...
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, New Videos!
Today, High Moon Studios released two new videos for Transformers FoC. The first is a gameplay footage trailer that simplifies the story behind the upcoming title. We’ve all seen the massive underdog success of the original Transformers title developed by High Moon, and the hype behind their sophomore game will be high. Maybe too high. I’ll leave that speculation donut for you...
Max Payne 3 Online Multiplayer Video #1
Everyone knows that a lot is riding on Rockstar Vancouver’s attempt to make Max Payne relevent again. So far, I think they have succeeded in hanging the gaming industry on a string and playing around with our hearts. There have been a few “changes” to Payne that caught us off guard, and a lot of things that play to the love of...
Bioshock Infinite – Heavy Hitters Pt.4
We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first above ground Bioshock experience, and there isn’t any short of reasons as to why.

Finally straying away from big daddys and turning out a handful of creative and unique flavors for battle....

The next game in the franchise looks to take the players into the lives of a Native American Assassin, set during the American revolution.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Believe in Ghosts Series
The Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (or FS as I will forever call it) youtube page has had some pretty awesome vids cracking their uploads recently. Instead of posting every single one of these videos separately, the Believe in Ghosts series has finished its set of three and I will now post all of them for your viewing pleasure. Hosted and narrated...
New Sleeping Dogs Behind the Scenes Trailer
I’m a huge fan and advocate of the upcoming title Sleeping Dogs; mainly because it’s developed by local Vancouver studio United Front. More importantly however, they stuck it to the man when they were “cancelled” last year and their working title of True Crime: Hong Kong was shelved permanently. They decided that they had put too much time and too...
SimCity 5 is Official, and Officially PC Exclusive.
Deemed the “rebirth of the SimCity franchise” at GDC this year, EA officially announced SimCity 5 for PC only. Set to land in 2013, there is a lot of great attention and hard work going into this new installment. One of the most intriguing part of SimCity 5 is that the robust earth simulator will be fully functional in multi-player...
HALO 4: First Impressions With Andy “BRAVO” Dudynsky
After getting dumped by Bungie, 343 Industries took over the Halo franchise and it seemed like the entire industry was fraught with the possibility of one of the greatest franchises in gaming history being flushed down the toilet directly after the peak of its excellence. Today we were graced with the first dev diary and making of video from 343 Industries, explaining...
Assassin’s Creed III Announcement Trailer is Here.
The other day, my brother and I had a long and dying conversation about AC3 and he kept revolving back to the fact that he is discouraged by the yearly output of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Myself on the other hand, I feel that as long as the maintain the epic amount of great gameplay and evolution of the saga,...
New HAWKEN Gameplay Trailer has my Mech Tingling.
HAWKEN is a game that plays right to some of our heart strings. Growing up on MechWarrior and ArmoredCore it is understandable that the hype behind the new fast-paced mech shooter is growing and has no signs of slowing down. The team behind the upcoming title just released a new gameplay trailer and here it is for you to enjoy....
New Amazing Spider-Man Trailer looks awesome and lizardly.
I am a huge Spider-Man time and a very devout hater of the original Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire trilogy fiasco. While Garfield doesn’t have the biggest of pedigrees, I did fall in love with his abilities as an actor in the Facebook movies The Social Network and it seems at a glance that he pushes the Peter Parker character to...
The Next Chapter in the SOPA war
There is no shortage of information available on this past week’s most heated conversation topic, the SOPA/PIPA debacle. What will probably be the most memorable piece or news this year will see, the fight put forward by the world against the groups and advocates that tried to strip the internet of the very foundation that makes it truly impactful....
Resident Evil 6 Announced, Teaser Trailer Revealed
Though there had been hushed talk here and there about another main franchise Resident Evil title in development, it wasn’t until earlier this week that Capcom finally unveiled what they’ve been working on, through a three-minute teaser trailer for Resident Evil 6, containing within it almost everything you’d want to keep an RE fan (such as myself) interested. First...
Geek Badge Joins Internet Blackout to Fight SOPA.
It’s taken me a few solid days of contemplation and identity discovery to finally decide that Geek Badge will join the horde of internet heavyweights and blackout our website on January 18th. The date is unquestionably the single day that could change our entire future as not only journalists and writers, but as gamers and fans of all things the internet has...
