Review: Turtle Beach M5 mobile gaming headset

What do you think when you think turtle beach? Overpriced, problematic or too many models to choose from? I have thought all of the above at some point. I would love to purchase the XP500 but currently I cannot fit that into my budget. Their HDMI adapter does not come with the already expensive models so you have to purchase that separately. Which model do I really need? All these questions always plague my mind when I need a new headset and contemplate buying Turtle Beach. Recently I purchased a headset I didn’t need to think too hard about or too long. The Turtle Beach M5 mobile gaming headset.

Darksiders 2 Seeing the Light of Day on August 14th

Darksiders 2 was suppose to be released on June 26th. Unfortunately THQ announced that it wouldn’t be able to meet the originally intended street date, which is all too common in the industry. Brian Farrell, THQ CEO, hoped that the delayed was a  ”demonstration of our commitment to quality.” Now the Apacolypse-themed action-adventure game is set to be released on August 14th, which Farrell says, “is a more favorable release window.”

Darksiders 2 already has over five times the amount of pre-orders than the original, which seemed to gain a lot of popularity due to word of mouth. This is surely good news for THQ, considering they saw a net loss of $239.9 million for there last fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2012. They intend to double their marketing spend in hopes that Darksiders 2 will be a hit game that can get them out of the grave they have seemed to dig for themselves. However, does anybody else find it kind of ominous that the main character of the game is Death, the fourth and final horseman of the Apocalypse?

REVIEW: The Walking Dead: Episode 1 – A New Day

 

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 – A New Day is one of those games that I really was unsure about when it was first announced. The reason was because I didn’t know how I felt about yet another zombie game coming out. Our society is so obsessed with zombies, and they are everywhere in our media nowadays. It’s just a genre that has been done to death. So, when I heard that they were making a Walking Dead game my initial reaction was the obvious, “That makes sense based on the popularity of the show.” That was immediately followed by an eye roll. I fully expected a half-assed first person shooter that was based on the TV show, and not the comic. I was completely surprised by this episodic game. It is phenomenal.

Spec Ops: The Line Impressions

When Spec Ops: The Line was announced a few E3s ago, something about it caught my eye. It seemed grander than your other basic military 3rd-person shooters. I was really looking forward to seeing a lot of coverage of this game, but the coverage never came. I forgot about it and was content to play the Call of Duty games that came out. Then, all of a sudden, I heard the announcement that a demo was out. I immediately started to download it and was very impressed with what I played.

The best way I can describe the game is Call of Duty meets Gears of War. It’s your modern-day/near-future military setting with a cover system. Cover works well enough, though it’s pretty hard to screw that type of mechanic up nowadays. The only problem with it is that moving from one piece of cover to another can feel sluggish. I expect the characters to move faster considering they’re, well, trying not to get shot when out in the open.

The Elders Scrolls Online Early Details Emerge

The setting of the Elder Scrolls games, Tamriel, seems like it would be the perfect place for and MMO, and apparently Bethesda though the same thing back in 2007. Since then, a team of 250 people have been hard at work on The Elders Scrolls Online for the PC and Mac. What we know about the game so far is that it will take place 1,000 years before the events of Skyrim. Most of Tamriel will be available for exploration from the beginning, but some sections will be locked for the purpose of introducing expansions.

The Elders Scrolls Online will feature full voice acting throughout the game and is played from a 3rd-person perspective. Furthermore, the gameplay will keep a balance between traditional MMO games and what we’ve come to expect from The Elders Scrolls series. So, not only will you be getting a hotbar to use your skills, but you’ll also be able to to enter massive player-vs-player combats. Some battles will even reach the scale of 100-vs-100, so “massive” is not an overstatement.

If you want to learn more, head over to the NeoGAF forum, where this information leaked, or wait until the newest issue of Game Informer.

Review: Fable Heroes for Xbox 360

 

Now I have three questions for you. Did you like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker cel-shaded look? Did you think those little sack people running around in LittleBigPlanet were cute? Did you like playing Castle Crashers with your friends on Xbox live? If you answered yes to all of these then Fable Heroes is a game for you.
