Good Morning. Watch This! 11/20/09
November 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments
I know not everyone enjoyed the original EA/DICE Battlefield: Bad Company, but I certainly did. Liked the characters, liked chasing down Serbian war criminals, and then liked “requisitioning” their stolen gold.
Modern Warfare 2 has stolen a most of Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s multiplayer thunder with it’s release last week, but after watching this trailer and [...]

SG Review: Gyromancer (360)
November 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Okay, I’m not exactly sure what I was thinking. I’ve got Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Dragon’s Age: Origins and Left4Dead 2, all rented from my local video store. And what do I go out and do? Drop $15 on a Xbox Live title.
Now that’s not just any XBLA title. Gyromancer is the bastard [...]

Thanks to the boys over at Destructoid for finding this gem. Wow, and I thought I had lots of spare time on my hands; this is an NES “remake” of the original Left4Dead. Apparently, makers PixelForce will have all five stages in playable form for download in early January. Retro gaming fans [...]

Author Note: Check your calendars. It is not Friday, and this is not a Fiction Friday piece run early. This is real.
Most of the SG staff got a curious email in their inbox today from a group calling themselves “Prayer Works Interactive”. Usually, we get spam email from developers with screenshots and different media resources [...]

In honor of the release of Modern Warfare 2, Krelith brought the staff this little video clip of the closing seconds of a multiplayer match, which ended in spectacular fashion. This SOB must go to sleep at night laying in a bed of four leaf clovers, and you’ll see why after the jump.

The Sarcastic Gamer Duelist League, Week 10 (Nov 18-Nov 24): Bounty Hunting with Modern Warfare 2!
November 17th, 2009 · No Comments
He is an anomaly in the Matrix, dodging your curtains of bullets and flung hand grenades with the greatest of ease.
He is Maximus, stabbing your Roman emperor ass in the middle of the arena after you thought you’d already beaten him.
He is tip-toeing into your room while you sleep, cooking off grenades and stuffing them [...]
Modern Warfare 2: When Does It Get Too Real?
November 16th, 2009 · 10 Comments
I vowed not to crack open my copy of Modern Warfare 2 until I beat Demon’s Souls, but seeing as every suka bliad (that’s Russian transliteration, peeps) podcast I listen to can’t help but smirkingly spoil parts of the single player campaign for me, I really didn’t have a choice. I decided to break it [...]

You See? Online Petitions (Don’t) Work!
November 12th, 2009 · 14 Comments
It seems a game can’t release any more without pissing off one demographic or another. Within hours of a press release over a new game, people are sharpening pitchforks and setting torches ablaze with something to be furious over. Whether it be Left 4 Dead 2’s extensive online protest over it’s less-than-a-year after launch sequel, [...]

Happy Modern Warfare 2 Day, everyone! It also happens to be the day your grandfathers fought the Nazi scourge off the beaches of Normandy so your chunk ass could sit in a recliner and teabag people you shoot in the [...]
SG Interview: Torchlight (Runic Games, PC)
November 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I love underdogs. I love scrappy young upstarts who buck the system and manage to come out on top. So, when I see Torchlight scoring an 86 over at Metacritic and getting positive front page coverage at Penny Arcade…well, it’s just a Irish jig fest all around.
Runic Games took some time out of their busy [...]

More Stupid-er: DSi XXL vs. PSP Go?
November 10th, 2009 · 6 Comments
I’m sure there are people who hadn’t even put their wallets away after buying a DSi or new PSP when the “next gen” version of the damn thing was announced. With last week’s announcement of the great-for-grandma’s-glaucoma DSi XXXXXL, roughly the size of a netbook with a stlyus that could be used to stake vampires, [...]

Gyro….wait, What Launches on November 18th? (XBLA, PC)
November 9th, 2009 · No Comments
Remember the “Summer of Arcade” over at Xbox Live? Games like Shadow Complex and Trials HD and Splosion Man? And then…poof…nothing? XBLA started dropping games like Inferno Pool and Bubble Bobble Neo?
Amidst the flurry of games fleeing 4th quarter to get away from Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2, a little gem [...]
