Love early Friday mornings!

TGIF. Waking up to a new BattleCry is like waking up to a coked out hooker next to you in bed.

A friday afternoon to me but still something to listen on friday rather than my saterday. And the best part is EBC is now on TAF instead of that place that shall rather stay unnamed.

Now I'll have something to listen to on my way to work later :)

Ahh something to listen to while doing the monotonous ironing! You've made my day. Back later with comments on the actual content rather than thanking you for saving me from a death from boredom. ;)

Nice friday afternoon here for me.. @ the office ^^

Great Show guys!! Big thanks from the UK, keep it up!

Comment by RunGet2TheChoppa on September 28, 2012 at 2:20pm

Awesome show guys! @TG, read that interview as it was happened and posted here that I would totally buy a Vita if BL2 came out for it (paired with FIFA and Uncharted and I would be set for a long time). Fingers crossed!

Love the title of this skirmish. I like Linkin Park's music. I also like Sleeping Dogs and can't wait to play it some more, once the DLC drops.

Comment by Alexander Arts on September 28, 2012 at 11:12pm

I got my 100% on Sleeping Dogs after 50 hours - what a fun game! With nothing left to do I put the game down but DLC will bring me back, especially with part of it being free. When a game makes you feel you REALLY got your moneys worth and you still want more, its great to have some DLC to look forward to.

As for the XCOM Demo, I played it a bit and it seems fun but the Demo is mostly just a tutorial from what I've seen. I already pre-purchased it since I love Firaxis and the original game. I got a free copy of Civlization 5 for buying it, and gave that to my friend. CIV5 is one of the best games of all time in my opinion so I am happy to share it with another friend. Most of my good friends and family already own it.

I remember growing up watching my father and uncle battle it out in games like Civilization, Empire, Master of Orion, and so on... it's cool to see some of the franchises living on!

The Axe Factor Poll!

How much does the Xbox One-Nvidia "scandal" bother YOU?
A lot. This is one step removed from the Killzone 2 pre-rendered E3 trailer0%
I don't care as long as the games look this good running on Xbox One hardware (which they probably will)0%
Not at all, people are being naive to think this practice doesn't happen all the time0%
I'll reserve judgement until we see if the games look noticeably different on Xbox One hardware0%

Today I 'ave been mostly rememberin': Metroid Games

As I am typing this, we're deep inside the annual summer gaming drought of 2013. The last interesting current gen game I played was Bioshock Infinite. I'm now waiting patiently for The Last of Us to drop through the mail slot. In the interim, I have amused myself by going back and playing a whole bunch of the old Metroid titles. And I've had an absolute blast doing so. It's been one of the most nostalgic and satisfying gaming periods of my entire life. I replayed and finished all five of the…

What is your greatest wish/expection for the new generation?

After some discussion with the axeheads I asked myself what I want out of the next generation of gaming. And my answer is suprising. |It is neither better grafics or better AI. It does not even have to do with hardware.

What I want from the next generation the most is the introduction of used game sales for digital games. As soon as one of the major platforms does that I will go all digital, never looking back.

So, what would you like to see?

Nintendo Says: If devs are worried about used game sales, they should make better games

This bold statement was made by Nintendo and features on the Polygon site.

Personly i do, considering that most of the games made today and which are gonna be made for the Next-Generation of konsoles will be like before.

EpicBattleCry - E3 2013 Special

Step one: its EpicBattleCry! E3 2013 has played host to exciting game news, dramatic moments, and, some would claim, out-and-out homicide. From EA dropping the AT-AT foot to Jack Tretton dropping the mic, this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo will certainly go down as one of the most memorable. With DK still on full-time looking-good-in-LA duty, Brent and Tony sat down to discuss Nintendo's showing at this year's show, the fallout (good and bad) from Sony and…

Sarah Is the most important character in THE LAST OF US. Here's why....*MASSIVE SPOILERS*

The Last Of Us is a slow game, intentionally slow, because it has a story to tell and takes the time to do it. Naughty Dog knows that if you're not making an "action" game, then you need to engage…Continue
