David Icke Claims That Life Is A Video Game – Is He Wrong?
Once you use the word conspiracy, an instant reaction might occur, and that is doubt. Some might immediately claim that those who entertain a conspiracy theory are nothing more than crazy – of course, sometimes they are right. Certainly, those with deep paranoia are sure to have many beliefs that simply aren’t true. For those who aren’t aware, David Icke is a British public speaker, ex footballer, and professional conspiracy theorist. As he, himself admits, he is often labeled as crazy. You might consider him the calmer version of America’s Alex Jones. With regular video updates, Icke has amounted over…
Call of Duty WW2 – Fans Are Getting The Game They Demanded
When it comes to first-person-shooters, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise has attracted a huge following. With the first release arriving in 2003, the series has continued to progress gradually, partly thanks to innovative features of which were often introduced on an annual basis. However, the approach to forwarding a futuristic era setting has come under fire from many veterans. We don’t need to look towards EA’s Battlefield 1 masterpiece to realise that a return to a previous setting would be highly welcomed. Here we delve into an article that explores why Call of Duty WW2 will be hugely appreciated and…
Compelling Director Darren Aronofsky leaps onto the stage of obsessive horror once more for Black Swan. Never lacking in power or imagery that resonates, this metamorphic waltz with the personal sacrifices of artistic perfection is orchestrated so that every note unbalances, prying beyond projection. Taking the most recognized of balletic productions Swan Lake and pirouetting off stage to tell the characters stories through fittingly a tale of woe that is allegoric in its harrowing events. As nightmare and reality become indistinguishable, vile metamorphosis eclipses stability at the price of befallen beauty in an eroding art. Nina (Natalie Portman) the pretty…
Today I’m looking at a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Dongorongo. The game is a direct sequel to Wind Waker and carries many of the same concepts, like traveling from island to island by boat. Personally, I believe it does that a little better than the original, because while the ocean of this game is smaller, that actually works in its favor. Smaller waters means that everything is less spaced out, and thus you don’t have to go far before you find something interesting or get attacked by something. Another side effect of the smaller game is…
From the developers of the Dishonored series, Bioshock 2, and Call of Duty: World at War; Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks; Prey is a first-person sci-fi survival game with enough unique qualities to set it apart from others within the genre. You play as Morgan Yu, with the option to choose between male and female, a scientist joining his, or her brother’s team aboard the Talos 1 space station on the morning of March 15th, 2032. After a beautiful introductory sequence helicopter ride, you arrive at a TransStar facility where you’re greeted by your brother Alex. He thanks you…
Doppelgangers are a common enemy in video games. It only makes sense- it is always fascinating and difficult to face what is essentially yourself. However, the Castlevania series to me has always been what first comes to mind when considering this sort of foe. In particular, today I’m looking at the Doppelganger from Symphony of the Night. To understand this fight, first we must look at our character, Alucard. The story of this game is that for whatever reason, the current Belmont vampire hunter, who defeated Dracula previously, has not shown up to face him again when the vampire’s castle…
Generally, when a game is remade in some way, it is an attempt to not only update the game and bring it to more modern standards, but also to improve on it by adding what has been learned since its making. For instance, Metroid: Zero Mission is a remake of the original Metroid and I would wholeheartedly say it is an outstanding improvement in every way, primarily because unlike the original, wherein I could easily get lost, health was hard to come by, and the password system made continuing a pain, simply updating the game with features like maps and…
The Importance of Owning A Password Protected USB Stick
They are the device that we slip into a USB port with ease, yet it can be easy to ignore the security flaws involved when thinking about a USB stick. These minute devices are becoming more powerful and it won’t be long before serious processing power can make such a device question the desktop computers of today. However, with the leaps of tomorrow just around the corner, today we look at why you should consider owning a password protected USB stick. Let’s begin. From cassettes and VHS to CDRs and Blu-ray, physical media has certainly evolved, and will continue to,…
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… No, it’s just a bird after all. Sorry about the false alarm. But with so many superheroes crawling, running, flying, and generally crashing through our universe, it is an easy mistake to make. There are only so many super powers. Let’s see… super strength, super speed, producing spider webs, wait… what? When did producing spider webs become a power that anyone even wanted? The point being, there are only so many super powers. But they are paired with our endless appetite to experience them. There was a time when superheroes were just an…

This article is for all of the gamers out there. Whether you own a gaming computer, Xbox or PlayStation you will find a gadget that you need to maximize your gaming experience. So, let’s get started with my list of gadgets that you should think about purchasing. Xbox One Play and Charge Kit This one is a no brainer as you know the hassle of buying a ton of batteries just for your controller. And then they invariably go away at the toughest of times, like in the center of an intense shootout on Battlefield 1. And so, you scramble…
Lego has made itself a very well known name since its inception, from the wood cars of their origination, to the plastic blocks the majority of us remember fitting together just right to make some complicated and largely representative spaceships. They seem to do best when they’re refitting a well known IP into their own silly style and interpretation. Exploring the worlds of such iconic characters as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and more recently, Marvel Comics, it’s only natural that with their introduction to video games as early as the ’90s, these would help propel the Lego brand…
In recent years, the alien invasion film has been pushing at the studios imposed limitations on the genre. Defying expectation guerilla productions like Gareth Edward’s Monsters, Neil Blomkamp’s District 9 and Matt Reeves Cloverfield ration the fantasy elements replacing them with something uniquely satisfying in the form of genuine feeling. Continuing the trend, there is much to admire in the low budget British sci-fi /comedy; Attack the Block. Wisely Produced by Edgar Wright, (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) and directed with disarming aloofness by writer (Spielberg’s Tintin) and sometimes actor (Hot Fuzz) Joe Cornish, Attack the Block is a…
Credit: Injustice 2 via Facebook. When it comes to a brand or franchise people love, no stone is left unturned when it comes to fan interaction. The ability to spread out a fandom across offline, online, physical, visual, and audio platforms to engage fans enables exponential growth and success. You don’t have to look too far to find online versions of games you love to play – especially when you’re craving more and more interaction with a fandom. Let’s take a popular fandom – the superhero one, worth billions of dollars – to see just how interactive it can be.…
The Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War franchise isn’t exactly a tale of consistent core gameplay. The original game was a pretty straightforward RTS. The follow-up, Dark Crusade mixed RTS with grand strategy a little bit, giving the player a map full of meaningful choices of the next areas to conquer. Dawn of War 2 felt more like a tactical action-RPG with slightly larger squad, but then it got tossed aside in DoW2: Retribution, which featured both heroes with individual progression, and armies which could become quite large, depending on your choices. The point is, Relic has always seemed eager to…
When we look back at this past year of war games, such as Battlefield 1 and the latest Call of Duty game, we see that of simulated war. But does it really simulate war? Don’t get me wrong, I have and still love Battlefield 1 since the release in October and have been playing it continuously, but it is not a strong depiction of World War 1. Yes, the story mode resembles World War 1, but more so as if it was a film. The online multiplayer is just a bunch of people running willy-nilly around the map collecting and…
Source: Jadorendr on Facebook. WB Games’ Injustice 2 got a new trailer on April 18 that highlighted the many talents of insane horticulturist Poison Ivy in battle with Batman and Catwoman and something that wouldn’t look out of place in the Little Shop of Horrors, a bit of greedy foliage planted towards the trailer’s end. With just under a month remaining till Injustice 2’s May 16 launch date, let’s take a quick look at the heroes and villains announced so far. Focusing on lesser known characters and super folk from Zack Snyder’s big screen romps, the roster of Injustice 2 is…
ArmaGallant: Decks of Destiny (not that Destiny) is a PS4 exclusive RTS deckbuilding game based around fast paced 1v1 or 2v2 multiplayer arena battles from developer Rock Nano Global. The game boasts a quick tutorial and many different elements to pick from, rather reminiscent of Magic: The Gathering, but lacks a story mode to better get to know the workings of each faction, leaving the player to flounder on his or her own on a pretty steep learning curve. The integration of RTS into what would otherwise likely be another Hearthstone clone is an interesting idea that doesn’t pan out…
We all saw the trailer for the Switch before its release day. The fact that it was easy to travel with as presented in the trailer made it a huge upgrade from any of Nintendo’s previous systems. Like I predicted in a much earlier article, the Switch indeed has replaced the 3DS for the most part. People I have spoken with haven’t touched their 3DS in weeks. This article however is not about what it has replaced this article is about how well does the Switch actually travel. For the most part the Switch actually travels relatively well. But depending…
Military strategy games might be in shortly supply, but there are still many gems to be informed about. This article takes a look at the top 10 military strategy games currently available.
Here Is How Planet Coaster Could Inch Closer Towards Perfection
Great business simulation games are in short supply and there is always a long wait before a great title releases. Whilst this genre doesn’t entertain the same following as that of the mainstream options, the audience is still large and growing. Chris Sawyer is the person we should look to when thinking about business simulation within the world of gaming. After all, he is the creator behind some of the best titles, these include Rollercoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon. A recent gem, Planet Coaster, is close to perfect, but what could make it even better? This article explores. Weather Effects…
Once upon a time you’d have probably looked to Apple for striking innovations within the smartphone market. Each new announcement was filled with new ideas, features and excitement. However, since Steve Jobs passed, we’ve seen a lacklustre approach from the US. tech giant. Perhaps as Apple’s logo suggests, there was always going to be a competitor who wanted a bite from what was once a brand who dominated the smartphone and tablet market. I’m not afraid to admit that previously I was fond of Apple’s iPhone and iPad brand. I’d take one look at the competition and quickly see that…
Danganronpa 1.2 Reload brings two titles previously only available on the PS Vita (Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair) together in one package for the PS4. This quirky mystery game mixes great story telling with a twisted sense of humor brought to life in anime style. You play an ordinary high school student named Makoto selected to attend the Peak Academy for geniuses. The other students have unique skills and backgrounds including the highest ranked baseball player and the most accomplished swimmer. Everyone attending is at the top of his or her game. This sounds great until you find out…
Maximum Games presents Troll and I (rated T), a third-person game developed by Spiral House. The game opens with you playing Otto, a teenager who befriends a giant Troll. After evil forces destroy Otto’s village, he must find a way to stop the invading horde and avoid hunters bent on killing and capturing the mythical troll. This puzzle action adventure title (available for PS4, XO and PC) promised a lot in the trailer but unfortunately, does not deliver on almost all fronts. The voice acting and music are passable, but nothing special. On the other hand, the graphics, animation, gameplay,…
Nintendo is really having a great time in life right now. They released the Switch which is selling very, very well. Time will tell what happens for this console but any positive news is a great thing for them to have after the failure of the Wii U, so that’s great for them. And they also released one of the best rated games in all of history. No, not against just Nintendo’s history, I mean the entire run of any game from any company ever. Things are truly looking great for them. But the Switch isn’t the only thing that…
How would you personally define the biggest year in gaming? Are we set for a year like never seen before? Let’s take a look over some of the possibilities. scores? Is it a year where the gaming industry makes more money than ever before? Is it a year when we get the most games released, whether big or small? How about a year where a lot of great memes follow a game (or several games) release? Well, depending on whom you ask and where their place is in the gaming world, the answers will vary greatly. But I think I…
Sonic Forces is coming! We knew that 2017 was supposed to be a return to form for Sonic the Hedgehog. We have the return to the Genesis days in Sonic Mania, and I personally cannot wait for this game! No matter what Sonic has been since the Genesis days or what he can become (hopefully all for the best) he’ll always mean the most to me in a 2D sense. That is the game series that caused me to first fall in love with video games and make them much more than a simple hobby. Sonic the Hedgehog started up…
