Sony Press Conference Recap E3 Expo 2013
Sony came out swinging in last night’s E3 press conference and might have just “won” E3. After Microsoft’s event earlier in the day (and the announcement that the Xbox One would cost $499) Sony needed very little help to make sure people saw that they were indeed a gaming machine first, and to rebut a few of the rumors that they would follow Microsoft with an always-online or DRM-heavy strategy. The main chunk of Sony’s event was dedicated to laying out the future of all three of their platforms, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 4. In a brief
The Walking Dead Ep 5 RECAP (Spoilers)
Episode 5 “No Time Left” brings Telltale Games’ Walking Dead Season One to its tragic end. Following tradition Telltale has put together some spoiler heavy statistics on the game tracked player decisions. Everything you’ve been through over the previous four episodes comes to a head in episode 5. The “choose your own adventure” nature of the game dictates different outcomes for different players resulting in a limited number of track-able player choices. Of the seven decisions tracked by the game four deal directly with Clementine, our tiny heroine, while the other three affect Lee. 64% of players, myself included, chose Christa
Best Games of 2012 from the COIN-OP TV Team
2012 was a dynamic year for the video game player — we saw many groundbreaking titles released, many hyped games delayed into 2013 and most recently the release of a new console in the Nintendo Wii U. Being a gamer has never been more satisfying with so many options on the console systems, windows/mac and handheld/mobile devices. It is truly refreshing to see so many great games come out in the span of a year even if there were plenty of ‘stinkers’ as well. While it is difficult to get our hands-on EVERY game that has come out in 2012
The Walking Dead Episode 5 – (Non-Spoiler) Review
The Walking Dead Episode 5 is the finale of Telltale Games’ amazing zombie point-and-click adventure. Episode 5 is aptly sub-titled “No Time Left” as it’s the shortest and most action oriented episode of the series, a sprint to the finish. Episode 5 is a shock the player’s system. It breaks from the established pattern of a dialogue driven story to let action move things along. The transition is fitting and feels just right given the circumstances you’re faced with. Episode 5 centers around Lee’s frantic search and rescue mission, he must save Clementine before time runs out. Forgoing the traditional

The Walking Dead Episode 4 – Review
The Walking Dead Episode 4 picks up the story right after the events of Episode 3. The survivors arrive in Savannah in search of Clementine‘s parents, a boat and hopefully salvation. Things quickly take a turn for the terrible as the Savannah welcome wagon is actually just a crap load of zombies. It seems that all the good things that we can say about Telltale’s The Walking Dead series have already been said. That will make writing another glowing review a bit of a challenge. In short: Anyone who isn’t playing Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead game should be. With

The Walking Dead Episode 3 – Review
The Walking Dead Episode 3 picks up the story of Lee, Clementine, and the rest of the small group of survivors shortly after the conclusion of Episode 2. Still living in a motor lodge our small band find themselves besieged by bandits. The situation goes from bad to worse with events unfolding that force them out on the road. Reviewing an episodic game in pieces is an odd proposition. So much stays the same from episode to episode and it stands to reason that if the first two of this five part game received high marks the third will as
