30 Sep 2010Front Mission Evolved is not just an evolution of the long-running series, it’s the most radical change in a franchise I’ve ever seen. Front Mission games are usually turn-based strategy games, but Evolved is a third-person mech-shooter similar to Mech Assault or Chromehounds. This change is sure to anger most long-time fans, but it’s also [...]

23 Sep 2010Valve must be staffed with magicians because Portal 2 looks magical. At PAX, the whole GameHounds crew got to see a live demo (no hands-on unfortunately) of the co-op campaign.

20 Sep 2010Even though I had heard a lot about Hydrophobia, I still didn’t know what to expect as I sat down to play it at PAX. I knew it was a third-person action game with impressive water physics, but that was all. Turns out there’s a lot more to Hydrophobia than just pretty water, and the [...]

This multiplayer is unlike anything else. It combines moments of slow-building tension with moments of fast-paced action, silent hunts, and high-speed chases, [...]

13 Sep 2010Dead Space 2 feels like Dead Space, which is easily one of the best compliment anyone could give any horror game.

13 Sep 2010Media day during PAX is the Holy Grail. The golden hour of no one else but other media badged attendees. Nick, Edie, and I spent hours organizing what we were going to cover during this time because there was no way to get to it all. My first choice and the game I wanted to [...]

10 Sep 2010No number on this episode, lovies. Because no number is needed. It’s taken an inordanantly long time to get this up for you. There’s a lot of love and editing that goes into compiling two hours’ worth of interviews into one cohesive show. But we suffer for you. In this episode, you’ll hear from developers [...]
