Episode 169: Used Games Are Not the Enemy
In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers
30 Jan 2012Sometimes GameHounds is about news. Sometimes it’s about games. Sometimes it’s all about Skyrim. Actually, lately it’s frequently been all about Skyrim, … but that’s another post. This week, our intrepid GameHounds hosts — Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, and Edie Sellers — discuss one big news-related topic: Used games and their pros and cons. This [...]
E3 2011: Thoughts on the Microsoft’s Press Conference
In: Articles by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
6 Jun 2011The Microsoft/Xbox 360 press conference kicked things off at E3 first thing Monday morning — at least as far as the major consoles and developers went. Here are some random thoughts from Holy Goalie on what went down.
Yep. That time again. And once again, we’re in sunny Los Angeles. Well, actually it’s kinda overcast. But no matter, E3 has officially-unofficially begun with Microsoft bringing its Kinecty goodness to Monday morning. Starting at 9:30 we’ll be liveblogging here as we watch the event live. Come here and read what we think as we [...]

Leah’s Best & Worst Video Game Controllers
In: Articles by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
3 May 2011As you may have noticed, many of the GameHounds crew have been playing some older games recently, both in their original formats and through ports or re-releases. Nostalgia only gets you so far, though, when it’s not set up properly. In order to really get that first-time feel, you need to have the right tools. [...]

Are Downloadable Games the Future of Gaming?
In: Articles by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
31 Mar 2011I didn’t see Gears of War 3 at PAX. Nor did I see LA Noire, Mortal Kombat, or Portal 2. I stood in line for half an hour to see The Old Republic, but ultimately I abandoned ship on that one, so I didn’t see it, either. Could I have seen these games? Sure. They [...]

PAX East 2011: The Gunstringer Hands-On Demo
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
14 Mar 2011Twisted Pixel and Kinect are a natural fit. The developer’s games are always colorful and non-violent enough to appeal to any age, yet are built on a solid mechanical foundation that appeals to the hardest of the hardcore. So it should come as no surprise that The Gunstringer feels less like “a Kinect game from [...]

PAX East 2011: Fallen Frontier Hands-On
In: Articles by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
13 Mar 2011I’m a sucker for Metroidvania-style games — even though I hate that name for them — so I was immediately excited to try developer Moonshot Studios’ side-scrolling cooperative shooter, Fallen Frontier. Moonshot is primarily composed of ex-Bungie employees, so even though this is a completely different style of game than, say, Halo, no one can say [...]

PAX East 2011: Jimmie Johnson’s Anything With An Engine Hands-On
In: Articles by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
13 Mar 2011Realistic racers with realistic cars don’t appeal to me very much. If I’m going to drive around a track during my gaming time, I want stuff to blow up every once in a while. Seems like a reasonable request, right? Developer Isopod Labs and publisher Autumn Games oblige my taste for virtual fiery doom with [...]
