Alright boys and girl(s), its time for some..

Magicka is a action-adventure game in which you and 3 other wizards play through and try to stop an evil wizard! Yeah, I know, but its not the comical writing you'll be playing this game its the craziness that is likely to happen when you put 2-4 people in the same game trying to cast spells they don't know how or knew possible to cast.

Example: 2 guys running from meteors

Any how Direct2Drive has the game for sale $9.95(which gives you a steam key too use for steam) and a $2 off code: "wetkitty" you also get some bonus DLC if you buy it before Jan 31.

Game does have some bugs but the dev seem to be trying to work things out as fast as they can(already on patch 4).

There is a demo on steam should go and check it out in the mean time another video...

Sony announces the NGP (Next Gaming Portable)

Sony announced yesterday at their annual conference meeting in Tokyo, Japan; 2 very important announcements.

First; the NGP, calling it the Next Gaming Platform. The PSP-esque looking console has us frothing at the mouths with it's amazing performance power and features.

Please watch the video of myself giving my first impressions of this exciting announcement.

Secondly; the Sony Playstation Suite will be made available to some tablets and mobile phone devices in the future. Could this be Sony's answer to Apple's dominance with iTunes? More on that later.

Nintendo 3DS Impressions By a One-eyed Man

This month around the time I came back to Japan after visiting home, by some lucky chance Nintendo was holding their public exhibit for the Nintendo 3DS. Now this is an impression from a person that can't take advantage of the 3D abilities of the 3DS.

Netflix on PS3/Wii/iPhone


Recently, Netflix started offering a free 30-day trial for their online version, meaning no discs. I've been doing a lot of research on how to cut the cable cord, and this is definitely something that needed to be researched to see if it could be part of the media solution if I do cut the cord. So how's it fairing?

Portal2 going Cross Platform( PS3 and PC only)


It was announced yesterday that Portal 2 PS3 players will be able to play with PC players. That's not even the best part. Gamers that buy Portal 2 for the PS3 will also have a digital copy they can use on their PC for free. Not only that Portal 2 on the PS3 will be backed up in their cloud service. Mind blown!

World of Starcraft



I just saw this on Kotaku and had to repost. I must say, for a mod using SC2 tools, I'm pretty blown away with what they are doing.
