Eric: Can you give me a little history of how The Acolytes began? John: I have been an avid MMO’er since the days of Everquest. The game that solidified my love for MMO’s was Anarchy Online by Funcom. I decided to take a stab at starting and running a guild for the first time. The [...]
Do you love Scribblenauts? Of course you do, what are you, stupid? Well, how would you feel about a sequel to Scribblenauts? Well, prepare to feel however you would feel about it (which we hope is some positive feeling), as Super Scribblenauts was announced today by 5th Cell and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for the DS. One of the big new features of the game is the ability to use adjectives to modify the objects you create. The game will be available this fall, and we’re excited like a green snake in a sugar cane tree.

“In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat’s brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat’s crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun.”
So say we all. In the latest sweet sweet Atlus love saga, Zeno Clash has been on our radar for quite a long time. In fact, we might even say that we LURV the idea of this game. It has gotten kudos from all over the web, most notable from The Brainy Gamer himself, Michael Abbot.
So, color us excited (what color is that, anyway? Chartreuse? Mahogany? Hmm.) now that it’s actually on the big white box with the loud fan in our living room. Yes, indeed, Zeno Clash is up and ready for your 1200 MS Points purchase right on the XBox Live Arcade.

Some casual gamers love Mario but found Super Mario Galaxy too hard. Will they be able to enjoy Super Mario Galaxy 2? Here are four reasons why they will, without sacrificing the overall difficulty for Mario veterans.
Apparently, we humans aren’t the only ones who celebrate the 420 "holiday." After extensive research, nine videogame characters were found to be active participants. If you are not a fan of 4/20 or the actions associated with it, please do not judge these videogame favorites. They are only trying to fit in with a cruel society that labels them as outcasts… O.K., not really.
We at the Kartel love being sneaky, but we think it’s about time for some real innovation in the genre. There is a cornucopia of other possibilities just waiting to be explored.
Room was not very well advertised or marketed to the masses since its announcement at TGS in 2009. For the uninitiated, Room was to be a more portable version of PlayStation Home. Players would create avatars, decorate virtual palaces of love, and flirt with friends through chat and blogs. All of this has ended as of today.
Sony is ceasing the development of this service. Sony sent out a letter thanking all the beta testers for all their feedback and commentary during their time in this virtual world. Oh yeah, Sony had a Japanese only beta test for this now defunct service. Sony plans to use this data to help make the PlayStation Network a better place. Let us hope they use the good bits of info over the bad bits of info.

With Modern Warfare 2 now old news, Gears of War 3 on the horizon and Halo: Reach landing in between – you’d think gamers with a love for epics have rarely had it better. You’d be right – but what you might not realize is that these blockbuster games are arriving at the expense of other smaller, less popular titles. What’s more, it’s beginning to strangle the development scene with an ‘only the biggest survive’ mentality.

"I was recently given the unique opportunity to experience the amazing new PlayStation Move motion controller from Sony, expected to be in stores this fall. This handheld device looks like a microphone topped with a goofy glowing orb. But it contains sensors that work with a PlayStation Eye Camera to track your movements in 3D and bring them to life as part of an onscreen game.
The realism can’t be matched, in my opinion, by a Nintendo Wii"
Activision has revealed the bonuses for those who pre-order the upcoming Transformer: War For Cybertron. This can’t be a simple pre-order though. Those with a love for Amazon will get a code to unlock Demolshor. Those loyal to Gamestop will get a code for Shockwave.
Don’t worry, these two characters are probably already on the disk and will be available the first day via paid DLC.
