Blizzard Experimenting With Bringing ‘Diablo III’ To Consoles
The good news is that the long-awaited Diablo III hacked and slashed its way to PCs today, but the bad news is that there’s no release in sight for consoles.
‘Lego Lord of the Rings’ Game On the Way? Sure, Why Not
At this point it should come as no surprise that any fantasy franchise is getting Lego-fied. After Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean have taken plastic brick form, it was only a matter of time until The Lord of the Rings followed suit.
‘Big Win Slots’ Mobile Game Review
Big Win Slots is an affront to gaming, and a cruel, exploitative money-sucker that you need to avoid at all costs.
There’s No New ‘Avengers’ Game To Play Right Now, But One Is Coming
When a superhero flick rakes in $207 million in its first weekend, you can bet game studios are filled with executives smacking themselves in the forehead for deciding not to have made a tie-in video game. Somehow, there was no cheap, slapped-together Avengers game to take advantage of the runoff from the box office avalanche, but Ubisoft assures us that there will be a game.
GameStop Is About To Get All Steamy
GameStop and digital PC game distributor Steam have always given each other the stink eye. The retailer even tried to swipe some of Steam’s customers by buying one of Valve’s rivals, Impulse, but has apparently realized that it’s easier to join Valve rather than fight against it.
Guy Gets Job By Putting His Face On Billboard
It’s so tough to find a job out there that no gimmick is too desperate or pathetic. Just look at a guy from Minneapolis who was so hard up for a job that he blew his meager funds for some face time on an electronic billboard, begging someone — anyone — to hire him.
‘HBO Go’ Mobile App Review
Let’s get one thing out of the way — Just because we subscribe to HBO doesn’t mean we’re made of money. Sure, you can subscribe to the premium channel in the normal way, but we just call up our cable company, threaten to move to DirecTV because it offered us free HBO on a flyer, and accept a 6-month trial of the show in exchange for staying with our current provider.
‘NearBeer’ Mobile App Review
We’d like to believe we’re so psychically in tune with beer that we can sense its presence, but that’s just not the case. That’s why NearBeer exists, to show us how close we are to cheap booze at all times.
Vita Bundled With Free Mortal Kombat and Memory Card
Sony may be stubbornly refusing to lower the price of its slow-selling Vita handheld, but at least retailers are stepping up to toss in some awesome stuff in for free in order to make the system a sexier buy. Maybe not Kate Upton sexy, but certainly at least Mileena sexy.
‘The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Tour’ Review
We swear to you that this is not a review of an orchestra concert, OK? So hear us out before you close out this window and get back to your Facebook stalking.
‘WineStein’ Mobile App Review
While just about all alcoholic drinks taste the same after enough chugging, there’s something to be said for sipping on just the right fine wine as you pair it with a classy meal.
Apple Wants To Help You Avoid Your Psycho Ex-Girlfriends
You can’t really blame her for being addicted to your awesomeness. It’s understandable that she is unable to stop calling and texting and begging you to take her back. Neither firm requests to stop harassing you, nor blocking her number, does the trick. It’s time to go nuclear and change your phone number.
