Sweet Suite 2015: The Nintendo Stars of Skylanders Superchargers

Amid the brand new toys found at every station at Sweet Suite 2015 was a veritable oasis of large flat screens where Skylanders danced...and blasted each other to kingdom come. Skylanders Superchargers, in the spirit of the future where the world is 100% inclusive and not racist against little italian plumbers, barrel flinging gorillas and Gamora-esque lizards with anger issues, has opened their doors to the wayward orphans of Nintendo, providing a new home for those downtrodden, scruffy underdogs. HOW CHARITABLE OF THEM!! Like any good nation protecting their borders, the Skylanders nation is only letting two Nitendonians into their new game. We'll see how it goes. Maybe some people will like it? We'll take a look at the new Superchargers game figures while we recap the finer points of the game for the n00bs.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III "Ember" Tease

Today, we can wear a device on our wrist that does the jobs of several devices that used to take up much of the space in a small backpack. We are prototyping artificial limbs and organs with hardware that seems to advance daily. Doctors are making synthetic skin seemingly from nothing. We are, quite literally, only years away from cybernetic enhancements for our advantage and personal preference...not necessity. Today, Activision gives us a look into that frightening future where "cultural lag" is merely an afterthought. This is the future of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3...

Malkovich, Paxton, McGowan & Bernthal Battle the Exo Zombies Infection

Remember that time Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Sarah Michelle Gellar led Robert Englund, Michael Rooker and Danny Trejo into battle against George Romero and his undead hordes? If you play all the Call of Duty games, including the additional downloadable content, then you do. Nearly rivalling that bit of awesome comes John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and John Bernthal battling jacked up super mutant cybernetically enhanced zombies in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Exo Zombies Infection. ...and just like that...I want to spend the precious moments of my free time playing video games...all day..every day.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide: Skylanders Swap-Force

I am a child of the side scrolling generation. Put me in front of a game where you blast away with infinite firepower against hordes of infinite enemies backed by a nearly unstoppable, colossal boss and I'm happier than a ladygeek watching Tom Hiddleston Loki it up! The Skylanders game series has been offering a similar experience for kids across the planet complete with collectible figures allowing you to transport different characters with unique power sets into any situation, at any time. "Giants" added massive powerhouse characters to that dynamic. Now, a "Swap-Force" addition allows you to mix and match abilities on the fly while beefing up the standard gameplay options and introducing slicker, high definition gameplay. So you've got new characters with magnets at the center, allowing you even more opportunity for greater gameplay, and at times, an additional "lightcore" feature making a little monster glow on its base and you've got something any toy collector would be chomping at the bit to buy. I could have jumped into this game myself, but it isn't meant for me. The Skylanders games play a lot like the LEGO series with little missions to solve, characters who will tell you where to go and squeaky clean adventure for as long as you can stand it, so we brought in my little cousin Lucas, age 5!

The Awe Inspiring Call of Duty: Ghosts Single Player Campaign Trailer

We don't cover a lot of video games, unless it is the nerdiest of the nerdy or pulls so hardcore on your retro heart strings, we have no choice, but I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic adventure (as evidenced by my recent devouring of Revolution season 1 in a 3 day sitting) and this new game play trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts is...just...the stuff that awesome aspires to be.


The franchise that has defined a generation of gaming is set to raise the bar once again with the all-new Call of Duty: Ghosts. Published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward, the studio that created the original Call of Duty and the critically-acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, Call of Duty: Ghosts ushers in the next generation of the franchise, delivering a riveting all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast, all powered by a new next-generation Call of Duty engine.

Call of Duty Ghosts


In the past, when developers have shown me kill crazed zombies attacking military personnel, I've been tempted to play. Today, Activision showed me a game with an emotional core, insane graphics and ...a soldier puppy...and I aim to play it....when I can afford that damn XBOXone...probably in about two years. I'M A'COMMIN FOR YOU.....SLOWLY!!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Video Game

So the comics are back...and the toys are everywhere with no signs of slowing down...and the cartoon is going strong, but there was still a gaping hole in your heart that needed to be filled by wise crackin' mutant turtle kids...who are NINJAS...

We can fill that hole. (all of this sounded way better in my head.)
