Exclusive Preview: Alliance 2011 Catalog

April 1, 2010 by Gato the News Robot

Through our sources, we’ve managed to obtain a copy of the Alliance Games distributor catalog for the coming year. This catalog is what game retailers use to decide what to order for their store to carry, and we are fortunate enough to get a peek at what the next year in games holds. Here are a few that caught our eye, along with their descriptions from the publishers.

PLAY D&D NOW, MY LORD

April 1, 2010 by Vanir

One of the hottest new games out on the web today is Evony. I need not go into how it is amazing. It pretty much speaks volumes about itself. Truthfully, I’m not really sure why anyone would play anything but Evony. Just in case you have not ascended to the next level of gaming, I bring to you several ways you can bring a little of the light and goodness that is Evony to your D&D game until you decide to catch up with the rest of humanity.

Cheeseburger, Plain

March 30, 2010 by Vanir

Back in my day, you had to turn in government stamps just to play a game of pong! We used to have to steal ram chips just to remember where we lived! My daddy worked on the parallel port, and worked 256 shifts manufacturing computer metaphors! And all you damn kids want is more explosions. I’ll have none of it!

My Love Affair With Tron

March 24, 2010 by Bartoneus

I grew up with the movie Tron. Okay, I’ll admit that I grew up with a lot of movies, but there is a shorter list of movies that I watched at least once a year for my entire life up to the age of 18. Tron is most certainly on that list, along with Aliens, […]

Review: Mass Effect 2

February 26, 2010 by Vanir

Mass Effect 2: It’s like Breakin’ 2 – Electric Boogaloo, but without all that messy breakdancing. You can’t do that in a vacuum. Turbo and Boogaloo Shrimp would implode. That is, unless Special K can discover her biotic abilities in time.

Will of The Forsaken (WTF for short)

February 23, 2010 by Vanir

There was a full decade of my life when I declared there were two things I’d never play. One was MMO’s. I decided this when a guy I knew quit his job to play Everquest full time and mooch off his girlfriend. The other was collectible card games, because I was astounded at how much money one could drop on them. This decision was made easy to live with by being in college and/or mostly poor. Over the last two years, both of these vows have been broken.
