I love Alan Wake. Millions of people do too and if you don't I just have to say that you are simply missing out. The series features a very nice story, great combat and very, very intense atmosphere. Simply put, just play it. I think you might like it ...
I think it is fair to say that Last Light is one of my favorite games thus far for 2013 and if you couldn't gleam that from my review then you clearly haven't been paying attention. If you're like me and enjoyed what 4A Games made for ...
Tuesday was a hell of a day. Amongst the various conflicting reports about the next generation Xbox. One thing that's for certain: it certainly offers distinct possibilities for interactive entertainment. Relive the live commentary with Chris, Nolan and Carlos as we ask important questions and get... answers about Carlos ...
All 3 major players have laid their cards on the table. Microsoft took to the stage this morning to announce the next evolution of their Xbox platform, the Xbox One. I know what you are thinking... "What the hell are we supposed to call the original Xbox now?" Believe me ...
I really liked the first Assassin’s Creed game. Even though it was overlong and repetitive, it was a breath of fresh air for its time, with its combination of stealth, parkour, and swordfighting. I also enjoyed Assassin’s Creed 2, which took all the strongest elements of the first ...
The Ear Force PX22 is one of the new wired headsets from Turtle Beach that just came out the other day. I’ve had the pleasure of using it the past few weeks and it’s changed my opinion on gaming headsets. I’ve always used a cheap headset with ...
For those of us who love the fighting game series which can rightfuly claim to be the most heavy metal fighter there is, Arc System Works has released very good news: after nine years without a proper console release in the Guilty Gear franchise, the series is back.
Arc System ...
Crawling slowly from the fetid bloated corpse of western fighting games comes a fan title so diabolically perfect in concept that I have to wonder why it hasn't been made before… Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen, is a work …
Pixelbionic, with the assistance and blessing of David Jaffe, is in the early stages of making an online PC multiplayer game centered on car combat called Autoduel. Jaffe has joined the independent studio as a Creative Advisor.
Jaffe has commented on Twitter that he'll have a hand in guiding ...
As a big fan of the the Arkham games and the Batman franchise as a whole, I've already become quite excited for the October release of Batman: Arkham Origins. After a bit more news and an action-packed trailer, that excitement has even more merit than before.
The excitement of ...
Post-apocalyptic fiction is very commonplace today, available on every bookshelf, DVD collection and every video game console imaginable. Post-nuclear exchange stories are easily the most visible of the entire genre, especially so since our species discovered a way to extinguish us within the span of just half an hour. For ...
Goldenllama (Now affectionately known as Llama), our Subscriber of the Month for April, sat down to talk about Transformers: Fall of Cybertron with Brad and Joseph. A rather inspired choice to be honest and one that didn't get a lot of coverage from us when it initially launched. Tune ...
Oh my! It looks like Konami is going to brutally smash your bloated face with the rank effervescence of 25 years of Metal Gear Solid creamy goodness. And there isn't a single thing you can do about it.
What am I talking about? I'm talking about the Metal ...
Since Nintendo has gone and quit their position as Governer, I mean their E3 Press Conference, they are tasked with somehow getting their message out to the people and fans who are used to...you know...hearing about that stuff during E3. Reality television shows...I mean Nintendo Direct videos ...
This question seems to have come up quite a bit recently within the community. It's been said that books, TV shows, or movies have better stories than video games and some have said story has no place within gaming at all. Well, I would have some very harsh words ...

Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
This week Joseph Christ, Jeff Demelo and Chris Davis can't talk about Metro: Last Light yet! (This show was recorded before the embargo was up). But they still talk about Star Command, the destruction of the Samus' character, Wolfenstein 3D, Bob switching bodies and ...
It's been a big week for the gaming industry! Bethesda announced a new, next-gen, entry in the Wolfenstein franchise, Disney gave EA the keys to the Star Wars castle, and Eternal Darkness might be getting a sequel (READ: Spiritual Successor). We finally remember to talk about The Bureau: XCOM ...
Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
This week Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis are hipsters and talk about beard fucking, the certification process of Planetside 2, Telltale Games' Poker Night 2, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the poor questioning in L.A. Noire, the Minerva Metastatis mod for Source ...
Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE!
This week Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis talk about Dead Island: Riptide, the Dishonored DLC, Timber and Stone, Red Dead Redemption, Gearbox obtaining the Homeworld IP, Kinectimals, Joseph playing Alpha Centuri while on acid and so much more!! Get in there and listen ...
Chrissy D. comes around from behind the camera this week to join the discussion! Brad explains the wacky and hilarious Surgeon Simulator while Nick spins a tale of desperation from his time spent with Metroid Prime; a game he is now in love with. We talk Nintendo, E3, and Grand ...

(In the interest of time we've decided to push out the audio for CTT first with video coming later)
This week we have Joseph Christ, Bob Webb and Chris Davis sitting down to talk about all the best things in the world! Joseph explains ...
Want to hear an awkward story about Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon? Thought so. We talk about the recent release of Injustice: Gods Among Us, the first substantial piece of Dishonored DLC (Knife of Dunwall), and pick apart the new licensed Star Trek game. Of course, in the news, there ...
The latest game from Drinkbox Studios, Guacamelee!, is a charming Metroidvania style game that is certain to charm the pants off of fans of the genre. Nick sounds off with intial impressions of his first time playing Metroid Prime and Nolan shares his impressions of Legend of Dungeon. We also ...
Our latest Subscriber of the Month, RangerXT, chose the original Bioshock this month; a game that is fun to talk about but also incredibly relevant given the the recent release of Bioshock Infinite. We also somehow manage to sprinkle in some discussion of Resident Evil 4, his other top pick ...
Jeff gathers seven - yup, SEVEN! - staff/community members in attempt to start "The Cult of Year Walk." This wonderful game gets discussed, in mind-twisting detail here, so take a listen if you've played through. If you've yet to play Year Walk, I suggest you do so by clicking ...

This week Joseph, Chris watch in horror as Bob eats chees & bacon flavored crickets, and then to cleanse that horrific taste, talk up Bioshock Infinite ...
Nolan is addicted. Addicted to a drug called Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT for short). Batman is set to make another big splash later this year on both consoles and handhelds and Far Cry 3 is having an identity crisis (in a good way). If you have finished Bioshock Infinite ...
Jeff sits down with some lovely members of the 4PN staff and community to discuss reactions to the shocking narrative of Bioshock Infinite. Needless to say but if you have not yet completed Bioshock Infinite, I would avoid this podcast until you have.
**Want to hear what Nick, Brad, Nolan ...
Brace yourself folks, we are back from PAX and ready to talk about games! With that said, prepare for an onslaught of criticism for your beloved Bioshock Infinite! We love the game but we don't pull any punches when it comes to pointing out it's flaws. Grab yourself ...

I find myself feeling alienated more and more by Nintendo since the release of the original Wii console. I never resonated with motion controls and very few titles made me consider pulling out my bank card for the hardware (yes, including Bayonetta 2 for Wii U, much to my own ...
Electronic Arts' system Online Pass, requiring users to either buy new or purchase an online code for used copies, will no longer be used.

Post-nuclear exchange stories are easily the most visible of the entire genre, especially so since our species discovered a way to extinguish us within the span of just half an hour. For ...
Truth be told, I don’t know much about Steve Jackson’s work outside of the fact that he wrote a series of adventure game books back in the early 80’s. While I haven’t read them, I’m inclined to believe they must have been ‘special’ or Inkle Studio’s wouldn’t be reincarnating Mr. Jackson’s stories in digital form. Right? Read on and find out.
Let's get one thing out of the way. Dead Island: Riptide is not a sequel to Dead Island. Believe me, I can understand if you would think that due to its 15+ hour campaign and fifty dollar price tag. And even if the absence of a number after 'Island ...
Every generation that has come along there have been those few memorable titles that, beyond being great experiences, really makes the player put down the controller and truly consider their actions and the implications of the story. 2007’s release of Bioshock by then 2K Boston and meant to be ...
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was almost a completely different beast at one point. Originally under development by Kojima Productions under the same gaming tenants as previous Metal Gear titles, it was quietly canceled in 2010 amid development problems only to be resurrected by Platinum Games and re-introduced to the world ...
“I don't know if you've played Duke Nukem Forever. It's awesome.”-Randy Pitchford, 13 July 2012
In order to talk in context about what Aliens: Colonial Marines is and isn't, it's important to pay close attention to that quote above. The amazing thing about it ...
For all the work we put into talking, writing and playing video games, most of us are powerless when we are faced with change, especially when it comes to changes for the perceived worse. This generation has seen an almost dramatic shift toward homogenization, more so than any other before ...
Not every game needs to be a gameplay heavy endeavor, nor overly explain itself to the player. Sometimes a game can be an experience barred from the traditions of what fun in video games has been since Pong. Kentucky Route Zero may lack traditional gameplay but it makes up for it in style, atmosphere, and writing; never failing to create entertainment through experience, over interactivity. KRZ may look like a point-and-click adventure game (reminiscent of Another World), but I'd prefer to call it a create your own adventure game ( ...much more fitting). And it's a damn good one too.
Few titles are as a saturated by controversy as Capcom's reboot of the Devil May Cry series. The publishing powerhouse has been making some bold decisions with their core franchises lately by skewing their typical gameplay stylings and sometimes handing them off to western developers all together. In the ...
Anarchy Reigns might be the most innovative and daring project yet released by Platinum Games. While the studio certainly houses accomplished veterans of the characters action genre, bringing this type of game into the online arena has been rarely attempted, and almost always met with complete disaster. Similar to fighting ...

It's that time of year again.
For better or worse, November is Call of Duty month and while some are delighted to get their hands on the new game, others roll their eyes and wonder when and if it will ever end.
November 2012 brings us Black Ops 2 ...
I stand outside a closed door. I bash it in, knocking out the guard that stood behind it. I pick up his gun and shoot his friend before he can get up from the couch he's sitting on. The doors on either side of me open and more goons ...
I'll admit, I feared for the XCOM series when news struck that Firaxis was leading the charge to reboot the cult-classic, turn-based strategy game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy nearly everything this team has done with Sid Meier at the helm but...Sid Meier isn't on this one. Firaxis has done, for this series, what it had with Civilization: Revolution and I mean that in the best way possible. It's simplified, concise, and the greatest attempt of drawing attention to one of gaming's most niche of genres.
When we last truly heard from Arkane Studios, it was 2006 and they had just brought us Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, a first person action title that contained an inspired mix of stealth and action gameplay that, though visionary, still remained a little rough around the edges. In ...
