Ever wanted to be part machine? And then, with your newly acquired mechanical parts, go on a murderous rampage to stop an evil cyborg army? Well, it's your lucky day you sick punks! Blood Dragon is an upcoming DLC for Far Cry 3, initially thought to be a joke given that the teaser was released on April Fools Day this year.


Blood Dragon is completely separate of FC3, using nothing more than the engine and mechanics of the game it's attached to. No longer playing the soul searching, potentially psychotic Jason Brody, you take control of Rex Powercolt, a cyber commando. You're stranded on some toxic, neon island littered with robots, cyborgs and, well.. BLOOD DRAGONS. Seriously - giant bio-mechanical lizards ...

Yes, you're reading that correctly. Join me and other fellow RULers on the Fields of Justice in the first official Ready Up Live League of Legends RUL Night! I was so excited when I found out so many of our members played the game that has been quickly eating up all my free time that I thought hosting a night on Summoner's Rift was extremely necessary and long overdue. Festivities will include normals, custom games, and possibly an ARAM or two if we're in the mood. Dust off your keyboards and get your Summoner Spells ready, folks!

In order to join the game night, post here and I'll add your name to the list below. Because it's the first of its kind and still in what I'd like to call "beta," only 10 (9 besides myself) other members will be able to sign up, just to keep things a little easier to organize. It's a first-come-first-serve basis, so sign up as quick as you can.

As you all are well aware, there has been a trend slowly starting, a trend of Always On DRM. Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, here is the basics of what Always On DRM is: DRM itself stands for "Digital Rights Management" and Always On DRM is a system in which the game or device you are trying to use has to be connected to the internet at all times. There are two sides of this argument, one of Pro Always On and the other being Anti Always On. I'll give a summary of what each side sees in Always On DRM as well as give my own opinion on the matter.


The majority of gamers and the general gaming community is against this idea, as am I. The problem we see in this, is until technology has evolved to where everyone has internet that is incredibly stable all the time, that goes for the companies who own their games servers as well, this should ...

I'M BATMAN.

Actually, I'm not Batman, but it doesn't matter right now, because Warner Bros. has announced and Gameinformer has revealed a prequel to Batman: Arkham City. The new title:

Batman: Arkham Origins

The third game in this amazing game series will take place years before the events of both the previous Arkham titleswhen a young, unrefined Batman encounters many supervillains for the first time. Warner Bros. Games Montreal has taken over the franchise from Rocksteady Studios, but will have full access to Rocksteady's custom modified Unreal engine, so we'll still have the same gritty, dark, Arkham feel. (Hopefully...) The game is scheduled to release October 25, 2013 for PC, Xbox 360, ...

When Halo 4 first came out people have been constantly asking me to remake my Halo Reach Snipe-A-Mole map. So when I finally got around to it, I started building and this is the final product. The whole objective of this minigame is to duck and shoot quickly. Just make sure you do both of those things quickly or you will end up dead. Sometime this map can get a little frustrating for some people because you can spawn then die immediately, but once you get the hang of it, I'm sure you will do just fine ...
