New Star Trek Video Game Trailer Has Gorn And Vulcan Neck Pinches

Movie tie-in video games have traditionally been a disappointing lot, and for every one that’s good, there are a dozen that suck. Sadly, it sounds like Aliens: Colonial Marines wasn’t able to escape the gravitational pull of “suck,” so it’s time for me to pin my foolishly optimistic hopes onto another upcoming tie-in, the Star Trek game which is slated an April release. This latest trailer makes it look like a lot of fun. Of course, the Colonial Marines trailers looked great too… Without having actually played the damn thing yet, Star Trek the game does have a few intriguing selling points. As you can probably tell, it follows Kirk …

Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review (3DS) :: Games :: Reviews :: Paste

Paper Mario: Sticker Star really, seriously, is all about paper and stickers. While previous Paper Mario games used the newsprint nature of Nintendo’s mascot largely to justify flat, 2D sprites in a boxy 3D world, Paper Mario: Sticker Star is origami to its core. The game’s Mushroom Kingdom is rendered in construction paper and cardboard, its inhabitants constantly discussing their papery nature. This commitment to Sticker Star taking place in a pliable reality lets developer Intelligent Systems free their imaginations to fold, tear and, of course, sticker the game into a collage of fresh visuals, platforming and puzzles. Before we get to anything new, though, we have to sit through …

The Force is Strong With the ‘Angry Birds Star Wars’ Game – Watch the Cinematic and

I have two trailers for you.  The first one is a cinematic trailer that, basically, rips off a scene from ‘Star Wars: A New Hope‘, where two Angry Birds, one dressed as Luke Skywalker and the other as Obi-Wan Kenobi, walk into the Mos Eisley bar (no, this is not a start to a joke). Diehard ‘Star Wars’ fans know that this is the scene when ‘Skywalker’ and ‘Kenobi’, are trying to talk Han Solo to take them to Alderaan in the Millennium Falcon. I’ll stop there, but will say the parody is pretty funny.  Check out the cinematic trailer for the rest of the story.  I’ve also included the …

Angry Birds Star Wars Review

The force is strong with this oneWhen it comes a franchise with as much marketing and brand power as this, you just know it’s only a matter of time until another big release comes our way. That’s right, it’s Angry Birds time again. Oh.. no, wait. I mean it’s Star Wars time again. Hang on. It’s BOTH? In what will likely be remembered as the most sensible combination of brands since peanut butter was married to jelly, two of the biggest marketing mega-giants of our time have been smooshed together in what can only be described as the biggest thing to hit the holiday season since Santa’s sleigh incident on …

Official Launch Trailer For Angry Birds Star Wars Released, Just a Few More Days – Droid

This will be the last time we talk about Angry Birds Star Wars until it launches, I promise you that. This morning, Rovio released the officially official launch trailer for the game that is set to release on November 8. They have hyped this game more than any other game I can remember, releasing teaser trailer, after gameplay trailer, after more gameplay trailers.  In this one, we get a good look at almost all of the different birds/characters and see all of their powers. It looks like a fun game, plus there is even a Millennium Falcon sighting near the end which is pretty bossy.

Angry Birds Star Wars Preview

So is the Millennium Falcon an actual bird now, or what?When news broke over the weekend that Rovio had entered into a licensing partnership with the Star Wars franchise, it seemed cool – but not nearly as cool as an actual game would be. After all – who’s really going to rush out and buy a stormtrooper piggy if you can’t destroy thousands of them by blowing up the Death Star with your slingshot? Good news, folks: Rovio felt the same way we did. Launching November 8 on iOS and Android phones, Angry Birds Star Wars will send everyone’s favorite birdies to a long time ago in a galaxy far …

Star Trek Online dev: ‘game reviews don’t do MMOs justice’, calls for Metacritic reform

Mon, Sep 24, 2012 | 18:12 BST Star Trek Online dev: ‘game reviews don’t do MMOs justice’, calls for Metacritic reform Star Trek Online developer Cryptic has discussed the nature of the free-to-play business and the relationship between MMOs and reviewing websites. The studio suggests that Metacritic find a new method of collectively appraising games within the genre. Speaking with GI.biz, Star Trek producer Dan Stahl said of the review process, “In my opinion, the whole game rating business doesn’t necessarily do a great justice to MMOs. MMOs are designed to grow over time and get better with every major release.” Stahl added, “It might be better if sites like …
