Seeing a new episode of NWP is available fills you with determination.
Welcome to 2016, and welcome to the first Nerds Without Pants of that year that I just mentioned! The Pantsless Ones come back from break with all sorts of goodies and games to talk about, so let's just jump into it.
This gorgeous remake deserves better controls.
Nights Into Dreams has unquestionably been treated with love in its transformation into HD. The Japanese exclusive PlayStation 2 version of the game has been upscaled and displayed in wide screen, making the once blocky presentation smooth and vibrant. Even the sprites were upgraded to 3D objects, providing some extra visual flair. Heck, Sega even included a trimmed version of Christmas Nights for good measure. However, the port suffers from the same botched controls found in that PlayStation 2 version of the game and the rough patches of the experience persist despite the loving upgrade.
Players can expect the title in early October alongside Sonic Adventure 2.
Sega revealed today their plans for releasing the HD upgrades to both Nights into Dreams and Sonic Adventure 2. Eager fans needn't wait much longer as both titles are planned for an early October release, with both coming to PSN on October 2 and XBLA on October 5. Both will be available at $9.99 (800 MSP) and both will offer experiences that extend the initial offering found on the Dreamcast/Saturn.
The Rock of Ages is giving away a Christmas present in the form of an update, exclusively for the Steam version on PC.
Available now for $4.99 on PlayStation Network, or for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE.
Bring the family together with Jason's buyer's guide.
My philosophy in recommending a gift isn't to pick the biggest and best single player game out there. I want to help you make memories with your family, to shape new conversations with your friends. In short, I want to point out the games I think can bring people together. As such, many of the games I recommend will have multiplayer components. I also want to note that while all my suggestions seem to be major titles, I'm going to leave some of the biggest games off this list, since recommendations for them can be found easily enough elsewhere.
A simple guide for some serious fun.
Whether you want a game for father-and-son time, or a game for the inner-detective, this guide has you covered. Who knows, maybe you'll even see something to give yourself as a gift for a job well done this holiday season...
This isn't your father's buyer's guide.
Are you tired of those gift guides that tell you to buy things for him or her? Who really wants to give someone monogrammed towels, anyway? How about a gift guide based on the emotions we all feel? The emotions native to every person out there. If you're looking for a buyer's guide you can really empathize with, look no further. Patrick's guide is here to lend a helping hand.
Esteban gives you the gift of a list of gifts he thinks you should give.
Seasons Greetings, players. It's that time of the year, when we all run out and get lost in the crowds of people to buy our friends and family that which they love, in celebration of the holiday season/to help the economy. If you don't know what to get your loved one and he or she loves video games, then you must not be paying attention. Nevertheless, we've got you covered. Here are some suggestions on what is worth karate chopping the jerk who cut you off in the parking lot for your personal lovable gamer.
