Snake's News - Failure Now

Aaaand another week, another piece of news. Here we go, gents. We'll begin with two big failures.MULTIPLAYER IN TELLTALE'S BATMAN IS A F*****G FAILUREWell, it turns out the "crowd play" feature won't be exactly what we wanted it to be. Remember the 2000 players judging your every move and voting for which option to take? Well, the number got cut by 1988. Only up to 12 players will be able to watch and judge you. Even better - they will be able to do it only locally. As if sitting in one room and talking about the choices was obsolete. Telltale,

Snake's News - The Nvidia Redemption

A lil' bit later than usual. I'm a human too, I have to sleep y'know. Also, I had to re-post this 3 times.GTX970 LAWSUIT FINISHEDIf you remember - the GTX970 was advertised as having 4GB of memory, despite having 3.5GB + 0.5GB in reality (don't even do the maths on this, it is a HUGE difference). Anyway, after a mass lawsuit Nvidia has lost and offered to refund $30 to all US customers who bought it.Why $30? Apparently that's how much cheaper the card would be if it was advertised as 3.5GB in the beginning.MAFIA 3: MEET THE VOODOO QUEENAnother trailer

A few recent releases have revived the video game/metal crossover, and after a discussion with a few members in the Opium Pulses chatroom on Steam, I thought I'd go over our top 10 video games that metal heads will appreciate. We'll also mention a few that didn't make the top 10 but are still worth checking out.10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2Tony Hawk's video games gave a boost to worldwide interest in skateboarding and created a craze for the genre in the gaming scene too, the controls are tight, the arcade style gameplay was addictive and the soundtracks made staying in

Snake's News - A Quantum of Disappointment

It's 30 degrees Celsius outside, everything is melting except my laptop, since I made cooling adjustments to it. The birds aren't singing, 'cause they are burning in that heat. I'm chugging down an energy drink, hoping not to fall asleep after writing this. Anyway, news aren't going to write themselves.NINTENDO N(VIDIA TEGRA) XOh boy, can't say I'm not disappointed. Because I damn am. Finally some more details about NX leaked...and I wish it was a joke, really.The console itself will be a handheld with detachable controllers at its sides, with an option to be mounted in a dock attached to your

Are Online-Only Games Committing Suicide?

Multiplayer-only games have been around almost as long as the internet has, and we've probably all been addicted to one at some point in our lives as gamers, most likely a free-to-play RPG, MOBA or FPS. Lately I've noticed a trend in some of the much larger AAA titles failing to keep hold of a profitable userbase. We'll go over a few that have failed to succeed, the few who seem to have quite literally nailed it and others who have yet to prove they're made of the right stuff to be successful.  MP Only LossesFirst up we have Titanfall from EA, now I personally

The thing about Mafia III

BUONA SERA FAMIGLIAMafia III will be released on October 7th and for me as an absolute passionate mafia lover, it comes with mixed feelings. The mafia theme always had something attractive and I remember the good old first Mafia game. A well dressed gentleman does everything to serve and protect the family of Salieri and gets more and more involved in this entire underground business that - when we're all honest - loved so much.The atmosphere of being a mobster that gets straight into his crazy everyday life:Protection moneyWhiskey smuggling Contract killingDrive-BysAnd so much more.For my part and I bet many of you as

Snake's News - Do you want some death with that?

So, today's news are centered mostly about death. Half of them at least.MAFIA 3 LIVE-ACTION TRAILER - DEATH SUITS YOU2K keeps trying to shove Lincoln Clay down our throats. I guess we can still watch this trailer to see if there's any shitty acting.VHS IS DEADSo, this day marks the end of VHS. Funai Electric - the last company producing VHS players and casettes - has stopped production of those due to shortage of components and low consumption (even then, 750k players were bought last year). That's something big, considering the fact that VHS entered the market 40 years ago. Rest
