Posted on March 29, 2013 by Les Major

Both Brandon here on Broken Joysticks review, and myself in Darkain Arts Gamers review found a lot to enjoy in Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. Over in Japan, a sequel is already underway to be released on June 27th this year! The sequel is called Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky. It apparently starts right where Atelier Ayesha ends off and features two lead characters. Both can be selected at the start and play out through the same story, but from their own perspective.

Who’s ready for Bioshock: Infinite? Well, the wait isn’t too much longer (for me…about 6 more hours since I’m headed to the midnight launch!) as it hits retail stores tomorrow!

Granted I don’t want Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag to be all about those naval battles, I do want to see a good “pirate” game so to speak. In Black Flag you will take on the role of Edward Kenway, who is the father of Haytham Kenway who you will remember from Assassin’s Creed III. Edward is a British pirate and member of the Assassin Order. You will take him all

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Joshua Rust

We all knew it was a matter of time before Gearbox Software announced a level cap increase. But we also pondered what the pricing would be. Would it be free for the season pass holders? Are they going to do the insane and make us pay more for it? And when the heck is it going to release? Also, at the beginning of the month they teased a new, 6th playable character as well. When is that going to release? What kind of character is it going to be? Gearbox has finally answered most of these questions – to an
