Review: The Walking Dead (Episode 1: A New Day)
Rating: M (for Mature) Genre: Action, Adventure, RPG Publisher: Telltale Games Developer: Telltale Games Release Date: April 25th, 2012 BUY The Walking Dead. If you’ve read the Graphic Novels or watched the television show, I’m sure you have a pretty good idea what you might be in for. Even still, the name gives a lot away. Zombies. This is a game about zombies. But what you might not know that those of us more familiar with the comic or the show are familiar with already, is that it’s also a game about choices. Hard choices. These are the quick on your feet, nail-biting, choose it or lose it sort of moments that kind of define the zombie genre and that The Walking Dead is already known for. (That and if anyone ever asks where Carl is? He’s not in the house. Most especially if he’s been told to stay there.)

Demo for Fan-Made My Little Pony Investigations has been released
Randomly surfing the net (instead of getting work done), I came across My Little Pony Investigations. Ironically it became something I could write about for GamingAngels! My Little Pony Investigations is a fan created game featuring the characters from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The gameplay is much like a Phoenix Wright game where gamers play as Twilight Sparkle who is attempting to solve a crime that took place in Equestria. In the game, Twilight can press for more information or present evidence to help make an accusation. It’s pretty amazing that this is a fan made project. The quality is pretty high for it being a labor of love. Much higher than I expected. The full version of the game will be released for any OS that supports JAVA and will be released for free. That’s right, they just want you to enjoy and have fun. The graphics

God of War Ascension multiplayer announcement
Last week we were invited to attend a screening by Sony where they revealed more details about God of War Ascension. The game has a single player story mode, but will include for the first time….multiplayer. The story itself takes place as a prequel. Finding out what made Kratos who he was. A main goal that the Sony team is trying to achieve is that they are working to push the Playstation 3 to it’s limits. Adding to the game, they have created a new combat and soul system where players can upgrade their skills and weapons.

Review: Binary Domain
Rating: M Genre: Shooter Publisher: SEGA Developer: Criware Release Date: February 28, 2012 BUY Not many people have heard of Binary Domain. This third-person shooter from SEGA completely slipped under the radar for March. With titles like Mass Effect 3 and Syndicate, it’s easy to see why, but it’s a downright SHAME. I had no idea what to expect whenI received Binary Domain, and I have to say it was the most pleasant surprise this year so far. Binary Domain has everything I would want in a shooter: fun gameplay, explosions, funny dialogue, great story, and a bit of romance. If you’re a fan of these things, do yourself a favor and stop reading this review to go pick up a copy. You need more than that? Well, okay. Binary Domain is the tale of Dan Marshall, a Spec Ops member of the International Robotics Technology Association (IRTA), as he joins with a Rust Crew of various nationalities to investigate

Review – Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure
Release Date: March 20, 2012 Rating: E for Everyone US MSRP: $49.99 Publisher: Microsoft Studios Developer: Asobo Studio BUY Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure is one of those games that you will enjoy with the whole family. I love games that keep my kids and I active and you forget that you are burning calories in the process! It’s a game for all ages to enjoy. My 4 year old son, 10 year old daughter and I have played this daily over the last couple weeks. The Kinect Rush: Disney Pixar Adventure scans you into the game creating your own childlike avatar so you can interact with other children on the playground. You are able to jump in five worlds: The Incredibles, Ratatouille, UP, Toy Story and Cars in a unique adventure. Each of the worlds have different challenges and excitement. I love that you aren’t just reliving the

Name Our Podcast, Please! (Mass Effect 3 Discussion Special)
Elizabeth, Keri, Stephanie and Summer talk about their Mass Effect 3 experiences. What kind of Shepard did we play, who we “did” and what ending we got (and how well we liked them). We also touch briefly on the “Take Mass Effect Back” and the Child’s Play charity debacle. (We started having some Skype issues about halfway into the discussion, so apologies for the quality and extra noises.)

Review – Lumines: Electronic Symphony
Rating: E (Everyone) Genre: Puzzle Publisher: Ubisoft Release Date: 2-22-2012 Developer: Q Entertainment BUY The Tetris-like puzzler, Lumines, is back and this time on the PlayStation Vita. Lumines Electronic Symphony thankfully brings all the same gameplay with a few interesting twists. As a Vita title the game finds a way to implement touch controls, and luckily it isn’t some annoying gimmick. Electronic Symphony’s avatars, are the catalysts for touch controls, so they aren’t just cute little figures that dance around the corner of the screen anymore—they actually have a purpose. Tapping the rear touchpad allows players to charge their avatar. Each figure has a single player and duel mode ability. This is a simple way to add touch without killing gameplay. The duel mode ability is especially useful for sabotaging your opponent. Using the abilities can change the tide of battle with a simple touch of the screen. Chain blocks

Preview: Hands on with Darksiders II
THQ invited GamingAngels and others to a press event in San Francisco earlier this week to check out Darksiders II. The title is a sequel for Vigil Games to the well received Darksiders. As part of the community event we were given time to interview Joe Joe Madureira, David Adams and Ryan over some yummy food and drinks. We got to know each other as communities and also received some hands-on time with the game. The preview was over too quickly and now I have to wait until June 26th to see how Darksiders II turns out. When the game is released there will also be an official Art Book from UDON publishing as well as Darksiders II: The Abomination Vault novel from Random House. Vigil Games created Darksiders initially with 6 people in a garage. I remember meeting the team at San Diego Comic Con and one could pick

Review: Mass Effect 3
Rating: M (Mild Language, Violence, Simulated Gambling, Mild Suggestive Themes, Drug Reference) Genre: Action-RPG Publisher: EA Developer: BioWare Release Date: March 6, 2012 BUY BioWare would be so lucky if they ever created a series that had the fanbase and anticipation for the final game as they had with Mass Effect 3. The Mass Effect series has made a major impact upon RPG and shooter fans alike, effectively bringing them together in a delicious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of sci-fi/RPG/shootery greatness. And sadly, like all good things, Mass Effect had to come to an end. Mass Effect 3 tells the story of your Shepard’s final battle against the Reapers, taking into account all of the decisions your Shepard made from the first two games and crafting an undoubtedly massive and masterful Choose Your Own Adventure tale. I have always said that if a Mass Effect game could have the story and RPG-elements of the first game and the
