Scouring reddit, as I am wont to do, I came across this great 2012 video game release chart created by KingNL. This chart lays out many releases expected for the year in both multiplatform status as well as in terms of console exclusivity. The most glaring point this chart makes (to me) is the absolute [...]

I have read on forums and experienced some issues myself in receiving the Skylanders’ achievement entitled: “Gotta Buy Them All”. There are several youtube clips showing some trickery for swapping your save files which I have not yet tried. I contacted Activision explaining the situation: I have maxed out the abilities on several Skylanders that [...]

You may remember that I included Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure in my article about gaming trends I despise. I absolutely despise the multi-pronged marketing tactic used to sell this game because it is so goddamned brilliant. The only thing those marketing bastards could have done to be even more devious would have been to include particular [...]
I know this is been out almost a month, but hey, I just got it. It was a worthwhile payment from my old man for cleaning out his gutters. Finally his fear of heights is paying off for me. After a scavenger hunt for a Wii Motion Plus adapter (which I purchased from Amazon for [...]
Certainly by now you’ve read a review of Skyrim, the latest Elder Scrolls iteration to grace our boring Earth (unlike the always-interesting Tamriel). The last thing you need from me is to write yet another account of how great the game is; you know it’s great, even if you haven’t played it. Instead I want [...]

Looking to give someone a lump of coal this Christmas? Best Buy has you covered–Metroid: Other M for $5, free shipping. Bah.
Saints Row 2 is one of my all time favorite co-op games for the Xbox 360. It even ranks up there as one of my favorite co-op games of all time, so needless to say I have eagerly been anticipating the next installment in the series. Saints Row 3 (or the third) has not disappointed. [...]
Ten years have come and gone since the clunkiest, heaviest, and most unexpectedly-awesome console of all time arrived on store shelves. The Microsoft and their DirectX Box has seen many different shades of emotion from this gamer. First there was unabashed hatred for the machine as I, at the time, was a FLAMING Nintendo fanboy. [...]

Even I got bored with my fantasy football weekly updates. To put it kindly, I’m doing pretty good in one league and borderline terrible in the other–there’s your update. Still, things are afoot at GameDrunk HQ. I finally got Skyrim in, no thanks to Amazon or UPS. Pre-ordered through the world’s largest online retailer with [...]

Season Passes for DLC Ugh… This dubious strategy is being adopted by many and is showing no signs of slowing down.
League: Your Every Fantasy I played Child Pleeze this week, who was storming into town with Aaron Rodgers at QB and Calvin Johnson at WR. These two gents did their job, combining for 30 of the team’s 54 points. The problem, as you can imagine for Kerry’s team, is that he only scored 54 points, [...]
A month and one day is all that stands between the real world of Earth and the return to the fantasy world of Tamriel. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be released 11/11/11, and in preparation, Bethesda has been good enough to provide a few screenshots. Initial thoughts on each pic as follows: First, the map, [...]
