Saryn is an intriguing frame inWarframein that she’s verysituational, but she’s so good in that one niche that she’s considered one of the best frames in the game. Her ability to infect and spread that infection can wipe out even the highest level enemies given time, with great Saryn players dealing up to 30K damage per second to dozens of enemies.

It looks like I’ll have my chance to find out before the game hits shelves this August. In arecent interview with GameSpot, designer Hironobu Sakaguchi has confirmed plans for an English-languageBlue Dragondemo, set to hit the Xbox Live Marketplace sometime in June or July....

But,as some of you already know, one game that Iamhighly anticipating is Studio FYQD’s dynamic adventureBright Memory Infinite. And, thanks to this brand new gameplay trailer, said hype continues.

You might recognize a certain green robot What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than rememberingGuacamelee, one of my favorite platformers in recent memory. Alongside of solid Metroidvania action, DrinkBox Studios created a memorable world that will stay with you even after the story is over and done with. Partly, it’s due to how much charm and humor the game exhibits at every turn. Clearly, DrinkBox is a huge fan of retro and modern gaming alike, and you won’t be able to help yourself from snickering at at least a few of the clever references made inGuacamelee....

As of the Mann-Conomy update toTeam Fortress 2, which hit in late September, Valve has emphasized putting community made content up for purchase.

When processing the cross-over between the nerd and the non-nerd, a very fine line exists that distinguishesepic winfromepic failure. Such distinction comes particularly into play when individuals attempt to blur the way of the geek into what you young whipper-snappers around here would call the ‘hip-hop’ or the ‘rap’. Combinations of this kind can sometimes result inmagnitudes of awesome, but more typically yield some variety of a floating YouTube video featuring a white kid flailing out rhymes in adesperate cry for attention....
