There are other interesting releases like The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, as well as Sonic Generations, as well as some others. Every platform has something worth checking this week… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! So … there are far fewer games out this week than last week. And the reason is simple – we get one of those releases big enough that others schedule around it. That game is Battlefield 3, the latest entry in the multiplayer-focused shooter franchise.

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! So … there are a ton of games out this week. And despite having several big releases there is only one easy pick. That game is Batman Arkham City, the sequel to the excellent 2009 ‘Arkham Asylum’ game.

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! So … there are a ton of games out this week. Enough big releases that if you polled a dozen sites about the ‘big release of the week’ you would get a half dozen answers. My answer? Might & Magic Heroes VI,the strategy game sequel many of us thought would never arrive! The storied franchise nearly died after three entries …and many wished it HAD died when the fourth came along! With the fifth entry and two excellent expansions things were set right once again – and now even with Ubisoft messing with the nomenclature, the latest… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! Whenever id software, the company responsible for the popularization and many of the foundations of the first person shooter genre, releases a game – it is big news. This week we get not only a new game, but a whole new franchise in Rage.

The other huge release is Dark Souls for the PS3, the follow up to the fun and brutally difficult Demon Souls. Other releases include NBA 2K12, Just Dance 3, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, Disciples III: Resurrection, and more.

There are other games like the PC release of the Book/TV tie-in A Game of Thrones: Genesis

Today’s Gear Deal brings us the Lenovo Enhanced Multimedia Remote with backlit keyboard. This is an update to the previous model (the N5901). It has a backlit keyboard, rubberized keys, an optical trackball (think current Blackberry), and a “refreshed design”. It uses a USB nano dongle to connect to a PC or a game console and, once connected, provides wireless input and multimedia controls. (It is also compatible with Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles.) When the USB dongle is not being used it can be stowed in the base.

Normally $79.99, our Gear Sponsor has found a code that brings the price down by 50%. That means that until October 3 you can get the… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! This week I think we have hit the official ‘fall release rush’ in more ways than one! Obviously the official start of fall has arrived, but we are also seeing a broad list of releases across platforms and genres.

Big releases include sports games like FIFA Soccer 12 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, action games X-Men: Destiny and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD, and more.

Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! If you were to look at the PSP library and try to find the best games for the platform, two of them would be the God of War titles. So … similar to what happened with some OTHER highly successful PSP games (the GTA ‘Stories’ series), these are now being released for the PS3 as the God of War: Origins Collection. Given the originals were solid, these should be pretty good as well.

We also get the follow-up to the surprisingly excellent hit shooter game Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. The Nintendo DS/3DS seeks to… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Back in 2007 Valve release The Orange Box, which collected up the 2004 PC game Half-Life 2 along with the ‘Episode’ expansions for release on the XBOX360 (and later PS3), and added two new games: Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Team Fortress 2 was the big news of the collection … but the little two hour physics FPP (first person puzzler) called Portal was the break-out star. I thoroughly enjoyed it and reviewed the Orange Box back in 2007 and showed my kids, but it was only this past year that my younger son got interested in the game again. And since he was interested enough to use a major chunk of hist birthday… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Along with back to school shopping and shortening of days, another inevitable harbinger of fall is the arrival of the new Madden. This year’s entry seems to add more substance and deal with more issues than any of the ‘cash in’ entries of the last few years – so if you have been putting off getting a new copy, this might be the year!
