Warpback: What We Played in January 2014
January was all about our backlogs here at Warp Zoned! We were on our mobile devices, our handhelds, our consoles, and our PCs.

Diablo III Console Review: Why Buying It On A Console Over the PC Is A No-Brainer
Blizzard teased console gamers with the possibility of a Diablo III port for over a year before they made it official in February 2013. According to the developer, this cloak-and-dagger approach was because they weren’t sure a console version of the game could ever be up to their standards, and they didn’t want to officially announce anything until it was ready for prime time. But when Blizzard did deliver the game to the public at last year’s PAX East, it was met with rousing support from the press and players alike. Finally, In September, the console release of Diablo III gave non-PC gamers their first chance to take on the Lord of Terror since the heady days of the original PlayStation.
Was it all worth it? A veteran of the PC campaign and a Diablo newcomer find out… (more…)

Golden Pixel Awards 2013: What We Loved, What We Hated, and What We’ll Never Forget
2013 was an amazing year in gaming. While we got loads of sequels, we also got some beautiful new IPs, and plenty of new hardware to enjoy it all.
Naughty Dog took a break from Uncharted and gave us The Last of Us, BattleBlock Theater reminded us why we love The Behemoth, and Ken Levine and his crew unleashed BioShock: Infinite on the gaming world. And let’s not forget all the amazing ports, including Diablo III (on consoles), Fez (on the PC), and Hotline Miami (on the PS3 and Vita). Yes, this year took our breath away, and cramped our thumbs like the good old days of the NES. We here at Warp Zoned have been gaming our little fingers off the last 12 months, and we’ve been even harder at work the last few weeks trying to decide what we loved and hated about gaming in 2013. After several days of deliberation, here’s what we came up with. And now it’s time for us to get back to gaming… 2014 is ready for us. (more…)

The Games of January 2014
January is typically a wasteland when it comes to new releases, but this year is even dustier than usual as Sony and Microsoft are still in the “ramping up” stage of their next-gen console strategies. Thankfully, there are still a handful of big titles to serve as an oasis for the next 31 days, but you might do well to heed the warning of The Humungus to just walk away. Or not.
If you’re interested in our picks for the month, you can find them after the break. (more…)
