The Games of June 2012
June seems like it’s going to be a slow and likely disappointing gaming month for most of us here at Warp Zoned. But have no fear: E3 will have you looking to the future! Sadly, it’s a future that’s likely still a year off, but it’s still something to look forward to. But for now, here’s what we plan on playing for the next 30 days! (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in May 2012
Well, another month has come to a close, and the Warp Zoned crew is here to tell you all about our dirty little gaming secrets!

Sleeping Dogs: Taking It For a Walk With Producer Dan Sochan
Sleeping Dogs was playable at PAX East this year, and as we were playing, we got a chance to talk with Dan Sochan, a Producer at developer United Front Games. Sochan was friendly and informative, and gave us tidbits about the game as we took protagonist Wei Shen out and smashed some enemies into anything we could on the streets of Hong Kong. Read on for more about this amazing upcoming game. (more…)

The Games of May 2012
Well it seems that there’s a majority agreement here on one thing about May: most of the WZ staff is excited about Diablo III! It’s nearly unanimous excitement. Other than that, it looks like most of us will be hanging out with Max Payne, trying to work our way around Westeros, and maybe even checking out the RPG fantasy game Dragon’s Dogma. All this and more is going on this month at Warp Zoned – read on for more! (more…)

Double Dragon: Neon Interview: Mixing It Up With Majesco’s Pete Rosky
A surefire way to build buzz for your retro-tinged throwback game is to announce that it’ll be playable on the PAX show floor just a few hours before the doors open. It worked for Duke Nukem Forever at PAX Prime 2010 and it worked for Double Dragon: Neon, which made its debut at this year’s PAX East.
After getting some hands-on time with the game, we were able to sit down with Pete Rosky, an Assistant Product Manager at Majesco, the game’s publisher. During our short chat, we talked about the genesis of the game, weapons, enemies, and a certain actress who everyone agrees is the boss. (more…)

Mass Effect 3 Review: Is It A Shepard… or the Sheep?
Finally, Mass Effect 3 is here, and has smashed into the face of the gaming public like a ship traveling through a Mass Relay station. It seemed like BioWare couldn’t push this title out fast enough after the impressive Mass Effect 2, but they may have taken mach speed too seriously and lost some vital components. We’ve got the long and short of it, pitting a Paragon against a Renegade for an important debate on the recently-docked Mass Effect 3. Is the game as polished as Joker keeps the Normandy, or did BioWare’s shields sustain too much heavy fire while working towards their trilogy-capping title? (more…)
