The Games of April 2012
April, April, April. In 2011 you showered the gaming community with riches such as Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat. But in 2012, the year’s fourth month just can’t compete with titles like that. However, there’s still a steady stream of new releases this month (OK, it’s actually more of a trickle) and there’s bound to be a few gold nuggets in the pan. (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in March 2012
March certainly did come in like a lion and go out like a lamb! Heavy hitter Mass Effect 3 dominated a lot of our play lists in the beginning, while we went out on a softer note with the puzzles of Final Fantasy XIII-2. But it seems that most of us were just slogging through our backlogs, as we always seem to be when either we can’t afford the newer games or we just don’t care for them. Read on, friends, and find out what we played in the last month! (more…)
The Good, The Bad and The Day One DLC
One of the latest controversies in the game industry is “Day One DLC,” an issue brought to the forefront by what some consider to be the debacle that is Mass Effect 3‘s “From Ashes” DLC. Staff writer Andrew Rainnie and Editor-in-Chief John Scalzo go toe-to-toe on this issue, each explaining why they are against or for Day One DLC. They take many different aspects of the argument into account, including game budgets, used game sales, and the issue of cutting material from the disc in a sleazy attempt to get more new game sales. What’s your opinion on this matter? Be sure to leave a comment and let us know who you agree with, and why.

Warpback: What We Played in February 2012
February was a mix here at Warp Zoned – some of us were delving into old games while others were on their shiny new Vitas, tearing things up and forgetting to do things like eat and sleep. We went everywhere from Silent Hill to Springfield, hanging out with Lightning and the Prince of the Cosmos. Read on to find out more about exactly what we did during this extended leap month.
