Warp Zoned: The eMagazine
Issue #1 – April/May 2011
Download It in EPUB Format Here
In April and May we extensively (some might say obsessively) dug into the new Mortal Kombat reboot from NetherRealm Studios. We also supplied our predictions for the upcoming E3 Expo, checked in with how the licensed game is doing, interviewed the Brand Manager of Dungeons & Dragons, and examined the removal of the OtherOS option from the PS3’s firmware (and its role in the PSN hacking attempts).
We also sliced through the Gears of War 3 beta and reviewed a variety of other new releases including Portal 2, L.A. Noire, The 3rd Birthday, Shift 2: Unleashed, Yakuza 4 and Pokemon Black/White. We hope you enjoy the first issue of Warp Zoned: The eMagazine and we’ll see you at the end of June for issue #2.

Warp Zoned Podcast: Episode 10
On this week’s episode of the Warp Zoned podcast, Mike Gutierrez, Nicole Kline, and Ryan Littlefield are joined by a very special guest – contributing writer Brianne Galli! The foursome start off by discussing what they’re playing, and I’m sure no one is surprised at this point to find out that the answer is “Pokemon!” They also talk about Nintendo’s successful handheld, the DS, and how the different iterations have stood up to the test of time – from the clunky original all the way up to the shiny new 3DS.

Rumor: CoD Modern Warfare 3 boxart revealed
Kotaku is claiming that they’ve gotten their hands on some leaked boxart for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The image has also appeared on the Electric Hydra forums.
Activision talked about the next entry in the Call of Duty series during their quarterly financial report on Monday. But aside from calling it “awesome,” company executives were extremely tightlipped about the upcoming game. As of right now, we don’t even know who’s developing the game, let alone if it’ll be a new entry in the Modern Warfare series.
Also popping up is the logo for something called Call of Duty: Elite, which may be that Beachhead-helmed online platform for Call of Duty that will “support in-game integration and bring online experiences and console play together.” You can catch this and the MW3 logo after the break.
So what do you think? Is this just an elaborate Photoshop job? A hoax? Or something else entirely? Sound off in the comments. (more…)

The Next Level: The Games of May 2011
After a wild April that saw major havoc being wreaked on the PlayStation Network and several high profile releases in Mortal Kombat, Portal 2 and SOCOM 4, it’ll be hard for May to compete. And with a slew of delays, the already slim May slate has gotten even slimmer over the last few weeks. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t on the brink of something big. So join us in la-la-land for a look at what we want to play in May: (more…)
