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.

Scarygirl’s Transformation From Graphic Novel to Game
Scarygirl is a project by Australian artist Nathan Jurevicius. Ambitious and haunting, the graphic novel follows the charming but strange orphaned girl raised by a giant octopus. The graphic novel is full of colorful, trippy illustrations – everything is very dreamlike yet whimsical. One of the most beautiful things about Scarygirl is the complete lack of any dialog whatsoever – speech bubbles have images, and thoughts and feelings are expressed through facial expressions and body language (as much as this can be done in a graphic novel). But everything about it just works – which is sadly not true for the video game adaptation recently released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. (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…)
Warpback: What We Played in April 2012
April has come and gone, and with it, very few game releases… but a lot of games played! Thanks to everyone’s backlogs and a little event called PAX East, the Warp Zoned staff was very busy this month. Read on to find out what we got to play at PAX, what we caught up on, and what Platinum Trophies were finally attained while the April showers rained down on us. (more…)
The Cross and The Controller: The Darkness II Shines a Light on Religious History
On the face of it, The Darkness II, by Digital Extremes, simply doesn’t seem like the kind of game I should be praising for its use of religion. It stars a character, Jackie Estacado, who is, by all rights, a very bad man. He wields a living weapon known as “The Darkness” that hates God and light in order to maintain his control of his New York-based mafia family. The game features other demonic characters as well as brutal and wildly graphic violence. (more…)
