Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review
All I’ve heard from people is that MW3 is the most expensive map pack ever, lol, this is in-game while I’m getting my ass handed to me in multiplayer. My argument against this is what about the NBA and NFL games that come out every year that people buy like crazy? First person shooter series are the same thing as that whether it’s Call of Duty or Battlefield. I was hoping to wrap an ELITE review into this as well but with the issues ELITE has been having I will just do a separate review when it’s operating normally. Read the rest of this article…
Ultimate Black Friday Game Deals Guide 2011
We want to help you not suffer as much on Black Friday so we put together this nifty gaming guide. We’ve spent hours looking at store ads and rumor blogs to put this guide together, just for you! You can thank us by sending something you find to us (Kelly wants the new My Little Pony game). Games like Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City & Gears of War 3 are getting slashed in half to $30. Usually retailers don’t do this but it’s a move to get more people in the door to shop. “I would expect retail to be more aggressive this holiday, as the market is seemingly saturated with top releases, and consumer discretionary is still under pressure,” said National Alliance Capital Markets analyst Mike Hickey. What other gaming deals can we expect? Read the rest of this article…
From Galaxy S’s To Droids, Why Do People Root Their Android Phones?
With Android phones now controlling the smartphone marketplace, the intense, underground discussion about stuff like ‘rooting’, ‘ROMs’, and an alphabet soup of other acronyms just gets bigger. Many people with these phones are sitting on a virtual gold mine of customization and power they’re not even aware of. It’s not difficult to do, you don’t need to solder any wires, it’s all in the software, but when you’re on your own trying to understand how to modify your phone, hopping from forum to forum and keeping a half dozen videos open at a time trying to get it done it can be overwhelming. Once accomplished though, you can become invincible. INVINCIBLE. So we at FleshEatingZipper present an introduction to the Android nubs’ personal journey through the wonders and pitfalls of phone modification. Frankly, this is the beginner’s guide I wish I had when I started experimenting on my phone.

Saints Row: The Third Review – It’s Like Grand Theft Auto, Except Fun
There are parts of Saints Row: The Third that couldn’t escape the tell-tale traits of a criminal sandbox game. I don’t know why, but when I threw the driver out of a moving truck and the camera swiveled around it as I gained control, I knew this game – and its predecessors for that matter – wouldn’t exist without the success of Grand Theft Auto 3. In many ways, this takes the groan-worthy design elements of Rockstar’s franchise and twists them to ‘hey, wouldn’t it be cool if…’ angles. What if every car you jacked could be stored at your garage, modified to the nth degree and coated in a candy pink paint, then retrieved from any of your safe houses? At any time? What if you got achievements for running over hundreds of people and driving in the wrong lane and doing powerslides like Project Gotham Racing? What if the narrative was insane? That, my friends, is Saints Row: The Third in a nutshell.

The Video Game Voters Network – What’s This All About?
For a few years now, the Video Game Voters Network has been working behind the scenes to protect the rights of gamers and game developers. While many sites have written about the VGVN in the past, I figured it was time for me to step up and give you MY take on the situation.
Founded in 2006 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), who also owns and operates E3, the VGVN has been fighting court battles all over the United States in an effort to protect games and gamers from the evil forces who like to compare our gaming to things like rock and roll, The Beatles and crack fueled satan worship.

The Walking Dead – Season 2, Episode 6 – “Secrets” Recap…Spoilers
The Walking Dead continues true to form in season two, teasing us with New York Strip and feeding us Chicken Fried Steak.
We left Glenn and Maggie last episode with the startling discovery that the Greenes are seriously bent, keeping their zombiefied loved ones penned up in the barn. Their reaction? The repercussions? The argument or explanation or reconciliation between Glenn and Maggie? Skipped via the magic of LAZY WRITING. We’ll just let all that emotional, intellectual, and moral drama happen off-screen, and pick up this episode assuming it happened, and nobody is the wiser. Cheap.

Modern Warfare 3 – Will Lag Issues And Connection Failures Be Its Cause Of Death
Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 3 or COD – MW3 as it is commonly shortened is yet another in the long list of first person shooters holding the Call of Duty moniker.
The Modern Warfare franchise has a long history of connection issues and lag, in the first few days after a release but with the newest entry into the series, those issues have continued on for many players and, for some, has caused them to walk away from the game entirely.

No One Is Buying Chromebooks
Imagine buying an iPhone and it had one app: Safari. Imagine buying a Windows-based netbook and as soon as you entered your credentials, you were ushered to a full screened version of Internet Explorer from which you could never leave. I’ve had some great times with my own Chromebook, an original CR-48 model, but let’s be fair: I got it for free. It turns out that both Acer and Samsung have both had a hard time selling the devices and it’s not very hard to see why.

I figured the audience at large would be interested in some opening hints on how best to manage their character.
