Useless Video Game Companions
February 15, 2012 | Jitterbug 3Let’s say you’ve never played a video game before and you decide today’s the day to change that. You’re all geared up and you choose a game that looks totally awesome. You make your way through the introduction and now it appears that you’re going to get a companion in the game. You think you’ve struck gold. Heck yeah, a minion! Halfway through the first mission with your companion you’re trying to kill your newfound minion yourself. That’s because your companion falls into one of the categories of Video Game Companion Suckage.

Top 5 Things to Happen in 2012 in Videogames
January 24, 2012 | Shaxster 4
2011 was a pretty stellar year in the games industry. It saw hundreds of top class titles released, and gave us an absolutely fantastic fall/winter. Moreover, the 3DS was launched, the Vita was announced, and, in some territories, released. We also saw the announcement of the Wii U, which, despite not being in the spotlight much at the moment, is out to change the way we play games in 2012.
Ah, 2012. The year of the apocolypse, some say. If so, it better be a good year. Hopefully a year good for games. 2011 was pretty fantastic, so 2012 has a hell of a lot to live up to. Here are the 5 things that I want to see happen this year in the games industry, to make it the best year gaming’s seen for decades.

Bastion Review – Build It Strong
July 19, 2011 | Fisherman 2
Bastion is a game that Talkingship has been following closely since it first caught our attention at PAX 2010. It was part of the PAX 10, one of ten independently developed games that were showcased. At that time, we named it our Game of PAX 2010. Well, the game and the team at Supergiant have come a long way since then. Bastion was published by Warner Bros. and is the first game in Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade for 2011. However, the question remains: Does the game live up to the hype?
