E3 2013 is over, and Chris takes a look at what went down in the craziest week in videogames! There was plenty of shenanigans to go around this year, and we're taking a look at the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Hands-Off First Impressions: Saint's Row IV

Wow. That's all we can say. We recently got a hands-off demo of Saint's Row IV at Pax East 2013, and we were in stitches. Deep Silver is certainly allowing Volition to continue the crazy with the Next Great Sequel in the Saint's Row franchise.

Hotness of the Week: 3/19/2013

The weather's weird, games are coming out, and we're knee-deep in convention preparation. We're getting ready for PAX East, so expect lots of content in the later part of the week. For now, here's this week's new releases, and some of the major news stories to keep an eye on!

Hotness of the Week: 3/12/13

There's a whole lotta videogame goodness out there right now! Here's your round-up of the latest releases and news! It's the Hotness of the Week!

Aliens, Lies, and Everything: The Colonial Marines Fiasco

If you were anywhere near the Internet last week, you might be aware that Aliens: Colonial Marines isn’t that great of a videogame. The latest release from Gearbox definitely took its bumps in the press, and been vilified to the extent that both Gearbox and the Aliens franchise may be forever tainted. It seems the pitchforks of Angry Internet Mobs have only gotten sharper and sharper lately.

Hotness of the Week: 2/19/13

The first big retail week of the year is finally here! Plus, some major Sony news this week!

Glory Days: Arcadecraft Review

There's nothing quite like an old school video arcade. Unfortunately, these dens of teenage iniquity are quickly disappearing from the modern landscape. That's where Arcadecraft steps in. If you've ever dreamed of running your own videogame haven, this is the game for you.

KGB Surveillance: Hotline Miami

Join Pat, Chris, and Rock as they settle in for some horrible violence. We learn about Rock's distaste for all things from the Potterverse, Pat's inability to lay a smackdown, and the virtues of working in a bookstore. This is Hotline Miami.

Jones Reviews Train Simulator 2013

It sucks.

What? You want more?

Fine.

A Very Late, and Far Too Personal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD Review

While very late, Chris had a lot to say about Robomodo's recent release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD. The original games have become celebrated classics, and THPS HD looks to introduce those games to a new generation. Or perhaps to sell those games again to nostalgic twentysomethings? Either way, it's not very good. Read on for a very long and rambling look at what exactly went so wrong here.

Hands-On First Impressions: Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit

After a lackluster Summer of Arcade, there have been some high caliber titles on XBLA lately. Chris takes a look at Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit. Get ready for some adorable ass-kicking.

AGTurbo's Sleeping Dogs Review

KGB favorite AGTurbo is back. This time, he takes a look at Sleeping Dogs. How strong is the kung-fu of United Front Games' open world thriller? Does he enjoy it as much as Chris did? Read on and find out. 

Inside Man: Sleeping Dogs Review

Sleeping Dogs has the distinction of possibly having the most convoluted journey to store shelves that has ever produced a quality game. Just this past year, we saw an example of what typically happens when a game with a troubled development cycle is finally released: the abysmal Duke Nukem Forever. Put that abomination out of your mind, though, as Sleeping Dogs rises from the ashes to reach amazing heights. United Front Games and Square Enix have given us one of the best open world experiences of this generation.

KGB Radio Episode 36: Rocket Appliances!

Rock, Pat, and Zack get together to talk about Fez, Battlefield, Fallout: New Vegas and more. Laughs, love, and a bit of road noise follow.

Hotness of the Week: July 17, 2012

It's a schorcher out there! Crank up those air conditioners, crack open some cold ones, and get ready for some new games to come your way! It's the Hotness of the Week!

A Tasty Review: Lollipop Chainsaw

How many licks does it take to get to the center of this lollipop? Read on to hear Humor Tumor's verdict on the new Suda51 game: Lollipop Chainsaw.

Hands-On First Impressions: LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

It's been four long years since the first LEGO Batman was released. Countless LEGO games have been released since then, but now Batman is back and he's bringing his Super Friends. Here's what Chris thought of the time he spent with the first few moments in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

Hands-On First Impressions: Spec Ops: The Line

Oh boy, here we go. Another third person shooter, complete with cover mechanics, macho alpha males, and douchechill-inducing American patriotism. To be totally honest, those were my exact thoughts when I first heard of Spec Ops: The Line, and had written the game off as decidedly "not for me" pretty long ago. I don't tend to enjoy games outside of my comfort zone of the action-adventure and grappling sports entertainment genres. Shooters for me are simply too chaotic, too jock-tacular for me to ever really get into, outside of some of the true standouts in that space. Much to my surprise, I found Spec Ops to be completely enjoyable.

KGB Radio: One Man Band

It's been a weird week. Things are about to get weirder. Chris hosts this week's show. Alone. He spends a half hour talking to himself about Spec Ops: The Line, LEGO Batman 2, Skyrim, and the latest news on THQ and Capcom. Hey, it's better than nothing. Maybe.

Trials By Fire: Echoes in Hallways

Trials by Fire is a column from D. Bethel whereby two game demos are arbitrarily judged and one is declared the victor.  In actuality, it's a veiled rant.  This edition discusses video games created as adaptations of other existing properties, as exemplified by the demos for The Walking Dead and South Park: Tenorman's Revenge.
