In Konami’s NeverDead, your arms come off, but you can still use them, and decapitation provides excellent scouting possibilities. You’re cursed with immortality and forced to live with regret over past mistakes and all your personal flaws. Wow, what a great premise for a game! I want to love it because it seems like such a big win on the mechanics and story…
Rayman Origins from Ubisoft is jubilant and joyful, ebullient and effervescent, vivid and vivacious. If asked to describe it in more visual terms, I’d have to say it’s like those shampoo commercials where they throw brightly colored limes, strawberries and various types of melons through a refreshing blast of water (which always makes this bald guy want to buy shampoo…
If you like superheroes and shiny silver balls, then you must pick up Marvel Pinball on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. The basic game costs $10 and comes with four tables: Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Blade. There are also add-on tables with the Fantastic Four, Captain America, X-Men, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight. Each table is unique, beautiful and…
First of all, Saints Row: The Third lets you choose the size of your c*ck—and pretty much every other part of you—but your c*ck, your bulge, your manhood, you choose the size of it all. Oh, and if you choose to be female, then you can (yawn) orchestrate your cleavage. Saints Row: The Third is Volition’s latest sandbox gangsta extravaganza. Think Grand Theft Auto…
Gambit’s A Closed World is an eloquent and beautiful flash game that deserves our attention for doing something no other game has. First, it’s a game that uses gay issues as its premise. Second, its Pokemon-ish battle system promotes using reason, instead of just obliterating an opponent with bullets or blades. However, it still manages to maintain an intensity…
Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is filled with stories. There are those that are plotted out, and those that just happen when game systems interact with each other—like my fight against two dragons, two giants and a few massive mammoths. Or my lovely wedding with a Nordic werewolf with a heart of gold and a two-handed sword. Enough people have told you about…
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is like the guy who’s unspeakably handsome, who enthralls you with every gesture, whose hand you just want to grab and whose face you want to touch. He talks, and you watch his mouth move, while you sigh to yourself, “He’s so pretty.” Unfortunately, everything else about him is silly and bland. He thinks he’s smarter and more…
Barrel chest, voice made of gravel, excels in orgies of physical contact and a truckload of crazy boyfriends…you know you want it. Batman is back in Batman: Arkham City, and he’s dragged his most famous rogues with him, and even a cat lady, uh, woman. If you are a fan of any facet of this franchise, you want this game. Gotham is beautifully broken and has given over…
“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Edge of Time does some of what a spider can.” In Spider-Man: Edge of Time, some douchebag is trying to mess with time again, which allows you to be part of a Spider-Man/Spider-Man 2099 team-up. Peter David, one of the most entertaining and gay-friendly writers in comics and every manner of geeky novel, scripts the game, and while things…
Think edgy Six Million Dollar Man and you’ll get Adam Jensen, the protagonist in Deus Ex: Human Revolution by Square Enix. He’s fashionable, dark, gravelly-voiced, a little dangerous, very capable, part man, part machine, and he’s got a cool beard. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is sexy cyberpunk, which is kind of a tautology, because to be cyberpunk, it must be sexy.…
Board shorts, washboard abs, men up all night and hungry for flesh and an island paradise are what make Dead Island a riveting play (you thought I was talking about a West Hollywood pool party, didn’t you?). Banoi has white sand beaches, four-star accommodations and a zombie infection. You are one of the few somehow immune to the whole mess, so, of course, survivors…
It’s like shoving rainbows and bear cubs into your eyeholes, if doing that sort of thing were something one would enjoy doing. Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX, as it is known to the video game set, takes place at the end of August in green and crunchy Seattle. PAX is soaked in video games, geeks and various (and usually inflatable) swag. In short, it’s nirvana for gamers.…
The fallen angels in El Shaddai: The Ascension of the Metatron have corrupted Earth, and God wants to flood the place to clean it up a little. Enoch is given a chance to save the planet and its inhabitants by recovering the angels, which requires a bunch of fighting, lots of running and a good amount of jumping. And Lucifel, your probable boyfriend, follows you around…
Outside there is sun, and it is hot and burny. I can see nature through my window, but I’m going to stay here where it is comfortable and there are snacks. I’m parched for a refreshing beverage, and I’m stuck in the gaming desert where new games are sparse and lame. Scary how I can read your mind, isn’t it? Have no fear; I am here to help with some…
I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, mainly because listening to other people’s podcasts makes me feel guilty and inadequate for not doing more of my own. But one podcast that I do listen to (and covet to an unhealthy degree) is produced by Daniel, Dean and Dan, also known as…the Silly Frags! A trio of gaymers representing an impressive collective knowledge…
I’m very pleased to introduce you to the latest member of Team FBOTU. Longtime site member Jason (formerly known as Rolltideguy77) is a charming and dashing Southerner and fanboy. He admits to a severe fetish for men who look like Clark Kent (and he doesn’t look so bad in a Superman suit himself). His favorite heroes are Spider-Man and Superman, and his dream…
