Switch Player Wrap-Up (Week of May 1st)

Hey, folks! I just wanted to keep everyone up to date on what I’ve been working on throughout the last week over at SwitchPlayer.net. If you already follow my news antics over there, then I apologize for double-posting and thank you for your support! Or maybe I don’t. It’s a surprise, really. 1. Top 10 Best …

Yet another Warlords of Draenor post?

So yesterday kicked off Blizzcon and the new expansion was announced as Warlords of Draenor. Perhaps you've read 15 other posts about this already? If not, here is the nutshell versions, but first, the reveal trailer. Mmmmmmm. No new race/class mentioned at this time. This could mean that they're still fine tuning things or deciding …

The crowd-funded Android OS console Ouya released today, and how better to promote their release than posting via Twitter that you can use it to illegally play Nintendo games.

According to I Heart Nintendo, the tweet has since been deleted, but I'll give the Ouya team credit.. they have some guts. Stupid guts, but guts nevertheless. As the tweet explains, the Ouya can use current controllers, expand ports and be used to play all sorts of illegal emulation software. Stay classy, Ouya!

Sonic Lost World will not feature online multiplayer for Wii U, but will for 3DS version. Why is no one embracing online multiplayer for this console?

I'm a couch co-op guy, but I've had some great times playing games online with friends as well. Gaming is more fun when you're around like-minded people, and I understand what Nintendo is going for here, but I don't quite get why they (as in the developers) would opt to leave out a feature that …

Nintendo Experience a little disappointing, but definitely sold me on Mario Kart 8 & Wind Waker HD.

I think my issue was the lack of organization, and I'm not sure if Nintendo or Best Buy is to blame. Our local event in Glen Burnie, MD also fell victim to the Microsoft sales team. While we were there, some asshole in a white Microsoft shirt kept shouting stuff like "You're looking at the …

E3 Nintendo Experience Experienced in Glen Burnie, MD.

It was asses to elbows yesterday at the local Best Buy while my roommate and his girlfriend made their way to check out the latest E3 demos from Nintendo. Sadly, I won't be going until Saturday, but here is a bit of a heads up for anyone else venturing to Best Buy this weekend, courtesy …

Xbox One big disappointment? -or- I got 99 problems and an Xbox One?

Have you guys heard about the Xbox One reveal from this past Tuesday (*sarcasm*)? I'm not trying to ride the hate wave here, but I found little to be excited about after the reveal was over. Aside from being a powerful machine under the hood and having lots of gaming potential, there are plenty of …

This Week in Gaming – CoD Ghosts announced, no Madden for Wii-U, MGS Legacy Collection too big for 360 & more!

In what I'd like to become a weekly column here at Cheap Boss Attack, This Week in Gaming will cap out the weekend rounding up some of the bigger stories to hit the press and how much I probably don't care about them. So let's cut the bullshit and dive in head first, shall we? …

The Legend of Zelda 3DS – IGN Gameplay Footage

Brandon's Videogame Blog already posted on this, but the footage is way too good not to share. IGN posted this gameplay footage for the new Legend of Zelda 3DS and I can't help but get excited about the potential sequel to one of the greatest games of all time - The Legend of Zelda: A …

New to Dragon’s Dogma? Just pick up Dark Arisen? This might help!

In 2012, no video game came close to clocking in as many hours with me as Capcom's first venture in to the western-style RPG genre, Dragon's Dogma. In a year full of big name, AAA titles, the part-action, part-hack n' slash RPG stood out from the crowd with its phenomenal combat system, punishing difficulty and innovative PAWN …
