Weekly Warp-Up: Black Friday 2014 Approaches

No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…

The past seven days have been rather quiet for the video game industry. However, we did get a huge batch of pre-Christmas releases and Black Friday is right around the corner. That’s something, right?

If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift, you might like to know that the first batch of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial cartridges excavated from the Alamogordo landfill sold for as much as $1,500. Though unboxed copies went for as little as $500. As much as I’d like one, I think this is one collectible that is out of my reach.

If you’re looking for something a little more meaty, then I suggest heading over to Joshua Wise’s discussion of Shadow of Order‘s depiction of the desire for power in The Path Our Enemy Forges: Shadow of Mordor and Mimetic Desire.

And finally, the nominees for the first ever Game Awards have been announced. Dark Souls II, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Destiny, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare all lead the way with three nominations apiece.

More news from the week that was (though not much more) can be found after the break.
