Warpback: What We Played in December 2013

Santa has lightened his load and delivered presents with care. And publishers released new consoles for gamers in a pair. There was so much to play in December that we just had to share. We tried to sample it all… from Mario’s latest quest to reach the Flag Pole to Rockstar’s trio and everything they stole. I realize these rhymes are more than a little staid, so hit the jump to see what the Warp Zoned staff played. (more…)
WZ Year in Review: The Most Popular Articles of 2013

With 2013 officially in the books, I think it’s safe to say that it was a year that will go down in infamy among gamers. The Xbox One launched and gamers were still debating whether Microsoft’s scrapped game licensing policy was a good idea. The PS4 also launched and while it didn’t have a so-called “killer app,” it received a much warmer response. The Wii U continued to chug along the track, but most third party publishers (except for Ubisoft and the indies) seemed to get off.
So jump into our DeLorean and take a trip back through 2013 as we look at the 21 most popular articles from the last year. (more…)

Read on to find out all about the games we played in November!
The Games of November 2013

They’re finally here. Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One will be available on store shelves this month. Have you been saving your pennies to purchase a next-gen console on day one? Or did the fizzy fast food fairy gift you with a free one? But if you’re not ready to make the next-gen leap, remember, there’s still plenty of current-generation games coming this month (and beyond) to keep all of us busy for a long time. So what’s the staff of Warp Zoned looking forward to in the 11th month of 2013? Read on to find out… (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in October 2013

While you probably spent last night gorging on candy and spooky movies, the month of October was a bit of a slow one for games. That’s because two new consoles are right around the corner. They’re getting closer and closer. You can almost feel them watching you. Waiting to report on your every movement to the men in dark suits and even darker sunglasses.
But enough about the Xbox One’s Kinect sensor, let’s take a look at what the Warp Zoned staff played in October 2013… (more…)
