The Games of December 2012
There’s not too much to look forward to in December – unless, that is, you want some free time to catch up on your backlog! And with the holiday break coming up, it seems that’s what we here at Warp Zoned will be doing. Unless you just bought a Wii U that is. (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in November 2012
November was spent playing some older games, ranging from Resident Evil 2 to Zombie Driver HD. And some of us – no names mentioned – are still playing Borderlands 2. Read on to find out more of what we did in November! (more…)
The Good, The Bad, and Disney’s Acquisition of LucasArts
On Tuesday, October 30, The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm from George Lucas. This multibillion dollar deal included all rights to the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, as well as the subsidiary companies Industrial Light + Magic, Skywalker Sound, and LucasArts.
In the same announcement, Disney confirmed that Star Wars: Episode VII was in development and would be released in theaters in 2015. The Internet (and quite possibly the world) was in utter disbelief. You might say that millions of voices suddenly cried out in confusion and were suddenly silenced in stunned shock.
But that silence didn’t last long as the speculation concerning Episode VII and what this means for the Star Wars franchise began almost immediately. And that’s where we come in, as two Warp Zoned staffers debate exactly what this merging means for Lucasfilm’s game development arm, LucasArts. (more…)

The Games of November 2012
November seems to mostly just be about Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which is overshadowing even the release of the Wii U.

Warpback: What We Played in October 2012
Well, it’s been an exciting month for Warp Zoned! It looks like we’ve been splitting our time between old games, new games, and all the game we can possibly download. The two big winners seem to be Borderlands 2 and Zombie Driver HD. But there was also some bug killing, some Pokemon collecting, and some compulsive building as well. Hit the jump to find out how a trio of Warp Zoned staffers spent their gaming time during this lovely month. (more…)
The Games of October 2012
There are some good games coming out this month, and we here at Warp Zoned are excited about a few of them. Some of us are clinging to Borderlands 2, though – spending as much time fighting our way through the game as possible. What can I say? Handsome Jack is just that despicable. Read on to find out what might pull us away from Pandora as we figure out what we want to play in October. (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in September 2012
September was an awesome month for gamers, mostly thanks to the long-awaited release of Borderlands 2. But that’s not all we were playing here at Warp Zoned! Double Dragon: Neon was also a favorite, as well as some mobile games and other gems. Read on to find out why the ninth month of the year gave us so much joy! (more…)
