Warpback: What We Played in January 2012
January of 2012 wasn’t as impressive as it has been the last few years, but we here at Warp Zoned didn’t let that get us down. We were still busy playing demos, getting excited about the future, and – as always – digging through our backlogs to clear space on our shelf for all those new games. Read on to find out exactly what we played in the post-holiday gaming season. (more…)
The Games of January 2012
Are you ready for some new games? After a particularly dry December, gamemakers have returned from the holidays with… a mostly dry January. But there’s still a few gems to be found in the next four weeks. At least, we hope they’ll be gems… (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in December 2011
With the busy busy holiday season, the only hardcore gaming some members of the Warp Zoned staff did in December involved the office Secret Santa gift exchange. But others still did plenty of playing and that’s what we’re here to talk about today. (more…)
The Official Mega-Super-Awesome Video Game Release Calendar for 2012
Dick Clark is in Times Square and the big ball will drop in less than 36 hours. That’s right folks, 2011 is coming to an end. But all that means is that 2012 is (quite literally) right around the corner. And with it comes a huge new year of gaming. In 2012, we’ll witness the launch of the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Wii U. We’ll also welcome back the bullet-time action of Max Payne, the knee-cracking excitement of NFL Blitz, and a rousing return to the world of BioShock. There’s also the tomb raiding rebirth of Lara Croft, another count of Grand Theft Auto, the first Kid Icarus game in over two decades, and the gravity-defying feats of Inversion.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s what else we’ll be playing in 2012 (Did we miss any? Let us know in the comments)… (more…)

Warpback: What We Played in November 2011
Ah, November. We hardly knew ye! You were here and gone so quickly, leaving us with a whirlwind of Black Friday sales as you went. You came in like an adventurer with Drake and Sully, then went out like a sword-swinging Link, and in the middle was Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim. With so many great games to choose from, what was the Warp Zoned staff playing? Read on to find out! (more…)
The Next Level: The Games of November 2011
November is going to be an unforgiving month for the wallets of the Warp Zoned staff! We’re doing everything from figuring out what the hell “Drake’s Deception” really is, to getting your dragon on in the new Elder Scrolls game. The video game companies are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us! We have no choice but to clear our schedules, open our wallets, and pray our thumbs don’t give out. Read on to find out just what exactly it is we plan on playing this month, though our intentions might get overridden by the first games we get addicted to. (more…)
Warpback: What We Played in October 2011
October seemed like a blur here at Warp Zoned. We were so busy trying to keep up with everything that it passed us by in no time!

Oh yeah, and we also played some old games as well, from chewing bubble gum with the Duke to leaving a football field covered in blood. Read on to find out all the gory details of what we played in October. (more…)
