Daily Scoop – January 8, 2013 – Shirts galore!

OK, so I lied: it’s not really shirts galore. But there are three awesome t-shirts that I think you’ll all love, including a great Adventure Time mashup. If anyone is looking for a present for me for my birthday, feel free to buy it for me!

Not a lot of deals going on today, folks – sorry! There’s plenty to get excited about on Amazon’s video game deals page, but nothing really all that specific. I’m just going to keep on playing my backlog until Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch comes out. Oh, actually, I’ll be playing the Borderlands 2 DLC next week, so that only gives me a week to play that before Ni No Kuni. I’m going to be busy! I don’t need no sales!

And now, what you’ve really been waiting for… the t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 7, 2013 – Just another manic Monday

Monday’s back again! It’s like there’s some kind of pattern with it or something. At least the weekend was awesome! The boyfriend and I played tons of Borderlands 2. We’re playing with Axton and Maya, and I’m trying to get all of the challenges in order to get that darn trophy. It’s fun, except for the one where you have to kill 200 enemies with splash damage from a rocket launcher. Well, all right, it’s really fun using a rocket launcher all the time, but that gets expensive! Also, I picked up the Adventure Time game for the 3DS, which I cannot wait to start playing! Too bad real life gets in the way of gaming.

Not much in the way of deals today, unless you’re one of those people who has made a new years resolution to get in shape. If that’s the case, Amazon has you covered with their Featured New Year, New You Deals. Start out with the Xbox 360 4GB with Kinect Nike+ Bundle for $249.99, then scoop up Just Dance 4 for $29.99, and maybe even Zumba Fitness Rush for $29.99. You’ll be in shape in no time!

Got a few great t-shirts today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 4, 2013 – Finally Friday

It’s finally Friday, and I couldn’t be happier to see the weekend. I don’t have much planned other than Dungeons & Dragons, but I’d love to do some cleaning and get some laundry done. Oh, and I should probably go food shopping, considering I’m out of everything you could imagine. I guess maybe I shouldn’t have been this excited for the weekend…

There’s not really too much going on today when it comes to deals. Best Buy is having a 2-day sale, though not all the sale prices seem to have gone live yet. Keep an eye on the video game deals, especially if you want to pick up Gravity Rush and/or Uncharted: Golden Abyss. There are quite a few more Vita games there as well.

Not really too much going on with t-shirts, either, but you might like this video game-styled one: (more…)

Wreck-It Ralph available to download on February 12, Blu-ray/DVD coming March 5

wreckitralph-blurayDisney’s Wreck-It Ralph has been praised by gamers and non-gamers alike for its loving tribute to gaming’s 8-bit days. While the film is still enjoying a very successful theatrical run, Disney has announced that it’ll be available as a digital download and on Blu-ray and DVD soon.

In a first for the company, Wreck-It Ralph will be available to download digitally more than a month before it’s Blu-ray/DVD counterpart. If downloading movies from iTunes or Amazon Video is your thing, you’ll be able to own Wreck-It Ralph on February 12.

However, if you’d prefer to wait for the Blu-ray/DVD, it’ll be released on March 5 in three different packages:

  • Ultimate Collector’s Edition ($49.99): Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy + Special Features
  • Collector’s Edition ($39.99): Blu-ray, DVD + Special Features
  • DVD Edition ($29.99): DVD + Special Features

Each version of the film will come packed with a variety of special features, including the Paperman short film that played before Wreck-It Ralph in theaters. You can read up on all the special features after the break. (more…)

Borderlands: Unconquered Review: Came, Saw, Did Not Conquer

borderlandsunconquered-header

John Shirley returns to the world of Pandora with Borderlands: Unconquered, his second novel set within the Borderlands game series. Borderlands: The Fallen was based on the first game, and it was a good one. I was hoping this return to the world of the infamous Vault hunters would be another good one, but I was more than a little disappointed – in every way. (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 3, 2013 – Is it the weekend yet?

It is a scientifically proven fact that shorter work weeks always seem to feel like the longest weeks ever. It’s like I’ve already had a full five-day work week in less than two days. Science, how is this even possible?

GameStop is giving extra for your trade-ins right now. When you trade any three games, you get an extra $10 credit. Not too shabby! Amazon’s also got some deals going on as well. You can get an Xbox LIVE 12 Month Gold Membership for $10 off, as well as NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. Scoop ’em up!

Three good t-shirts today, two from the same site: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 2, 2013 – Back to the real world

Good morning and Happy New Year, dear readers! Did you have a wonderful holiday break? I played so much stuff, I can’t even remember all of it. I put what I could in the article that’ll be coming up later, so be sure to read what we played in January to see what I couldn’t put down. Sadly, today it’s back to work for me and most of the rest of the world. The break flew by all too quickly!

What kind of deals are there out there for you right now to spend your precious Christmas money on? It doesn’t look like there’s too much going on, honestly. GameStop has some typical deals going on in their weekly ad, including Halo 4 for $39.99, Dead Space 2 for $14.99, as well as $49.99 for Far Cry 3 and Diablo III.

Gamefly is having a big year-end sale on used games, including games like Child of Eden, Homefront, and Lego Batman (those are all $12.99). This sale ends tomorrow, so scoop ’em up!

By far the best sale going on all month is over at Insert Coin, an online gamer clothing shop. All of their clothes and accessories are based on/inspired by video games, and most of them are amazing! Many of their older styles are up to %60 off right now, so take a look. You won’t be disappointed!

Just two t-shirts for you today: (more…)

The Golden Pixel Awards 2012: Gaming’s Best, Worst, and Everything Else

goldenpixel2012-header

Welcome to Warp Zoned’s second annual Golden Pixel Awards. It was definitely a good year for gaming. With the fight over Mass Effect 3‘s ending, the resurrection of Sleeping Dogs, and the launch of the Wii U, we were treated to 12 months of interesting stories.

So sit back and relax as we reward the best (and worst) games of 2012 with a series of accolades based on their rather unique accomplishments.

The Apocalypse List

The bombs have fallen, the economy has collapsed, food is scarce, the zombie hordes are scratching at your door, and you’ve boarded yourself up in a bunker that’ll stand for a hundred years. What better way to spend your time in “The Vault” than by playing Warp Zoned’s favorite games from 2012? It doesn’t matter if you call it a “Top Ten List” or “Our Favorites From 2012,” but these are the games we plan to keep playing even if there was no game industry to keep making games. (more…)
