Its a major milestone for GameXcess.net!  Maniac unboxes the Avermedia Game Capture Device.  It’s portable, able to be charged through USB 2.0, and can capture video up to 1080p30 while connected to a PC, or 720p30 by itself, so long as you’re using at least a Class 10 SDHC card to capture with.

Take a look with me at just what’s in the box!

Game Boys: The Animated Series Coming to DVD May 16, 2013

One of my favorite movies released exclusively through the internet was the comedy, Game Boys.  The movie was written and directed by Brad Jones, better known to the internet as The Cinema Snob.  The film was about a bunch of slackers in their mid-twenties who obsessed with playing the classic games from their childhood, no matter how bad.  To cheer up their friend after he suffers a bad breakup, they plan to have a classic gaming party featuring a very controversial game many of us would prefer not to talk about, just to see if it can be beaten.

Recently, Brad has brought back Game Boys as an animated series, which uses many of the voice actors of the original series along with all new animation.  Its a great series for those who wanted to see what all the characters are up to after the events of the movie.  So far we’ve seen how they play poker, talk to their girlfriends, and camp.  Trust me, its nothing like what you’d expect.  All of the original actors reprise their roles, with the exception of Bianca Queen, who sadly couldn’t lend her voice due to issues with distance.

After the release of the third episode, Brad Jones has announced that he plans to release the series in the form of a DVD which he will sell on the site for around $10 US.  There’s currently no ETA on the DVD’s release, but Brad plans to include special features, including Bianca Queen’s original audio for the third episode.  Here’s to hoping he includes the original movie with it.

If you want, you can watch the latest episodes, as well as the original movie on thecinemasnob.com.

The Starship Damrey Out Now May 16, 2013

Nintendo made a lot of announcements for the new games they would be personally developing for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in the last Nintendo Direct video, but that wasn’t all they showed, they also showed some of the more unique games being produced by Level-5.  One of the games that stood out to me was the game The Starship Damrey, which looked like a science-fiction horror game from days gone by.

A year ago, I remember watching the Happy Video Game Nerd’s review of the game Enemy Zero, which was a Sega Saturn exclusive science-fiction horror game.  Having never played Enemy Zero myself, there was just something about The Starship Damrey which reminded me of it, and made me interested to learn more about it.

Well, I didn’t have to wait very long.  The Starship Damrey is out now exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.  Take a look at the game’s latest trailer!

The game is currently download only.  You can buy it for $7.99 US through the Nintendo eShop.  Keep in mind, it takes up around 859 Blocks of space.
