iOS 8.1.3 Released January 29, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
A minor system update for iOS powered devices has been released early this morning. The new update, iOS 8.1.3, fixes several issues with the iPhone and iPad. Without a doubt the most popular fix included in this update is the lowered memory requirements for future software updates. Many users suffering from low storage space have been complaining for quite some time at the large amount of free space that Apple requires when performing a system update without iTunes assistance and this update will hopefully reduce the amount of free space your Apple iDevice will require when performing updates in the future. It also improves gestures in the iPad and other stability improvements.
iOS 8.1.3 is out now and can be installed on all iOS 8 devices including the iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, 6 and 6 Plus models, as well as several models of iPad including the iPad with Retina, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, and the iPad Mini series. The update is free.

The launch of Grim Fandango Remastered was not without its problems today, as Sony did a horrible job servicing anyone who preordered this game on the PlayStation Network. However, even with all of its launch problems, it is still without a doubt one of the best adventure games ever made.
Thankfully, the launch has passed and the game is now finally up for download on the PC, Vita and PS4 at your preferred digital distribution platform of choice (PSN, Steam, GOG) for the first time in nearly twenty years. Here’s the game’s official launch trailer.

Sunset Overdrive Day One Edition Unboxing January 26, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
In 2007, I bought a Playstation 3 just so I could play one of its launch titles, Resistance: Fall of Man. The console floundered in its first year due to its high price but Insomniac Games provided me a reason to buy a Playstation 3 within its first year on the market.
Now, one year into the lifespan of the Xbox One, Microsoft bet on Insomniac Games to produce a console exclusive title players will be talking about. Insomniac provided all the staples they are famous for, unusual weapons, an art style that stands out, and a great amount of polish.
I may be a little late to this party, but I am happy to say that I finally arrived. This is Sunset Overdrive Day One Edition for the Xbox One.
Sunset Overdrive is out now exclusively on the Xbox One.

Telltale Games made a huge name for themselves producing some amazing episodic adventure games in the past few years. With their assistance, adventure gaming is back in a big way. Their writing can be funny, sharp, serious or poignant, and they can take some of the most outrageous concepts and bring them down to earth. The Wolf Among Us is proof of that.
Based on the popular FABLES comic series, The Wolf Among Us puts you in the role of Bigby Wolf, better known as The Big Bad Wolf, now serving as the Sheriff of Fabletown. All of the mythical characters you remembered from your childhood are now living in the heart of NYC and in the 80s, it was a very difficult place.
Today, we’re posting up a Let’s Play of the very first episode of The Wolf Among Us. The video is provided in three parts with full video commentary.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
If you like the commentary, post a comment! We are planning to do a Let’s Play of the first episode of Life is Strange on Friday. If you prefer to watch our game streams live, go to our Official Twitch Channel.
The Wolf Among Us is out now on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4.
