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.
Let’s Play The Wolf Among Us Episode 1 January 25, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Let's Play, Site Videos.add a comment
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.

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
At the launch of the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta, two maps were available to play on a single game type, Slayer. Earlier today, we took a look at one the beta’s launch maps, Truth. Now we’re going to take a look at the beta’s other map, Empire, and see what it’s like.
Joined by his cousin Vinny and diskreader117, Maniac tackles a game of Slayer on the map Empire. This one is a real nail biter. Just remember, 343 Industries has announced that they have added a few more maps and an entirely new gametype to the beta yesterday, so if you’re in the beta and haven’t played it recently, some new content will be ready to play for you.

Happy New Year! Just before New Year’s Eve, we promised you guys a special surprise, and here it is, direct feed footage from the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta Test. Halo 5: Guardians may be about a year away from launch, but we got early access to some of the game’s multiplayer levels, and we are really excited to show them to you.

I promised you guys a video review after Christmas and here it is, a review of the Cortana Data Chip Keychain. Since replaying Halo: The Master Chief Collection this November, I have occasionally referred to my girlfriend as my Cortana. Because of that, she got me this replica as a gift. Cortana’s Data chip is an item you may have seen in Halo 3, Halo 4, or the Halo 5: Guardians announcement trailer.
Is it worth an order? Lets break it open and see how it looks!
More exclusive content is on its way this week, including a look at the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta. Coming up next, since it is so popular among my subscribers, a brand new Christmas themed Maniac’s haul is up next
