Interview Dave Fennoy: The Voice Of Lee Everett From Telltale’s 'The Walking Dead'

April 23rd, 2013 10:30am EDT
Dave Fennoy
It’s no secret that since finishing the incredible The Walking Dead game from Telltale last year, I’ve been dying to interview some of the phenomenal voice actors that brought life to the cherished characters in the game. Recently, I had the opportunity to finally speak via e-mail with the voice of main protagonist Lee, Dave Fennoy.

(You may also know him as the voice of Hulu.)

Spoilers ahead if you didn’t finish the five episode series.

Here’s what we discussed:

How did you first get cast in the role of voice Lee for The Walking Dead game?

I auditioned for the part of Lee Everett... a...

Metal Gear Solid V Trailer Helps Us Remember Why We Love Metal Gear

March 28th, 2013 10:39am EDT
Big Boss
It's here folks - the official MGS V trailer from GDC.
I don't think it needs much explaining. I'll introduce it to you as 'simply epic' - with an AWESOME soundtrack.
So sit back and enjoy over five minutes of Metal Gear goodness.

The trailer answer a couple questions, but leaves us with more.

1) We know that Metal Gear Solid V was the previously titled "Phantom Pain" project by Kojima.
2) MGS: V will be a separate game to MGS: Ground Zeroes.
3) It will feature big boss, and some of the returning characters from MGS: Peace Walker.
4) It includes the destruction of Outer Heaven as well ...

PAX East 2013 : Wildstar and Elder Scrolls Online

March 25th, 2013 1:20pm EDT
Wildstar Online vs Elder Scrolls Online
Last weekend, I went to my first ever PAX Convention, and let me just say – there was a lot to do. While the show floor was filled to the brink with awesome single player, multi-player and even arcade games, two MMOs in particular grabbed my attention right away.

Let me just start by saying I'm not really what you would call a 'hardcore' MMO Player. I played WoW on one character (Worgen Druid) which I got to level seventy before quitting. I attempted other MMOs from time to time, but I always seemed to lose interest quickly. Combat doesn't seem to be fascinating enough, crafting gets repet...

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Later this month, Activision will release The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, a videogame based on the hit AMC show. (This is different than the Telltale adventure game based on the comic.)

Starpulse was recently provided three exclusive screenshots of the upcoming game, as well as some details for what players can expect.

Over the course of Survival Instinct, players will guide the Dixon brothers, Daryl and Meryl, across the George countryside. Players will be controlling Daryl, while the computer controls Meryl. Sometimes the brothers will communicate via radio (when they’re not within...

Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC [REVIEW]: Spend One Last Time with Your Friends

March 6th, 2013 10:58am EST
Mass Effect 3: Citadel
Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC is sort of like the American Reunion movie. It’s a chance to revisit with old friends one last time. Some you are overjoyed to see and the jokes bring a smile to your face—others just fall flat and you wonder why that character is even there, even if for nostalgia’s sake. But overall, you’re happy you got to spend some time with them all again. (Yes, that means I liked American Reunion.)

There’s really two parts to the Citadel DLC. The first part is a straight mission across the Citadel and even the Normandy that involves taking down an enemy that wants to, let’s...

Exclusive Interview with Mastermind Behind the ‘Throw Trucks With Your Mind’ Kickstarter

March 6th, 2013 10:00am EST
It might have taken longer than you would have expected ten or even twenty years ago, but you can now use your mind to play a video game.

Haven’t picked up such a headset yet that lets you do that? That’s not surprising given all the major game developers aren’t that interested in the technology. That’s where a new Kickstarter for a game called Throw Trucks With Your Mind comes in.

To learn more about the upcoming game that is only halfway to its goal of $40,000 with just over a week to go, I spoke with the “mastermind” of the game, Lat Ware, over email. Here’s what we discussed.

Rapper Snoop Dogg is set to release his own video game.

The Gin & Juice hit-maker has teamed up with bosses at 505 Games and Echo Peak to release Way of the Dogg, which will allow users to 'become' the rapper and use Kung-Fu to fight off different characters - all while listening to the 41 year old's music.

The hip-hop star, also known as Snoop Lion, tells AllHipHop.com, "Everyone knows that Snoop is down with the biggest and best video games, whether it's droppin' my hits on the soundtrack, or showing the world I can go toe-to-toe with the best fighters on the street - but Way of the D...

Vergil’s Downfall DLC [REVIEW]: DmC’s First Single Player DLC is Quite a Departure and Not Necessarily in a Good Way

March 5th, 2013 3:01am EST
Vergil's Downfall
When you love a game like DmC Devil May Cry as much as I did, you’re going to approach single player DLC very cautiously. You get nervous that if the developers change things up too much, it may sour what you loved about the original.

That happened with me and the game Enslaved, which is one of my favorite games of all time. Their single player DLC changed up the gameplay so much, it wound up disappointing me in ways I wouldn’t have thought possible after singing Enslaved’s praises to anyone that would listen.

Since developer Ninja Theory was responsible for both those games and their DLC...
