GOING GREEN WITH EVIL CONTROLLERS
Evil Controllers Promotes Family Gaming and Energy Conservation with Video Games
Tempe, AZ. (2012) - Next Month Evil Controllers is participating in Game Hour. Game Hour takes place on December 7th and promotes friends and family to play video games together and to conserve energy.
Game Hour is a yearly event in which the world is asked to set aside their individual wants to play a single game together, in a single room, while the electricity is turned off in the rest of the house. Energy saved in this way may appear minute, but if the entire nation participated in Game Hour, the event could save 55,226,417 kWh. Only 34,770,000 kWh are required to power 37,100 homes for an entire month.
"Gamers have a bad reputation of being unmotivated or disenfranchised by everything outside of their television, but the reality is that gamers are actually as motivated

Rumor Mill: Modern Warfare 4
There's been a Call of Duty game practically every year thanks to Treyarch and Infinity Ward, and because of the franchise's huge success, it's likely that there will continue to be a new Call of Duty release every year for quite a few years to come. It seems strange to be talking about Infinity Ward's next Call of Duty when Treyarch's Black Ops 2 isn't even on sale yet, but if there is to be a COD game next year, now would seem a likely time for Treyarch to start calling out to more talent for the development of the game, such as voice actors or sound testers.
According to Bill Murray, a voice actor for the hugely

Grand Theft Auto 5 Info
After a whole year since the first announcement trailer of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar had revealed that they were planning to release a brand new trailer for November 1st, which would have most likely revealed the release date, as well as being the gate opener for GTA 5 pre-orders. However, Rockstar have announced that they will have to delay the trailer, as hurricane Sandy has cut the power out in New York, which is where the office that was working on the trailer is based.
Pre-orders were planned to be available on November 5th, and the release day was planned for spring 2013. Although

The AbleGamers Foundation is raising money for their organization through a Kickstarter like website, called WeDidIt for charity.
Their project, which has a goal of $5,000 will aid in the foundation of permanent gaming installations and spreading awareness of disabilities and gamers. They recently opened a permanent disabled "accessibility arcade" at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington D.C.
Their prizes for donating a certain amount of money include: Starcraft 2 Collector's Edition signed by the development team and a Starcraft 2 bumper sticker for $275 and even a lunch with EA founder Trip Hawkins if you donate $2,500.
One reward was also added recently in lieu of the Zynga layoffs. The Mary Margaret Networks will create a full resume rewrite to highlight the strengths of the person for a donation of $249 or more.
"The gaming community is much larger than we think," said Mark Barlet the President of the AbleGamers Foundation in their WeDidIt

Dead Space 3 Info
Recent gameplay footage of Dead Space 3 has been released by Visceral Games, the team behind the Dead Space series, and it's looking to be the most exhilarating gameplay footage yet. The developers have managed to capture amazing scenes within a dark abandoned spaceship, relying on the weak light emitting from Isaac's suit and the inconsistent eerie background noises to create an atmosphere that's bound to get you on the edge of your seat.
The realistic body animations and interactions within the hazardous ship innards make it feel more than a video game, putting you right into an experience equivalent to a bid-budget horror movie. For the

It seems a little strange to bring any new current generation console models to the market, especially with Nintendo releasing their next-gen Wii U later this year and rumors around big next-gen reveals at E3 2013. But Sony still has some left over cards to play for their PS3, and on September 25th, Sony released the previously announced slimmer PS3 models.So what do these models consist of and why would they be a better buy for veteran or casual PS3 gamers alike?
Well for most, the main attraction will be the slimmer, sleeker design, and footage has proved that the claims from Sony including a 20% decrease in size and 25% decrease in weight, are in fact true, and the PS3 has never looked so attractive.
Other than the main parameter change, there will be two mainstream models which will include a huge 250GB or 500GB HDD, which compared to the previous model's 160GB and 320GB hard drive space, we are seeing a huge increase.
The Disk drive will also

For a while now gamers everywhere have been waiting for the next big thing Hideo Kojima was working with. Initially we all though Metal Gear Revengeance would be his new project but it didn't take time for us to learn we were wrong.
It was sometime later that Hideo Kojima revealed that he was working on a new engine, the Fox engine. In one of the interviews where Kojima was showing his new engine he revealed that he was working on a new game and that the video playing at the background (there was a computer in the background) was an actual game that was being rendered via the Fox engine. The game was later revealed to be "Project Ogre".
So unsurprisingly when Hideo Kojima himself revealed Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes (an "open world" game running on the Fox engine) at this year's PAX, many gamers assumed that Project Ogre was the codename for MGS Ground Zeroes. I guess I can sort of see why people got the two mixed up since Project Ogre is also supposed to be an open world

Big news for Metal Gear Solid fans! At this year's PAX expo Hideo Kojima himself came to show an almost 15 minute long gameplay video of him new creation, MGS Ground Zeroes. This was the first ever reveal of his new project. What's better is the fact that this new iteration is being made using the new engine Hideo Kojima has been working on for the last few years, the FOX engine.
The demo was meant to to show off the capability of the FOX engine and from what was shown, the game looks great. Mind you that it is still a work in progress. There is every indication that the game is going to be HUGE. Hell, even Naked Snake (a.k.a. Big Boss) is making a comeback!
Amongst the biggest changes is the fact that this game is going to be an OPEN WORLD game, a first for the series. During the demo other cool features were highlighted. Snake is now able to commandeer any vehicle within his reach. You can even call a helicopter at ANY time during the missions that you are currently in.
