My name is Justin, and I’m a mobile gamer.

 

“Hi Justin,” they all chime in unison. 

 

“I started playing mobile games casually – a little Angry Birds to get a little gaming fix in a life busy with work, kids, etc.  That morphed into spending time on the app store actively looking for something new.  Before I knew it, I was showing up 30 minutes early to meetings to ensure that I’d have some time to play while I wait, and even locking myself in the bathroom several times a day just to level up on EA High Caliber Hunting.”

In what is sure to send gamers everywhere into an excitement induced coma, "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz announced today that the show will be coming back to television! AD was cancelled 5 years ago by Fox (who has a long history of poor decisions in cancelling shows).

 

Many of the actors have gone onto other projects, but the loyal fan base has kept pushing and asking. Hurwitz has said that the show will do a season which will show us what the characters have been up to since the show last aired which will lead up to the upcoming movie.

     Roxas-UrBoxas (a user of gDNA ) shared his story about how the game Catherine helped him to understand the women who had cheated on him as well as learn to accept them. The story was originally posted to How Games Saved My Life, a site where people share their testimonies of how games positively affected their lives. Later Roxas-UrBoxas posted his testimony on Catherine's gDNA page, this caught the eye of a few of us at the office and made me eager to share it with the rest of you.

Web Chat Bar

Greetings Helixes,

 

We are very excited to announce that web chat is now live on gamerDNA.com! The chat allows you to connect with anyone in your guild/clan or just others who have the same gaming interests as you! We have some very cool plans to take the basic chat setup that you see now, and expand it with better features and platforms.

 

Using chat is totally optional, and you can sign out by clicking on the buddy list, click status, then "Offline". We'll remember your choice and won't sign you in to it.

 

We had been working to get chat fully operational and were right on the verge of a public release when we found a pretty severe bug. We decided to fix the bug rather than sending out a half broken chat. Once a week, the gDNA team spends an extra long evening crowded around our conference table, eating greasy pizza, and try to identify issues that you have and fix them. Last night was one such night, and we worked through the final major bugs. Now when you visit gamerDNA.com you can chat directly with your followers, clan members, and gDNA staff!

 

Please let us know how you like this new feature and post any bugs in the support forum.

Daily Game: Star Wars: The New Droid Army

If you could not tell already, as a kid I was very deeply in love with my Gameboy Advanced. I used to play that thing for hours on end and enjoy every minute of it. Star Wars: The New Droid Army is a game that was gifted to me on my birthday by my best friend at the time. From the day I got it, I played it all the time and beat it on various difficulty settings multiple times. 

 

The gameplay was fairly fun and the bosses could be challenging at times, but the game really wasn't super hard. It was also fairly short seeing as there are only 11 levels to beat, and there was no unlockable content. Due to these things and the fact that you had to stand still to revive your energy, the game got fairly bad reviews. All that being said I didn't look at reviews when I was a kid, and I loved the game for a very long time. I probably was just obsessed with Star Wars to be totally truthful. (still ammmm)

 

So if you are looking for a star wars game, you could get this one. I enjoyed it when I was like 10.

Mortal Kombat v. Street Fighter…Which...

Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are the epitome of the side view fighter, and have both been cherished games throughout the years by many devoted fans. I recently purchased Mortal Kombat 9 and enjoyed it quite a sum (with the exception of Shao Kahn). There is a pretty cool story mode and of course multiplayer fights are fantastic…I thought it was as good as I could get. 

 

Then I checked out it's metacritic score which was 84/100 and read some reviews that it received and realized that the game was only "okay" to critics on most levels. WHAT JUST OKAY?? I thought the game was fantastic. If this game isn't the best fighter what in the wide world of sports is?? Read More…

MXP/PXP life…Howzit?

Random guy, “hey Colton, how do you like working at playxpert? I bet working on computers all day is boring as all heck!” Me, “well now random guy, it’s time I taught you a lesson in awesomeness.” Working at playxpert/metaxpert is literally the best job I have ever had, and I wish that I could have worked here sooner. To get an idea at the sheer supreme fun that is here, let me tell you about my average day.

 

First, I drive into town to go to my job and get to park at the beach that is maybe a block away, I then walk across a bridge that spans across a river that is parallel with our lake. Basically I have a beautiful walk on my way in. If I look behind me there is construction work going on for the new bypass, however it is not ugly and actually looks like a structure being built in Minecraft (seriously, there are lots of blocks made of dirt with grass on top). At this point I am about to walk into a very pretty looking building. Read More…
