The New and Improved Slender

Slender originally came out in 2012 being called short, crude and one of the scariest games of the year.  This game will definitely scare you if you decide to play it with headphones in a dark room.  In this video game, you had to collect 8 pages before Slender was able to catch you.  The game isn't graphically pleasing, but the horror factor of the game is what makes it so popular.  Now apparently, there will be a new and improved version of Slender coming out in early 2013.  So far from the preview, you can see better improved graphics, and somewhat of a better game play.

Happy Holidays 2012 Update

Hello gamers, this is Chris_sez with an awesome update post.  This was originally suppose to be our first video post, but technical difficulties occurred so this is now a written post.   Most of us, including myself, are officially on break from school.  With that said, there will be more reviews and news updates from us throughout the rest of December, and about halfway through January.  Currently, I'm playing Sonic 4 Episode II,  and Super Mario World.  I will be reviewing Power Rangers Lighspeed Rescue and Timeforce for the Playstation.  As a Christmas gift, I'll review Super Mario World, because you are all fantastic fans, and we really appreciate you all checking out our blog.  Definitely check out our previous reviews and what reviews will be coming soon.  Finally, we have added a new member to our group, and she will be our art designer.  With her help, we're going to renovate the site so that everyone loves it.  Finally, there is a possibility that we will be looking for a new reviewer to join the DirectGamers team.  Stayed tuned to the blog and our Twitter page @DirectGamers for further updates on this matter.  Once again guys, thank you so much for being by our sides throughout the year, and let's hope that the next year will be amazing!!!  Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Pokemon Black & White 2 Animated Trailer

Well I really never finished a Pokemon game, nor am I up to date with the new Pokemon, but this trailer makes me want to buy a Nintendo DS (DSi or a 3DS) and get this game plus its predecessor, Pokemon Black or White.  I already know this isn't actual game play footage but the way they're promoting the game is very good.  All I know is that a lot of Pokemon fans were waiting for a direct sequel to a game and now they're getting it.  Pokemon Black and White 2 comes out in the United States on October 7, 2012 for the Nintendo DS!!!  Can't wait to tell my little cousin!

E3 Recap: Sony Press Conference

Hey everyone, this is Chris_sez with an E3 Recap on the Sony Press Conference.  I know this is a little late, but I wasn't feeling well to post this, so I thought that this was the best time to post this.  At E3 this year, Sony had to bring their A game in order to survive this year.  With the mishaps of last year, this year was make or break.  To me, they gave it their all and won; they sold their product very well and made people really want the PS3, PS Vita, and its games.  This recap is only about some of the games, so let's start this recap.
