Attention Militant Nerds (and other wise)! Gamestop has announced a plethora (look it up) of pre-order bonuses for the hotly anticipated “Call of Duty: Black Ops II“. By purchasing the game early, you’ll automatically receive a bad-ass poster, plus you’re locked in for another 3 waves worth of bonuses. This is a great way to [...]

It’s no secret that we are big fans of GameStop here @ Nerd City. The trade-in culture that GameStop has helped foster has played a huge role in the Nerd landscape, and they’ve always been super kind to us (which obviously rules). Currently, they are running a great promotion (until this Saturday 12/17), where you [...]

Having spent an unhealthy amount with Rockstar’s newest masterpiece, L.A. Noire (including the launch DLC), I can honestly say it is one of the most innovative, exciting, and soon-to-be influential games ever. Utilizing their revolutionary motion capture technology, and a who’s who cast of character actors (you’ll recognize almost all of them), Rockstar has created a [...]

One of the most anticipated titles of the year, Rockstar Games L.A. Noire is now available for pre-order @ GameStop.

I have been a fan of the Lego Star Wars franchise for a long time. And now, by all accounts, the recently released Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars appears to be the biggest and best Lego Star Wars yet. Yes, it is true Nerd City has had a bit of a rocky relationship with [...]

Admittedly, I am a bit late to the party, but I just picked up Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (now only $19.99 new @ GameStop), and I seriously can’t get enough of it. Featuring all of the game’s DLC, and of course a stellar multi-player mode, this may seriously be the best deal for [...]

So as some of you may or may not know (shame on you), I am obsessed with NHL 10…and now,  I can be obsessed with NHL 11, which is out right now! And although I have yet to play it (that will change very soon), I have heard nothing but awesome things about the game, and [...]

As mentioned previously on the site, I have recently become more and more interested in the ever-growing Halo phenomenon. With the badass Master Chief Mimobot and the continuing coverage of Halo: Reach, I have started to really dig the aesthetic and story of the franchise, after years of purposeful ignorance.  And now, thanks to team GameStop, [...]

With all of Mike’s great E3 coverage,  and my gift for wasting time, I have been extra motivated to play a lot of video games, and goddammit, I want to talk about it.
