by Brian Bentley [ Saturday, 21st of May 2011 - 09:13 PM ]

Brian, David and Corey are back for more hilarity and hijinks on this mid-May episode of the Aggrocast. The guys talk what they've been playing including Dungeon Siege II, Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, Brink, Persona 4 and David's special project. The Community Spotlight is back as well as the highly praised Care/Don't Care segment. The episode wraps up with our main topic - the IGN / UGO merger - and ends with plenty of talk of kittens. We are currently still having a technical issue with our usual feeds, so in the mean time, click here to listen, press play below or use the link below to download it directly. Read More…

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episode 6 - Raiden's Gone Crazy

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 19th of May 2011 - 09:59 PM ]

Finally we get something that was originally pitched way back when. It only took six episodes before we got another gritty take on the Mortal Kombat universe. While it was nothing as insane as how Baraka or Scorpion were presented, it does ask the question of "What would happen if a god fell in the modern age?" It also answers it pretty accurately too boot. This week's episode features Raiden who seems to have fallen out of power and into the grounds of a mental institution. Read More…

Dead Island Really Showing How Paradise Can Go Wrong

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 19th of May 2011 - 05:57 PM ]

So the original trailer for the game made a huge splash and so did the exclusive behind closed doors showcasing, but for the most part it has been CGI or mostly words showing/describing how Dead Island will handle. While this is still a little bit of the case, we can glean a little more from the below screen shots and new trailer for the game. In fact some of the action shots show quite a bit that can be guessed at. The trailer on the other hand is not as informative, but it does hold a different view of the game world. Read More…

What's With The Nut Shots In Shadows Of The Damned

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 18th of May 2011 - 06:08 PM ]

So we are coming into the home stretch before Shadows Of The Damned will be hitting shelves. Just a little over a month last I checked. We've been give some interesting and, after I got a hold of it, controversial things for the game in the past, so what is to come now? More videos of madness? More odd creatures that will be trying to drag Garcia's girl deeper into the nether realm? Here's the funny thing here though. There are a few interesting and odd looking creatures in the below screen shots but notice that Garcia is aiming near the "junk area" when taking aim. Read More…

Batman Takes On FPS In Gotham City Impostors

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 17th of May 2011 - 05:27 PM ]

Here is where that pesky Batman: Arkham City multiplayer rumor got its foundation, well at least that is what I speculate. It looks like just before we get the new Arkham game we are getting Gotham City Imposters. Sounds like a weird Batman tribute white rapper band, but it is a new FPS from Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive. Wait a second. Read More…

Review: Subsonic Racin' Pro Chair

by Brian Bentley [ Monday, 16th of May 2011 - 09:37 PM ]

Who doesn’t dream of high-speed car chases and the thrill of racing? Well, the Racin’ Pro portable racing chair from Subsonic gets you just a little bit closer to that dream. Subsonic is giving players the tools to have a first class driving experience as if they were in the arcade themselves. What sets the Racin’ Pro chair apart from the competition is its portability. The chair and all of its pieces fold up into a backpack for easy transportation and storage. Setup is a breeze. Read More…

Finally Some Prototype 2 Screens

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 12th of May 2011 - 06:07 PM ]

Maybe it is just me, or because we are still a year out from launch, but the visuals for Prototype 2 don't seem to be going the way most sequels go. Usually there is some insane boost or extreme change in how things look. From the below screen I'd swear that they were take straight out of the first game. Not that it is a bad thing, but a little unexpected. I do have to say that some of these shots do have me raring to go back and play the original Prototype just because of how much fun I originally had. Read More…

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episode 5 - Sibling Rivalry...Kind Of

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 11th of May 2011 - 09:02 PM ]

The latest episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy has hit the web and it continues down the path of just retelling the story from the game. I have given up hope that they would begin to go back to the "reality based" version. So I am going to try and approach this from a different angle as my original excitement was for something that seems will never be. Anyway, this episode continues the animatic and story of Kitana and Mileena that was approached in last week's episode. It has the girls vying for their "father's" approval by fighting each other and following out assassination plots. Read More…

Activision To Release A New Call Of Duty, More Talk Of Project Beachhead

by Corey Dockendorf [ Wednesday, 11th of May 2011 - 03:54 PM ]

Monday brought a lot of long awaited, if not expected, news for the Activision Blizzard team. One important bit of news was a new Call of Duty title that would be released before the end of this year. With Call Of Duty: Black Ops the number one selling game in the US and Europe for the past three months, it's no surprise that Activision is going all in with this one. It's a safe bet that another CoD will sell just as well if not better than its predecessors. "This year's Call Of Duty initiatives will result in the best Call Of Duty experiences we have created to date," Kotick said. Read More…

Aggrocast Episode Eighty: Returning Without Our Privacy

by Brian Bentley [ Tuesday, 10th of May 2011 - 08:32 PM ]

The Aggrocast is back in a big way with Brian, Corey and David discussing the recent doings (or undoings) of the PlayStation Network - where they went wrong and David's soon-to-be copyrighted idea to fix it. Nintendo's next console also makes an appearance, as well as two new segments - Community Spotlight and Care/Don't Care. No podcast would be complete without a Whatcha Been Playing where the guys talk Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, Magicka, Dragon Age 2, Civilization 5, Game Dev Story, EA Sports Active 2 and a few beta releases. We are back! Read More…

Some Heavenly Sword 2 Information?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 10th of May 2011 - 06:01 PM ]

It is hard to believe it has been almost four years since Heavenly Sword hit the PS3, but it has been. It was an amazing game even though its sales were not overwhelming. I'd blame that on the rocky launch of the PS3 and the titles that had been pushed out for said launch. Who'd want to waste $60 on a new IP made specifically for the infant system at the time. Well this guy for one. The game ended leaving a want for a sequel from Ninja Theory. Read More…

Dark Of The Moon Shows How Bumblebee Stings

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 9th of May 2011 - 10:42 PM ]

Unlike Mass Effect 3, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is still on track for its June release. I mean it better be as Activision is trying to get it out in the same window as the upcoming film as well. A delay now would be retardababy. Or at least give us the promise that is not just a film tie-in and a real follow up to War For Cybertron. Well with the being on track and all, there are a few more screen shots from the game to take a look at. You can see them below. Read More…

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episode 4 - Let's Go To Outworld

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 9th of May 2011 - 03:48 PM ]

Um…I really don't know what to say this time. Other than it looks like the previously mentioned boat has now brought that jumper to the ramp before the shark. This new episode has completely deviated from the original pitch from last year. It reeks of either studio demands or that the production team stopped caring about bring what was originally hyped. I knew Baraka was going to be grossly different than the "real world" rendition, but they went all fantasy on it. Outside of fully deviating from the original gritty real world feel, most of this week's episode is also done in an animatic format. Read More…
