Rule Of 3 And The Gears Of War Compilation

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 21st of January 2011 - 06:21 PM ]

So just as Sony did when GoWIII was hitting its console, Epic is doing the same for GoW3 for the 360. Those titles being God of War III and Gears of War 3 respectfully before I move on. So yes this means that if for some reason you held out on getting either of the Gears of War titles, you can look forward to getting a combo pack with both of those games on disc to catch you up with everything before the big daddy hits. Since it is all about the number three here you also are getting the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection. That of course makes it a technical three titles in one box. Read More...

Review: LittleBigPlanet 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 18th of January 2011 - 10:22 PM ]

Sackboy is back and he is bringing a team of new characters, features and mini-games for the PS3's answer to Nintendo's Mario. Well Super Mario Bros. if you were then allowed to mod the game and pass out your mod to a huge network of players online. If you have not yet heard of LittleBigPlanet or LittleBigPlanet 2 you have been living a very sheltered life. All for no reason as well since the game appeals to a lot more than just you average gamer. Let me break it all down for you in LittleBigPlanet's coined terms for the game. Read More...

Story Time With The Helghast Of Killzone 3

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 17th of January 2011 - 07:02 PM ]

So here is further proof that an FPS can have a good story mixed in without the need for multi-player being the selling point. I mean let's face it, Killzone is not the franchise that all you multi-player freaks hop right out to go play. Don't you even try to deny it or swear that you do. You know just as well as I that is not true. That being the case obviously there has to be another great pull to the franchise to help sell millions of copies. It for sure isn't going to be the Move capabilities. Read More...

Bulletstorm To Blow Out Your Ass

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Sunday, 16th of January 2011 - 05:53 PM ]

If there is one person in the industry that I think is a little full of himself it is Cliff Bleszinski. He has been a huge influence and factor in some of the largest FPS titles out there. I get that. I respect him for that for the most part as well. I just wish he'd get over himself and the online "fame" he claims to have or that those fan boy/girls give him. Just because he is vocal doesn't make the man any more important. But now I am off the topic of why I even brought up "Cliffy B. Read More...

Mortal Kombat Has A Night Out With Mileena

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 12th of January 2011 - 11:25 PM ]

What would you do if you were forced to have a night out with Mileena from Mortal Kombat? What would the minds that put her together in the game want to do? Well we get answers to that and a few extras in the below video we have to bring you. Those extras by the way are some fun new game play with Mileena. Now while I personally wouldn't want to spend a night with Mileena, I do find some of the responses a bit funny. Like take her to a buffet and watch her go to town or the Thunder From Down Under responses. Read More...

A Date With Capcom At CES

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 12th of January 2011 - 05:20 PM ]

CES is generally not known for the game developers rocking out their new products and IPs. That is what E3 is for and we all know that. Capcom likes to break the mold and show up in force every year just to spread a bit more of the word on all of their upcoming titles. In this case, the titles were Marvel vs. Capcom 3, MotoGP 10/11, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and Okamiden - all of which I was able to put hands on. Let the impressions begin! Read More...

Impressions: DC Universe Online

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 7th of January 2011 - 02:12 PM ]

So here we are a week out from the launch of DC Universe Online and considerable time has been spent tweaking and fixing bugs in the beta, both on PC and PS3. I had the chance to be a part of the beta, along with all of you PSPlus subscribers or those lucky to have swagged a code to get in. If you don't fall into either of those categories, let me fill you in on what you have been missing out on. The Story Just like any RPG, be it MMO or Table Top, there is an ultimate evil trying to destroy/control the universe. In this case, it is Brainiac and he is doing it in the form of stealing all of the powers of the heroes and villains of the DC Universe. Read More...

Bulletstorm Will Help Sate That Gears Of War 3 Need

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 20th of December 2010 - 06:14 PM ]

No I'm not saying that Bulletstorm is going to be the stop gap in the need for Gears Of War 3. It will however score you a slot in the GoW3 beta. Well at least if you preorder the "Epic Edition" of Bulletstorm that is coming to the XBox 360. There is no price difference for the "Epic Edition" from any standard price for a new title ($59.99) but there are a few extras outside of the Gears beta. Those being 25,000 experience points and visual upgrades for the iconic leash, deadly Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor for online play. Read More...

The VGAs Tried To Augment Our Reality. How'd They Do?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 16th of December 2010 - 10:19 PM ]

So being as the VGAs have kind of moved away from being an awards show and are now just another way to sell ad space for gaming companies, you would think they would try to do something to bring gamers' interest back. Am I right? I mean you had the Brütal Legend hour-long ad when Jack Black hosted in 2008. In 2009, the biggest thing I remember was the teaser for Batman: Arkham City and a small attempt to get Samuel L. Jackson linked back into the show. Read More...

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Trailer AT VGA's

by Corey Dockendorf [ Monday, 13th of December 2010 - 09:22 PM ]

This weekend Bethesda revealed their latest endeavor with a new Elder Scrolls series during the Spike TV VGA's. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the long awaited sequel to Oblivion. The teaser doesn't give us much except for a little bit of story and some awesome stone wall which comes to life. If you want to take a full look at the wall check out the Skyrim teaser site. Skyrim also brings with it new technology, a new graphics/game play engine actually. Bethesda has announced that this time around they will be using a custom built game engine that will be more powerful than the previous Gamebryo engine which brought us Oblivion, Morrowind, and Fallout 3.

Mass Effect 3 Announced At VGA's

by Corey Dockendorf [ Monday, 13th of December 2010 - 05:31 PM ]

Well I think we all saw this coming. Mass Effect 3 revealed its debut trailer at the Spike TV VGA show this weekend. This was by far one of the most anticipated announcements for the VGA's, with BioWare running a Facebook and Twitter campaign leading up to its debut. Mass Effect 3 is slated for a holiday 2011 release, but as we all know that can change. This is the final chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy, focusing on Commander Shepard and his battle against the Reapers, except this time they've decided to hit home and invade planet Earth! We've all seen this formula before (*cough* Halo *cough*) but hopefully BioWare will be able to add its own flare on an already used up storyline. Read More...

Batman To Take On The Military In Arkham City

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Saturday, 11th of December 2010 - 12:03 AM ]

At least that is the impression the below teaser for Batman: Arkham City is giving off. Unless some super villain inside has their gang always dress up like someone from a Tom Clancy novel. Something that would seem odd but I guess the people over at Rocksteady Games could find a way to make it work with DC's approval. But this is only one thing that caught my eye here. What caught my eye is the graphics here. Read More...
