So many games... so little time. We don't know what to do with ourselves! This gaming season's military FPS war begins with Battlefield 3 firing the first rounds tomorrow. A host of other games of varying genres are joining the fray, each looking for a piece of that substantial holiday pie. What will you be playing?
Good Co-Op, Bad Co-Op - a tale of two friends who love playing games together. The man who gives the best upsidedown hugs, Sunflower4000 and the love wizard Locke have put their differences aside and teamed up cooperatively in a battle against fate.
The fall hunting season is in effect here in Texas. Bow hunters litter the temperate wilderness of the Lone Star State every weekend, and come November the rifle shooters will join them. It’s an exciting time of the year for yours truly, a novice deer hunter. But until the season officially starts there are precious few ways to hold back the buck fever. Can Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 fill the void? It's a long shot, but that's why we have a big scope.
What could quite possibly be Drake's biggest adventure yet is a mere week away. That's right, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception hits store shelves next Tuesday, November 1 and I for one can't wait to see what's up with that smoking plane in the background. Developer Naughty Dog has brought out out the big guns in anticipation of the game's release, and we're not just talking about another launch trailer...
It's been more than two years since a new MechWarrior game was announced. Now it seems details are about to resurface for the Piranha games developed reboot of the classic PC series. Over the past few days a new twitter account has gone live; the Inner Sphere News is currently tweeting "encoded" pieces of a larger image of a some form of Mech.
Dance Central 2 comes out this Tuesday and includes 45 different songs - my favorites are ‘Technologic’ by Daft Punk and ‘Satellite’ by Lena. Gamers who want more songs would usually need to either export the first game’s soundtrack for 400 Microsoft Points or buy individual DLC tracks for 320 Points a pop. Thankfully this week happens to be Kinect’s one year anniversary, and that means DLC sales a-plenty!
Don't blink. Not even for a second. You might miss the transition in the latest TV trailer for Battlefield 3 which seamlessly blends real world warfare action with scenes from the game. Can you tell the difference?
As we previously reported, the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 will include an optional hi-res texture installation. The installation is necessary because the game’s textures are quite large, and hard drives can stream data much faster than DVD drives. Why make it optional then? Because not every 360 owner has a hard drive, of course. That's common knowledge by now, but new details have started to pour in.
Hey there! Blizzcon 2011 is in full swing, and Co-Optimus was awesome enough to let me cover it. Now, I'm not what you would call a "Blizzard Expert," or even a "PC gamer," but I can take a damn fine grainy photo or two! Feast your eyes on some of the sights of Blizzcon 2011! Blizzard out did themselves this year, with several gigantic bad-ass character statues. I also took a trip through their art gallery, as well as captured some of the tournaments, panels, and presentations in action. We'll have more news from Blizzcon for you soon!
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will be receiving some DLC this coming week. It makes protagonist Frank West a cyborg. No, really: it's called the Cyborg Skills Pack. Apparently being a cyborg increases your melee damage, adds electricity bonus damage to your normal attacks, and increases all electrical appliance effects and damage, because that's what the Cyborg Skills Pack does.
You can imagine my surprise and shame when I learned recently of an arcade game based on the classic 1984 film Ghostbusters. Compounding my embarrassment was the fact that it would have been a natural tie-in to cover this title when the Ghostbusters games were released on modern consoles in 2009. Sheepish, I grabbed my ten year old son, handed him a controller, and we played a session of The Real Ghostbusters in MAME. It was a mixed experience, to put it delicately.
