We get press releases all the time, and most are pretty boring. But every once in a while, one comes along that blows us away. Such was the case when we received the news that the next Game With Fame night features "Weird Al" Yankovic, and one of our favorite music games, Guitar Hero 5. We just might wrap up and roll around in a roll of bubble wrap, we're so excited!
If you played the Dark Carnival campaign in Left 4 Dead 2, you know it ends with a rocking good time featuring the music of a certain band called the Midnight Riders. While the Riders never appear in the game, they do have their own website, which perhaps alludes to an upcoming expansion featuring the cast of four characters.
For the second time in a row, our family Thanksgiving meal was hosted at my house. Seven guests attended, three of which were gamers at heart, and three casual gamers. Since none of us are football fans in anything more than minimal capacity, the most obvious post-dinner activity is firing up a video game console and pile into the upstairs entertainment room.
Before heading up to Montreal for the Army of Two: The 40th Day event, we made a post on our boards asking for any questions our community might have for the game�s developers. Today, we provide the answers to those questions.
PC Borderlands players have had to wait up until now, but the first DLC is now available. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned can be purchased at the link below for those who have a retail copy, and via Steam or Direct2Drive those who downloaded the game over the interwebz.
A few weeks ago we told you about Revenge of the Wounded Dragons and how it would be available "soon" on the PlayStation Network. Soon has arrived, as this Thursday, December 10th, the two player co-op title will be released. Soon you'll be trekking across the world with your red or blue brother by your side trying to save your sister from the certain clutches of doom. No, not that Doom.
The console version of Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce offers 40 exclusive quests over the PSP version, and we have 12 new screenshots of those 40 quests in action. The Dynasty Warriors Franchise has been going strong since the launch of the PlayStation 2, and the latest title features a first for the series: four player online co-op.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was released this week on DVD and Blu-Ray, so what better time to explore next year's Harry Potter videogame called LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. There's no firm release date yet, but we do know the title will support co-op play in similar fashion to other LEGO titles.
G4TV sat down with Bungie's Joseph Staten, Lars Bakken, Curtis Creamer, and Brian Jarrard to talk about Halo 3: ODST, and reflect back on the title. A large part of the interview talks about the game's identity crisis, and how it changed over time from a mini-game to a full blown retail product. The guys discuss how this hurt them in the reviews, but overall, didn't seem to affect sales at the end.
It's time once again to break out that Axe and shred some metal. Oh, and don't forget to melt faces. A demo for Guitar Hero Van Halen has found its way to Xbox Live and it features four songs, two of which are by Van Halen. Um, what?
Sega has announced the open beta of Empire: Total War's multiplayer campaign. While the beta is focused on versus combat, there is an option for "comp stomping."
Our coverage from the Army of Two: The 40th Day Community Event in Montreal continues today with an interview with the game�s multiplayer Lead Designer, Eric Chartrand.
