So, it turns out Left 4 Dead is a pretty good game, to put it mildly. We hyped it like mad here, and for the most part, it lived up to our expectations. It's one of the most fun experiences on any console this season.
Remember the good ol' days when rap stars would feud about who's the better lyrical gangster? A time when lyrics consisted of trash talkin ho's, shooting off 9's, and of course magical blunts? No more my friends, as the rap war has bled into the video game industry thanks to the likes of 50 Cent and Soulja Boy.
Pandemic has announced a brand new content pack for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames called the "Blow it up Again" pack. The new pack is FREE and is now available on the PlayStation Network for download, with the Xbox 360 version coming out Tuesday, December 16th. But it will only be free until the end of the year, so make sure you snag it ASAP!
Here's a slightly off topic news post. We all know there's an ongoing battle for the best music game out there. Whether it's Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Rock Revolution everyone has an opinion on which one plays better, has better music and has the best co-op experience.
The weekend is finally upon us, and after the week I had, it couldn't be more welcome. Here's what the staff is up to this weekend.
GameTrailers has a funny new video that shows off some melee combat moves in Resident Evil 5. The entire video is set in an alley, where Chris and Sheva take turns kicking, punching, and shooting zombies until they stop moving.
Slowly but surely the Playstation Network is building up a collection of co-op games for you and your friends to enjoy. The latest addition to this collection is an update of a PC shoot ‘em up game that was released a year ago, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer (roughly pronounced zoh-dner ex, him-mill styurhmer), or Mercenary-X: Heaven Stormer.
So far, we haven't seen any prominent complaints in our forums about the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, released December 2nd. Arguably, most of our users are console gamers; so this isn't much of a surprise, considering that the console versions have been on the market for months already.
The Gears of War franchise is a little bit like the Wii: it just keeps printing money. Not only is it one of the best co-op series on any platform, but it is selling like snowcones in a heatwave. It just makes sense that Epic will be working on a new Gears game, if they aren't already, right?
The upcoming Resident Evil game looks to have a prominent character in the series kick the bucket. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has run an ad for Resident Evil 5, call Biohazard in Japan, featuring the details. We aren't going to spoil it for you, but the above picture features the character's name. Of course, this could just be a cruel trick on Capcom's part, or perhaps it's somehow integrated into the story. Maybe the goal of the game is to use the Umbrella virus to bring this charcter back to life?
I spy with my little eye a BAPenguin avatar! Can you see it? The Good Major has brought word that Xbox 360 owners can download a neat and free app called the SnowGlobe which puts your friends list inside a..uh...snow globe. Watch as the helplessly try to get out of your maniacal trap; tapping on the glass, screaming for help, and desperately gasping for air. Ok, so I made that last part up, but you can shake it and watch it snow. White X360-Mas indeed.
