Sony’s Long Live Play Campaign is Epic
If you follow this site you know that I’m not a big fan of the PS3. Between updates almost everyday and PSN being down for almost a month I’m turned off by it. I do however love their commercials especially when they had Kevin Butler, Director of Rumor Confirmation / VP of Fanboy Relations / First Person Sensei, doing the It Only Does Everything campaign. His energy was great, the content was great and the fact that each time he had a new title, genius. He was gone for a while but came back as “President, Economic Flooring” with Sony’s new PS3 campaign Long Live Play. Read the rest of this article…
Forza Motorsport 4 Demo Now Available on Xbox Live
Forza Motorsport – probably the biggest name in racing simulations.
The first Forza game was released on the original Xbox in May of 2005 to amazing reviews and critical acclaim.
Now, nearly 6 and a half years later, it’s time to play the latest installment in the Forza series.
What The “Free” In Free To Play MMO Means
World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, Dungeons and Dragons Online… Lately, there’s been a huge spate of MMO’s changing to a “free to play” scheme. While the publishers of these games use the word “free”, we know that nothing in this world really is, so we have to ask: What does “free” really mean?
Rage – The New First Person Shooter By Bethesda Is Now Preloadable On Steam. Also, Gameplay Trailer.
Rage, the upcoming post apocalyptic shooter by Id and Bethesda (Publisher of the upcoming SkyRim), is set to release on October 4th and Bethesda and Steam have some really cool news for user of the Steam service.
The Fight For Inverted Controls
Maybe it was Halo that caused this whole thing. I remember being in college and having to summon a profile on a foreign Xbox during any number of tournaments and impromptu dorm room matches we had. It was inevitable: there was always some ragging going on because someone had to set sensitivities or invert the vertical aim. Somehow, we “inverted” players have a bad rap and I have no idea why. I honestly don’t even know what the percentage of players are one or the other, but I imagine I’m in the minority since it’s not standard in name or proxy. It only took one game to change me, but I play inverted and I love it. Let me explain my madness…
Battlefield 3 – Xbox 360 Open Beta Impressions
It looks like Electronic Arts is tired of letting Activision hold the monopoly on holiday blockbuster military shooters. It’s not that their Battlefield series has done poorly, it’s sold millions of copies, but it’s also not quite the household name that Call of Duty is. Battlefield 3 marks the franchise’s first major iteration in years and while it’s been primarily PC-based, EA wants to bring the experience to the consoles in a big way as it had previously brought the narrative-driven Bad Company games to that table. As someone who played plenty of 1942 (with Desert Combat) and Battlefield 2, I do have some faith in DICE’s abilities to satisfy. Today the public (read: not merely people who pre-ordered at <specific retailer> and got a code) were given a small slice of the game’s multiplayer mode ahead of its October 25th release date. So how was it?
Diablo 3 Gameplay Video #3
Yep, I’m still at it with Diablo 3 – hacking and slashing away at zombies, skeletons, carrion bats and big uglies.
In the third of my gameplay videos, I’m continuing where I left off with #2…Right before it glitched and a hundred million of those purple ball shooty thingies popped up and owned me in the face.
Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster – Demo Impressions
Hey, hey! I grew up on the stuff! I was watching Sesame Street loooooong before they put all their eggs in the Elmo basket (Grover FTW, fools). I don’t remember learning a whole lot from it because of the fractured, drawn out way it taught, so maybe I’m a genius because I watched it for years. I don’t know. I’d had my doubts about Double Fine developing the game, not because I didn’t think they could do it, I’ve loved Tim Schafer since Full Throttle, but because I figured this was the bottom. Frankly, none of their games have been successes, much less big ones, and this may be the only way that Double Fine will ever become a household name. So, uh, how’s the game?
Diablo 3 – Gameplay Video #2
As promised, we are going to keep bringing you Diablo 3 videos, right up until launch.
I spent some more time with the Wizard, and here’s what I have, so far.
Gears Of War 3 – Horde 2.0 Strategies
Gears of War 3 has been out for a week now and everyone and their mother is now on a mission to get to level 50 in horde mode, one of the more popular Gears 3 multiplayer modes and claim the achievement (I understand there’s 2 if you make it through all 50 in one sitting). The new version of the horde mode is fast, furious and brutal and if you’re not prepared in the later stages of the game, you’re in the stew in a really bad way.
So what’s the best way to make it through the levels and how are you supposed to deal with those pesky bosses?
I’ll tell you, after the jump.
