king zarkon gets his ass handed to him! (again)

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:25:39 -0400

San Diego Comic-Con is just a couple days away, and we’re expecting to get a peek at THQ’s Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Based on the 80’s anime series, Voltron is a combination of five robot lions controlled by members of the Voltron Force who join into this massive kick-ass robot to defend the universe from King Zarkon of Planet Doom. Nowadays this would be considered extremely gay, but in the 80’s, it was the poster child of badassness. Optimus Prime better watch out! Voltron: Defender of the Universe is scheduled for release October 2011 on PSN and XBLA.

Activision gets a little butt-hurt

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:15:21 -0400

Last week, Activision filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum in an attempt to seize the domain, ModernWarfare3.com. An unidentified person had registered the domain with GoDaddy.com back in March 2009. Clearly dissatisfied since the MW2 release, said individual began posting negative comments about the franchise and recently started promoting EA’s Battlefield 3. Activision must have really pissed this guy off because the domain began redirecting visitors to the Battlefield 3 website. Following this complaint, we all know lawsuits are inevitable because some major corporate crybaby forgot to secure his property’s domain name. I think Activision needs to quit being whiney little bitches and accept the fact their ass got punked! Regardless of how amusing this is, let your game do the talking, not some internet fanboy. With all the attention on this matter, expect to see more incidents like this in the future. Fusible.com has posted the complaint for viewing at this link, http://fusible.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Modernwarfare3-Com-Udrp-Complaint.pdf

sexy, steamy, puzzles

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:51:12 -0400

The North American demo for Catherine drops on XBLA and the PlayStation Store a little later today!

If its anything like the Japanese demo (and I’m assuming it is) it should run about 20 minutes long, depending on how well you do at solving the puzzles. If you know nothing about the game, then it is definately something you should have your eye on, especially since it releases soon.

The Black Ops: Limited Edition some of us have been waiting for!

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:56:19 -0400

Activision has confirmed that they will be releasing a limited edition of Black Ops which will include a redemption code for the first downloadable content, “First Strike” (which cost $15 alone!). This limited edition will cost $59.99 and will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I’m still not going to invest in it, but this is kinda nice for those that haven’t bought Black Ops yet.

Move like an idiot, kill like a Spartan

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:38:57 -0400

Guess what’s gonna have Kinect support? If you said “Halo!”, you’d be right.

In an interview with Gamespot, Phil Spencer noted that Halo: Anniversary will have Kinect support. Sadly, thats all we know about it. No word was said pertaining to how the game would use Kinect, just that it would use it. So don’t get your hopes up and Recon Armor polished off just yet.

A dollar's worth of difficulty (and then some...)

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:38:18 -0400

For some, it would seem that the days of challenging 2D platformers is bygone, but luckily, Magiko Gaming has you covered! Today Magiko is releasing the follow-up to Platformance: Castle Pain, and its called Platformance: Temple Death. The game will only set you back a buck, and will offer quite a bit of challenge, while boasting more checkpoints than its previous installment (which should ease your rage quitting a little). Pick it up on XBLA later today!

Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami have new voices!

Sat, 18 Jun 2011 17:17:20 -0400

Usually dev diaries are fairly boring…not this one, though! In their most recent dev diary for Shadows of the Damned (due out June 24th), SUDA and Shinji talk alittle about the gameplay of Shadows of the Damned, but the best reason to watch this is totally for the rediculous new voices that they’re rockin’ throughout. Just watch it for yourself!

Ps: might not be SFW due to lots of profanity and gore and junk

Enjoy it!

Pre-Order Black Ops 'Annihilation' from Gamestop

Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:33:28 -0400

But why should you when it can be downloaded straight to your console? I don’t know. Better yet, are they going to run out of download codes for this content? Probablyy not. So, uhhh … yeah, I really don’t know why you’d need to pre-order Annihilation, but the option is out there, I guess. And you can trade in stuff towards the purchase. Wooooo. -___-

Redbox game rentals are go!

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 19:13:14 -0400

As of tomorrow, Redbox, that large red machine at your local grocery store or mall, will begin to host game rentals. If I recall correctly, game rentals will cost $2 a day, and just like movie rentals, they will auto-renew on your credit card if you don’t bring them back. At launch only a few titles will be available and here’s a list of em’:

Brink [PS3, 360, Wii]
LA Noire [PS3]
Infamous [PS3]
COD: Black Ops [PS3, 360, Wii]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon [PS3, 360, Wii]

So, uh, that’s kinda something to look forward to I guess (even though Gamefly is better).

Skarlet is a real glitch!

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 19:12:39 -0400

Skarlet, once a character only playable by way of glitch, will soon be a downloadable character for Mortal Kombat 9. She will cost $4.99 (or 400 MS points), and will be available next week.

Black Ops: Annihilation Map Pack

On June 28th, Treyarch will release its third map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Although no price has been announced, it will most likely cost $15, the same as the previous map packs. Annihilation will include four maps: Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo, and Hazard, as well as an “all-new Zombies experience, Shangri-La”. This map is set to incorporate “deadly traps, dark secrets, and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters.” Hm. We’ll see, Mark Lamia (Black Op’s studio chief). 5 maps for $15. Add the previous map packs in the mix, and that brings the grand total to $45 for 15 maps. LOLOLOL.

Playstation and PC users will also most likely be able to snag this map pack for themselves a month after the Xbox release.

For those of you that still haven’t seen any gameplay for Child of Eden, here’s some super sexy gameplay for your eyes to go nuts over.
