A few weeks ago on Kojima Productions website an image surfaced giving a clue to what the next metal gear is going to be. It seems some new info has emerged in the gaming magazine Famitsu who are reporting that the next metal gear game will be for the Iphone.

MGS Touch for iPod and iPhone. Will use "MGS4's worldview." Looks like it has nice graphics. A shooter for release in spring 2009.

Game looks pretty sick from the trailers although it is a movie game so don't expect too much. It looks like they're going for a Gears of War feel to it with the sliding into cover and stop and pop game play but that's not a bad thing at all. It wouldn't make much sense to have John Connor be the new Master Chief. I won't lie, they've peaked my interest and I hope we hear more about it soon. Continue Reading»

Yeah kids are killing parents nowadays and yes it's disgusting. This case in particular makes me sick to my stomach. This little punk shot his parents because he was forbidden to buy and play Halo 3, this led to long arguments with the family until one night the teen had enough and needed to have Halo 3. With intent of killing both of his parents the 16 year old psycho (Daniel Petric) snuck out, bought halo 3, and put it in his lockbox, which also contained a 9mm handgun. On October 20th, 2007 Daniel Petric took the 9mm Handgun to the family room and said "Would you guys close your eyes?" "I have a surprise for you" It was then Daniel Petric shot both of his parents in the head, His mother died instantly. His father (Mark Petric) survived due to the untimely arrival of his daughter and her husband, who had come over to watch the Cleavland Indians game. According to Daniel Petric's lawyer, Daniel had been under a lot of stress due to a snowboarding accident and had nothing to do but watch television and play video games. This apparently is enough motive for a person to kill their parents... Honestly that sounds like the life to me, TV and Video Games all day? How does that stress you out? People like Daniel Petric disgust me. In my eyes he was a spoiled brat who couldn't get his way and somebody died for it. He should be locked up and the key should be thrown away. I believe he knew what he was doing and he should definitely be punished for it. Durring court Daniel Petric said to his father "Dad I'm sorry for what I did to mom, to you and the family. I'm so glad your alive". Apparently that's enough for a man whose wife had just been killed because all Mark Petric said was "You're my son, You're my boy" which sound like words of forgiveness to me. Now honestly you can say this is a case of bad parenting, you can blame it on the video games, but honestly I just think the kid is plain psycho, I mean just look at him he looks like a mentally unstable person. This however is a tragedy and should never have happend in the first place. Daniel Petric plead not guilty in a court of law and hopefully he will be tried as an adult and locked up for the rest of his pathetic excuse for a life. Hey kid there's no Halo 3 in jail, sucks for you. Continue Reading»

At long last, Fight Night Round 4. I personally, love Fight Night Round 3 and played it so much I was actually ranked 200 in the world over Xbox Live. I think FNR4 is going to change the fighting and make it more like a real boxing match. The idea to change the gameplay gives me a little bit of skepticism but it may also be for the best. The Fight Night series has never left me with disappointment so I have high hopes that Round 4 will leave me with a smile on my face. Expect a full written review when it comes out later next year.

I myself am a huge fan of the God Of War series this is a short but sweet trailer for the new game. Continue Reading»

Two videos are came out today of a hidden unlockable in Gears of War 2's single player. I think it's pretty cool that the games been out for two months and people are just finding this out now when in most games people find all the little easter eggs in about a week. Makes me wonder if Epic has any other little surprises in store for us. When riding the derrick, three cowboy hats are hidden around the trail and after shooting them, everyone in the game will wear one. The first video is where the locations are and how to find the hats.



And I don't want to spoil the second one. Just watch it and enjoy.

Most people were pretty excited last night about the announcement of the Combustible Map Pack for Gears of War 2. Three new maps less than two months after the game came out. What could be bad about that right? Answer: everything. I'm not complaining that we're getting maps. I love when developers reward their fans for their purchase. My problem is this, they cost 800 Microsoft points or in real people money ten dollars. TEN FUCKING DOLLARS. For three maps. Really guys? They could have just thrown in the original maps that aren't in Gears 2 and I would've been fine with it. Believe me I was all for Epic doing the five "free" maps for purchasing a new copy of the game instead of a used one from Gamestop. This though is where I draw the line and just say "What the fuck?"

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE HD


Looks pretty awesome though I'm not surprised considering they were advertising the trailer for Wolverine in the commercials for The Day the Earth Stood Still. Gambit looks like he'll be pretty cool in action and I'm happy they actually got someone that could act to play Sabretooth. Only thing I was disappointed in was there wasn't much Deadpool but hopefully that will change in the movie. Continue Reading»

I've been excited about this one since it first popped up in Game Informer and was heart broken when rumors circulated it had been canceled. I'm ecstatic to see its been picked up and will definitly be coming out soon. Continue Reading»

Still up in the air about this one. A couple of the fighting moves look pretty cool but it looks like there isn't much to do to interact with the levels. It is apparently confirmed however that it will be a download instead of a retail purchase which means it probably won't be too expensive and that is always a plus in my book.

Big announcement tonight concerning people aching for more head stomping goodness. Gears of War 2's first map pack will go live tonight about 3am EST. The three maps are Flood, Gold Rush and Fuel Station. No word on pricing yet but it'll probably run between 5 and 10 dollars. Coupled with the fact that most matchmaking problems have reportedly been solved make this a very good week to be a Gears fan. Continue Reading»

Don't even know what to say about this one. Continue Reading»

So Wired has put up a list of their most disappointing games of 2008 and I think it's safe to say they haven't played a single one of the games. Dead Space came in at 5 followed by Prince of Persia at number 4 on this joke of a list. You know what apparently wasn't as disappointing as those two games that were both critically praised? Too Human. Yes Too Human, a game that had been in development for 10 years, already had been planned as a trilogy, and caused many of the developing staff to be fired after its terrible performance both critically and financially is a better game than either one of those.

The list goes as follows:

10)Age of Conan(Lets female avatars have tits almost the size of the guys playing them)
9) EndWar (Are you really telling me you expected something of this game)
8)Too Human ( AKA The Most Disappointing Game of 2008)
7) Stalker: Clear Sky (Was anyone looking forward to this?)
6)Mirror's Edge (Only 6?)
5)Dead Space ( Were you expecting the game to give you a blow job as you played?)
4)Prince of Persia (IGN Score= 9.3)
3)Mario Kart Wii (Are you really hating on Mario Kart?)
2)Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Still better than the holiday special)
1)Spore(The game that hundreds of thousands of people illegally downloaded?) Continue Reading»

Personally I think Final Fantasy XIII:Versus looks better. Also it has been said the combat is going to feel more like Kingdom Hearts where as Final Fantasy XIII will be completely different. Versus in that way is more appealing to me, although I don't believe there is any actual gameplay in either of these trailers I'm sure Final Fantasy fans will enjoy.

Above is a scan of a recent issue of Famitsu which shows Chris Redfield kneeling at the grave of Jill Valentine. The rumor mill is buzzing about the fate of the "master of unlocking". I don't see Capcom killing off such a major character as Jill before the game even starts and if anything she's probably just MIA and will save you towards the end of the game. On the other hand though, killing off such a major player in the RE franchise might add something to the games knowing that no one, not even one of the original characters is safe. Feel free to share your thoughts on whether this is a good move by Capcom or other possibilies to where Jill has run off to. Continue Reading»

Troy Dixon, best known as Terence "T-bag" Brown in Pure Pwnage, was killed Saturday night in a car accident. While I haven't been following Pure Pwnage lately, it's always a tragedy to see a young person die so unexpectedly. Below is his debut on PP, "Straight Outta Blood Gulch".

So the Playstation Home beta is now available and the reviews so far have been less than stellar. Within the home community, you can bowl and play arcade games but there are only a set number of them to go around and if another Home user is playing it, you can't. Now keep in mind this is only the beta and if they are already having problems with people not being able to do things, so imagine when the full version goes up with all Playstation owners. Penny Arcade had a few less than positive things to say:


"Here is everything you need to understand about Home, if you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the Playstation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit."
and
"There are things about Home that are simply beyond my understanding. Chief among these bizarre maneuvers is the idea that, when manufacturing their flimsy dystopia, they actually ported the pernicious notion of scarcity from our world into their digital one. This is like being able to shape being from non-being at the subatomic level, and the first thing you decide to make is AIDS."


Doesn't look like Home will be the XBL killer it was touted to be but hopefully Sony can get it up to at least be somewhat functional within the year. Continue Reading»
