Those who dare and talk about video games with me know my strong hatred for Peter Molyneux. I hated fable 2 more then anyone on Planet Earth and weather you liked Fable 2 or not you should educate yourself with this developer and know where you're 60$ went when you bought his shitty game. These are 5 Reasons to Hate Peter Molyneux...
1. Remember all the promises with Fable 1? Co-op, 30-40 hours of gameplay, The tons of sidequests that would of kept you occupied for days? Yeah I don't remember seeing any of that either. FUCK LYIN' HEAD STUDIOS!
2. How's about that co-op in Fable 2? How much fun was that? Yeah I had a blast while I was restricted from using my character in my friends game while I watch him kill everything with his awesome character. Didn't he say you would be able to use you're character in you're friends game? Instead you were stuck using a pre-made character who sucked ass. Also everytime the host paused the game you had to wait, do you know how many times you have to pause in fable 2!? I should have known something was up when you couldn't play co-op until you downloaded a patch.
3. The way he sucks Media Molecule's and Sony's dicks. Hey Pete you make Xbox Exclusives stop sucking on Little Big Planets dick already. If you wanna make exclusives for PS3 go the fuck ahead, leave Xbox and never come back. If not, shut you're mouth, you make Xbox look bad and I hope they disown you're bald ass for it. Some people will say "It's nice to see respect amongst developers" I disagree, especially when they are some of you're biggest competitors. It just sounds like he wants on PS3 too, so he can suck as much money out of Xbox and Sony combined like the money sucking leech that he is.
4. His Aspirations as a developer. In an interview with Gametrailers Peter said he is looking forward to making a sports game or a driving game, also plans making Fable 3, 4, 5 etc. The mere thought of this individual making more games tortures me. This means he will continue to make games that don't live up to the hype he presents. To me that is worse then making a bad game because that means you are lying to the public and there is nothing worse then a liar. He is notorious for giving gamers false information on his games but yet people still buy them. Some will argue by saying "He says these things are in the game because during development they work but were later taken out of the final game because of complications" Yes I believe that is true but why don't you correct yourself Peter and tell us "Oh yeah that really cool thing I mentioned won't be apearing in the game sorry there were gameplay issues". Don't just let me expect it the whole time and get really pissed off when I don't see it in the game. I urge people to not buy his next game no matter what it is. Peter Molyneux said the 1st Fable would have tons of features that failed to appear in the final product. Fable 2 followed the same pattern, although not as many features were left out in the second production of the game, it still had tons of problems. That's promises broken two times in a row. I think Fable 3 will also come with a huge side of disappointment, because Peter Molyneux is a creature of habit and has not proven otherwise.
5. His Wikipedia definition: Lauded as one of the world's most brilliant and inventive game developers, Molyneux has nevertheless acquired a reputation for issuing over-enthusiastic descriptions of games under development, which are found to be somewhat less ambitious when released. The most well-known case of this was with the game Fable, released in 2004 without many of the features talked about by Molyneux in press interviews during development. After the release, Molyneux publicly apologized for overhyping the game That my friends says it all.
I'm sure many will disagree with my hatred for Peter Molyneux but it is my outlook on this individual and I just figure people should know a little more about this British tool bag.

Good god this game looks terrible in motion. I posted some screens a few days ago and they looked pretty solid, but after seeing the game in action I think its safe to say this game looks completely ridiculous. From the shitty graphics down to its retarded storyline there is just no possible way this game could be good. I mean, look at this tool their interviewing, could they have a bigger idiot to promote their game? I mean the guy has trouble saying "technologically" and its pathetic yet hilarious for he truly has no idea how to say that word. I guess they got most of their caveman ideas from this retard... While he further embarrasses himself, he goes on to explain that you will be fighting other cavemen and half naked DJ women as if it sounds like a good idea. The story for this masterpiece is, the Mob creates cavemen, they betray you so you get a stupid arm, now go kill other cavemen and get revenge...That's pretty much it, doesn't it sound great? Seriously if this game sells more then 3 copies I will be completely surprised. I guess the only reason you should watch this video is to see how stupid the guy is, and see how horrible this game looks... Ugh his stupid Brooklyn accent is so annoying.

We here at GBU love Left 4 Dead. That is, we love playing it together when all of us are on the same team. What we hate is playing with the absolute ree ree's that play Xbox Live. There will always be some asshole who despite the opportunity to sneak by one of the games hardest enemies, the Witch, decides to shoot her instead, usually culminating in one of the groups members dead. Eminem, obviously having the same problem, has a friendly message to all of you players who like to shoot the scary little girl with big claws.
If you're a Final Fantasy fan odds are you've had you're eye on this one for a while now. But how big of a fan are you? If you truly are a fan of Final Fantasy you should remember that Dissidia isn't the first fighting game coming from Square-Enix. The first fighting game featuring Final Fantasy characters was known as "Ehrgiez". It featured many characters including Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth, Vincent, Zack, Etc. If you remember this game consider yourself a true fan. If you don't know what I'm talking about take a look below and see for yourself. Also expect a full written review on Dissidia: Final Fantasy, from me when it comes out later this year.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, the director of the Broadway show "Cats", is planning on getting into the video game world with adaptations of his shows. Yes you heard that right. Someone is actually making a video game adaptation of the fucking musical Cats. This is the dumbest video game news I have ever heard in my life. Details on the video game adaptation of Queer as Folk are still being kept quiet as is information for peripherals. Penny Arcades got a good strip on it that's worth checking out. Continue Reading»
Good news for those of us that never got to get our hands on the Japanese demo of Resident Evil 5. The demo will be hitting North American shores on January 26th for Xbox Live subscribers and will be hitting the PSN a week later.

In a recent interview, Samuel L. Jackson, AKA The Baddest Motha Fucka on the Planet, stated he does not know if he will return as Nick Fury, AKA The Baddest Motha Fucka on the Marvel Planet. According to Jackson:
"There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world. It now appears that somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won't be in it."
Fuck. Marvel I don't care how much money you have to give him, you better fucking make this happen. You went out of your way to put Sam Jackson in a cameo to set up for future movies, even modeling the Ultimate version of Nick Fury after Samuel Jackson, and now your going to take it away? No. Hopefully this is just a way for Jackson to make it public that negotiations aren't going as planned and will use the fan backlash as support as others have done in the past. If you want to know what Ultimate Nick Fury looks like, feast your eyes on the shocking similarity.
A couple of new pictures surfaces online today for the upcoming movie adaptation of "Kick-Ass", the ultra violent comic series from writer Mark Millar, best known for his work on "Wanted" and "The Ultimates". The above picture shows the title character in his costume. First let me say this for anyone that hasn't followed the comic. It isn't supposed to be serious. He's just some geeky kid that wants to be a superhero. That being said the costume looks true to how ridiculously retarded looking a 16 year old boy would make his costume.
The second photo shows Dave Lizewski,AKA Kick-Ass, in a comic shop, the place where he got his inspiration to be a superhero. He's the one in the middle with the fro and big glasses. Up until now I hadn't known what the actor playing him looks like and he fits the geeky character pretty well. The final picture is of Nick Cage and movie daughter who he will train to become "Hit-Girl", the katana wielding vigilante. I really hope they don't shy away from making her the violent creature she is because the look of an 11 year old girl murdering a room full of drug dealers is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time. This is Hit-GirlContinue Reading»
First line of the review was enough for me. Star Wars Battlefront was a pretty bad game aimed toward a very specific crowd of heavy Star Wars fans. Conquest keeps the "fun" alive with another game with mediocre gameplay surviving off a fan base. Choosing your own class is always a plus but also can only go so far. This title looks like Battlefront with swords and hobbits and while IGN was kind with a 7.0, I don't know if I'd be so generous with a game in a played out and uncreative genre. I'd like to take the lot of these games and boil em' mash em' stick em' in a stew. And on that note, que the music..
Deadly Creatures is truly an original idea. What makes this game so original is the fact that the two main characters are a scorpion and a tarantula. WARNING: If you have a serious case of arachnophobia you probably shouldn't watch this trailer. The tittle is in the action-adventure genre, so there are plenty of icky battles with lots of insect goo and tons of little legs flailing everywhere. Deadly Creatures creates a new perspective by making the player see through the many eyes of an insect. The combat will be varied, whether it be fighting other insects, rats, snakes or even the deadliest of them all humans, it all looks really fun. Personally I think this is one of the better tittles on the Wii and its worth a look. It sure is different from all the other lame games Nintendo keeps pumping out of its big vagina.

Sony's shares plunged Tuesday on reports that the iconic Japanese electronics maker is sinking into its first yearly operating loss in 14 years as sales fizzle for digital cameras, flat-panel TVs and other gadgets.
The media reports, coming just weeks after Toyota forecast its first annual operating loss in 70 years, highlight the pain even Japan's premier brands are suffering amid the global slowdown.
The nation's top business daily The Nikkei reported Tuesday that Sony was expected to rack up a 100 billion yen ($1.1 billion) operating loss this fiscal year ending March, its first since 1995.
Behind the dismal outlook are faltering sales of liquid crystal display TVs and other goods, especially in the key U.S. and European markets, The Nikkei said, adding that operating losses could balloon to as much as 200 billion yen ($2.2 billion).

The Dark Knight may not be the last Batman movie Christopher Nolan directs. Although there has been rumors saying otherwise, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel for Batman fans. The Dark Knight had left many audiences unsure if Two Face died from the fall at the end of the movie. To help clear things up Aaron Eckhart said in September "He is dead as a door nail. ... He ain't coming back baby." For some that meant maybe the whole Batman 3 is out of the question and there was no hope for trilogy. However it seems Eckhart is rephrasing what he said. While asked the same question by MTV news last Sunday he replied ""I think Harvey -- if he's not dead -- is in a serious coma and I'm not sure he's coming out. They might pull the plug on him." This leads to tons of skepticism and questions; Did they offer Eckhart another role in a new Batman? Why would Eckhart rephrase his statement? Is Batman 3 in production? And is Nolan directing? Hopefully these questions will be answered in due time. Till then I will wait patiently for Nolan's next flick.

Best Buy has a pretty sick sale going on for a little while. Relatively new titles are going for extremely cheap prices. How cheap? $9.99 cheap. Not shitty games either. Ninja Gaiden II and Condemned 2: Blood Shot are among the list of 10 dollar games and the extremely under rated Battlefield: Bad Company is going for $19.99. I won't lie, I skipped out on a couple of these titles when they first came out but I will definitely be picking these up tomorrow. Hurry up because these games are sure to fly off the shelves. Some of the other games are:
We here at GBU love Rock Band. My biggest problem with it though is that it takes up so much freaking space in my room. If I do finally fit the drums into my closet, it just becomes a hassle to take it out, move everything around, set it up, and then finally put it back again. And then there's the guitars you've gotta worry about and the microphone and the extra wires. Luckily for those of you looking for a easier solution, Amazon.com has an ottoman that doubles as a Rock Band storage unit. It fits the microphone, two guitars, bass pedal, and the drums all very easily. It even has a retractable drum stand so you don't even have to take it out to play. Amazon.com's selling it for about $180.00 and while a bit pricey, you've gotta think that it also doubles as a good piece of furniture. Not to mention, most girls probably don't find it a turn on to see your little plastic drum set in the corner of your place so it's probably worth it in the long run.

Even as our economy hit record lows, comic sales were going up thanks in no small part to blockbuster movies that helped boost interest in the medium again. Marvel dominated the charts, taking in 46% of sales as compared to DC's 32%. All eight issues of Secret Invasion were on the Top 10 list. The final two were Uncanny X-men #500 and DC's Final Crisis #1. Bad news for DC as no issues of their two biggest books besides Final Crisis #1. While Final Crisis can be choked up to no one liking it after the first issue, Batman R.I.P., a book that DC has been hyping for over a year failed to scratch the top 10 despite a hugely successful movie. Luckily, thanks to The Dark Knight and the overwhelmingly positive hype around The Watchmen, DC was able to take the majority of trade paperback sales. While this may have saved DC from being completely embarrassed, another Batman movie won't be out for a few years and half of their best selling paperbacks were Batman books. While these books are in fact great reads, all of them except for Brian Azzarello's Joker graphic novel are old books. It should scare DC execs that none of their new series are selling very well and the fact that they don't have any movies involving DC U characters to boost sales means it may be a very bad year for the company.

New info about Fable 2's upcoming DLC entitled "Knothole Island". I'm gonna try not to spoil anything for those that haven't played the entire story but it may be difficult so stop reading now if you're going to bitch. At one point of the story, someone does something to something you like a lot. If you pick the other two things instead of the one thing at the end, you can't get that thing back and then you can't get certain other things when you continue playing. Get it? How about if i said it's a certain persons best friend? Anyway, some people were a little pissed at that event so if you chose to be either the savior or the dick you can now get your furry companion back. That does take away from the ending of the game a lot though. The reason I made the decision I made was to bring my friend back. He was the reason for my choice. I didn't want to play the rest of the game without him. How they're going to try to implement this without making it a cop out does have me interested though it'll probably just have me dissapointed.

Merchants of Brooklyn is a new tittle coming out later this year for the Xbox 360/PS3/PC. You play as a caveman fighter on a rampage. This is no ordinary caveman though because his arm was sawed off via chainsaw. So he does what any caveman would do...He gets a new biomechanical arm to help him get revenge. This new arm will transform into many different weapons and will take out you're opponents in the most brutal way possible. Body parts from you're enemies are also weapons in you're arsenal as you can pick up limbs, charge them, and toss them like grenades. Yes, I know the story sounds ridicules, but I like the art style and the reactions at CES 09 were very good. A trailer will be out very soon and we will see if Merchants of Brooklyn A.K.A Bionic Commando/Flintstones is a good idea.
