E3 2010 Impression: Nintendo 3DS

by Binh Nguyen [ Sunday, 20th of June 2010 - 10:05 PM ]

Since the first announcement of the Nintendo DS back in 2004 and the many versions that have followed, hearing of a new iteration has many asking: do we really need another DS? In this case, yes we do. At their press conference, Nintendo showcased for the first time their latest new portable device - the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo 3DS is a device that can show 3D effects without the need for any special glasses. Wednesday morning I beelined right into the Nintendo booth to get some hands-on with the new device.

E3 2010: Stock full of Trailers

by Binh Nguyen [ Wednesday, 16th of June 2010 - 03:39 PM ]

So apparently, waiting was not on the agenda in the days prior to E3 opening. What I mean by that is just the other day on Spike TV - they had their pre-E3 show where they showed a lot of the new trailers that previously, we would have had to wait until the actual show to see these trailers. But since we all live on the Internet, instant gratification is all we have time for anymore. So here you guys go with bunch of trailers of Socom 4, Killzone 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Dead Space 2, Devils Third, Gran Turismo 5 and Shank. Hope you all enjoy. Read More...

Spawn More Overlord, Mass Effect Style

by Binh Nguyen [ Friday, 11th of June 2010 - 06:50 PM ]

A new DLC is "coming soon" for one of this year's major titles. Of course I am talking about Mass Effect 2. Today BioWare has announced the Overload DLC for XBox 360 and PC. When sent to investigate a Cerberus research base that's mysteriously gone silent, Shepard arrives to find Geth overrunning the base. The sole survivor Chief Scientist Archer, pains a dire picture: an experiment to fuse a human volunteer with a virtual intelligence created a hybrid “VI overlord”. The rampaging VI has already attacked three other Cerberus bases, controlling any technology it finds in an attempt to break free-and unleashing Geth across the planet. Read More...

Kane To Lynch - 'She'd Better Be Worth It'

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 9th of June 2010 - 08:18 PM ]

Looks like just before E3, like many other games, we are all going to get a good look at what is going on with the story of Kane and Lynch 2. Well maybe not so much a good look, but at least some of the reasons these two mad men are going through the crap storm they are. This time around, surprise, it is for a piece of tail. This should be a lesson to all you ladies out there. Men will go through pretty much Tartarus for you or to keep you safe. Read More...

Dead Space 2 Cover Art Revealed

by Brian Goodman [ Saturday, 5th of June 2010 - 09:40 PM ]

I guess there isn't much else to say besides what is in the title. Here is a link to the tweet just released from the official Dead Space Twitter account. You can also see the art at the bottom of this post. About a year and a half ago ago I bought the first Dead Space used in the bargain bin, looking to kill some time. I wasn't expecting to, but I personally really enjoyed the first Dead Space. It wasn't very scary, nor did it have a very original plot, but it functioned very well with above average mechanics and fantastic graphics. Read More...

Naughty Bear To Force You To Come Out The Closet

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 3rd of June 2010 - 09:09 PM ]

For the love of the Gods, really another plagiarized page from "How To Be More Like Hades™". Seriously, that is it. Once, ok. Twice, shameful. But now quince. Naughty Bear has stolen too many ideas from my guide now. Time to whip that lawyer into gear to get this legal action taken care of. Confused on what I am talking about? Well below is another except from Naughty Bear's "Book Of Naughty." His rule number 207 titled "Hide'n'Seek" shares quite a resemblance to my rule number 487. Read More...

Review: UFC Undisputed 2010

by Binh Nguyen [ Thursday, 3rd of June 2010 - 05:02 PM ]

UFC surprised us with a lovely right hook with last year's title UFC Undisputed 2009. A year later THQ gives us the slogan “So you wanna be a Fighter” with this year's release of UFC Undisputed 2010. Yeah the name hasn't changed much, but the game certainly has. If you do not know what UFC is by now then you seriously have been living under a rock - especially with names like Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, Royce Gracie, Randy Couture, George St. Pierre (GSP for short), Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock. Names made famous cause of UFC. Read More...

Kane & Lynch Bring Childhood Games Back

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 28th of May 2010 - 03:24 PM ]

Remember when you were younger, more innocent and you use to play Cops and Robbers with all of your neighbors and school friends? Those were good times. Running around pointing fingers like fake guns, or using NERF™ guns. Swapping sides when caught stealing whatever little toy you had placed out there. Gods those were good times. Then we all grew up.

Does Nintendo Make Kid Games Or Games For People Of All Ages?

by Brian Goodman [ Tuesday, 25th of May 2010 - 05:51 PM ]

So I was reading an opinion piece on Kotaku all about how Shigeru Miyamoto thinks he makes game that appeal to people of all ages - not just kids. The writer of the Kotaku piece made the comparison between Nintendo and Pixar, who has made arguably the best animated films of all time that are characteristically appealing to young children and adults alike. Something didn't feel right to me about that comparison. As a HUGE fan of Pixar I thought to myself; what makes Pixar films successful? Read More...
