I don’t know who Jessica is or why she declared martial law on this kid’s balls, but I spit my afternoon coffee all over the place.
Have a great weekend everyone.
The Spore franchise continues to expand and grow. EA announced yesterday that Spore Islands is available on Facebook. Actually it’s been available for about a week, I’ve been playing it with a friend. You pick an island then build and color your creature utilizing DNA points. Friends can send a creature to your island and you can build one to send to their island. During observations, you can see the creatures eat, fight and lay eggs. The one with the highest points win.
During observation
You earn points when you or someone else observes your creatures. It’s a fun little game that is a nice break from Farmville and Mafia Wars. The only downside I have found is that you can only earn 12 DNA points at a time. To get more, you have to spend money. The incentive to spend the money is to buy hats and parts to add to your creature. I’ve not seen a need to spend money on it but it’s still fun.
What better way to start the morning off than with a bunch of shots from Mass Effect 2? Kotaku has a gallery of nine brand spankin’ new shots from the game. If that’s not enough, Bioware recently announced the Collector’s Edition, chock full of awesome stuff, such as:
The Collectors’ Edition of Mass Effect 2 comes in a premium, tin case and includes the full version of the game, a 48-page hardcover “Art of Mass Effect 2” book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos. In addition, the Mass Effect 2 Collectors’ Edition will include unique in-game weapons and armor that can only be obtained by purchasing this version.
Still not enough Mass Effect awesome for you? Bioware also released a developer documentary that showcases some of the enemies Sheppard will be up against in the new game.
I guess if you need even more Mass Effect, you can grab the original game on Steam for the low price of ten bones, it’s Steam’s weekend deal. It looks like that with Dragon Age released, Bioware will be ramping up the hype behind Mass Effect 2. Let’s hope there isn’t a Marilyn Manson trailer in the future.
We’re less than 10 days away! Our next Xbox 360 Community Playdate is coming up very soon on November 15th playing Modern Warfare 2. The game releases November 10th, so everyone will have plenty of opportunity to pick up a copy and get rolling. Microsoft has all the info live on the Xbox website, so check it out.
We’ll be officially playing from 8-11pm ET, but you can expect a few of us to be on beforehand and others will be staying late. Modern Warfare 2 looks be a strong contender for multiplayer game of the year, so we’re excited to be the first event for the game.
Clear your schedules and put us on your calendar. We’re calling in air strikes for that ass.
So I get an email from Matt asking me if I wanted to review a football trivia game. Since I live and breathe the sport, I said absolutely. The guys over RTL were nice enough to send us a code and like a kid on Christmas, I rushed to download it and test my trivia against my roommates, who all wanted in on the action. I believe dishes were the bet. The game is finished. I fire it up. The biggest soccer ball I have ever seen fills the screen. Umm.. what? As it turns out, it is not an American football trivia game, but soccer. Yeah, a little surprised and was in line to do the dishes for the next week. Despite the mix up, I played the game and it is a very good trivia game.
Hey what up Loot Ninja!? I just got an e-mail today to let me know that the Netflix PS3 disc will be hitting my snail mail box this Friday (November 6th). Wait! That’s tomorrow! Holy crap! For those of you out of the feed, the Netflix service (online streaming) will be making it’s way over to the PS3 this Friday.
I can’t wait to watch a few British TV shows before I get back into Uncharted 2! I’ll have to just insert the Netflix disc in the PS3 to boot into the service like it was a game, but this will give Netflix subscribers access to an extensive library of movies and TV shows for online streaming. It’s essentially the same service used for the Xbox 360, but mark this off the list of something that the SexBox can do that the PS3 can’t.
As you can guess from the name of this site, we enjoy Loot. And as any hardcore gamers, we enjoy a good shooter. Put the two together with strong RPG elements and you get Borderlands, one of the most addicting games you’ll play this year. Gearbox slapped together a kick-ass cell-shaded art style, awesome shooter gameplay and more weapons your can count to make a killer app.
GOOD LUCK FIGURING OUT WHAT CHARACTER TO CHOOSE…
I have been playing Tekken since its first release in 1995. The series has made a lot of headway over the years while never losing what made it stand out. Now with Tekken 6, the story evolves – kind of. True to the Mishima bloodline the youngest, Jin, has gone from reluctant hero to megalomaniac trying to take over the world – I guess these guys are just meant to be assholes. Oh well. Anyways a new tournament is here and Namco Bandai asks you once again to join. For the first time however this entry comes out on a platform other than a PlayStation with a semi-controversial Xbox 360 debut. But let’s be honest, this has been coming for a while hasn’t it?
So what’s all the hubbub about? Click on this thing here.
As if you needed anymore reason to buy this game, here is a look at all the teasers and trailers that have led us up to this moment. Next Tuesday, it is on like it has never been on before. See you there.
What is better than video games and really hot chicks? When said really hot chicks are dressed up as video game characters. After the jump is our official Loot Ninja Cosplay Girl of the Week. We don’t know her name, but we like it that way. Remember, just because you wanna bang a Pikachu, that doesn’t make you a deviant.
As always, SFW.
Coming Soon!
