Shooting, explosions, and bro-mance. What more can man ask for? Army of Two: The 40th Day provides making very a very bro-mantic game. Like the original, a co-op focused 3rd person shooter proved to be very fun. Playing along side someone else on the expo floor it wasn’t easy to hear in order to coordinate efforts but the game was still playable.
In the world of gaming there are plenty of fatasses. Loot Ninja even has it’s own fair share of large men, at the waist, not just below it. Below is a top ten of typical gaming snacks I came across that make your ass that much more cushioned to sit on.
Tonight Activision is giving Modern Warfare 2 the movie star treatment. No it’s not getting whores, blow, and ice cream. If it is, I don’t know anything about it. Instead of all those goodies Activision is launching Modern Warfare 2 in Leicester Square with a big party in the style of all those crazy moving pictures launch parties that are thrown in Leicester Square all the time. Expect DJ’s, some sort of celebrities, and Modern Warfare 2 to be there. So it’s like a movie thing but with video games. The party kicks off at 7pm London time. Don’t wait for me to kick if off because I won’t be going, I’m going to stay home and play Modern Warfare 2 at home instead of watching other people play it in the freezing cold of Leicester Square near some drunk yob urinating on a tourist. WAHOO! PARTY!
In the way of eagerly awaited sequels Mass Effect 2 is the focus of many fan-boys wed dreams. Not quite the second coming of Christ but it’s up there. To make you all jealous I got my hands on it at the Eurogamer Expo in London. In the spirit of how all sequels should be Mass Effect 2 is an improvement over the original.
Richard Marcinko, aka Demo Dick aka a crazy bastard. The man created Navy SEAL Team Six, the counter-terrorism arm of the SEAL teams. If you don’t know much about him I suggest reading his autobiography, it’s interesting. Or you can get a nice idea of how the man views the world via his new video game Rogue Warrior from Bethesda Softworks.In Rogue Warrior you get to fill the shoes of Demo Dick himself, voiced by Mickey Rourke. Needless to say there is a lot of swearing, shooting, and stabbing. It’s fun.
Avatar is the new hot IP because it was created, shaped, and controlled by James Cameron. He’s brought to life some great IP’s like Aliens and Terminator so this has potential. He has also tortured us with the likes of Titanic. So what is Avatar going to bring us? Well it’s coming to theaters, IMAX, 3-D, and of course your consoles, even the Wii.
Would you like a serious assault rifle with motion detector? Perhaps an awesome infrared vision with laser, wrist-blades, and invisible cloak. Or do you prefer the sharp claws, spear tail, and the ability to walk on walls? Doesn’t matter because it’s all awesomeness. Humans, Aliens, and Predators all together, one big family reunion of gun shots and guttings.
Time Kufc, probably a nice way of saying Time Fuck because that’s what this game quickly becomes. I tore myself away from this one after I realized the damage it can do to my life. The child of Edmund McMillen Time Kufc was one of the many titles display in the Indie Game Arcade at the Eurogamer Expo in London.
At the Eurogamer Expo I took 15 minutes out of my hustle and bustle for a little bit of relaxing New Super Mario Bros Wii (known as NSMBW or ‘it’ from henceforth). I was dropped into a game with 2 other players after being instructed to put the wrist strap on, even though I wasn’t using the motion controls I was still treated as a 4 year old. Thanks Nintendo.
Playing like good old SMB played on the Nintendo NSMBW has some noticeable improvements. The obvious graphics and sounds, although I couldn’t hear much it did sound like they tried to stay true to the style of the original 8-bit theme. The controls were, well the same. The fireball flower and star are no longer the top dog pickups as the iceball (snowball?) and a few other new items make an appearance.
If you haven’t gotten word yet, let me break it for you here. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, aka Modern Warfare 2, aka MW2, formerly known as Prince, has leaked the new kill streak reward list. After 25 kills you are rewarded with a tactical nuke. That is a nuclear device designed to detonate and killing at least the bad guys on the map and declare your team the winner.
On this game alone people can get pissed about the fear of perverts with cheap Night Vision Goggles. They can get pissed about the possibility that you can kill some civilians. People can take up arms over the fact that the PC version won’t have dedicated servers. They can cancel their pre-orders over the lack of private chat online. But everyone is A-Fucking-O.K. with awarding someone who virtually kills 25 people by giving them a tactical NUCLEAR weapon. Where are the demonstrations? The liberals, the bleeding hearts? Kojima? SNAKE!?
I figure in this day and age of ultra sensitivity about everything a hot topic the use of nuclear weapons would raise a little controversy. Especially if you mix two hot topics like video games and nuclear weapons there would be a few angry letters. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for the lack of coverage demonizing the industry and hobby we all love so dear but please tell me. Am I missing something here? Should someone be angry? North Korea maybe? This feels like a trap to me, maybe it’s revenge for the dedicated server fiasco? I don’t know anymore, you tell me.
Coming Soon!
