Bioshock on the PS3: The Press Release

BioShock PS3 Screen 1

That’s right. Its official like a referee with a whistle now. Bioshock is coming to your neighborhood PS3 like it or not. Looks like ‘exclusive title’ gives way to ‘timed release’ again. At least PS3 users can expect some exclusive content and extras to warrant the purchase. I wonder if any Xbox users will be enticed to purchase it as well? More screen love after the jump.

Best Buy Confirms CoD4 Game of the Year for PS3

CoD4 Map Image 1

Best Buy seems to have confirmed what we have all been wondering. Will there be a Game of the Year edition of Call of Duty 4 on the PS3? Well, the answer is yes.

According to the electronics retailer, the PS3 version with the Variety Map Pack will be shipping on April 24th, exactly 21 days after the Xbox 360 maps hit the Xbox Live Marketplace.

If you’re a PS3 owner and are looking to buy CoD4, it would be a good idea to wait a bit to get that extra content for free.

SSBB: The Subspace Emissary Intro

Here is the introduction to the The Subspace Emissary Adventure Mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, man does it look good. The more info we get on this game the more flashbacks of brawling on the N64 and Gamecube fill my head. Nintendo may have a Game of the Year candidate on their hands and it hasn’t even launched yet.

I wonder if Nintendo will go against their very own strategy and make an SSBB and Wii bundle, this would fly off the shelves!

Loot Ninja’s 2007 Game of the Year

2007 Game of the Year

2007 was one of the best years ever for gamers. We saw some amazing games on every platform. There were sequels that took their game to that next level, and new franchises that redefined their genre. With that said, there were just too many great games for the team here at Loot Ninja to come with a decisive overall Game of the Year. Two of us picked the same game, Call of Duty 4, but everyone else couldn’t agree on the best title of the year. We’ve got votes for Uncharted, Metroid Prime 3, and Halo 3. So we’re just going to let you see all of our picks for the coveted 2007 Game of the Year.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Review

MP3Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is the final chapter in the Metroid Prime trilogy for the Wii and let me say I was not a firm believer and thought it would end up as a rehash of the Metroid Prime version for the Gamecube, man was I wrong! The game pays it’s respects to the GC version both graphically and stylistically but takes it to the next level on the Wii.

Presentation and Graphics: Environments and enemies look sharp and detailed. Samus different visors look great and effects of the environment on the visor are great. Metroid Prime 3 sets the bar very high for anything looking to be developed on the Wii from here on out. MP3 and the Retro Studios crew deserve some kind of award and in my opinion have a legitimate shot at game of the year. 5 out of 5
