Crysis trailer

taz8080 | 4 Comments

We brought you the minimum requirements to run Crysis on your computer, so the least we could do is show you a glimpse of what you can expect from EA and Crytek. Here is some pretty gameplay with a splash of backstory, it has a Halo meets GRAW feel to it, but looks pretty amazing.

GRAW 2 Throwback Pack Now FREE

drunk pandas | 1 Comment

GRAW 2 Screen

In case you didn’t want to drop the 800 MS Points for the GRAW2 Throwback Pack that was released this past May, you can now download it for free for the Xbox 360.

The pack includes 7 remastered maps from the original Ghost Recon and the first GRAW.

Too little, too late I think. Most people have moved on from GRAW2 on the Xbox 360 and started playing other games. I think Ubisoft almost had to do this on 360 since the PS3 version will include these maps for free.

Online GamingWhy?! Why must people that play online shooters or online in general be jerks? Why can’t people just play the %ucking game and not try to give everyone a headache? My frustration stems from GRAW 2 on the Xbox 360 and trying to play over Xbox Live, but it got me thinking about this particular item.

I was playing through GRAW 2 single player and decided to hop online and try some of the multiplayer gametypes, bad idea! I proceeded to try and just get a quick game online using the quick match funtion. I quickly got booted. OK, so I think this is nothing and try another one after running a custom search. 15 games later of trying to get into a game and not get booted, I finally go back to one of the original rooms and try to ask why i keep getting booted for no reason? Answer: Becasue my rank was 1, wtf?? So I ask the kids on the other side (that were level 9) if they born level 9 perchance? How the %uck are people supposed to level up or learn how to play if higher players won’t play with them for fear of losing levels?

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are so good and are such a high level, what would be your fear of playing with some low level players anyway? Also I wasn’t aware that your GRAW level was correlated with some life or death statistic?! I proceeded to go off and yell at the kids in the room and vent my frustrations, but it just brought me to a bad place, why must online games give me heart burn?

Hit the jump for more…

XBLM explodes with demos

taz8080 | 0 Comments

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the latest Xbox 360 demos on Xbox Marketplace, shame on you, we here at Loot Ninja highly reccomend you do. With the new ability to download while playing games and leave your system on overnight while downloading there shoudl be no excuse, unless you filled your HDD with music. There are some quality demos available like:

* Tenchu Z (Some stealth ninja action for ya)
* Forza Motorsport 2 (A bit of racing to get your engine going)
* Shadowrun (Elves and dwarves killing in the name of…)
* Overlord (Just added today, get your evil villain on)
* GRAW 2 (If you liked GRAW one, take a look)
* Command & Conquer 3 (RTS + bombs = Nice)
* Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (GOOOOOOOOOAL)

That is a decent lineup for demos this month, many of which just came out this week, so if you were on the fence about grabbing a title, take it out for a spin and feel it up first. Each demo is around 800 Mb to 1 Gb in size and retails for 0 rubles, my favorite sum of cash.

GRAW 2 Throwback Pack Trailer

drunk pandas | 0 Comments

Here’s a trailer for the pseudo-new maps in the Throwback Pack coming for GRAW2 that’s available today for 800 MS Points ($10). Personally, I think this is severly overpriced for some old maps.

Here’s your HD goodness

New 360 Demos [Update]

drunk pandas | 0 Comments

This morning we’re graced by 2 new demos on the 360 Marketplace. The first is the previously announced GRAW2 Multiplayer Demo. That weighs in at 313.89MB. Not bad, should be a fairly quick download. The other, which I’m highly looking forward to, is MLB 2K7, which is a hefty 970.87MB. Be downloading people.

[Update] Been downloading the MLB 2K7 demo for about 2 hours now, and it’s only at 50%. The XBL servers must be getting hammered.

drunk pandas | 0 Comments

Ubisoft today announced that the GRAW2 Multiplayer Demo for Xbox 360 will be released February 26, 2007 (that’s next Monday for all you slow people out there). Good news for GRAW fans who couldn’t get enough of the single player demo.

GRAW 2 Demo Available

drunk pandas | 0 Comments

The Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2, for any normal human) demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. I’m very excited for this. I still haven’t played much of the first GRAW, but it’s high on my list to play, after Gears and Lost Planet. If only that damn Viva Pinata wouldn’t be so addictive… The demo weighs in at approximately 625MB, so it shouldn’t take too long for anyone to download. It’s only a single player demo, but go grab it and start shooting Mexican terrorists!
