-Bad things ensue. -You have to fix, avenge, and/or kill said bad things. If it sounds straightforward, that’s because it is: there’s some peripheral stuff about secret societies and hidden agendas and black ops military groups who exist only to pepper you with bullets, but the basic premise really just comes down to fighting mythological creatures in a contemporary environment. I got a lengthy developer walkthrough and some sizeable hands-on time with the game....
Along with the new campaign inHalo ODSTcomes a brand new multiplayer mode called Firefight. Up to four players will work together to take on waves of Covenant forces to try and stay alive as long as possible. Two Covenant drop ships will fly into the map and drop off random group of enemies. You could be taking on weaklings like Grunts and Jackals or you can get screwed and face off against a couple of Wraith, Jetpack Brutes and a few Chieftans in a wave....
Reggie Fils-Aime wasted a fair bit of our time on tech demos before making any actual game announcements for the Wii U console. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Nintendo has announced that Travellers Tales will be bringing a whole new LEGO adventure to Nintendo products withLEGO City Stories. Details are, predictably, sparse.LEGO City Storiesis a sandbox game coming to Wii U and 3DS. And that’s about all we know just yet — the footage showed aGTA-like mini-map....
Have you seen this curious game? It appears to be a throwback to the many forgotten, ill-fated platformer mascots of the ’90s, which I’m not opposed to. If having an armadillo as a leading man in 2011 seems odd, you aren’t alone in thinking so.The Rolling Westernis skipping retail, instead opting for a much more fitting eShop release. Very little to go on at this point, but I must say, that music ishappening....
I talked about EA’s DS titleZuboquite a while ago. I had no idea what was going on then, and I have little idea what’s going on now. From what I can tell, there is a mountain called Mount Legend, and that’s where all these cylinder-headedfreakslive. Probably. Apparently, this game is the maiden voyage of EA’s UK Bright Light studio. It is reported to have rhythm-game sensibilities and is obviously aimed at the younger crowd....
Well, it’s all over but the crying. Last week, we gave away five different EA Sports games, and we had a surprisingly impressive response from the community. Before I go through all the winners again, I should probably tell you who won our last giveaway, in which the prize was a copy ofTiger Woods PGA Tour 09for the Xbox 360. After much flip-flopping, we thought that the photo submitted byMaxVestPolish Hillfeatured the cutest tiger!...
There’s nothing I hate more than disappointingChad Concelmo. I’m not sure you can understand the anguish of it all until you’ve experienced thepure joyous energyof Chad in the flesh. Anything you can do or say to take that away is like some sort of quiet, horrible suicide. It is this terrible image that weighs heavy on my heart as I come bearing these wretched tidings: NoEndless Oceanfor the Wii until Q1 2008....
So, if you check thecblogsregularly (as you should), then you probably already know thatEdmund McMillen, (indie game artist/designer) just did some hospital time, and like many indie game artists/designers, he doesn’t have health insurance. That means he’s looking at thousands of dollars worth of bills. Tangent- Did you know that Daniel Clowes, indie comics writer/artist, agreed to have two of hisEightballstories (Ghost WorldandArt School Confidential) turned into movies in part so that he could get health insurance?...

We learned a few days ago thatFinal Fantasy XIVwouldn’t have a traditional experience point system, which sounds to me like just the wake up call the genre needs. Today we spotted some scanned Famitsu screens over atBlueGartrand a ton of new information about the game (go there to see many more pictures). Here’s what the info presented seems to shape up to so far: The difference in ability between races is said to be less severe than that of Final Fantasy XI* Battles progress in real-time, but are not action-oriented, i....
The nefararious baddies at SuperVillain Studioshave revealedtheir diabolical plans to releaseflOwfor the PlayStation Portable. The game will be available on thePlayStation Store for PCon March 10, an no, we have no idea how much it’s going to cost. Like thatgamecompany’s original title, the game will have you worming around fluids gobbling up organisms in order to evolve. SuperVillain say that they’ve been able to “reconstruct and faithfully preserve the unique experience” of the game, so that leads us to believe we’re not in for any surprise....
