Uncharted Territory via Subway

Just spent about an hour and half playing the Uncharted 3 multiplayer via a promotion from Subway… yes that Subway, Jared and all that.  Note that this is different that the multiplayer beta a little while back.  This appears to be a much more polished and faster-loading version of the game, which makes sense as we are one month away from the UC3 launch date. Uncharted 3 Promotion So here’s how you get in on the action.  The simplest way to purchase … Continue reading

Uncharted 3 Trophies Uncovered

The Uncharted 3 trophy list has been released. It doesn’t appear to contain any spoilers, so no worries. Looks like the standard style for the previous Uncharted games, some based on specific weapon kills, others based on amount of treasure found, some hand-to-hand combat for good measure plus fun trophies and specific actions.  I went back and platinumed the first two games and I am pondering playing this one on Crushing from the start.  It would make a cleanup trophy … Continue reading

Deep Discount Video Game Soundtrack Sale

DeepDiscount.com spawned out of what was formerly deepdiscountdvd.com.  It now encompasses, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDS, Vinyl, Video Games, Books and more all from the same site.  I was just browsing their site by chance today (it’s a good way to figure out what the lowest price-point on the market is for a lot of blu-rays), and spotted their Video Game Soundtrack Sale.  Early on I developed a love for film scores, becoming enamored with film score music from The Goonies and … Continue reading

Recent Gaming Roundup – Juarez, F.E.A.R. 3, Catherine

Hearing the Call The Call of Juarez features a spiritual-successor storyline to the original games. One of the main characters, and if we’re honest the focal point of the game, is Ben McCall, ancient ancestor to the Reverend Ray McCall, gun-toting preacher from the previous two games. That’s kind of where the connection stops.  There are dialogue references and even scenes that are supposed to take place in locations from the original games. It’s a weak call-back at most.  McCall’s … Continue reading

E3 Winners and Losers

Every year the question after E3 is who won?  Sometimes its clear-cut, other times things are simply divided by fanboy (and/or girl) lines.  ”Insert Console Company” kick “Insert other Console Company’s ass this year.  Oh, and Nintendo is for kids! “Console Company” is for “insert favorite ethnic or homophobic slur”.  Well this year doesn’t seem to be too much different with reactions coming in for and against Vita, Wii U and the heavy dosage of Kinect. E3 2011 Winners The … Continue reading

Nintendo E3 2011 Breakdown – Wii U

Wii U Console Announced We’ll get to the software and such later.  What everyone wants to talk about and possibly at least part of what they were expecting came to pass during Nintendo’s morning press conference.  Nintendo announced their new controller… I mean new system.  The Wii U.  I joke about the controller because thats what all the focus was.  We only caught a short glimpse of the console itself and it appears to be not much larger than a … Continue reading
