Game Releases Fall 2011 – October

Continuing our look at the Fall 2011 game release schedule, we move onto the first week of October. We have a “spiritual” sequel, as well as a new IP from a big name company amongst others.  Check them out below. October 4th, 2011 Dark Souls Dark Souls is billed as the spiritual successor to “Demon’s Souls”.  Basically this means most of the same development team, different backing from a different publisher and multi-platform. The developers have promised to make this … 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

Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition Pre-Order Package

Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition Just like they did with ME2 there will be a N7 collectors edition for Mass Effect 3 and it comes with some pretty cool stuff.  Mass Effect 2 got a similar treatment plus a connection to the “Cerberus Network” which served as the DLC downloader and activator for collector’s edition owners. Just like the recently announced Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition, the Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition is getting the steelbook treatment with an awesome … 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

Xbox 360 E3 2011 Press Conference Thoughts

Microsoft E3 2011 I guess MS doesn’t hold press conferences, they hold “Global Media Briefings” Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Demo Opens straight with Modern Warfare 3 footage, which is actually pretty cool. Underwater incursion into a sub-marine. After surfacing it looks like we are in the U.S., probably New York, which holds to the World War III info that has been floating around.  Visually looks excellent, standard CoD gameplay.  We’ll have to wait and see.  The only way … Continue reading

Sony E3 2011 Press Conference Breakdown

I want to start off first by discussing some system specific topics.  I cover PS3 and PC almost exclusively.  I admit some ill-will towards Microsoft as a company.  I think their customer support and most obviously with the Xbox 360, their quality control is awful.  I also find their flagship IP, Halo, to be substantially over-rated and their online components far too rampant with racism, sexism, homophobia and general lack of intelligence.  That being said, I am not a Sony fanboy as … Continue reading

Ubisoft E3 2011 Press Conference Breakdown

Ubisoft Games – E3 2011 Ubi celebrating their 25th anniversary at this E3, founding in 1986. Feed Trouble Looks like there was some feed trouble on both IGN and Gamespot.  Gamespot now states that due to a limited Internet connection only archives will be available.  Nice!  I ended switching over to G4′s live coverage in the middle of Far Cry 3.  Looks like G4 wasn’t expecting all the cursing on this live event.  They missed a couple of F-bombs and … Continue reading

EA E3 2011 Press Conference Breakdown

E3 2011 – EA Origin For those that don’t know or don’t remember. Origin Systems was the creator of the Wing Commander, Crusader and Ultima brands.  EA bought them out in the late 90s and shut the doors in about 2005.  It appears that they are going to put to use their hold on that copyright by pushing the new EA Origin service. EA was almost as bad at overkilling this service as Microsoft was with Kinect spamming. Origin, which … Continue reading

Terminator Mod – Los Angeles 2029 – Alpha 2.0 Release

Terminator Mod Alpha 2.0 Looks like the team from the Terminator Mod has been very hard at work, improving their mod and implementing new features. From the betas and videos most people, including myself, are calling this the best Terminator Game(or at leas it will be), better than the many commercial attempts. The visuals, sound effects and musical score remain faithful to the original vision of the first Terminator. The screenshots are great, but we all know that screenshots don’t … Continue reading
