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 … Continue reading
NBA 2K12 Game Soundtrack The NBA 2K series has always produced soundtrack that were quite popular. The main genre of these game soundtracks is hip-hop. They use a blend of mainstream and underground artists and the tracks are comprised of of equal parts remixed tracks, previously released tracks and tracks designed specifically for the game. They sometimes includes classic rap or hip-hop, as well as mainstream electronic and rock hybrid songs on occasion as well. … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
