Having more of something can be a hit or a miss depending on what that something is. More cake is always a good thing, while more cavities is not so good. Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to Valve’s hugely popular zombie genocidal shooter that was released last year. Can more zombie killing be considered a good thing, or does it feel just like the same ole thing with some new bells and whistles?
In all my years toiling away at Dr. Mario time and time again, in no way did I ever think its theme song could have lyrics due to my lack of any kind of imagination. That’s where this video comes in.
Brentalfloss is the mastermind behind putting lyrics to the Dr. Mario Theme, and thanks to him, I know now Dr. Mario got his degree from watching medical dramas, can only prescribe red and blue pills, and diagnosed Princess Peach with crabs.
I’ve heard a lot of different remixes of some beloved old-school songs, but this is the first time I heard a remake rock this hard. What makes the video more badass is how the artists, during their jam session, decide to play a little Mario with the lights off! That takes this video…. TO THE EXTREEEEME!!
Square-Enix officially announced today the release date for their upcoming epic RPG, Final Fantasy XII. All Chocobo loving fans should mark their calendars on March 9th, 2010 as being the day this current generation of consoles to finally get a new Final Fantasy title.
Final Fantasy XIII will feature a new battle system (which has been the recent trend of new Final Fantasy games), summon system, HD graphics, and a storyline that’s promised to be an “emotional experience”.
The title will be made available on both the PS3 & Xbox 360, which is one of the first times a Final Fantasy title is being launched on multiple platforms on the same day. During Microsoft E3 2008 press conference, it was revealed Final Fantasy XIII would be making its way to the Xbox 360. No details yet on how many discs the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be packaged as its expected the PS3 version will simply take up 1 Blu-Ray disc.
With Street Fighter IV & King of Fighters XII rejuvenating the fighting genre, it was time for the Tekken series to step into the ring and show other fighting games how it’s done. With the largest character roster in Tekken history, HD graphics, and competitive online modes, is Tekken 6 the best fighting game our current generation of consoles has to offer?
Infinity Ward released the official launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and boy, is it a doozie.
The gameplay footage we see in the trailer spotlights some previous footage that Infinity Ward released mashed in with some new footage, such as the satellite blowing up in space, into a single trailer with a very fitting soundtrack. Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” was chosen as the song to help amp up the hype level for Modern Warfare 2, and to be honest, I see no other song more fitting than that one. Not only does its beat bring out the emphasis how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be, but also Eminem’s lyrics are befitting of the game, specifically towards the end,
Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.
The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set the gold standard for the FPS’ franchise, to which many other FPS games have adopted some of its ideas (XP, further customization of your character, etc.). With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the already ridiculously high bar Infinity Ward set itself with CoD4:MW is now being challenged once again.
We as humans have always had a fascination with the undead. The undead have been discussed in books, danced in music videos, and murdered in video games on a regular basis. In Tecmo’s Undead Knights, the undead take center stage. This time, one of the main focuses is to create undead minions from sacrificing your enemies during battle. Can raising the undead to fight for you really be that fun?
Infinity Ward’s latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer is… interesting. It does show some gameplay footage, but for the most part it’s a PSA to ‘Fight Against Grenade Spam’, or F.A.G.S. for short. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels tells us random grenade throwing are, “for pussies”. It’s kind of strange he’s suddenly included in the PSA, but I believe it was to tie in with the World Series that’s currently underway.
With the amount of anticipation for Modern Warfare 2, I don’t think this was a smart move on the part of Infinity Ward. Yes, we all hate random grenades. If you think about it though, aren’t all grenades that kill you random to the one getting killed? You never expect them, but then when you hear it, you’re for the most part surprised.
What are your thoughts? You think this trailer was over-the-top, or do you think it’s just right for Modern Warfare 2?
Namco-Bandai recently released the sequel to their popular Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche which was released in 2001 on the PS2. Even though the game is titled Magnacarta 2, this isn’t a direct sequel of the original title. Magnacarta 2 will have players fighting their way across the Lanzheim Continent, but will players have any fun doing so?
