It seems the Wii can output HD signals… with a catch of course. The 720p screenshots of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii were captured off an emulator. That emulator is known as the Dolphin. With most emulators, the Dolphin’s system requirements are pretty intense. While we don’t promote the use of any piracy, the screens are more of a preview of what “may” come. It also shows the games were made with the ability to support the 720p graphics, so why the Wii was made to top 480p is still a question.
THQ’s highly successful Dawn of War franchise is getting some fresh additions on March 11, composed primarily of dead-hearted traitors, fanatical cultists, and demons so demented and unnatural that to simply gaze upon them is to go mad. Well, they’re pretty ugly at least. Just look at that guy. Ugh.
DoW II: Chaos Rising will introduce a new army, the Chaos Space Marines. These bad boys have turned their back on humanity’s interstellar empire and their Emperor in favour of the many Chaos gods inhabiting the wrong side of the galaxy known as The Warp. Unlike the original DoW packs, anyone will be able to play against Chaos in multiplayer games, so no more servers splintered by who bought what. Chaos Rising promises not only the new army, but fresh units to all of the existing armies, which will be available even to those who don’t pick up the stand-alone expansion.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is getting ready to be released this Tuesday and you can be sure you’ll be facing some stiff competition online, thanks to EA offering a beta on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
One feller you might want to stay clear of next week is ‘AnXieTy BuRnS‘. Judging by the video above, he is one sniper whose crosshairs you don’t want anywhere near you. Although, I bet he’s just god awful when it comes to melee attacks.
I have to hand it to Jowin, he does sound a lot like Lupe Fiasco or Kid Cudi and has some pretty sweet rhymes. ” Baby your Cosplay, and yo, you are beautiful even though, it’s all fake” would have to be one of my favorite lines. It is an instant Otaku hit, to see and hear the hotness that is his music video “Cosplay Girl” click below after the link! Enjoy, I have the damn song stuck in my head. Also check out some more of his tracks, they are all pretty sick with a nice flow.
When I think of Aliens vs. Predator, I think of a battle between two alien species who are on completely different sides of the spectrum. On one hand, you have the Aliens, with their unmatched superiority in numbers, speed, and ferocity. On the other hand, Predators are the perfect assassin. They can camouflage themselves while using various vision modes in order to pick out their opponent from its surroundings. It seems like no matter what, they always seem to be pitted against one another, and it usually makes for an entertaining experience.
That is, until the epic battle between Aliens & Predator made its way to the Xbox 360, PS3, & PC.
The emotional driven, Heavy Rain, developed by Quantic Dream and published by SCEE is finally here after their teaser debut from E3 2006. Your morals will be tested immediately and you’ll quickly find yourself immersed thanks to the graphically charged cinematic storyline and unique decision based scenarios. The gritty camera scenes and musical scores add to this dark psychological thriller and you’ll swear you’re controlling movie actors. But this is not the first psychological thriller directed by David Cage, he and Quantic Dream also developed 2005’s PS2 hit Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in US). Five years have passed and now David Cage has the opportunity to present his latest masterpiece on the PS3. In Heavy Rain, your smallest decisions can change everything making each play one-of-a-kind and different every time. There are no right or wrongs, but instead choices. Choices that come with risks and rewards. Heavy Rain is an emotional rollercoaster blended fittingly with love, addiction, suicide, life and death. Just a bit of warning, unless your “numb” this game will consume you as a player while at the same time test you as a human being.
Heavy Rain officially released this week on the PS3, and while we’re working tirelessly to publish our review, I thought this would be a great time to inform you that Heavy Rain will make you cry.
The Mega 64 crew were aware of this, and decided to show how one of their own succumbed to the depression that can occur from something assimple as brushing your teeth in Heavy Rain.
While it may seem that Bioshock 2’s multiplayer was quickly tacked on so that 2K Marin wouldn’t have to endure gamers’ gripes about another single-player only Bioshock game, it really delivers. In a time when multiplayer modes are often an afterthought, Bioshock 2’s multiplayer is a great addition to the game and truly is a worthwhile, stand-alone experience. 2K Marin really put extra effort into this, making it alone worth the price of admission.
Nintendo’s plans for 2010 are already hitting the news wire and the reports are good for gamers. Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M will be coming sooner that most of us in the industry expected. The games will be released mid-year around Summer 2010.
Sony’s PSN series of The Tester has been live since February 18th and I can’t believe I missed this piece of internet gold. While I didn’t realize this song had anything to do with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 until Luger removed that stupid yellow trucker hat off her head and some lyrics about dropping bombs. This video screams “obnoxious” and the fact that Luger is a 3 doesn’t help her cause.
