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.
Needing very little help, the action-adventure hack-n-slash genre just got whole lot better because of EA’s Visceral Games adaptation of The Divine Comedy starring Dante himself in Dante’s Inferno. So far, action games are the rage this year with Darksiders and Bayonetta hitting first quarter. But if you’re looking for originality, consider Dante’s Inferno a great clone instead. Comparisons to Santa Monica Studios’ God of War have been made and with good reason. With that, controversy is not something new for this EA game. Heck, at E3 2009, EA themselves protested the creation of Dante’s Inferno and vowed to show us that hell isn’t all that great after all. Real smooth EA! In turn, this ended up being a self-promotion move for Dante’s Inferno in peeking gamers interests. Sure, DI is a copy and paste with a hellish skin overlay of Kratos and God of War, but don’t let that deter you from the great story and detailed visuals because this game is good, real good. Hell Awaits…
Developer Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and publisher EA have been working on their upcoming FPS, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and it’s turning out to be a title I’m highly looking forward to playing. BFBC2 will continue the action established in Modern Warfare 2 with larger, more intricately detailed maps, vehicles and aircraft, and destructible environments. Nothing screams, original one of a kind matches like Bad Company 2!
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has just launched an Ultimate Prestige site that allows you to enter your Xbox 360 gamertag for a chance at some insider information on weapons, vehicles and map information. But there’s a catch. The site is locked and only those Veteran Modern Warfare 2 players who are skilled enough can get in. Give it a try and see if you’re as good as EA thinks you should be.
And here we have it. The first rejected video game ad from Superbowl XLIV is none other than EA’s Dante’s Inferno. Why? Well because their ad is strictly telling us to “Go to hell”. Although the ad has aired on TV, CBS has declined that ad from being played during 2010’s Superbowl XLIV.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has been the hottest sport for the past 3 years and EA is trying to bring it to the 360 and PS3. Problem is there has been very little news concerning EA Sports MMA. To add to the mystery, EA has released some screens that shows off 2 fighters from their latest roster. Bobby Lashley (black guy) and Jeff Monson (white guy). Check out the full roster below:
Although it’s going to be officially released next week on January 26th, pirates have already obtained and leaked an Xbox 360 copy of Mass Effect 2 and available through various torrent sites. The file weighs in at a hefty 13GB (dual layer hold 9gb???) No further information has been announced about the leak but it looks like the Pirates have struck again!!!
I’ve been pondering the purchase of Mass Effect 2 for a couple of weeks now. After I played and completed Mass Effect 1 within 3 weeks, I thought “Great game. But I’m looking for a deal to come along”… until now. It seems EA is finally coming around to gamers who purchase titles “new” versus “used” by way of in-game incentives. For those who purchase a new copy Mass Effect 2 you’ll be greeted to know of some DLC and something called “The Cerberus Network,” an in-game portal that will funnel Mass Effect 2 daily messages, downloadable content and news about DLC to players.
Fans of the arcade and console classic NBA Jam are in for a treat today as EA Sports announced they’re remaking NBA Jam for the Nintendo Wii later this year.
The new NBA Jam promises to bring the original gameplay elements that we all know and love while some new game modes and characters will be included as well. NBA Jam will also include “re-defining visuals” with true-to-life body types, updated physics, and visible player emotions.
That’s all well and good. All I ask is that I still be able to play with Bill Clinton, or at least allow me to customize my player to have a goat head, just like my character in NBA Hangtime on the N64. I think I named him Chupacabra. I know. I’m pretty sick.
The developers behind the Modern Warfare series may have made their last Call of Duty franchised FPS. Infinity Ward has told a source at video game website, VG247, that it would like to work on “something completely new.” Whether that “something” is in the same genre as a First Person Shooter, we don’t know yet. Modern Warfare 3 looks like it may not happen…
EA officially announced recently the sequel to last year’s space horror title, Dead Space 2. Dead Space 2 has us playing the role of Issac Clarke yet again and this time he’ll have a wider range of weapons to dismember any Necromporphs that comes his way.
“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey. The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of necromorphs that need killing!” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producerof Dead Space 2. “In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”
I absolutely loved Dead Space and I personally am excited to hear a sequel is being released. The atmosphere and enemies in Dead Space always had me playing the game at the edge of my seat.
