So we all are excited for the line up of games, right? Well at least Battlefield 3 is one of those that is highly anticipated. lucky for you guys there are some people that don't like to follow the rules and also that we like you guys...

Well how about we just show you instead of tell you!







Yeah I got a little excited so I just put all these on. If you want more you can scavenge the internet or you could just wait patiently for the beta to come out, and soon after at this rate the final release!

AMD the company behind the 360s graphics, said that the Xbox console will be able to render graphical detail on the level of James Cameron's movie Avatar.

They didnt just say that is going to have graphical power that is much farther than people were expecting to get to. They also happened to say that the A.I. will allow games with massive amounts of NPCs to have their own personality.

As a Xbox fanboy myself I have to say that I am very excited as this is a good jump for game consoles.

Earlier I discovered a domain name "Sony-Microsoft.com" what could this mean. Who knows but we do know that its actually in Microsoft's name so its gotta be something legitimate. Maybe we will be seeing a cross built next gen console this would diffidently be a weird turn of events.

I think it may be the first step in a line of partnerships and maybe a strong friendship that will improved both systems in the coming generation of consoles. Maybe we will see some Blu-ray on the Xbox, maybe we will see a PlayStation with a better online service... Either way stay tuned as we gather more information on the give subject.

Yesterday was July 7 that means that it was time for another Bungie day, and another Bungie vs. The World. In the previous years they have reigned victorious but this year we took the victory four ourselves. It seems there were some hard feelings from the last few times because we didn't just beat them we handed their virtual behinds to them in the form of DMRs to the face.

This year Bungie promised to send victors who earned a steaktacular medal against them a grade-A-Steak from Omaha Steaks. I think that may have had something to do with the performance of the community this year. I Guess if you offer free food for beating you, you cause people to open up a can on you.


The final tally was Bungie with a measly 48 wins and The World with a hefty 83 wins.

Creative director at Bioware, Casey Hudson will be with Mark Protosevich, the screenwriter for the project will be at Comic-Con on July 22 to reveal a small glimpse of the Mass Effect movie. We have been hearing about it for some time now and its great to see that it is actually in the works. Of course we all know that movies based from games are bad but this may be different as there are some things pointing out that Bioware is going to be very involved in the production of the movie. Looks like we will just have to wait and see how things go.

The arcade game Section 8: Prejudice released almost 3 months ago and has a large action report so far. The people over at Gamespy have been tracking the PC and 360 version of the game and put together a compilation of different stats. The numbers that are recorded so far are quite big.

Some of you have heard about a new MMO codenamed Titan in the works over at Blizzard, we all know about their previous massively multilayer online game , WOW, and have an idea about how this new game can turn out. The question is though what will they do with it, the name implies another fantasy game but that is not necessarily true. It would be cool to see Blizzard move into another era for a MMO and they would most likely be able to pull it off (granted I don't play WOW).

The main question is, what will happen with World Of Warcraft? some report do say that WOW has reached its Player-base cap after a drop in subscriptions of .6 million between October last year to March. There are other reports saying that the game will target a larger audience (why do you need more?) even though they are getting a few trillion dollars yearly from WOW. With so many games going for the F2P idea this will make people wonder what Blizzards plans to do with Titan. The new game is allegedly planed to launch with in the next 12 to 24 months.

If you ask me, I like the F2P theory but I am not inclined to give any money to them to get the items that are available via micro-transaction. In most cases when games go Free to Play they loose a lot of what made them great in the first place. This also brings me back to WOW, they would naturally more the support over to WOW so they can get people there but what happens to the previous game will that shut down at all or will it become F2P. If it goes free they should leave it alone and not try to make any more money off of it.

Respawn Interactive, the studio formed by the two former Infinity Ward CEOs, recently released some pictures of their new game. They don't help you at all on what it could be. with one of the pictures being a close-up shot of something with the word "Down" and the other really blurry, fortunately I can see what the blurred image has in it but i cant really say what it is for sure. The pictures actually appear to be concept art at this point, but we have out ideas on what they are and would love to hear what you think. Also stay tuned as we will work on doing some clarification work to show you what they are (mostly the blurred one).

The gaming service OnLive has their sights set for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. currently the cloud gaming company is going through talks with Microsoft and Sony to be able to provide the features on the two systems. The VP seems to like the idea and spoke with CVG about the proposed expansion of the company:

"Absolutely, they would make great consoles. Our controller is a hybrid between a PS3 controller and an Xbox controller. It's all compatible, it would just work. There are OnLive guys chatting [Sony and MS], but we'll see where it goes. But it would absolutely work, we're ready to work with everybody."

Apparently the idea isn't that far out there, and the only issue would be with MS and Sony. I personally don't know about this idea, cloud gaming is a cool thought but you would have to have a internet connection at all times to play the games. If there would be a way to change it so that you can download to games that would be great.

If you haven't played World of Warcraft before and wanted to try the game free, you used to have to play as much as you could within a 10 or 14 day trial period, and then you'd have to buy the full game with a subscription. But with the latest content update "Rage of the Firelands," Blizzard has decided to take a new approach to the trial version of World of Warcraft.

Blizzard has completely gotten rid of the timed 10 and 14 day trial times, but you still have a level 20 limit. You can play the trial version of the game as long as you want all the way up to level 20 before you have to pay-to-play. The new trial version also includes the new option to play as a Blood Elf or a Draenei. My opinion is that Blizzard will attract even more new fans to the game this way since most of us don't like playing with a time restriction.

The new adventure update for that game still doesn't have a release date but we do know that it will not be 1.7 and will be 1.8 as notch is going to make an update with the pistons alone because we wanted it.

He was trying to keep it a surprise but he just couldn't any more though there are still some things that we don't know. What we do know is that it will be a big update. Notch on his blog talked a bit about it and how they will be updating us on the new features while its on its way. Below is a small bit of what we can expect for 1.8.

"Already implemented are new complex terrain features, at least one new mob, some interesting new combat mechanics, a new lighting engine, and some experimental new gameplay ideas. To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages."

It's well known that Nintendo is doing a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS. What's not as well known is that they plan to intentionally keep as many of the bugs from the original Nintendo 64 version in the game as possible. It's more for the nostalgic purpose and the original fan-base than anything else. Nearly, if not all, of the people who've played the original game thought the bugs were fun to play around with, so it's easy to see why Nintendo would plan to keep these implemented as much as possible.

It seems Activision has been registering new domain names lately all relative to something called "Goldeneye Reloaded." Nothing has been leaked on the game and nothing is known about it. This could be a number of things: a revamped version of Goldeneye from the Nintendo 64 with HD graphics for modern consoles (since the new one with Daniel Craig on the Wii isn't in HD), or quite possibly "a turn as an Xbox Live Arcade game or on PSN."

Again, this is all just speculation. Nothing's been confirmed, released, or leaked. It's guesses on what Activision is up to with these new domains.

It is officially ruled by the supreme court that video games are protected by the constitution, primarily in this case the First Amendment for free speech. The decision in this case stated that the sale of "ultra-violent" (what ever that means) to minors is not illegal. This a big step in the "right" direction (kinda) as it will hopefully bring more light to the world that is video games.

However I would like to state that this does mean that we are more than likely going to be seeing a lot more little kids screaming into their mics while they are killed.

It is important to know that is was a case brought up from California, the case was know as Schwarzenegger vs. EMA and became Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association somewhere in the battle that took somewhere around six years. So from all this it still doesn't really matter until this get moving so that we all get enjoy the goodness. Either way you look at this was a triumph for us and we all should all make a note here.

the recent detective thriller L.A. Noire that released last month actually had been in development for quite some time. In fact it was seven years and it wasn't a Duke Nukem kinda thing the game was in production the whole time. during its development it had changed publishers midway through from Sony to Rockstar.

There were many reasons that it took so long to make but much of it was that the game had been the biggest project for any developer in Australia, and the force behind the production were mostly new and had this as their first project. Some of the other reasons that were stated said that the management had been terrible in a variety of different ways from abuse to insane money spending on the project.

After the projects boss spent a reported "tens of millions" on equipment in just one year the publisher at the time Sony had decided to drop the title even though they had great faith in the title after their last project. The decision had been made solely because the price tag had far exceeded what Sony wanted to pay. This event hurt the company's ability greatly and caused many more problems with the development but they were able to be brought back up by a new publisher Rockstar Games.

Rockstar had been determined to make sure this game was great. They even spent more that Sony had just to be sure the game would turn out. While under Rockstars wing the games had been ported to other systems, revamped, and even went through four different delays.

Ultimatly in the end of it all Rockstar had been right as the game had been a total success. with its release in May the games has had roughly three million sales world wide and just under 900,000 in its debut.

The company that owns more than is imaginable and has made all kinds of cool software, especially my favorite the Android OS has announced their new expansion of the company. if you haven't guessed by the title its games, yes they have decided that they want to make games. in fact they are hiring for positions right now.

Its still a mystery what the focus of the games will be but its Google so it doesn't really matter. However if you are interested in a position with Games at Google then check it out here.

It appears that although almost everywhere else in the world is enjoying the PlayStation Network after its security breach, Japan certainly isn't. The PSN is still down in Japan, which was supposed to launch sometime late last month. The Japanese Governmental bureaucrats at the Ministry of Economy's Media and Content Industry department "won't allow Sony to resume its PSN service until the electronics giant gives more information on new security measures."

What they're asking for is what the new preventative measures will be with their service, and how Sony will win back their customer's confidence over "personal data such as credit card information." It's essentially a way to ensure that this sort of security breach won't happen again.

It's estimated that the PSN in Japan will be restored sometime next month.

By now all of you have most likely seen the trailer for Halo 4 and noticed that the Master Chief looked different. Well that's not all, his armor is changed but his behaviors have as well. We don't know much yet but we are due to know soon enough.

In an interview with Frank O'Connor from OXM he stated "There's some story behind his new look, There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his behaviors have changed. We'll see in good time."

So be sure to stay tuned for any news on the subject and also if you haven't seen the trailer yet here you go. We are so nice to you...
