Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception”

If you were to ask me for one game to justify the purchase of a PS3 I’d point to the original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune as being it. Especially when you consider that the sequel managed to improve on the original in every way. Now the third iteration is about to hit store shelves and I . . . → Read More: Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception”

Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3″

After the disaster that was the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it probably comes as a bit of a surprise that I’m looking forward to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. As I recall I recommended that if you absolutely had to have MW2 that you buy it either for the Xbox 360 or PS3 as . . . → Read More: Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3″

“Portal: No Escape”

This is an awesome short film inspired by Valve’s awesome First Person Puzzle game Portal, which you should really play if you haven’t already. Check it:

Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Battlefield 3″

I have to admit that I’m a little surprised by this anticipation. Mainly because I absolutely hated the original Battlefield 1942 and my opinion of the series didn’t improve any with the successive games in the series. There’s a long standing rivalry between fans of the Call of Duty series and the Battlefield series and I’ve long been . . . → Read More: Games I’m Looking Forward To: “Battlefield 3″

EA has launched an Alpha Test for Battlefield 3 multiplayer.

And I’ve been invited to participate in it.

And that’s about all I’m allowed to say about it according to the EULA. One, that it exists and two, that I’m in it.

Yes, I really did read the EULA so I’d know how much I could talk about it.

That said this should be . . . → Read More: EA has launched an Alpha Test for Battlefield 3 multiplayer.

Team Fortress 2: Meet the Medic

It’s been a long time since Valve released the last in this series of intros to the characters that make up their Team Fortress 2 game. Not that I’m complaining as each one has been better and funnier than the last.

This time out it’s the Medic’s turn to show off just what makes him . . . → Read More: Team Fortress 2: Meet the Medic

Rendering 11 million player deaths in “Just Cause 2″ is wicked cool.

One of the more interesting things about video games — particularly multiplayer video games — that I occasionally stop to think about is the massive amounts of data that they generate. Take, for example, your typical first person shooter game — say Halo 3 or Call of Duty –and consider how many bullets are fired . . . → Read More: Rendering 11 million player deaths in “Just Cause 2″ is wicked cool.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer hits the net.

And it’s looking pretty good:

It’ll definitely be interesting to see Infinity Ward will be able to live up to expectations now that so many top people responsible for the series have left the studio, but if this trailer is anything to go by it looks like they might pull it off.

Falling victim to your own grenade spam.

One of the more annoying types of players in first person shooter games is the Grenade Spammer. The very first thing they do when they spawn is toss off any grenades they have in the general direction of where they think the enemy is in the hopes that they’ll randomly kill a player or two. . . . → Read More: Falling victim to your own grenade spam.

PWN3D is the most realistic First Person Shooter ever!

I have to admit, as impressive as this game looks, I don’t think I wanna play it:

It’s not the respawns that would bother me, it’s the damage to my furnishings that would get old really quick.
