Fourteen years ago Matt’s father was a part of the first Red Spike experiment and went nuts and executed his own wife which resulted in his day being shot to hell by the military. Matt is then taken to a boarding school where he’s unknowingly groomed for the Red Spike program. This is your first indication that this is the origin story and it doesn’t get much better from here on out.
Metro 2033 was far, far from a perfect game. In fact, as far as pure gameplay goes, it wasn’t even a particularly good game. However, it set new standards for the level of detail and immersion that is found in shooters. There was a truly pain staking level of attention paid to absolutely every part of every environment and every item in the game. While by no means a hit critically or commercially, Metro 2033 certainly found a loyal following.
Well it looks like DC will be publishing at least two comics in August after all. First will be the end of Flashpoint with the fifth issue, the second will be the all new Justice League written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee. In a letter sent to the retailers from DC about the day and date digital release the shipping plans for the book were announced along with a few more details than were told on the Source eariler today.
Well shit
just got real as DC just announced that not only are the rumors of them re-launching
every ongoing title with a brand new #1 attached to it, true, but that with the
launch of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s brand new Justice League #1 all of their
comics are going digital day and date. What’s that mean? You better grab a
tablet computer, because you’ll be able to get every DC comic book released in
comic stores on Wednesday on your tablet computer. I’m sure about half of the
industry is crapping its pants right now and retailers are will no doubt cut
their orders in half in anticipation of lost sales.
Nerd music is becoming popular there’s no question about it. With “Nerdcore Rap” from Adam WarRock to “Geek Rock” from Kirby Krackle, you can’t deny that the once niche music is becoming increasingly more mainstream. With that being said, Kirby Krackle’s newest video inspired by the Green Lantern comic series, is entitled Ring Capacity. Enjoy the catchey song and the wonderful video from Betsy Lee.
Well, we don’t have new information about the actual contents of this box, but this is what the box that your copy of Dead Island will come in looks like. The publisher Deep Silver has been slow in letting out real information about their zombie apocalypse resort game, so we’ll have to be satisfied with this latest little morsel
Shhh… Don’t tell anyone but the developers of The Secret World have released a new Secret Developer Diary. It’s five minutes of in-game footage, FMV cutscenes and interviews with Ragnar Tornquist the Sr. Producer & Creative Director along with Joel Bylos the Lead Content Designer, and Dag Scheve the Lead Writer discussing the clever premise of the game, and how that story will be told.
This seems like the full version of that teaser that showed up not too long ago. The first thing that jumps right out at you is the improvement on the technical front, Gears 3 looks a lot better than the previous games and the shots of the campaign show off some amazing things that we didn’t see in the beta. That annoying general from Gears 2 is back and so are the Carmine clones, but hey, with the good always comes the bad.
The
scenery and art direction in “Panda 2” is as stunning as ever; a unique blend
of realism exhibited countless times in the fluid fur of the main characters,
the elegant surrounding natural environment and of course the stylized
fictional aesthetics of talking ass-kicking animals.
The greater the popularity of Facebook games like Farmville and Mafia Wars rises, the more gamers seem to hate the mere idea of Facebook games. Much like the Appstore, a lot of the games on Facebook are crap, but there are a select few which I found well worth checking out.
