de Blob 2 (Xbox 360) Review

De Blob 1 was an interesting game upon its Wii only release. It was a very pretty, colorful Wii only game with very little depth or substance, and the sales numbers showed that. De Blob developers Blue Tongue Entertainment have decided to expand their colorful game onto the Xbox 360 and PS3 with the latest installment de Blob 2 in hopes of better sales numbers. Will this risk pay off? I don’t know what the answer will be but I know what it should be.

You start off de Blob 2 as de Blob (obviously) and you realize that… the gray guy… made things gray. Or something. Story is by no means an integral part to the de Blob experience. It’s mostly just a means to deliver cute little cutscenes that usually involve a blob getting hurt. After all the towns are gray, you must embark on your journey to suck up color and paint the town with your body.

FPS Trainer Enters Beta

Do you suck at video games?  If you find yourself getting stabbed in the back every ten seconds in Call of Duty, or if you walk around Halo with a “Stick Plasma Grenade Here” sign on your helmet, then you might want to have a look at a new free-to-play online game called FPS Trainer.  It purports to help raise the skills of a novice player to an intermediate level, and even has some content on the way which will help already experienced players get to a professional level.

Modern Warfare 3 Teaser Site

A new teaser site has popped up for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, with the URL titled “www.findmakarov.com”. The icon is a holographic picture of Makarov’s face, who, in case you didn’t know, is the main villain from Modern Warfare 2. The site was nothing more than a countdown, but it used assets from the Modern Warfare 2 trailers, and briefly showed. a shadowy figure with military fatigues and a beret.

Bulletstorm PC Review

Back in the 90s, when first person shooters were starting to get more popular, games had a lot of personality and over the top mannerisms not found in today’s shooters, arguably for better or worse. Over the years, though, the first person shooter audience has become fascinated with more realistic, and relatively subdued shooter experiences. As a result, the fact that Bulletstorm, an over the top, stylistic and profane first person shooter, even exists at this point is something of a miracle. Now that Bulletstorm is out on shelves and in digital storefronts, the question has to be asked; is this throwback any good? The answer, happily, is yes. Bulletstorm is fantastic. A very fun game that could even attract some of the most hardcore Call of Duty players, if they were just looking for great shooting mechanics. The problem is, is that Bulletstorm doesn’t have much value for your $60.
