UltraMarines: Warhammer 40k Movie Announces Voice Actors (Video)
Mar 9th
We’ll soon be treated to a few movies based of video games, like this one. TRON seems to be a great candidate for a video game based movie, and that trailer makes it look like it will be one to watch. Another notable movie will be the one from Legendary pictures based on Blizzard’s Warcraft games, but that may still be a while off. However, there are other noteworthy ones in the works as well.
If you haven’t heard about it already, let me introduce you to the UltraMarines, a movie based… Read >>
Battle.net: New Bnet Integration Shown In StarCraft II UI, World of Warcraft Implications Pondered (Video)
Feb 18th
I’ve never been a big fan of RTS games, primarily because I don’t multi-task well and managing all those units and construction and such is usually a bit too much for me. Throw in competitive play and I’m bound to have one sad losing experience after another. I guess that explains why my first foray into Blizzard’s games was with World of Warcraft, and it’s RTS style titles. Regardless, I’m throwing that all to the wind and giving StarCraft II a nice long look when it comes out.
Closed beta recently began for SC2, and a… Read >>
Mass Effect 2: What Mass Effect 2 Means For Star Wars: The Old Republic (Video)
Feb 16th
I have fallen in love with BioWare’s RPG’s. Many of you may have been experiencing the quality games they’ve been putting out for quite a while now, but I was a relative RPG newbie – until recently. I had not played Mass Effect 1, but had ME2 on pre-order, especially after having played Dragon Age: Origins. Nearly 3 weeks after I started the game, I have completely finished the game on Insanity difficulty twice. I did it first as a Sentinel and second as a Vanguard. I also played about half the game as an Adept, and… Read >>
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – Port Valdez Demo Gameplay Seals The Pre-Order Deal (Video)
Jan 28th
In my first look at Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I stated that I thought this game was coming to kick Modern Warefare 2’s ass. Today we have more video of the Port Valdez Demo to drive that point home, and apparently beta testing is now in full swing. Retailers began selling pre-orders with beta access and all sorts of other goodies, and from what I’m hearing the beta servers have been getting pounded. Over twitter EA stated they were having trouble getting beta information out on their blog since it was also getting crushed. It… Read >>
Move Over Modern Warfare 2: Battlefield Bad Company 2 Is Here To Own You (Video)
Jan 22nd
EA recently released a video of the single player campaign in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and I must say the trailer looks great. It seems to be heavily sprinkled with game play footage, wicked rock and roll music, and the ever cool quote of “It’s gonna get real ugly” to top off the cool meter:
However, I’m not much for trailers that may not give you the best idea as to how the game plays. Upon further investigation, I came upon this purely awesome developer walk through of how squad deathmatch games work. Check… Read >>
Global Agenda: Game Play Video, Thoughts On The Game
Jan 15th
I’ve been in Global Agenda’s closed beta for a few months now, and I must say that the game has progressed nicely in that time. The starting tutorial went from being something very short to one that is very well fleshed out and can take about half an hour to get through. I recently went through the tutorial as the Recon class and took the video below.
Shown here is the class selection screen, facial customization, opening story and most of the training mission with me playing a Recon character. I took the liberty to chop… Read >>

Eye Candy, Anticipation And Games: Why Cinematic Intros Should Go Away

As gamers we’ve all experienced the anticipation of a new game that we are really looking forward to playing. With that anticipation, we usually devour all the information we can get about a title. When a game company releases a cinematic intro for our anticipated game, we drool over how awesome the game will be based on how well the cinematic was done. Great cinematics for many games have been released, and I can tell you not one of them gives the average player a decent idea of what the actual game play is like. Game cinematics… Read >>
