Haze Clears In 2007, Forecast Shows Return In 2008

30. November 2007

Comments

Ubisoft has delayed the release of pretentious first-person shooter Haze from early December to the first quarter of 2008, according to Gamasutra. The timed PS3 exclusive, Free Radical-developed shooter should be worth the wait, however, because it’s, like, totally a work of art, man. All joking aside, Haze hasn’t failed to impress with its gorgeous [...]

27. November 2007

Comments

UbiSoft announced plans to release Rainbow Six Vegas 2 this coming March. For those of you that played the first Vegas game, you are probably very excited. The game had everything a first-person shooter lover would want. Though, newer games have caused the multiplayer match ups to become less satisfying, it only goes to show [...]

Turok Awards Team Killing with Achievement

27. November 2007

Comments

Hi, my name is Matt and I’m an achievement whore. However, even achievement whores have morals. Apparently, the brilliant minds over at Touchstone and Propoganda Games do not. Their latest title, an update to the previously lost cause Turok games, awards online gamers for doing the unthinkable: killing a teammate. The 10 point achievement, called [...]

Is Xbox Live Becoming a Better Place to Play?

24. November 2007

Comments

When I boot up Xbox Live, it’s generally to game with people I know. Lately, it’s been Halo 3, teaming up with buddies for ranked team deathmatch and team doubles. Something has been missing from the experience though; something that makes Xbox Live what it has been known for five years now: the idiots. After [...]

Halo 3 “Heroic” Map Pack Coming Dec. 11th

22. November 2007

Comments

Halo 3 fans can land themselves three additional maps in early December for $10. The Heroic Map Pack (as opposed to the “evil bastard” map pack apparently) will feature Standoff, Rat’s Nest, and Foundry. The latter is supposed to be a Forge fanatics dream, so if you’re not likely to edit maps and customize stuff, [...]

New America’s Army Game Not Looking Promising

17. November 2007

Comments

The original America’s Army game for PC and Mac was pretty cool. It was hard and realistic. However, something seemed different on the new game. I only played the demo that you can download from Xbox Live. It may not be the greatest way to judge a game, but if you don’t like the demo, [...]

Turok Hunts Dinosuars on the PC

8. November 2007

Comments

The Turok series used to be respectable, honest. Propaganda Games has been hard at work at hoisting the series out of the gaming garbage heap and undoing all the damage Acclaim did to the FPS franchise. Featuring gorgeous graphics, a return to its brutally violent roots, and 16-player mutliplayer, the upcoming series reboot, simply titled [...]

Answer The Call A Full Week Early

31. October 2007

Comments

Remember when retailers breaking Mortal Kombat’s “Mortal Monday” release date was big news? These days, it seems like a major game release doesn’t go by without someone breaking the street date. Case in point: according to Gameeater, an unnamed video game store in Westminster, Colorado has (and by now, “had”) four copies of [...]

Quake Wars Patched Up

27. October 2007

Comments

Splash Damage is happy. Quake Wars has received glowing reviews from publications and websites, and it should of. It’s a solid piece of FPS design in a season where there seems to be a lot of that going around. Still, more was needed and they have obliged with the first patch/fix/update/insert favorite term here. The [...]

26. October 2007

Comments

With Halo 3, Bungie has ensured every Halo fan will be sufficiently entertained for the remainder of the hardware generation. Sure, there’s a single player campaign with variable difficulty, a full featured multiplayer mode, and plenty of achievements to hunt, but the ingenious Saved Film feature will keep us all playing Halo 3 until, well… [...]

Midway takes BlackSite to the chopping block, online co-op first casualty

23. October 2007

Comments

BlackSite: Area 51, Midway’s impressive FPS based on the classic lightgun arcade game, has suffered from some unfortunate multiplayer content cuts, according to a recent IGN preview. While all versions of the game will no longer support the much-hyped online co-op, these cuts have hit the PS3 the hardest. Xbox 360 owners will still be [...]

Normally, I would avoid writing articles about such similar topics so often, but I cannot resist this time. Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix is an awesome game. The multiplayer on PC has been unmatched by other shooter games. This game has brought endless hours of addiction on, even while newer games continue to be [...]
