Call of Juarez MP Demo Released

Worthplaying with the heads up today. While I wasn’t horribly impressed with the gameplay of the Singleplayer demo, the mutliplayer portion may turn out to be a bit more fun. Running around an old western town playing cowboy may harken back to the old days of my your childhood. But not mine. Because I never […]

Crysis Multiplayer ADD with Optional Punching Package

As some of you know, videos of multiplayer for Crysis have come out. I was highly anxious to see the game being put through the multiplayer paces. Sadly this is not what we get. Upon watching the videos you see what must be this guy all over again. They need to stop letting him play. […]

Call of Duty 3 Challenge…thing

This was in my inbox this morning. Spike TV (ugh) is hosting a Call of Duty 3 match on one of their shows meant for gaming. I hate Spike TV, I really do. But needless to say if you want to play the game early and have a chance to win some cash and other […]

Crysis Mutiplayer

Some slower news lately but today 1Up has an article about how Crysis Multiplayer is gonna pan out. From the read it sounds really good and thought out. They implement a credits system like how Tribes initially had the energy system, atleast, until server admins set it to unlimited. Basically the more people you kill […]

Call of Duty 3 trailers

I have to admit. I do respect the Battlefield series for progressing in the timeline. From WWII to “modern” combat to futuristic combat. They keep it moving. Call of Duty 3, however. They like it where they are. Except they just want it prettier. And as such we get a new game in the series […]

Promoting Windows Games and Communities

Firing Squad had an interesting post today. They attended Microsoft’s Gamefest (a developer’s conference) and got some insight on how Microsoft plans to encourage PC gaming and game communities. I’m actually rather glad this is being addressed. PC gaming seems to be taking a few hits lately with big consoles being pushed out and more […]
