They Hunger again

A story more dear to my heart. You know that old Half Life mod? They Hunger. It was/is an awesome single player mod. Me and a friend played through that entire mod together once. We set it up so you played through a chapter or through the first death or something like that and then […]

Rogue Warrior

Your usual source for interviews, Firing Squad got the skinny on a new game coming out for the PC and 360. While your typical Navy SEAL type game, Rogue Warrior, has a real Navy SEAL feeding the devs info and whatnot. Apparently this guy wrote a book a while back and is currently the man […]

Pssst

Went into BestBuy today. Apparently they learned from Wednesday’s mistake. They had plenty of copies today of FEAR Extraction Point. And they even charged me less than the sticker price! Said $29.99 in the yellow BestBuy sticker. Receipt came out $24.99. Yay! That’s a hint and an omen guys. Go get it while BestBuy has […]

Round up

So there’s been a myriad of things happening lately.
FEAR Extraction Point was released and shipped. I went to the local Best Buy at lunch today to pick it up. They did not have it. There was much rage and violence. Each employee had a copy of Barbie’s Funland Adventure inserted into their bodies. Good thing […]

Halloween Themed FPS

In the mood for something festive and spooky but you’ve already played through FEAR a dozen five times? And let’s face it, FEAR didn’t exactly have any orange pumpkins to help get you into the spirit of things. Well, worry not. Halloween: The New Nightmare (because I guess the old one wasn’t good enough) is […]

Halo Movie Misfires

While a lot of video game to movie adaptions haven’t done so well (i.e. Doom or…*shudder* BloodRayne) Halo was looking to be slightly promising with Peter Jackson on board. Well according to a recent press release the deal is off! Sorta.
Universal and Fox withdrew their commitments to the highly anticipated adaptation at the end of […]

Rainbox 6 Vegas Facing

Have you ever wanted to see the face of the guy who was beating you 10-0, or that moron who was just being a tard and you couldn’t stand him. Well now you can. This has been mentioned before but recently some screenshots were released so you could see it in action. Basically they use […]

Behind the Portal

Computer & Video Games scored an interview with Kim Swift and a couple of lines from Doug Lombardi himself in their talk about Portal and if that sentence doesn’t make any sense then I don’t even know why you bother reading. While it doesn’t reveal a ton about the game itself, the interview does provide […]

Call of Juarez Mappack

From the “jumping the gun” (get it? gun. Cause it’s a western?!) archives comes news of the boys at Techland working on a mappack for their yet unreleased(North America) game Call of Juarez. There’s always a few ways to look at this. The cynic in me cries foul in the fact that they’re having to […]

For those of us who enjoy reading and playing games, the 4th book of the Halo series is being released at the end of this month. Halo:Ghosts of Onyx. IGN has a nice little interview with Eric Nylund, the author of two of the books and now a third. While there isn’t a whole lot […]

Call of Duty 3 preview

For you fans of the never ending saga of WWII, Firing Squad got a hands on look at the latest game for the Call of Duty franchise. They give you a quick overview and even a brief history lesson on the Polish. I never knew!

I enjoyed the Call of Duty 2 single player campaign, […]

Battlefield 2142 Demo

For those of you who don’t know, and honestly if you didn’t then you probably really didn’t care in the first place and you won’t care now, the Battlefield 2142 demo is finally out. Kinda like the post title says. Worthplaying has a link for it. Gamespot did too, but for some odd reason they […]
