EA’s Project Ten Dollar marches on

I expect this is what Project Ten Dollar’s next phase will look like. “Gimme the cassshhh!” Project Ten Dollar, for those of you who don’t know, is the name of EA’s master plan to take more of your money.  At its inception, the basic premise was this: if you buy a game new, you get [...]

MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!

This goes along with my article from last week.  In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2′s apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on.  Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon [...]

Modern Warfare 2: How many players?

Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert.  Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users.  Yes folks, 25 million.  The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is “Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers.”  First off, don’t [...]

Final Fantasy XIII out in less than 24 hours and I wish I cared…

I know, I know. Almost everyone who reads this will, most likely, want to burn me at the stake but I guess I’m not all that interested in JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing Games) anymore. I try to be, I really do because, once upon a time, I really enjoyed them. Final Fantasy VII is still [...]

The PC as a “platform”

Microsoft and Sony have it easy, in a way.  Xbox Live and Playstation Network are easy methods of integrating a multiplayer experience because everyone has the same operating environment, the same hardware, the same software.  The PC is a different issue altogether.  The PC is a platform, in a sense, but only in the respect [...]

Aliens Vs. Predator Multiplayer Demo Now Available

“I’m gonna eat ya with my little mouth!” Word on the street was that Rebellion would release a demo for the updated AvP, but there hadn’t been confirmation whether or not it would be before the full game’s release.  Just shy of two weeks before AvP ships, you can now get the multiplayer demo on [...]

Modern Warfare 2 on the PC: A Month Later

estimated-top-10-ytd-v2

It is now one month after the release of the most popular polished turd in history.  Since Activision and Infinity Ward are interested in nothing other than numbers, let’s take a moment to examine some as they pertain to MW2 on the PC. Gamasutra is reporting that Modern Warfare 2 has sold about 4.2 million [...]

More Borderlands DLC Announced

One man enter, two man leave.

Hot on the heels of The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, it’s been announced that Borderlands is due for another round of DLC.  This time you’ll be taken to “Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot” for three “Riot Mode” arenas.  But you’re not just getting more gameplay time here; there are quests which allow you to earn [...]

Not quite Reviews in Review: Left 4 Dead 2

Rageometer

Rageometer:  (2/5) I finally played Left 4 Dead 2 for the first time the other night.  I know, it’s been out for a few days and I already had a preorder.  But hey, I’ve been busy, so get off it.  Anyhow, I think the game is an immense improvement over its predecessor (which is saying [...]

Reviews In Review — MW2 Edition

Rageometer

Every now and again I’m going to pick apart some game reviews to show how reviewers today, more often than not, are hurting gaming. For this inaugural edition, I’ll examine that elephant in the room crapped out by Bobby Kotick and Co. known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Rageometer: (5/5) The PS3 and [...]
