Super Street Fighter IV

Everyones favorite street fighting game (Street Fighter) is coming back! Again!



This seems like pretty much the exact same trailer as there was for the original Street Fighter IV. While it makes the game look awesomely stylized as fuck, it doesnt really do the game justice. Alot of fans were unhappy with this fact,

So lets look a little more in depth,

Modern Warfare 2 360 Bundle

As you probably know, a new special edition Xbox 360 has been released in the spirit of gearing up for the release of Modern Warfare 2.


BEHOLD!


As well as a decked out case with scribble THAT ACTUALLY IS MILITARY CODE it will include two controllers, a headset, and a special edition copy of the highly anticipated game. But is this worth 400 whopping dollars American? Well, there is another thing. A 250GB hard drive. This is a great value considering a 120GB drive costs half of the bundle. But to someone like myself who has had a 20GB drive and has never filled it up, it just might be not worth getting. But 360's have been cursed with a short lifespan, so any gamer who has buried their console recently and has a genuine interest in MF2 (or at least someone who calls them self a gamer) and a need for a absurd amount of space should take advantage of the bundle and pick it up.

Halo 3: ODST

Before I begin with my review I should inform you on how I got my copy of the highly anticipated game.

Its September 21, 10:30pm. I call up a good friend and ask him if he would like to pick me up for the midnight launch. He abruptly tells me that he cannot go, and so my only chance of a ride falls into shambles. Fearing I would end up last in line and have to wait until dawn before getting my copy I quickly begin walking down to the local mall. In case you don't know I am fairly heavy person. Yes I am fat. So walking 40 minutes straight wouldn't be something I would usually do. But it's video games. Anyways I arrive at the mall with enough sweat to fill a pitcher and promptly try to get in. A friendly old man opens the door as I explain my reasons for being there so late. Unsure, he calls down security and they ask me the same questions. I tell them I am here for the midnight launch of a video game at EB Games. They tell me there is no such event and that EB Games is closed until tomorrow. Now, I am pissed but refusing to walk back. I summon a cab and angrily go home. The next day I return to a now open mall to a now open EB Games and demand that they tell me why they would tell me about a midnight release of ODST when I pre-order the game, and then NOT have a midnight release. The clerk looks at me confusedly and says "......whut?" Rage settles in but I will not make a mockery of myself in such a populated area, too many witness to a clerk getting their jugular ripped out. I buy the thing I spent so much effort into I might as well have bled for and return home to relax and play ODST. Now! Onto the review,

Guild Wars 2 Trailer



As many of you hopefully know, Guild Wars is NCsofts trademark MMO. This trailer is of the sequel to Guild Wars, appropriately named, Guild Wars 2. To sum up my thoughts of this trailer;

Multiple races = WIN
Epic Dragon fights = WIN
zombie army controlled by some sort of super dragon = WIN
super dragons name = FAIL
graphics = WIN WIN WIN
higher level cap = WIN

All in all, this game looks like its going to be massive. Look forward to a more in depth review sometime soon......or whenever the beta comes out.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

Dark clouds pour rain over Gotham city, lighting flashes angrily as the eternal storm of crime darkens every light in the city. Police cars zoom by and a CB radio crackles, "Batman is taking the Joker to Arkham Island." Then a single finned black car emerges from the shadows at a unnatural speed, YES! The old Batmobile is back! The music slowly builds up, and the dark tone that we know and love settles in.

This is Batman.
