halo

First Range told you about Call of Duty: World at War. Then he told you about Gears of War 2. Now I’m here to tell you that Bungie is also giving Halo 3 players a double XP weekend. However, this “weekend” begins today and goes until 2am Monday. It also requires the Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic map packs. Enjoy.

Celebrate the 4th of July with umm…a Gears of War 2 Double XP weekend

by Rangebar Merani on July 1, 2009 at 9:27 am

Gears of War 2

So after just posting the announcement of a Call of Duty: World at War double XP this weekend to celebrate the 4th of July, I found out that Epic Games is doing the same thing with their own title giving Gears of War 2 it’s own double XP weekend from July 3 to July 6, as well. During ranked matches on the public playlist, everyone will receive double the XP, and the winning team will also walk away with an additional 500 XP.

In addition to the double XP promotion, the latest update for Gears of War 2 will be released sometime before the weekend allowing for some changes to the Horde mode (most notably the addition of experience points). Speaking of the Horde mode, Epic will be celebrating Independence Day with it’s own fireworks by adding Tickers to every wave in Horde, and on the 10th wave of every Horde match, there will only be Tickers.

So, which double XP promotion will you be enjoying this weekend? Call of Duty: World at War or Gears of War 2?

NBA 2K10’s huge 10th Anniversary Edition Revealed

by Rangebar Merani on June 30, 2009 at 10:49 am

nba2k100630

2K Sport’s 10th Anniversary edition of NBA 2K10 is huge, and I’m not exaggerating by any means, as it may well be the biggest bundle for a limited-edition game ever.

Unveiled today, the $99.99 10th Anniversary package comes with the game (duh), an exclusive Kobe Bryant figurine by McFarlane Toys, a Kobe Bryant poster, a video about the NBA 2K series, and an account to a special VIP online lobby for the game called the “Gold Room”.

Oh, don’t let me forget to mention that the package also comes with a storage locker that stores 20 games. Nope, you didn’t read that wrong. The game actually comes with storage locker fit to hold 20 games. Now do you believe me when I say this anniversary package is huge?

Looking to buy a PS3 anytime soon? Wanting to get the best deal? Well, Best Buy has got a pretty nice PS3 bundle their offering right now. The bundle includes the 80GB model of the PS3 hardware for $399.99, along with a copy of LittleBigPlanet and a Blu-ray copy of Wall-E for FREE! Quite an impressive package, so if you’re interested in getting a PS3, I’d put some thought into this deal.

Tropico 3 Closed Beta Starting

by Dylan Duarte on June 27, 2009 at 11:17 pm

tropico

I’ve never had the pleasure of playing the Tropico games, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become a bigger fan of sim games, so Tropico 3 caught my eye a while ago. The closed beta is either starting soon or has already started, so you can go sign up for a chance to get your Tropico on.

The Punisher: No Mercy Trailer

by Dylan Duarte on June 27, 2009 at 10:49 pm

The Punisher: No Mercy will be available on the PlayStation Store on July 2nd for $10. I really hope there’s a demo. I’m interested because of my love for The Punisher, but I also have a love/hate relationship with first-person shooters. When done right, it’s one of my favorite genres, but more often than not it’s done wrong.

Xbox Live Silver Members 1 Vs. 100 Weekend

by Dylan Duarte on June 26, 2009 at 10:45 pm

Is that Conan O'Brien?

The 1 Vs. 100 beta has been going on for some time now but it’s only been available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and if you’re a cheapskate like me, that’s a problem. From today until Sunday, however, Silver members can join in on the scheduled games. According to the main 1 Vs. 100 website, the games start tomorrow at 3:00 PM (PST, I believe).

Trio Busted For Wal-Mart Video Game Scam

My favorite part of this is that they kept all of their postal reciepts. You need to be diligent with your finances, even if you’re a filthy criminal!

Check out this new trailer for Game Arts’ Super Smash Bros.-style fighter Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up featuring Raphael and Casey Jones taking on a Foot Ninja and an Utrominater, whatever the hell that is.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is scheduled for a fall release on the Wii, as part of the TMNT’s 25th anniversary, along with a remake of the side-scrolling arcade title TMNT: Turtles in Time, which will hit Xbox Live on July 22 and later this summer on the Playstation Network.

Man what’s with all these Jimmy Fallon-related stories that we’ve been posting lately? I don’t even like the guy that much! I don’t know how I feel about Tiger Woods, though.

redsteel21

Red Steel for the Nintendo Wii wasn’t terrible. I don’t think it was good, necessarily, but for being the first of its kind, it was fun. Red Steel 2 will make use of the Wii MotionPlus and the devs want to make sure that shit is off the hook. Read more…

Review: Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

by Dan Landis on June 25, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Riddick review

Oh, Vin Diesel. Even though I find it somewhat amusing that you feel the need to star in all of the games that you make, I actually don’t mind it when that game turns out to be pretty decent. The real question here is whether or not people are willing to pay full price for what is essentially a last-gen game with a facelift and an expansion pack. Do you really think your game is that good? Read more…
