My Thoughts on the Modern Warfare 2 PC Situation

by Dylan Duarte on November 17, 2009 at 2:39 pm

This is the stuff I'm talking about.

Last night I posted a rumor about the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 being a console port. Reading through the Digg comments, specifically the complaints directed towards the game and Infinity Ward, I was met with the same immature, aggravating garbage that I’ve been reading for the past month.

Modern Warfare 2 on PC Simply a Console Port?

by Dylan Duarte on November 17, 2009 at 5:47 am

The raging fires of rage surrounding the PC version of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are already face-meltingly hot and now the above screenshot, supposedly taken from the PC version of the game, suggests that it’s just a console port. Read more…

gearbox-creative-lead-calls-eventual-borderlands-2-release-no-brainer

You don't need a brain to predict a Borderlands sequel, but you do need one to live.

In an interview about Borderlands, the creative director for Gearbox said that a Borderlands 2 seemed like a no-brainer.

“Everyone here loves the franchise, and it seems like the public is really coming back with praise and love. So yeah, if everything makes sense, Borderlands 2 seems like a no-brainer to me.”

That’s what Mike Neumann said in an interview with VG247. He went on to say that it just makes sense to do a sequel, but they’re still working on DLC content for the original and it’s just watercooler talk at this point.

Borderlands DLC Priced and Dated

by Dylan Duarte on November 10, 2009 at 6:12 pm

TAKE THAT YOU UNDEAD PIECE OF GARBAGE

The first DLC installment for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 24th, exactly two weeks from today. It will cost $10 USD, meaning 800 MS points. Unfortunately, there is no set date for when the DLC will hit the PC.

And before you all cry “OH GOD MORE ZOMBIES C’MOOOOON,” let it be known that I love zombies and I will fight to the death to defend their honor.

Toejam and Earl May Not Be Coming to XBLA

by Dylan Duarte on November 9, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Which one is saying Jammin? I don't know who is who.

Remember that poll Sega ran a while back on which game everybody wanted to see come to Xbox Live Arcade? For a while it looked like Earthworm Jim would emerge the victor, but Toejam and Earl pulled out the win in the end. Unfortunately for those who voted for the funky space duo, that may not even happen. Read more…

Walmart Modern Warfare 2 Ad is Actually Funny

by Dylan Duarte on October 30, 2009 at 2:51 am

I hate most commercials, but I don’t hate this one, because it’s actually pretty good. I may think that just because it’s Modern Warfare 2, or it may be because it’s actually funny. Not crap-your-pants funny, but chuckle worthy, which is more than I can say about most commercials.

Borderlands TV Ad

Oh October, how I despise you and all of your delicious game releases. Having already sunk my money into Brutal Legend and pining for Uncharted 2, Borderlands is down there on my list, but it’s on my list all the same. Let’s all start taking bets on whether or not I’ll buy more than I can afford and overdraft my checking account.

Splinter Cell Gets 2010 Release Date

by Dylan Duarte on September 24, 2009 at 2:04 am

I'm irritated too, but calm down!

It was announced a while back that Splinter Cell: Conviction was being pushed back into 2010. Hell, it was announced last year that the game was being delayed until this year. But we’ve finally got a solid release date in February 23rd, 2010, so mark your calendars. Mark it with pencil, though, in case the game gets pushed back.

The God of War collection smashes onto the PS3 in less than two months featuring the full version of the first two games in the series. While that was enough to make me run out and preorder it (I actually powerwalked), the pot has just been sweetened: the collection will also come with a voucher to download the E3 God of War III demo. That’s right! There is a God. Of War. And he’s on his way.

50 Cent Lending Voice to Modern Warfare 2

Mothafuckin' P-I-M-P

I enjoyed 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand a lot more than I thought it would. On top of the ridiculously awesome premise, it was actually a pretty solid shooter. Now, that doesn’t mean I like 50 Cent and I want him anywhere near my Call of Duty. Unforunately, the damage has been done, and 50 Cent is indeed doing a voice in the upcoming shooter. Read more…
