Ninja Blade Coming Soon on Xbox 360
I came across the trailer for Ninja Blade and I have to confess that I think it looks pretty good (even though the graphics are a little cheesy at times). The game is set in modern-day Tokyo where parasites have wreaked havoc on the city – these “alpha-worms” are rapidly destroying humans and it’s up to you and your skilled team to save mankind. Before I go any further, I want to commend the game… More »
Final Fantasy XIII Trailer – English Subtitles
Have you seen this new trailer for Final Fantasy XIII. It looks pretty good so far. It doesn’t have a firm release date but it is expected to come out some time this year. As such, there aren’t a lot of details available about the game but it is a big deal that it’s coming to Xbox 360. I’m hoping that it stays true to delivering the excellent storylines that have been associated with most of the earlier FF games. … More »
Get Free Foot Pedal with Pre-order of Guitar Hero Metallica
I was over on Metal Martyr and I spotted a post about a promotional deal on Gamestop.com and I thought you might be interested. Right now, if you pre-order Guitar Hero: Metallica, you will receive a free bonus foot pedal which would allow you to play double bass. The deal also includes a splitter which will allow you to use two pedals simultaneously with the drum kit. How cool is that? Like Scott from Metal Martyr, I was… More »
Skate 2 Available Today on Xbox 360
Skate 2 is the continuation of, you guessed it – Skate (2007). Even though it’s been less than two years in the real world, five years are supposed to have passed in the game. San Vanelona was destroyed after “the disaster-too-gnarly-to-be-named." Mongocorp (some made-up company) is building “New San Vanelona” but before you get too excited, they’ve pretty much killed the skate population by being overprotective with their private property. Guess what your role is going to be? … More »
Order X-Blades on Xbox 360, Get Free Shirt
X-Blades comes out on Xbox 360 on February 10, 2009 but if you pre-order a copy through GameStop.com, you will get a free X-Blades T-shirt. If you order online, it will be shipped with your game but if you go in person, the shirt will be available when you pick up your game. The game, itself, is not really my thing and the trailer does nothing to really change that but I think fans of the… More »
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest on Xbox 360
Return to Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings: Conquest where, as a player, you can choose whether you will serve good or evil. The game has a lot to offer allowing players to choose from eight epic battles from the films as the hero or nine campaigns for the evil side. Wow! You will get to answer the question: "What if Sauron stopped Frodo from destroying the One Ring?" As a fan of the trilogy, I’ve always… More »
Ghostbusters Gets a Release Date for Xbox 360
Yahoo is reporting that Ghostbusters: The Video Game has an official release date!!! Sony Pictures is planning to release the game along with the Blu-ray version of the original film on June 16, 2009 (June 19 in Europe). It’s also the 25th anniversary of Ghostbusters – what better way to celebrate?! I know the movies are corny but I don’t care. I really liked them and it’s hard for me to resist when they come on late-night television. … More »
2009 Xbox 360 Games Preview
Happy New Year!!! 2009 is underway and what better way to celebrate than to look ahead at what games are going to be released this year. On this extensive list, there are some things that I’m excited about (from Street Fighter IV to the more corny Ghostbusters: The Video Game) and then there are things that I think are lame (Saw: The Video Game, for example). Take a look at this list and tell me what you think!… More »
Afro Samurai Coming Soon on Xbox 360
The Afro Samurai video game is based on the Japanese manga series starring Samuel L. Jackson. I’ve seen the show on Spike TV but it’s just never appealed to me, to be honest. I’m not sure I would be a fan of the video game either but I have to admit that the trailer looks interesting. I love how they captured the animation/drawing style of the original show. I don’t know if Sam Jackson will be lending his… More »
The Godfather II on Xbox 360 Coming February 2009
In February 2009, The Godfather II, will be released on Xbox 360 and, to be very honest, I’ve got mixed feelings about this. I can understand why so many people would want to play these games but I’m torn between being a gamer and being a movie lover. The Godfather series was a masterpiece by Francis Ford Copolla and I don’t know if I like the idea of them continuing on in video game format. Anyway, in the grand scheme… More »
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Demo
I don’t know how it’s possible but I only heard about this game a few days ago. In just three days, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will be released and I can’t wait! Who thought of this combination?! It’s insane! There are some new features that I think are pretty outstanding and seem totally appropriate given the nature of the DC Comics characters. Players will be able to engaged in "close combat" which means that you can pull… More »
NCAA Basketball 09 Hits Stores December 2, 2008
I love sports but I must admit that I do not normally play basketball video games (I typically stick to hockey). However, this game, NCAA Basketball 09, which is being released just in time for the holidays, looks like something I’d be willing to try. I love the fact that the player goes through an authentic process from being in a Division 1 team to receiving scouting reports. You can even choose a pre-game strategy to control the… More »
