Take a gander at this collection of screenshots allegedly from Halo Reach, at least until Bungie yells at me to take them down. They feature a bunch of new-ish guns for the uber-secret game, which appears to be what I would imagine Halo 4 would look like. But if that’s the case, why would they not just be calling it that? Also, the game is supposed to be using a new engine, for whatever reason, and it shows. If these are fake, they’re pretty damn well forged, I’ll say that much.
Check out the rest of the pictures below, while you still can.
I’m currently debating whether or not I should get Dragon Age this weekend, now that I’m done pummeling the crap out of raiders with my caustic revolver in Borderlands. This video isn’t exactly doing much to push me in that direction.
Has anyone who has played the game already tell me if this is an exception or the rule?
I’m not sure how they’re doing it, but every Call of Duty MWF2 trailer I see is somehow even more awesome than the previous one. This Eminem-scored launch trailer is no exception, and I have to say that… WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? A SPACE BATTLE? My word.
After watching that, I can already picture the “death level” in this Call of Duty which would be a sequel to the “you’re dying of nuclear radiation” segment found in the first game. You’re an astronaut working on that satellite that blows up. It launches you far out into space, and you spend the next ten minutes trying to propel yourself back to your ship to no avail. You slowly run out of air and die, drifting in space for all eternity.
And then you flash down to earth and are playing as someone else killing Russian terrorists on a snowmobile with an Uzi. F*** YEAH!
At long last (and I do mean long) my time with Borderlands has finally come to an end. Over the past two weeks, it’s become something of an obsession with my friends and I, with them coming over to put in a few solid hours worth of playing time every day, and me sneaking away from writing to play by myself with no one around.
I’ve sunk I’d say about 60 to 80 hours into the game over the past two weeks, and in my opinion, any game that holds my attention for over 30 is a success. So by that definition, yes Borderlands succeeds in being a good game, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t without a heaping helping of problems., some of which I’ve discussed in past journals, and some which are still to come.
I’m not sure what’s gotten in to CollegeHumor this week, but they’ve produced some excellent videos the past few days. Yesterday’s Sims Horror Movie had me laughing out loud, and today’s Zelda cartoon produced similar results. Gotta find those chickens!
I see a little bit of Seth MacFarlane in this, but maybe I’m imagining things.
There was something sort of interesting about NES box art. Because the graphics for Nintendo games were, relatively speaking, short of breathtaking, the box art would have to be that much more appealing. Sometimes the box art would looks completely different than the game’s graphics (like for Mega Man) and other times, would take the overall visual themes of the game and turn them into a pretty cool piece of artwork (like for Contra).
Box art for games today is a bit more refined, but what if the box art was presented in the retro style of an NES game? Some creative people have created some box art for modern games, and the result is pretty cool. Gamespy had shown a bunch of these creations in the past, so I tried my best to find examples separate from those. Enjoy the gallery after the jump.
It’s not every day someone writes a note to a car thief which contains not one, but two video game references. I’m not sure if the sorts of people who steal cars know what an Ocarina is, or who Gordon Freeman is, but the “crowbar to the face” message is certainly loud and clear, though it would be kind of a pain to actually camp behind a bunch of crates and wait for the car thief to come back and read your note.
