Comments Off on Halo 3: ODST – I am actually starting to get excited about this

Halo may have been my main reason for getting the original Xbox but I haven’t been a big fan of the series since the second one felt just like the first and then the third never truly finished the fight. However what Halo offers that I have been missing is the ability to pick up and play at any time …

Comments Off on Bionic Commando: Rearmed Gets Trophy Patch

In the Wake of Capcom’s next-gen release of the popular Bionic Commando, some of you guys may not already know of Capcom’s remake of the original 2D platformer, entitled Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Its available on the PlayStation Network and has proved to be fairly popular thus far. Well if you’ve enjoyed the game so far then you’ll be happy to know that it gets even better with the new trophy patch. Check out the patch notes as well as the trophy list after the jump. New “Normal” difficulty setting changes… * When you die, you respawn at the last solid ground or checkpoint * The level Albatross B was cut * The ability to reel out the cable when hanging or swinging to its full length * If the player swings into a wall, they will no longer disconnect and be thrown away from the wall.

Standby football fans because I have just come across some new FIFA 10 screenshots for the PC version. If you know anything about English football then you will probably recognize the two teams as Chelsea and Arsenal. The new title is said to feature more responsive gameplay, more animations and a refined online multiplayer game. The title is said to be scheduled for release on October 2nd of this year. But enough banter, hit the jump to check out the screens, there's some good stuff.

Info & News: The Force Has Been Unleashed Even More

That's right Jedi Apprentices, LucasArts have confirmed that the Star Wars Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 by Christmas. The title will include the full version of the original game as well as three new levels and a full alternate story. Apparently two of the levels will be available as DLC whilst the other is exclusive to the Ultimate Sith Edition. Basically the alternate story follows Star Killer killing Darth Vader and becoming the Emperor's new Apprentice. Players will have to then visit planets like Tatooine, Coruscant and even the icy landscapes of Hoth to take on the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jabba The Hutt and even Boba Fett (the bounty hunter who was used to create the clone army). The best part of all is that there is another alternate story in this one that will send players on a mission to destroy the Rebellion and face Luke Skywalker. The original version has sold over six million copies since its release in September last year and has since been hailed as the fastest selling Star Wars game ever. Thus its understandable why Aspyr Media and LucasArts are also bringing the game to both PC and Apple Mac. I thoroughly enjoyed Force Unleashed especially for the story (yeah I'm a bit of a fanboy). I did however think that the action was a little too watered down and never quite felt the full force capability of Star Killer. It was still awesome though and I'm so getting this new edition. Until then (oh man I'm gonna say it) may the force be with you. Sorry but I couldn't help myself to some cheese.

MW2multiplayerAC130.jpg Knowing that the next Modern Warfare game was simply just "on the way" seems to have had an effect on my actual excitement for the game. It took looking at this newly revealed multiplayer trailer from Infinity Ward to remind me that I am in fact incredibly excited for this game and it's release date needs to get here faster. This specific trailer shows off a new multiplayer element that comes in the form of the AC130 Big-Ass-Mofo-Plane that can now be controlled by players to rain down some serious death from above. Check out the awesome-ness, posted after the jump. Be sure to catch the last little part of the trailer, it's a nice little humorous touch. [Thanks Poddle for the tip]

dantesinferno.jpg Apparently, 1UP brought back this video of the gameplay from Dante's Inferno after their visit to Comic-con. Visceral Games looks to have developed something really nice here. It looks pretty good but I question whether or not they're copying God Of War a little - ah screw it... I loved the GoW games and can't wait for the third installment so anything else that will keep me slashing things apart in a similar style will just put a smile on my face. Now go check out the video and let us know what you think. Go.. go now.
