Horror Movie Character's New Role In Fighting Game's DLC

The Mortal Kombat crew has announced that the fourth character available in the new Mortal Kombat DLC. But sadly, the character is based on the newest "Nightmare On Elm Street", directed by Micheal Bay. Though most of us (if not all) would prefer the Wes Craven character, but you know, it's the Freddy Krueger that we all love (and fear).

This new character will be availble on August 9th, for $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points for you 360 folks)

The New Assassin's Creed "Film"

Another big announcement from Comic-Con. Ubisoft announced that there is a CGI short-film coming out about the Assassin's Creed series called Assassin's Creed: Embers. Not a lot of details but we know that It's due to come out around the same time as Assassin's Creed: Revelations and is actually going to be sold with  the special editions of the new game (Animus, Collector, and Signature Editions) there is a video below of the upcoming "film":

Star Wars Takes Over A New 360

Comic-Con is here! And I couldn't be any more excited because with Comic-Con comes awesome video games and special things made just for Comic-Con! Well here is something that caught my eye that I defiantly want. It's a special edition of the new Xbox 360. A Star Wars version to be precise. The makers of this awesome Creation said that it comes with the best hard drive available for the 360. And yes, it gets better. You also get a Kinect (not pictured, but it's just plain white, unlike the usual pitch black) with your purchase of this fabulous bundle. As you can (hopefully) see, the actual console features R2-D2 qualities, and is said to sound like R2 himself at times. And look at that controller! It's a C3-P0, and I want that controller A LOT. Anyway, wipe up the drool and go to your nearest Best Buy (or where ever else you can get it) and buy it for the hefty price of $449.99!

This game is for all of you MLB fans out there who hate spending 60$ on an amazing baseball game, because you don't have to any more. MLB dugout heroes is one of the best baseball games I have ever played. (and is the only free MLB computer game that I know of). This game has the same qualitys of any MLB game, it's just with cartoon graphics, which isnt really bothering at times. The game allows you to make your own team, using a major league team. (for example you can start any team but the your team is going to contain the players and postions of the major league of your choice) any way here a snapshot and video with a link to where you can download MLB dugout heroes. ( you need to create a Games Campus I.D before you download the game. Its free so your good).

The new Fleet Commander game plays on a 20 foot multi-LCD display:nugget from the net.

This seems to be the supreme of all of the strategy games so look out guys fleet commander will be delegating your way.

Michael Phelps Gets A Video Game?

That's right. The gold winning record breaking swimmer finally lands a video game role, but it's not a controller based game (think about it: a swimming controller game? who would wanna buy that?) it's actually a Kinect game. When I heard about this I got really excited. The swimming for the Wii (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games) was pretty fun but this will be a revolutionary game in the sports genre. I'm defiantly anticipating this game for the fact that I think that instead of shaking a remote to swim faster is a good idea, but actually having to do the arm motions that Michael Phelps has to do will turn out to be a really, really fun game.



Also, here is a gameplay video:

Annihalation Call Of Duty DLC

The "new" Black Ops map pack came out a bit ago, and features some of the best maps ever made for a Call Of Duty game. Some maps include: "Hanger 8", located in the very mysterious Area 51, "Drive In", a close quarters map that takes place in a 60's drive through, "Silo" which is on a soviet nuclear missile site, "Hazard", a cliff side golf course, and fight zombies in "Shangri-la" a mysterious shrine in the middle of a forest.

Team Fortress 2 For Free

The highly popular Team Fortress game that was first featured in the Orange Box game pack (along with Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal) is now available for free (and yes it's legal). The download allows you to play full on multiplayer, all brought to you by the official producers of the game. You can find the download Here. First, you need to download Steam and get an account and the game will be available there. 

Netflix Instant Streaming Introduced To The 3DS

        That's right Netflix and handheld Nintendo Lovers, Netflix, The world famous movie company that brings movies to your mailbox and instantly to your TV is teaming up with the game gurus at Nintendo to bring you instant streaming on the New 3DS. Its easy to do, and its highly reccomended you you get the free app. First off, you need to update the device (if not already done). You'll find the update in the settings tab. Once updated, go to the nintendo store (located in the main menu of your 3DS) andget  the Netflix app. When you first go access the app, you'll get an access code that you have to enter on Netflix. It's good to go through all this because it, for one, connects you to your Netflix, and also, also dosen't make you have to re-enter your information every time you want to use the app....but this is a downside if you share a 3DS with some friends who all have seperate accounts, you have to type in the code everytime you switch accounts (and logging off is the really hard to accomplish) but overall I think the hastle is worth it because who dosent like watching movies wherever you like? (provided there is a WiFi source). Anyway if you are a proud Nintendo 3DS owner this is a must have app.

3D Gaming - 3D Glasses = Nintendo 3DS

First we had the original DS, you know the fat no backlight, kinda crappy DS. Then there was the DS Lite, which revolutionized gaming. Then the DSi which slapped competitors in the face because of the new camera ad ons. Now the 3DS, that allows you to game in 3D without the uncomfortable glasses. Now at first I was skeptical, I was thinking to my self, "How is high quality 3D gaming possible without the use of 3D glasses?" let me explain somthing to you. It is. The DS isnt like the old crappy red and blue 3D quality. The small devices actually gives out RealD 3D quality gaming. its really nice to becuase you dont have to always play in third-deminsion (in case it hurts your eyes) Nintendo had the brilliant idea to have a switch which lets you choose how much 3D you want or dont want. Also that awesome app store introduced to the DSi? It didnt go anywhere. Its still included on the 3DS. So save up and go buy your self this $250 amazing gaming machine at GameStop.

Windows 8 To Play 360 Games?

There is a big rumor floating around that the next Microsoft computer upgrade might play Xbox 360 games, an article on Teknylate states. But when (or if) you read the article, something seems wrong with it. To me it seems like there isn't enough details to prove that it is true. The author even states that some of the article was logical theories (I know right?), and he said he got his informaton from Insideris, who got their "information" from some un-named "sources". To me this all seems a little suspicious. There isnt enough proof from any of the articles to prove that this is a true statement. The only way we will find out is if Microsoft confirms this rumor or someone actually plays a 360 game on Windows 8. I guess we will have to wait and see.

New Mod For C.O.D 4 Takes You To A Galaxy Far, Far, Away.

For all of you who still have an "old" copy of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare, you might want to check this out. Black Monkeys is a big Mod-ing community, and this is one of their biggest (and best) Mods ever. Black Monkey took all the fun of Star Wars Battlefront, and put the awesome gun action of Call Of Duty and made Star Wars : Galactic Warfare. All of the guns are completley from Star Wars, and you are either A Rebel or A StormTrooper. Here's a video:

EA Buys Small Time PopCap Games

Big time  EA purchased the small time game company PopCap. PopCap developed a few popular games  like; Plants Vs. Zombies and Bejeweled. Now the surprising thing isn't the fact that EA purchased PopCap, that was actually a really good move, judging on the success on their games. What's surprising is how much EA gave to PopCap. EA gave PopCap $650 million dollars in cash, and over $100 million dollars in stock, though some sources state differently. Sources say that the deal could "One-Up" the EA Bioware purchase. EA purchased Bioware (games include the Dragon Age and Mass Effect Series) for $860 million. Anyway PopCap CEO David Roberts states that PopCap picked EA because of their ability to make great games (to simplify). Is this EA's move to take over the gaming industry? 

Bioshock Goes Portable?

    

    Yet  another big announcement from E3....... Irrational Games Kevin Levine announced at Sony's Press Conference that the famous thriller series Bioshock is coming to the new Playstation Vita (our article on PS Vita  Here) Levine states that "It's a different project; It's being built from the ground up.", and "... if I'm just saying 'here's Bioshock 1 on Vita', that's something we could potentially do, but you don't need us to do that. Someone else can do that." Levine wasn't up for talking about specifics, all we know is its going to live up to the hardcore feel of the Bioshock series. Oh and another thing: A future Bioshock title will be motion compatible.....defiantly for the Playstation.....what about Kinect?

Kinect Brings Out The Fun Labs

   A  little bit ago, at E3, Xbox and the geniuses that developed the now loved Kinect, revealed a free (to gold members) "game" center focused entirely on the Kinect. Well the night I heard about it I jumped on my Kinect, waited an hour or so for the actual Fun Lab Xbox app to download, and then had to wait another half an hour for the Bobble Head "game" to download. I don't know if it was my Internet or if the download is usually that slow (post a comment about generally how long your download took).Finally the bar hit 100% my mind was going crazy thinking about how fun it would be to make your own bobble head, because at E3, they made it look like a REALLY big deal. The results? It sucked. A lot. It took the Kinect forever to find my body (if I moved at all the Kinect would scold me for moving too much) after a painstaking five minutes the kinect finally produced a very weird bobble head of me. It didn't even live up to the standards. One, my face had a weird blueish tint around my mouth (anyone else have this problem) and on stage, the presenter had full interactivity with the bobblehead, they could punch it and the head would bobble back and forth.....not true. I tried all of this and it just acted like I was trying to get away from  Kinect Fun Labs and trust me, I kinda was. Anyway I'm not completely dissing kinect fun labs....I'm just saying my experience with it wasn't that fun....but Xbox promised more Apps and Games headed for Kinect Fun Labs very soon.
