Nickolodeon Takes On The Major League


    Nickelodeon and 2K Games are teaming up to create a new nickelodeon character themed baseball game. Let me just say somthing: There are things in life you can combine and everything will work out great. This is not one of those games. I can already tell this game is going to suck. Combining cartoon characters and real life players might be fun for kids but we all know that kids these days like headshots and kill streaks, not home runs and stealing bases. The only kids that might be slightly interested are the ones into sports but we all know they'd rather play any other sports game then this one.
      Anyway the game isn't going to be like the Mario themed baseball, where all the teams have nintendo characters, the way the article made it sound like was this game had 1 team that was nickelodeon themed. And you get to play against the 30 real life Major League teams.This game sounds more like a DLC pack for a actual baseball game then just an actual game. But I checked and double check and various sources have said that this is an actual game coming out.
        But it's not all that bad. I'm sure you can still play as the various 30 teams available, and a few new stadiums have popped out with some exciting twists. I bet even the gamplay has a "bigs 2" feel to it. Any way the game is due to come out this summer and (if your kid is interested) you should go check it out.

MW3 SURVIVAL MODE!



        There's been lots of hype about the new game from Infinity Ward. Now, I'm sure anyone who is an actual gamer can say that they already know a lot about the gameplay. At MW3's E3 booth, gameplay was showed from the campaign showing a lot of things. One of them, and I have to say one of the things I'm most looking forward to, is the return of slo-mo Breach n' Clear entry. I mean come on, who doesn't love shooting the bad guys in SLOW MOTION?! Although, now that I've got that out of my system, I'm not to sure the campaign is going to be even half of all the hype. Looking at the gameplay and trailers, it looks exactly like MW2 with better graphics. I really hope they can bring something new to the game. In that light, lets look at the facts. Who even buys video games for the campaign anymore? The only reason I play the story is so I can get familiar with the guns before going into online and owning some noobs. What everyone is really looking forward to is the online modes. Infinity Ward has chosen to stay silent about the online modes. However, I have seen the gameplay trailer for the survival mode. I'm not sure if Infinity Ward was trying to be smart, or let out clues, or what, but in that trailer, there is a part when the gameplay is NOT of survival mode. There is a score in the bottom left corner, but no game mode title. There's also something flashing on the screen, that says "14 Point Streak - Juggernaught". What I want you all to notice is that it said POINT streak not KILL streak. That to me suggests a new game mode, where kills aren't as important. Speaking of survival, that's what interests me most about MW3. The new survival mode isn't as well known, but I'm sure everyone has heard of it. I'm not sure whether to be happy this is here or not. I was really hoping Infinity Ward would actually do zombies, but thats just me. Obviously this new survival mode features LIVE enemies, instead of the walking dead. That means they have guns, but it also means they die easier. A LOT easier. From the gameplay, and the amount of blood covering the screen, your character can also take a CRAPLOAD of damage so it seems like it will be amazing. All-in-all, I've already pre-ordered the game, and can't wait to get my hands on it and go at it.

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!

Today's Fun and Free post comes to us from the game makers over at Games Campus. 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).

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.

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:
