SuperHighResolution has gone crazy for Alan Wake. Both Mutter and Trev weigh in on the dark psychological thriller. Was the game worth the wait? Does Mutter run on and on? Can Trev make it through a review without screwing with MLG? Click below to find out!
No Dethklok game? Brutal.
In a move that would likely be described as “The Most Brutal Game Cancellation EVER” by Nathan Explosion, Joystiq is reporting that the Metalocalypse: Dethgame has been… well, killed. Over a year late, it’s not that surprising that the license got yanked away from the developer. Too bad. I would have loved beating a briefcase full of guts over someone’s head. It would have been brutal.
Is it ironic when a TV is watching a person? Just throwing that out there.
Well, due to my final push to max out pointlessly on Modern Warfare 2 after 3 “rage retirements“, I completely forgot that this add-on was being released. If you purchased Alan Wake you should have a token available for a free download of the Special Episode 1, which continues the story immediately after episode 6.
If you enjoyed the game, you’ll find plenty more to enjoy here. Full of dialog, cinematic events, and even another music track, the episode is just as lengthy and well-paced as any of the game’s original episodes. I was expecting a half-assed re-cropping of earlier levels, but instead got surprised around every corner, as terrified as ever of the fate of Alan Wake. I won’t spoil any of the narrative, but it needs to be said: The ending is a gripping as ever, and now we have to wait to see the plot continue.You just have to make it through one incredibly bad Verizon pun at the beginning, and one more glaring shot of how amazing their phones are. Get this add-on, and enjoy! (For renters or tokenless folk, I believe the cost is 500 MS points or so, so there’s no excuse.)

After 100′s of hours of research, I’ve come up with this handy pie chart. I think you’ll find it’s quite accurate. Carry on.
Made right here if you feel like making your own.
Addictionz
Ah, Puzzle Quest. The ridiculously addicting original is still a top 5 favorite XBLA title of mine, so when the sequel was released, I immediately had to play it. (Galactrix doesn’t count, because it sucked.)
Read on to see how PQ2 lives up to it’s predecessor.
Hasta la Bye Bye
Well, that just sucks. After months of no news, the bad news came out today: 1 vs 100, Microsoft’s foray in to massive multiplayer Xbox Live trivia, is no more. No more live shows, no more canned “extended play” shows, no more anything. It’s hard to understand the decision, since Microsoft touted that over 100,000 were online playing the game simultaneously during the beta. Perhaps it was too expensive to maintain? Too difficult to produce? We’ll probably never know. But I know that I’ll never forget my experience in the mob, and the great times and competition in the game.
Projection of a retro 40's Russian film explaining the game's environment. Hmmmm.
Wow. I was starting to think Activision was becoming a money hungry, shit shoveling monopoly. Then they publish another title from Raven Software, who are the brilliant minds behind Prototype. Click the jump to hear how amazingly original this game is, and why you should reserve your copy right now!
I think this should be in CoD too. The oh-so-annoying vuvuzela that blares during the “once every four years people suddenly watch soccer” World Cup could do some serious damage.
I’m too lazy to figure out why the youtube imbed doesn’t fit, so hit the jump for a quick fix. It’s safe for work, technically.
Recycled game with horrendous multiplayer tacked-on. (Sorry, I had to drop a few words to make it a phrase. I guess in the parentheses I can fit in a few more. This game is strictly rental only, even if you can snag it on Amazon for cheap. The technical name of this game should be: Bioshock: The Expansion Pack. You get about 6 hours of gameplay and broken multiplayer for 60 bucks. Nice job.)
Thank you, and happy E3 speculation.
