  • Killzone: Mercenary Trailer And Screenshots

    Killzone-3-wallpaper-1920x1080-b-618x347

    It looks like it is finally time for the Vita to get the quality shooter it needs and deserves. One of the main selling points of Sony’s handheld, besides the power under the hood, was the whole new world that was opened by having two analog sticks. But the Resistance and Call of Duty franchises have fallen flat on their face in the past year and failed to deliver the FPS experience that the Vita is built for. Killzone: Mercenary is looking to change that. Developed by Guerrilla Cambridge to bring the Killzone experience to our sweaty little palms.

    Killzone: Mercenary has you playing as…..wait for it….a mercenary in the midst of the Helghan/ISA war and will take place after the first Killzone. You can essentially play both sides since you will be taking jobs based on who pays you more. It appears the game will have a robust weapons list from which to spend said blood money.

    The game simply looks amazing. When the Vita was launched, this was the type of game you knew the system was capable of, it was just a matter of time before someone figured out how to harness the real horsepower. Just watching the trailer you could almost be fooled into thinking you are watching a PS3 trailer.

    Check out the video and screenshots below to see how great Killzone is looking so far.

    Killzone: Mercenary releases on September 17th.

    revolution-call-of-duty

  • Black Ops 2 Crosses 1 Billion Dollar Mark

    So I Am Assuming You Are Still Entertained?

    [amazon_link id=”B007XVTR5S” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Call of Duty: Black Ops 2[/amazon_link] continues on its record breaking pace and proves that it is not near any kind of decline.

    The newest game in the Call of Duty series has grossed 1 billion dollars in its first 15 days of release, one day faster than last year’s Modern Warfare 3. Every year people begin to wonder if this is the year that Call of Duty hits a saturation point and every year sales indicate that the military shooter is still the biggest gaming event of the year. Now we know this can’t last forever but who can blame Activision for riding this train for as long as they can.

    Activision Blizzard’s Bobby Kotick had this to say about sales of the newest Call of Duty.

    “The release of Call of Duty has been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years. Since Call of Duty was launched, cumulative franchise revenues from players around the world are greater than current worldwide box office receipts to date for the top-10 grossing films of 2012 combined. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for Harry Potter and Star Wars, the two most successful movie franchises of all time.”

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Sets Record

    If there was any doubt that Call of Duty is the undisputed biggest game in the world right now, then I have a few numbers for you.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 grossed over $500 million within its first 24 hours of being released. That is over double what Halo 4 made in its first day (Black Ops is multi-platform though) and is over $100 million more than Modern Warfare 3 made last year. The game is now the biggest entertainment release of the year.

    Not only that but Gamestop has reported that over 1 million copies of the game were sold at midnight launches around the country Monday night which would make it the biggest launch in the company’s history.

    Have you picked up your copy yet? Or are you on COD withdrawal?

  • Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Has A “Mighty” Easter Egg

    It seems there is a rather cool Easter egg awaiting players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. With just a little exploration you can find Mjolnir, hammer to the God of Thunder, Thor.

    The hammer is on the mission called Celerium. It is hidden away in a cave embedded in a chunk of rock. It appears that nothing can free the hammer but you never know what Treyarch may have in store . No word yet on any other Marvel items lurking about in the game but Black Ops 2 was just released yesterday.

    Take a look at the video walkthrough below to see how to find Mjolnir.

     

  • PC Version Of COD: Black Ops 2 May Have A “Mass”ive Mistake

    Let’s Hope You Have A Good Internet Connection.

    It seems that some PC owners are going a little bit farther in the future than they were promised with today’s launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

    Forums began getting reports this morning that some PC owners of the newest Call of Duty game were given a Mass Effect 2 disc for the second disc of the game. This disc art reads correctly but when installed into the users PC it said that the information on the disc was a copy of Mass Effect 2. That is not the kind of thing that people want to see especially on the release of the biggest game of the year.

    How many copies of Black Ops 2 that are affected by this are not yet known. Users with a Steam account can download the second disc info from the site so let’s hope they have a good internet connection or it may be a much longer wait to play Black Ops 2 than anticipated.

     

  • New Video Game Releases. November 13, 2012.

    Call Of Duty VS. Wonderbook. Pick A Winner!

    [amazon_link id=”B007XVTR3K” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Call of Duty: Black Ops 2[/amazon_link] (360, PS3) $59.99

    The biggest game of the year is here. Whether you like it or not, yearly COD’s are massive events that make Activision a metric s*** ton of money so until it hits a saturation point, get used to it. It’s Treyarch’s turn on Call of Duty and they are taking the franchise into the future (not too far don’t worry) for this sequel to 2010’s Black Ops. If you are buying this for the story then you are the 8% that should be applauded for still caring about stories in first person shooters.

    [amazon_link id=”B002I0H09Y” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified[/amazon_link] (Vita) $49.99

    This game has been in development for less than a year by a studio that has already released one bad shooter (Resistance) on the Vita and has already announced a name change and that they are getting out of console gaming, focusing on mobile games instead. Spend 50 bucks at your own risk.

    [amazon_link id=”B007MM9E42″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Epic Mickey 2; The Power of Two[/amazon_link] (360, PS3, Wii) $39.99-49.99

    Mickey is back and this time teams with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to try and stop the Mad Doctor who has returned to cause havoc on Wasteland again. The Playstation 3 version supports the Move but there is no Kinect function for the 360.

    [amazon_link id=”B0096QQDPK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Sony’s Wonderbook w/ Book of Spells[/amazon_link] (PS3) $79.99-Wonderbook Move Bundle $39.99- Wonderbook: Game of Spells- Game Only

    Honestly it’s best if I let a video explain what this is and let you decide. Parents of Harry Potter fans should definitely give this a look.

    [amazon_link id=”B008J16AHE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Hip Hop Dance Experience[/amazon_link] (360, Wii) $39.99

    Do you love Just Dance or Dance Central? Is there too much Bee Gees or Katy Perry in your game and not enough autotune? Does Ubisoft have a game for you!!

     

    Later this week we will have our Wii U release day blowout so be sure and check back for that and next week sees the return of Agent 47 and the Playstation characters go Smash Bros.

    Happy gaming!!!
