Crazy Japs! Crazy Nintendo! Crazy 3DS. What am I babbling on about – well have a look at the vid below if you really want to know. Its a 3DS commercial for some spooky 3DS game… Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir. The lil film is quite good and also quit long. Bit like ‘The Ring’ except its a 3DS that is the conduit of death not a video tape. Cant say it would entice me to get a 3DS or the Game, as I don’t want to die! Its well worth a watch to see others die as a result of playing the 3DS though. Kind of a funny advertising campaign eh. Boo!

Darksiders 2 – Death Lives Trailer – aka MEEEE!!!
They made another game with me in it! Little old me. Well, it was a fun shoot I must say and the royalties I’m due to get, wow – ya wouldn’t believe it! The chicks off set… hummina hummina!! When they ask if you like your candy licked their not talking about food! Was a much better experience than that Grim Fandango thing I did years ago and I cant say I’m impressed with how they edited me in Dante’s Inferno. This time its all about me. Me, Me, Me! Next stop is probably Hollywood, grab a few awards, rub shoulders with some famous actors and maybe hang out with a few pornstars, oh how the cocktail’s will flow… and you all get to play with me when Darksiders II is released – Lucky You. Wait, hang on… that didn’t come out right… when I say ‘play with me’ I didn’t mean… um.
How about a nice warm glass of SOPA – NO!!!
Pirates ahoy! It looks like the granny brigade are out again, this time its all a bit odd though. The ‘Motion Picture Association of America’ (MPAA) have a hard on for illegal material and want to stamp it out at any cost… the latest in a long line of ‘down with this sort of thing’ attempts by them on game and movie related content. You see the ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ or SOPA as it has become known is an attempt to stop online piracy. OK, we can debate the merits of Piracy another day but the important thing to note here is that this ‘Act’ also kills any freedom the Internet has, at least from an American standpoint – which is massively significant for the rest of the world. Its kind of like using a nuke to kill an ant hill, as the fallout of the attack will destroy the very things that you are trying to protect. When you see big hitters like Microsoft, Sony and EA to name but a few oppose this Act, then you know that its toxic as they would love nothing more than to stamp out piracy. The price is too high and it is their consensus that this Act would stifle freedom and ergo creativity for the industry at large, even Obama thinks this is a bad idea. Wikipedia, Reddit and Gamerillaz along with a bucket-load of other sites are shutting up shop for a 24 hour period as of 8am on the 18th of January (Tomorrow) as a protest – Reaper Gaming will be joining them. I think we should all do the same and protect the freedom of speech/online ability. Say it loud and say it proud – Fuck the MPAA!! It is unlikely that this Act will carry but we all still need to stand up and fight the power so we can bury this kind of oppressive mentality six feet under – Do it! If you want to know more about the in’s and out’s – check here.
GAMERILLAZ – New Site that Stole My Crew…
It’s mutiny I tells ya!! A bunch of ballbag Gorillas walked into Reaper Towers and started flashing the cash at my staff. They wanted my gang for a new gaming website – the cheek! I just knew my loyal crew would not desert me – boy was I wrong! They all ran out the door with their pockets stuffed full of dosh, even knocked me down and left foot prints on my back – Feckers. So now its just me sitting here in this cold castle, shivering, lonely and with no one to give me a foot rub. Needless to say I’m going to have to make a few changes to the site, so keep an eye out for that.
And what of these smelly Gorillas you ask? Well apparently they are from a new website called GAMERILLAZ. Whoop-de-do. I had a look at this ‘site’… its pretty good unfortunately and they seem to know their shit – stupid apes. I think they might have stolen a few of my ideas along with my team. I hope they are all very happy there together – NOT! They’ll be back, when they get sick of the big bucks, glamor and properly run setup – Oh they will be back! Damned dirty apes!!
In the meantime I might pop over to GAMERILLAZ to see if they need another hand to help out – Whaaa? I need the money! Check it out – but do come back after – GAMERILLAZ.com
Battlefield 3 – The Disapointment
Ya know what – Fuck you in the Ear Battlefield 3! Over the festive holidays I sat here in the tower all on my own playing Skyrim when I decided to take a lil break and go back to give the disappointing BF3 single player part of the game another try. I was in the mood for a bit of shooty- shooty, so I poured myself a lovely big vodka and red bull, got out a big bowl of crisps and settled in to put bullet holes into some dirty terrorists. All felt right with the world, a kind of zen. I loaded up the BF3 story disc on my Xbox and chose the campaign. Now, I had done this a few days before and had no problems – but not this time. I was told that the game could not connect with the EA servers and the game would not play… I was online and all the wires were in the right places and all that crap, even had my special code in there for the stupid online access – but I still could not get past this pop-up warning. WTF? Grrr!! Why should I have to be logged onto the EA server to play the single player? What if I had no Internet connection at all? Battlefield 3′s campaign mode is mundane enough and is far from addictive to begin with, giving little motivation to return at all, but then to be faced with this shit? I tried for a good twenty minutes to play the single player game but I always got the same bullshit warning before being returned to the main menu. Ironically I could play the online portion with no problem though. Seriously – If I buy a single player game I don’t want to be told I cannot play it because of ‘server’ issues. So again I say it – Fuck you in the Ear Battlefield 3 and a merry fucking Christmas EA – You ruined my night and sent me back to Skyrim! Why do they insist on making it more and more difficult to even want to play their games – Dumb-asses!
EA DLC: just taking the pi**
Its official EA are just taking the piss out of us now. They have launched some dlc for there “free” online game Need 4 Speed: World, while I can hear some of you going great and others groaning it gets better. They are releasing a single car “elite” pack which is the mighty Koenigsegg CCX. OK so that’s not so bad, its a bit stingy one car but that’s OK, what’s the cost? Now before reading any further please remove and objects from your mouth which may cause you to choke or any children that may be in the room who don’t want to learn a string of new expletives. Ready?
It’s one hundred dollars, that’s right its not a typo, for the privilege of having a Koenigsegg CCX in need for speed World, it will cost you one hundred dollars. Do EA want people to play ther games at all?
Thief 4 – It’s coming…
Thief 4 is coming in the next year or so. Not a lot to go on really, only that it exists! I was a big fan of the previous Thief games on the PC. The combo of stealth and sword fighting were the foundations for some of the great fantasy games today, such as Skyrim. The haunting scenery along with a mix of ghoulish and mechanical enemies made this a very unique game franchise which was arguably an influence for Bioshock. Story and plot were key with atmosphere just oozing from your computer screen. It was special! There is a whole generation who haven’t experienced the Thief magic, when I say to all you gaming pups that you are in for a treat, I’m not just blowing smoke up your butt-hole. If Thief 4 is half the game its predecessors were then prepare to be immersed in a true classic.
You can try and get sketchy bits of info by trolling through the forms of the official site here. Apart from that you will just have to keep an eye out for any updates we can bring you – a mechanical eye that is (in-joke for Thief nerds).
VGA 2011 Trailers
Now that the winners list is out of the way what about the really good stuff. The VGA’s are a good opportunity for developers to tease us with some new trailers of what we can expect to see. This year was no different and there are a few gems here.
Metal Gear Solid Rising “Revengeance” Trailer
Moving away from the cigarette smoking OAP Solid Snake, Konami have turned to cyborg ninja Raiden to lead the way in this new installment of the metal gear series. Platinum Games will develop the title so you know its going to be as mental as a box of frogs on a hot plate.
Epic Games “Fortnight” Trailer
Before the event chief designer at epic a Mr cliffyb said they had a new trailer for us to watch, and Fortnight is it. Judging by the trailer it appears that this is going to be some sort of scavenging / survival game. In theory it sounds good, but lots of things sound good in theory.
Command and Conquer Generals 2
“World leaders are mere seconds away from signing a peace treaty and bringing an end to a global war when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the conference, killing everyone in attendance, leaving only the world’s military superpowers in control. It’s up to you to assume their roles, take command of their forces and conquer global terrorism once and for all.”
So that’s the back drop for Command and Conquer Generals 2, and with Bioware developing this title using the Frostbite 2 engine, it could really be something special.
Mass Effect 3
Its Mass Effect 3 need we say anymore ?
Rainbow Six: Patriots
