Oh EA you sneaky bastard you. After Activision has announced Call of Duty: Black Ops, you announce the new Medal of Honor release date of October 12,2010. That’s one month before Black Ops launch date. I wonder if Activision has something to worry about? I loved Medal of Honor during the PSX and PS2 era, but got tired of the whole WWII saturated market afterwards. Now Medal of Honor is following Call of Duty’s lead and is ditching WWII for modern war.

“Medal of Honor is an authentic look into today’s war. Inspired by real people and real events, the game …

Sega has announced today that Obsidian’s espionage RPG, Alpha Protocol, has gone gold and is going to be released June 1, 2010. Obsidian was also the team behind the sequel to one of the best well-received Star Wars game ever, Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords. So this game should be very interesting.

As BioWare went on to create a new IP, Mass Effect, Obsidian has also gone the same route with Alpha Protocol. Instead of a sci-fi RPG, it’s focused on espionage RPG. Just imagine Metal Gear Solid as an RPG and you’ll start to get …

NBA Jam. The 16-bit game that brought me into the exciting world of the NBA. What other NBA game gave you the power to be “on fire” when you’re on a streak, or the ability to shoot the hoops as Bill Clinton?

I want to share with you a parody video about what happens when a guy gets an NBA Jam curse. Check the video below to find out.

So, is that Halo 3: ODST purchase finally paying off?  It’s been a long time coming, but my copy of ODST is now doing exactly what I purchased it for: Halo: Reach Beta access.

In this neighborhood, blue armor will get you killed

I’m sure that those who haven’t yet played the game are wondering what it plays like.  Is it like Halo 3, 2, or 1?  Well, it seems to me to be more like the first two, but it seems like the weapon balance is better than previous games.  I never felt like I was killing or being killed …

Mark your calendars for May 9th, because Nintendo will be unleashing what I think will be their ultimate Wii bundle. In addition to the Wii console, Nunchuk, Wii-mote and Wii Sports game, the bundle will include the Wii MotionPlus accessory and Wii Sports Resort game at no extra cost. The bundle’s retail price will still be $199.99 in the United States. Nintendo sure is smart to do this since the other companies are trying to cash in on the whole motion control craze this year with Sony’s Playstation Move and Microsoft’s Natal. But wait, there’s more, you can choose between having …

Issac Clarke is back and so are he’s deformed blood thirsty Necromorph friends in DEAD SPACE 2.  In 2009 I found myself at a lost after playing Resident Evil 5.  Everything I loved about the previous titles seemed absent from the new installment.  The bosses were not as cool  and over all it just wasn’t scary.  After talking to a friend of mine he lent me a copy of EA Red Shore’s DEAD SPACE and immediately I couldn’t put it down.  The graphics were amazing, the atmosphere was breathtaking, and the gameplay was genuinely frightening.  So you can imagine …

Oh Red Rings O’ Death, why must you haunt us. I’m positive many of you Xbox 360 owners have encountered this woeful occurrence. At the same time I’m certain that more than half of those said people have tried their own form of temporary homemade fix (i.e. towel trick) to counteract sending your box to Microsoft and be without a console for at least 2 weeks. Let’s not get into those of us that aren’t covered under the replacement plan and would have to shell out $99 for MS to fix our box. But alas, there is hope! There is a …
