BF: Bad Company is aiming to launch a PS3 exclusive beta starting just before its March 4 release date.  The game was set for a release of this holiday season, but following the lead of many other games, jumped to quarter 1 2010 to avoid the massive releases of MW2, L4D2, Dragon Age and Assassins Creed.



The game really seems to be coming together nicely.  A lot of the complaints are being addressed from the first game.  Dice has just started releasing the latest "episodes" of there brand new B...

The Turtle Beach X1 is one of two in the wired line up made exclusively for the Xbox 360 by Turtle Beach there are also two wireless versions one which comes with Dolby 7.1 surround sound. I recently picked up a pair of these from the local Best Buy and was a little skeptical at first, i have heard good thing about them but was not sure if i would like them compared to my TV's standard speakers.


The first thing I noticed and was happy about right out of the package was the cord, it is 16 feet ...

Some comparison screen shots have come out showing stills of the game running on both systems.  The picture I found that shows the biggest difference is a snow scene that we all first saw at E3.  The PS3 version doesn't look near as sharp as the Xbox 360 version.  But the scene looks like it could be snowing.  Which would mean the Xbox version would be the less accurate version.  Guess will find out soon when the game ships.



You can defiantly see a difference between the systems though.  It is...

While a large amount of people are getting ready for the launch tomorrow at midnight, i am sure some of the masses are less excited than they once were over the news of Infinity Ward stripping some of the most common PC elements from the game.



While the Xbox 360 crowd is still scratching their heads about Infinity Wards decision to remove Voice Chat, The PC players are getting a little shell shock at Infinity Wards newest antics.

Some of the newest announcements made by Infinity Ward were the f...

Day 1

So I picked up Brutal Legend from Block Buster on Rocktober 13th.  Day 1.  I was pretty impressed that I was able to get it so easily.  I hope this doesn't point to slower sales or just lower sales for this delightful game.



So I played for about 3-4 hours last night.  For the most, I really enjoyed everything the game had to offer.  I love the charm of Eddie Riggs.  Jack Black does a great job bringing this character to life.  Every line is delivered with such a degree of honesty and a gr...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the newest game from company Naughty Dog.  Now if most of you remember, Naughty Dog are the guys who brought us Crash Bandicoot way back on the PSX.  Now jump forward 10 years, and they released Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.  Among Thieves picks up practically right where Drake's Fortune left off.  You play as Nathan Drake, a young, charismatic treasure hunter.  I like to think of him as more like an American James Bond.



To start off, the controls, are just like the...

The event kicked off yesterday day with some pretty exciting matches.  5th place Carbon took on 10th place The Influence.  The series was pretty exciting with the first 2 matches just being run by Carbon.  Match 3 though The Influence woke up and they actually took the lead on this Oddball Heretic game.  With just a few seconds left on the clock, newest member Naded got the exact amount of time needed to tie the game at 204 seconds.  This is the 2nd Oddball tie in MLG history.  Since there wa...

Valve Software is reporting that they have sold almost 4x more pre-orders of there controversial sequel than the first installment of the series had.  This news comes as almost a shock as the highly publicized L4D2 boycott just wrapped up a few weeks ago.  Perhaps the boycott just brought more eyeballs to L4D2 and its awesomeness or the fact that the game is a proven franchise now.

Chet Faliszek of Valve software told CVG

"As we get closer to launch we see the reaction to the demo, pre-orders ...

When i think of Left 4 Dead 2 i think of a few things... fun, mayhem, tanks, and now most recently from Zombieland the "double tap".

This new TV Spot from Valve is really getting me wishing for a zombie apocalypse, but until that happens L4D2 will have to do and i can hardly contain the excitement.

"Gotta enjoy the little things."

The first screens for the super secretive Halo: Reach were leaked earlier today. NeoGaf forum poster Dani uploaded 6 blurry photos of the upcoming game.  The images show a couple of the new and modified weapons for the game as well as a brand new HUD showing off what seems to be health of your squad members.  Could the next installment of the Halo series be a squad based shooter?

The screen shots look extremely real even while being blurry.  While this could be an elaborate hoax they do appear...
