Report: Lucasfilm announces, “Star Wars 1313” video game…

Leave a comment

Yesterday, Lucasfilm revealed some news about an upcoming new Star Wars video game, titled, “1313”, coming soon to your video game consoles. They didn’t say what consoles the game is going to be available on, probably all of them I would think. They also revealed an exclusive screen shot of the game, pictured above. The game is supposed to target the longtime fans of, Star Wars, not the new fans. The game takes place on the planet Coruscant, and I believe you play a bounty hunter in it.

Hopefully this game will be much better than the “Force Unleashed”, series. I did like, “The Force Unleashed”, series, but they were too short and easy. Hopefully, “1313” will be a long game and hopefully, it’ll be challenging to play too.

See the game’s official facebook, here.

“Batman: Arkham City”, the release date have been announced today. The game will hit stores in the US, on Oct. 18th of this year.

Can’t wait! The first one, “Arkham Asylum” was very impressive, probably the best Batman game ever made, so far. I’m sure the next one will be even better, so looking forward to playing the next one. I will buy the next game as well.

Report: “Dead Island” video game to become a live action film…

Leave a comment

The controversial video game trailer, “Dead Island” which is a zombie apocalypse first person shooter video game and also a role playing game, hit the web last Thursday and the trailer already became a huge internet sensation. The game quickly became the most anticipated game for this year.

The trailer just hit the web a few days ago, and the game haven’t even came out yet, already, Sean Daniels and Union Entertainment are quickly gearing up for a live action movie adaptation for the big screen. The company’s already acquired the rights to the film years ago. There is no script and no director yet, they still need to get together talent packages and story lines to get a screen deal.

See the report here at, Deadline.

After the popularity of the Walking Dead TV series, prepare for more zombies in the entertainment business. That’s okay though. I’m more of a huge fan of zombies than vampires and werewolves. Zombies are my favorite monsters.

I saw the game trailer to “Dead Island” too, and I immediately became sold myself, so I will definitely pick up the game when it comes out later this year. The game looks like a blast to play.

RIP: Guitar Hero 2005 – 2011

Leave a comment

Activision, the makers of the popular video game franchise, “Guitar Hero” announced the shocking news today that they have officially killed, the “Guitar Hero” franchise. The very first “Guitar Hero” game made it’s debut in 2005 for the Playstation 2. The game became an instant hit, they’ve made 5 more Guitar Hero games after that. They also made stand alone, “Guitar Hero” games where famous artists got their own game such as: Metallica, Aerosmith, and Van Halen. There was also “DJ Hero” and “DJ Hero 2”. “Guitar Hero” have been making the news for years and the games goal was that they were hoping that kids would be inspired to pick up a real guitar. Guitar legend, Slash, have always been a huge part of the game, being a character in “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”. The reason for retiring all “Guitar Hero” projects is because of low video game sales, plus they want to move on to better opportunities and other projects.

Read more on the story, here.

I only own three Guitar Hero games. “Guitar Hero III”, “Guitar Hero: Metallica” and “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith”. I used to think Guitar Hero was cool but got tired of it fast. Ah well, at least the video game industry still have the Rock Band franchise, so I’m sure the Rock Band company is happy, more sales for them. Maybe this will get kids to pick up a real guitar now.

Leave a comment

3D Realms president, George Broussard, was the first to announce this huge breaking news on his official twitter page that “Duke Nukem: Forever” will finally be hitting all game consoles including the PC in 2011. This is the huge news story today that is spreading the world wide web very quickly.

I for one, am getting real excited for this game because, I am such a huge Duke Nukem fan. Used to play the original “Duke Nukem 3D” on the PC for hours when I was a young kid.

Yes, “Duke Nukem Forever” will stay true to it’s classic first person shooter. Fighting monsters, sexy women and all that stuff. Only difference is, better graphics and music of course. This is very exciting that Duke is returning. It’s about time too!

“Naughty Bear” the next controversial game?

Leave a comment

There have been several controversial games over the years in the video gaming world. Games such as “Wolfenstein 3-D”, “Grand Theft Auto IV”, “Resident Evil 5”, “Heavy Rain” and next here comes a game called, “Naughty Bear”. “Naughty Bear” seems to be the next game creating controversy online. Why is it controversial? Because the game is set like a children’s nursery rhyme, like in a children’s book. Instead, there is a teddy bear as you see in the picture above which who you play in the game, is a psychotic killer bear.

The game tells a story about a brown bear which is nicknamed, Naughty Bear, who is bullied by other bears on an island. Naughty Bear wasn’t invited to a birthday party, ’cause other bears thought he was too naughty. So the Naughty Bear turns into a murdering psychopath by murdering other bears. Does this mean we get to play this bear and kill other bears in the game? Yes, that’s the point of it.

According to the Best Buy website the game comes out, June 15th, available for the Xbox360/PS3. In a couple of weeks. I’ll probably get it.

Report: Grand Theft Auto controversy doesn’t seem to want to end, video game comes out of the closet?

Leave a comment

Rockstar games, announce the release of another Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable and payable chapter for Xbox 360 only. The chapter is titled, “The Ballad Of Gay Tony”. It’s about a nightclub owner named Tony Prince with a nickname of “Gay Tony” in the game, but it is not yet known if the character is homosexual.

More on it here:

http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/05/gtaiv-gay-tony.html

Does this mean that Grand Theft Auto V will experiment with homosexuality in crime for the next installment of the game? It wouldn’t surprise me if it will, since homosexuality has been so huge in the mainstream these days. The GTA series are always trying something different in every game.

“Grand Theft Auto IV” was a pretty good game, only thing I don’t like about it, was that it was too easy to beat. There were only like one or two difficult missions to get by, that was it.

If Rockstar does a 5th GTA game, they should bring the Niko Bellic character back ’cause he is such a badass video game character and one of the bests created.
