Battlefield 3: Caspian Border
Video of the Day. Battlefield 3: Caspian Border Gameplay. Need I say more? The game will be available on October 25, 2011. Awesome. Time to start another countdown counter. Check YouTube for more videos and coverage from GamesCom 2011 (August 17-21).
Space Invaders Movie
The rumors are true. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) and Gigi Pritzker have secured the rights to develop the "Space Invaders" movie. Yes, I am referring to the 70's old school arcade video game. What next? How about Centipede, Dig Dug 3D, or a Pac-Man Trilogy?
Throw Em Up!
Have you seen, heard, or played Xbox Dance Central for Kinect? It is crazy fun for all ages! I just had a thought, how about a Dance Central mashup game with DJ Hero-like mixing and a dance editor for advanced players?
No expansion packs or premium online content, I am referring to user-generated music and dance moves. I would drop the Old Skool Rapper's Delight track and pair it with Sum Yum's "Milkman" dance. High score bitches!
Project Beachhead
It is no secret that Activision has kicked Guitar Hero to the curb, but did you know about Beachhead Studios? I missed the announcement. Apparently, Beachhead Studios will focus on creating online content for Call of Duty. Read the snippet below.
The studio will focus "on the delivery, digitally, of new, innovative Call of Duty content and services will enable tens of millions of players around the world to continue to enjoy the experience that Call of Duty offers."
What the hell does that mean? Sounds like marketing non-sense to me. Hmm, let me take a guess. [pause]
Guitar Hero Dead
Listen up Guitar Hero fan boys and girls! Activision has kicked the franchise to the curb, so consider the game dead. I knew Guitar Hero (and Rock Band) were going to get played out; it was only a matter of time. Thanks for the fun Guitar Hero, see you around.
"Due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing's Guitar Hero business unit and discontinue development on its Guitar Hero game for 2011"
Guitar Heroine III
I forgot to publish this last week, so here it is. Check out Annie 'Ecstacy' Leung setting the World Record on Guitar Hero 3. She achieved the highest score for a single track on Guitar Hero 3 - Female category. What was her high score? 789,349 points. Nice!
Black Ops Reviews
Here they come. Call of Duty: Black Ops reviews are sprouting up all over the place. G4 has posted a nice review with video clips. What does G4 think of the game? They score it 5/5. I have not played the game yet, but will try to post a mini review soon.
Hmm. Now that I think about it, do not count on it. Work always screws up the plans. I still owe readers my exclusive Wassup Jose review of Paranormal Activity 2, but that will have to wait too.
Black Ops Is Here
Do I really need to tell you that Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released at 12:01 a.m.? Nope, because Call of Duty fanboys are all over it. I am publishing another quickie post, because I have to run and pick up my pre-order. Later dudes and dudettes.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3
If you are a Marvel vs. Capcom fan, check out the latest Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds trailers and gameplay videos on YouTube. The game will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next spring. Mark your calendars or pre-order your copies now.
Reach Pre-Order
If you are a Halo fan and have not pre-ordered your copy of Reach, go to Walmart.com and pre-order your copy. If you are looking for the Limited Edition or Bundle, Walmart has them in stock. Better yet, you can score a $20 eGift Card on select Halo Reach purchases. Nice.
