Another video from the Fifa bank here. After my Goalkeeper video now comes Advance Defending. Looks promising, can’t wait to see all these things work together though.

Ed Harris and Gary Oldman to voice Black Ops

Deano — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:06:39 +0000

That’s right, these two “A” list movie starts have signed to give the voices to the cause. If you don’t know who these two are i have put there mug shots after the jump and a couple of the movies they have been in.

Firstly we have Garry Oldman

Recognise him?

I bet you do…featured in films such as Batman The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Hannibal and Air Force One.

Need i say more? Oh i will, he was in CoD WaW as Viktor Reznov. Suitable for the job? i think so.

Secondly we have Ed Harris again a big hitter in Hollywood

Featured in movies such as Apollo 13 and Enemy at the Gates and National Treasure.

Again need i say more?

At least we now know that the voice acting in CoD BO is top notch, now to worry about gameplay.

Mafia II DLC

Deano — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:56:10 +0000

So…Jimmy’s Vendetta is out. I have as i type purchased 1000ms points, so i will tell you how it goes. After my bitter disappointment with the main story line length, i hope this will make me feel better. High hopes once more.

More Uncharted?

Deano — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:16:43 +0000

Uncharted’s very own Emily Rose who plays Elena Fisher in the Naughty Dog series has hinted on twitter she is working on some more Uncharted. As of what we don’t know, although here’s what she said. “Landed in LALA land yesterday and already the schedule is a buzz…. filming my first Night show today 4 Haven then work on Uncharted.” Could be anything really so won’t speculate yet, I’ll let you lot do that.

Final Fantasy XIII going to Xbox

Deano — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:02:02 +0000

Now i can’t confirm nor deny this but the “rumor” that’s now true is that Final Fantasy XIII will be released for Xbox before the end of this year. Specifically December 16th 2010. Another nail in the coffin for cross platforming exclusives.

Killzone 3 Multiplayer Video

Deano — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:25:17 +0000

Personally i never liked the first game, don’t know why but i have to be honest as a game it looks aesthetically pleasing and from what i remember the script wasn’t all bad either. So on those points i have decided i would put this up as a main page video. Enjoy.

Modern Warfare Black Ops Gameplay..again

Yet another gameplay video, kind of just putting it up to show you as many aspects of the game possible. I really like the look of the missile you control.

Over a Decade in the Making – Duke Nukem Forever is a Reality!

damani_d — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:37:32 +0000

It’s time to remove the “dead tag” from Duke Nukem Forever. Gamers at the Penny Arcade Expo got their hands on the demo on Friday. So after twelve years (and counting) of delay and disappointment, it’s time to dust off the weapons, grab some bubble gum, and kick some alien ass.

Developer Gearbox Software is now spearheading the project – this after 3D Realm and Rockstar Games (who at one point purchased publishing rights) concluded their legal battle. This gave 3D Realm sole rights to the game, only to flip the game over to Randy Pitchford and crew over at Gearbox Software. Hardcore Duke Nukem 3D fans might recognize Randy’s name, why? That’s because he was hired in the 90’s to help develop Duke Nukem 3D. As 3D Realm started to get their feet wet with Duke Nukem Forever, Randy had already left the company, however always had an interest at heart for the first person shooter.

With Duke Nukem cardboard cut outs, and posters present at PAX, fans were beginning to wonder if the gun-touting, foul mouth, woman chasing, protagonist was finally back? Then Mr. Pitchford ended all speculation when he brought out the demo on Friday. According to Pitchford the game is pretty much complete and will include a multi player option – which is a must with today’s generation of gamers and rightfully so.

Given the fact, Duke Nukem Forever was first announced in 1997 as a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D. The finished version of the game will really need to deliver on a massive scale to succeed. Fans of the game have either moved onto other popular first person shooters or grown tired of promises and lost faith in the Duke Nukem brand itself. However judging from some of the reactions and comments from fans at PAX, I would say gamers are a forgiving bunch.

If the finished product can deliver similar options found in today’s first person shooters (rank up systems, various multi-player game modes etc) the game shouldn’t have a problem selling units. And let’s not forget Duke Nukem was a household name, the name alone can help capture an audience and make a ton of money.

A video showcasing the playable demo at the Penny Arcade Expo can be found below.

2K Games announced the game will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. In terms of a release date, expect the game to hit store shelves during some point in 2011.
