Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Announced!

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:30:00 +0000

Nope, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, nor is this a dream. Uncharted 3 is officially announced! When I read the headline I was just shocked, but turns out it is true, and all our dreams are coming true! I guess Christmas really is a magical time!

You still play as Drake, this time searching for the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands" with your old pal Victor "Sully" Sullivan. You both set off to the Arabian desert, where a terrible accident happens, transforming this quest to a long, hard road of survival, where Drake faces his deepest fears. I wonder what those are.

And finally, multiplayer will return, with more "extra features" that we will know more about later I guess. Oh, and one more thing, Uncharted 3 will feature Stereoscopic 3D! That's right, not only will there be awesome explosions, but there will be awesome explosions in 3D! Imagine that!

Well, to wrap things up, why not watch this trailer:

Tell me what you think and check out this new competition while you're at it!

Christmas Wishlist Competition

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 19:41:00 +0000

Well, as you all know, Christmas is coming soon and you need to get your gaming wishlists ready! Well, I will post my top 10 most wanted gaming-related items, but this time, with a twist. I will give hints, some hard ones and some easy ones, and you're going to have to guess the item. The person that guesses the most items wins first wins a mention on my blog, twitter account AND Facebook page . I will mention any name you want or any link you want me to mention (I will be checking the links first). Well, here we go (Remember, guess the game, not the character):

#10: I have been loved and cherished by many, I was found in a beautiful city,
        People can't stop playing with me, making this huge city shitty!

#9: I am found in a great game, where prisoners have gone wild,
      I remind a crusader of his past, back when he was a child.

#8: I am lost, in this big wide world, it never seems to come to an end,
      And when I finally complete a stage, others just come from users' hands.

#7: I just saved my wife and son, but then came a big surprise,
      A creature came close and soon I would go on another quest in a blood-filled paradise (well not exactly a paradise)

#6: Alive I was left for dead, but then came my luck and my life had been saved.
      But what I knew as I was cured by a doc was that whatever lies ahead, I knew I was fucked!

#5: I am always happy, whatever the case,
     Dress me as a clown, or punch my little face

#4: Feeling wild? don't know how to start the party?
      Then buy me and you'll know what starting the party really means.

#3: Oh my god! I'm gonna KILL YOU!
      And it's not going to be fast, it's gonna be GRUESOME!

#2: Well, I'm not found in a video game, but in here it's CRAZY!
      I just keep bouncing off the walls, the vibration is KILLING ME!

#1: Well, I'm finally here, on the list and in the real world
      You've been waiting for me, and HERE I AM!

Killzone 3: A Feature We Begged for in Killzone 2

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 11:23:00 +0000

It has just been announced that the much-anticipated Killzone 3 will feature split-screen multiplayer. If you're a Killzone fan you might have noticed that Killzone 2,unfortunately, did not have split-screen multiplayer. But that is all in the past. Killzone 3 is looking better every second, and I can't wait to try it out and to render my friends to ashes. Can you?

Should You Buy All the GT5 Crap?

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:52:00 +0000

You guys probably heard that GT5 is being judged based on the really minor glitches and bad details the game has, and reviewers aren't looking at the game as a whole but just looking at the bad parts of the game.

If you don't know what Gran Turismo 5 is, go look it up and continue reading, because you really should know what it is. Anyway, as I was saying, GT5 is getting really modest review scores like 8/10 and 4/5, but does it deserve these scores? NO, it deserves much, much better scores! Have you ever seen a racing game do so much? The countless cars, the incredible tracks, the huge variety of gameplay!

You get more than 1000 cars, 200 of which are premium cars, which are cars that are designed with incredible detail and support cockpit view for the first time in a GT game. But the game is criticized by the lack of detail in standard cars. Well, look at other racing game cars, then at GT's standard cars. See the difference? The standard cars are definitely good looking, but compared to the premium cars, people find a huge difference.

Also you get a lot of variety in gameplay like Karting and Rally aside from the incredible damage system later on in the game. And with an incredible multiplayer mode that just can't get any better, this is definitely the Racing Sim of all time! Buy it or miss out on an massive, incredible game.

Black Ops Kicks Ass

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 11:12:00 +0000

I'm sure most of you have bought one of the most anticipated games this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Well, I bought it too and I have to say, the Modern Warfare 2 killer is here! First off let's start with the single player campaign. Sure, when we first played Modern Warfare 1, we loved the campaign, it was something new and intriguing. But with the release of MW2, things just got repetitive. And that's where Black Ops comes in. The single player campaign in Black Ops is outstanding! This time, there is an actual story that doesn't just tell you to shoot people for no reason. The plot is great and unpredictable, I won't tell you more but you'll love it!

Multiplayer is also really improved. I remember when I used to play MW2 and sometimes it took about 10 minutes to find a game and that was really a pain in the ass. But in Black Ops, 10 seconds is the most it took ... EVER! I didn't expect it to be that fast, but it was. And also, with the new Wager Matches and the great amount of customization, this is definitely a better experience than Modern Warfare.

More Super Meat Boy Character Announced

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 08:59:00 +0000

If you are like me, you're probably excited for Super Meat Boy. And with new character announcements getting better and better, could anyone not like it? Well, there are two more characters announced for Super Meat Boy, and those are Headcrab from Half-life and the Goo Balls from World of Goo! But there's a catch. You can't get both since Headcrab is exclusive for the Steam version of the game, whereas Goo Balls are exclusive for the non-Steam versions.

And now, there is only two more characters to be revealed, and all we have are their outlines. Any guesses?

Remeber the Broken TV Due to Kinect?

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:40:00 +0000

Remember when I wrote about the dude who broke his brand-new TV while using the Kinect? Well, Penny Arcade just released a comic strip that I just couldn't resist not showing it to you guys. Well, here it is:

Comment and let me know what you think about it!

Some Great GT News

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:49:00 +0000

I know, I know, I've been talking a lot about Gran Turismo lately, but it's not my fault! A lot of news about Gran Turismo has been going around lately, with the delay of the release date and the stamping of discs and all that other news. But this time I have some good news, and I think you will all love it!

Gran Turismo 5 has a FINAL(Yes, it's final) release date which is November 24! I know, it's so close! And I know most of you are going to buy it on day 1, and buying a game on day 1 is risky. But who cares? I'm buying it on day 1 too, I'm too excited! Well, do you think this is really the final release date or does Kaz want to make the game even more "perfect"?

You Buy Black Ops, You Buy Another Game Too

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:20:00 +0000

2:12 PM

Black Ops just released a few hours ago, and it was discovered that not only do you get the incredible campaign and multiplayer action, you also get a little extra something.
After entering the game, you are introduced to the menu. It's a man, sitting in front of a TV screen. The screen having all the options of the game. But, if you are able to find out how, you can get off the chair and walk around, finding a little computer somewhere in that room.
When you sit on the computer, you need to enter a code, and you are greeted with a super-fun arcade game called Dead Ops Arcade! Sounds fun right? Well it is! It's a 2D game where you get guns and RPGs to fend off zombies of all kind.
This is not the original zombie mode of the game, obviously, but it's a really cool arcade game and everyone should try it! Just figure out how to make it to the PC, the internet is filled with tutorials, and let me know what you think.

Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas?

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 16:33:00 +0000

11:23 AM
Yesterday I just bought Fallout: New Vegas from the local video games store, and I thought it would be interesting to list the differences between Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and to help you decide which one you should buy.
Well, first of all, graphics between Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are practically the same thing, but New Vegas has slightly improved graphics. But that's no major difference and I don't think graphics should be an element that will affect your choice.

Check out this awesome Bloody Mess cake!

Fallout 3 is obviously older, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It has more add-on content, and all lags and problems are fixed, if there were any in the first place. Whereas New Vegas is, well ... new. And it's filled with lags as you read in a previous post I wrote. But although it's new, it has some really awesome creatures, weapons, and gameplay material. The most awesome one being hardcore mode which lets you play the game with tough elements like dehydration and ammo weight...
But which one should I choose? you ask. Well, in my opinion, New Vegas has real potential, and from what I've seen, it's really, really, really great. But, I can't make the decision for you, so make your own, and think wisely.

Do Not Play Naked!

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 21:55:00 +0000

5:52 PM
Follow the above advice wisely, and don't play any, and I mean any Kinect game naked, or you'll be embarrassed like the girl above.
She had no idea the Kinect took pictures while a person is playing, and so decided to play naked. But she was surprised when she later figured out that photos were taken, and she found no way of deleting them.
So please, if you love humanity, don't play any video game naked.

Someone Already Broke His TV With Kinect

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 20:13:00 +0000

4:05 PM
Can you feel any worse than Phil Villarrea? He was the first, yes the first person to break his TV with Kinect. And what's even worse was that the TV was brand new, and now he has no way to enjoy his Kinect.

Poor TV, crying rainbow tears.

How did he break it, you ask? Well, he hit the chain that comes dangling down the ceiling's fan, which hit the TV, breaking it. Poor Phil.

Let this be a warning to all, stick to the controller. Or just be careful for god's sake!

More Awesome News: Development Is Underway on GT6

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 17:02:00 +0000


He created it. He can destroy it... But he won't, hopefully!

As a follow-up to yesterday's awesome news, we got some more awesomeness to be told! Kaz announced in a recent interview at the 2010 SEMA Show that GT6 development is underway.

But don't get too excited though, it took GT5 5 years to be released after GT4, so we can expect this to take even more time if Kaz wants it even more "perfect", which is his excuse for all the GT5 release delays. But if this game is released, and it meets my expectations, which are high, all is forgiven Kaz!

News of The Day: The GT5 Discs Are Being Stamped Right Now!

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:46:00 +0000

Nope, this isn't an illusion, nor is it a dream, this is REAL! Recently, Kazunori, the genius behind GT5, announced that, "The [GT5] discs are being stamped as we speak" in an interview at SEMA!

I'm guessing that's the motion he did with his hands when he announced this? Who cares?!

This is really exciting news, as we can expect GT5 to be released before the Holidays! And you know what that means! I'm sure most, if not all, of the PS3 owners will have a GT5 disk under his Christmas tree, if not already opened and inside his Playstation!

I don't know about you but this really got me excited! I mean seriously, aren't you guys excited for this too?

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:53:00 +0000

Glitches, bugs, problems. These are all things we despise in video games! But what do you do when a great game got released, and it could have been the greatest game of the year, if it wasn't for all the glitches? Do you buy the game, and try to live through the frustrating glitches, or just wait for months before the game is stable again?

Well, that's the decision I'm facing right now. As you should know, Fallout: New Vegas was released earlier, and it is filled with bugs and glitches. Actually, it has so much bugs, that the game got popular because of that! With youtube videos spreading all across the Web showing different bugs and glitches, I was sort of let down by that. For example take a look at the video below:

Obviously this will drive people away from this game since this is the opening scene of the game, and it's usually what makes the game count!

So what do you think I should do? Buy the game now, or wait and get it later?

Halloween Fever Is Burning Up!

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 16:34:00 +0000

The Jack-O-Lanter! What's up with that guy anyway?

Tonight is Halloween, and I can't wait to put on my costume and go trick or treating, and then eat candy! Well, that's what I would've said about 8 years ago. But tonight, it's party time!

But that's not what I'm really excited for, as much as I'm excited for what's after the party! You guessed it, one of many Halloween gaming frenzies is being held, and I'll be dead if I miss it!

First off, we got many games to play including: Dead Space, Resident Evil, Bioshock, and much much more!

Tonight is really going to chill every bone in my body, hopefully! How about you?

Hybrid Announced by 5th Cell

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:45:00 +0000

Yes the countdown is complete, the game is revealed, and it seems promising!

Taken directly from the website!

If you haven't heard, 5th Cell posted a countdown on their website about a week ago, and the countdown completed today! And it revealed one hell of a promising game! The game is called Hybrid, and you can check out its interactive website here.

All we have now is that website and a trailer, which you can watch below:

Obviously, the Variants are the evil side of two teams, the Variants themselves, and the Paladins. The game is a 3rd person shooter, and it's probably an army vs. army game, sorta like Killzone, except probably not as good. Nevertheless, this game looks really great, and I can't wait to find out more about it.

Starcraft 2 Is Really Outstanding

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:00:00 +0000

I know, I know, why am I talking about Starcraft 2 now? It's been a while since it's been released. But I just couldn't resist the urge of writing something new about Starcraft 2 since I'm still extremely addicted to that game.

The breath-taking battles!

To tell you why playing a game for 3 months is incredible for me, you need to know a little about myself first. I usually buy a game, play it, finish it, get me a bunch of trophies/achievements (if not all of them) and then simply stop. And this takes me about 1 month.

But Starcraft is different. It has no achievements or trophies. You just have the game. But you can never stop playing. But it's a strategy game, you build an army and attack your opponent and that's it right? WRONG! It's not as simple as just building an army and attacking. It's a strategy game. You need to think of the ways to overcome your opponent's forces while increasing your income and keeping up with your units.

This guy right here, he ain't the boss. You are!

You do what you want.
You order your units.
You are the commander.

Just thinking of not playing that game gives me the creeps. I don't know if I ever will stop playing it. Until, of course, Starcraft 3 is released. So I got about 11 years to go, right?

Red Dead : Undead Nightmare ... This Will Take The Whole Night!

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 20:26:00 +0000

Run Marston, Run!

There has been a lot of buzz about Undead Nightmare and I have to admit I got a little excited, so I booted up my PS3, went to the PS store and purchased the DLC.

About 5 seconds later, after buying the game, I found out that the DLC is about 1700 Megabytes large! Now, I don't know about you guys, but to me this is massive! But I don't blame Rockstar. I mean, the game does have a whole new Single-player experience with new enemies and weapons. But with my crappy internet connection, this DLC will take almost one whole night to download ... at least.

Uncharted 3: World of Deceit (Could It Be True?)

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:53:00 +0000

Just recently there seems to be some leaked concept art for the unannounced Uncharted 3: World of Deceit. Here are some of the pictures:

These seem pretty believable, unless someone was so bored he decided to create some incredible pictures and claim they were for Uncharted 3, but I doubt that. Hopefully Naughty Dog will respond to these pictures, then we'll find out whether they're fake or not. For more pictures go to this site and tell me what you think.

Fallout MMO : What We Want

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 08:59:00 +0000

Yes it can! (Hopefully)

Ah Fallout, one of the greatest RPGs ever, don't you agree? But we always ask ourselves, what if fallout was a MMO? How awesome would that be?
Well, wait no more... actually just a little more since a Fallout MMO is in the makings and is planned to be released somewhere by the end of 2012.
But what can we expect from that game, and what do we want?

Well, first of all, enhance the graphics. We can't be playing a 2012 game with 2008 graphics, that would be annoying.
Also, give us many interaction features, with NPCs and with other online players. Imagine the possibilities if we have full interaction with one another. You could actually, for the first time, be pick-pocketed by a player and then get blown up from a live grenade he placed in your pants!
What we also would love is to create posses. Although this is no new innovation, it would definitely be fun to create a posse with your friends and go on a rampage!
Finally, give us more WEAPONS! I'm not saying Fallout doesn't already have many, many weapons. All I'm saying is that we can never have enough, can we?

What do you want to see in a Fallout MMO? Let us find out!

5th Cell Announcement Coming In About 1 Week

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:22:00 +0000

The Countdown

5th Cell, the people behind the great game Scribblenauts, have just posted a countdown on their website for a big game release. All we know about it is that it will be released on XBLA and will be a "completely new experience" for gamers.

Scribblenauts was already a great new experience on the DS, and now a game for Xbox is pretty exciting. What sort of game do you think 5th Cell is bringing us?

Kirby Delayed for Europe and Australia Until 2011

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:13:00 +0000

It's just too cute not to love

Yes, you heard it, our cute round little creature Kirby will be taking a while to reach our friends in Europe and Australia, although Kirby's Epic Yarn was already released earlier this month in the U.S. and Japan.

This is really disappointing news for Europeans since this game really seemed to be a great one. Well, I guess you guys have to wait till 2011 to lay your hands on this game. Or you could import a new Wii and Kirby's Epic Yarn from the U.S., but I don't think you should be that desperate... or should you?

New Wipeout Possibly Coming Our Way

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:19:00 +0000

Sony Liverpool's Studios are the geniuses behind one of the best futuristic racing franchises ever, Wipeout. And now they're hiring "an experienced and upbeat Senior Designer to work with a talented and experienced team on a high profile, futuristic racing franchise."

Unless they are planning on creating a new high profile, futuristic racing franchise, it seems that Liverpool Studios are planning on either releasing a new Wipeout game or a new DLC is coming our way.

Twisted Metal Coming to PSOne Classics

noreply@blogger.com (VGNtertainment) — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 17:17:00 +0000

According to ESRB, the ground-breaking, awe-inspiring, car-destructing PS1 game Twisted Metal is coming to PSOne Classics in the PS Store. It seems it will be released somewhere around the time the PS3's sequel of Twisted Metal, also titled Twisted Metal, is released.

This is one of the greatest PS1 classics in history, and to be honest it took SONY a while to release it. But it's here now, and if you've missed this on your PS1, you should definitely pick it up from the PS Store once it's released.

Anyone other than me planning on purchasing this game?
