BioShock Infinite’s 1999 Mode WIll Kick Your Ass

I just posted over on Side Mission about the newly-announced 1999 Mode in BioShock Infinite which, in a nutshell, has been designed from the ground up to appeal to hardcore gamers (that’s you) while simultaneously kicking your ass. Here’s the description:
1999 Mode is a way of playing designed for gamers who long for the days of games that demanded more of the player. It will include tweaks and features that BioShock fans will not experience in a standard play-through of BioShock Infinite, no matter the difficulty level.
In addition to these permanent decisions, 1999 Mode will feature demanding weapon, power, and health management. The mode also takes a much harder stand on player respawning, sending the gamer directly to a “Game Over” screen if he or she lacks the resources to be brought back to life. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Sounds pretty good, eh?!?!
So, hit up the full post over on GT’s Side Mission right here for all of the details and then head back here to the comments section and share your thoughts on the new 1999 mode with the EBA Community in the comments section below.
There is a little teaser coming your way in the form of the Mass Effect 3 demo. The demo hits February 14th and I will admit, I’m a little excited. This news came via a retweet from Bioware.
Hello and good day to you all. My name is Luke, I hail from the UK and I am a new contributing writer for EpicBattleAxe.com. To start I just wanna raise awareness of PIPA as well as how you, the mighty Axehead army, can spread the word of what it is and why it should be stopped.
I had a conversation with Brent, in which we talked about the negative affect this will have on the internet as a whole. Not only will it affect video game websites but film, music, or any other websites related to entertainment. I bring this up because, as SOPA may be delayed, PIPA still rears its ugly head so it’s important that you are kept in the know. It’s in your power to tweet, share on Facebook, or use any other means of sharing your thoughts.
Cry havoc, let your voice be heard. Because if you don’t, it may be silenced for good.

Yay or Nay? Max Payne 3 Delay
So, Axeheads, it’s official: Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive announced today that Max Payne 3 will now release on May 15 in North America and May 18 internationally.
However, as EBAer HaVoK308 mentioned in our nifty Shoutbox, this may not be so bad. The first quarter of this year was already booked; what with Mass Effect 3, The Darkness II, the PlayStation Vita launch and its release games, Armored Core V, and people STILL playing Skyrim, how could we possibly have time to play Rockstar’s latest?!
But, that’s just me (and HaVoK308)–what do you guys think? Is May a much more sufficient release date? Is Q1 now officially the new Q4? Was Max Payne 3 all you were waiting for, in which case this news is just flat out upsetting? CRY HAVOC!

It’s Kind of a King-dumb Question…

I’m conflicted…and I need your help. I really, really REALLY want to get into The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, but hot damn, I just don’t know if I have enough time to take on another RPG right now. I’m STILL trying to finish Skyrim and we all know that Mass Effect 3 is right around the corner at which point I will basically tune out EVERYTHING and Shepard my sheep through the looming Reaper invasion. So, what to do? Maybe I’ll play Reckoning on a Ustream or something so that you FORCE me to play with your questions and feedback – keeping my weary wings aloft on a current of comments and community-driven interaction. Or maybe I’ll skip it and wait until I finish ME3 (and about 10 other games I need to complete) while adding this one to the ole’ “to-do” list. Both sound like appealing options, but I need some help deciding what to do. I guess I’ll turn to the EBA Community for some insight – I reckon…
