"Viking Brent" Adams — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:22:38 +0000

Mount up and take that hill, its EpicBattleCry! This week, we look back on the Uncharted franchise. From its humble beginnings, the series in just two games, is now mentioned alongside juggernauts like Halo, God of War, and others. With Uncharted 3 set to hit the streets, we take a moment to discuss why this franchise has captured the imagination of gamers and if it has secured a seat at the table of all-time video game greats.

Gerbster says: (On the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow demo coming to PSN Plus Europe first)
Since it’s coming to Xbox Live the same day as it’s coming to regular PSN I have no problem with this. Sony obviously offered Konami a little change to get early access to this demo (the Europe first thing baffles me much like the better Europe collector’s edition). That said access to a demo a few days sooner than I would otherwise get it is not something that is very enticing for PSN Plus.
Advice to Sony…Demo’s are something to entice the consumer to purchase the game, not something to entice the consumer to purchase your service.

By now, I thought the insults from the ‘bandmaster’ and that ‘I cent orgy’ would have given the other guy a thickened hide, or ‘a layered skin’.
anyway, time to ‘accept liberty’, right?
I strongly dislike it when I agree with everything so I can’t add to the discussion that much. So I’ll finish by again informing everyone that this website is awesome and I like anagrams.

Murphy’s Law: By accident and on purpose
Project12
We all know Murphy’s Law: “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

I’m sure we all have times when things go wrong when we really don’t want them to happen like your Xbox 360 getting the Red Ring of Death as soon as you buy Halo Reach.
For me, being run over by an ally-driven warthog in Halo 3 while standing still, only having 1 health point and then walking into an enemy slime that was hidden behind a tree in Recettear, getting physically stuck in props in Alien Swarm while on a speed run for an achievement and actually satisfying the speed run requirements for the last level of Alien Swarm after trying six times only to be not awarded the achievement while the players do are all examples of Murphy’s Law in action for me.

The best game movie !(????!!!!)
TimOverkleeft1986
Personally, I found Postal, well, funny in a way. It was really a B movie but i could see the humor in it. Also Mortal Kombat (at least the first one) was nice to watch. And the first Street fighter movie was okay, mainly because it didnt took itself too seriously.
Well go ahead guys and shoot. (not me please

WHATS UP MY CELESTIALS OF CARNAGE, MY PLANET EATERS OF ERADICATION, HOW ART THOU.

My Against the Wall or “Force Feedback” goes out to the new look for DMC. I know there is alot of arguments about this, but hear me out on this one. Alot of people say hes gone EMO, I say NO, I say his style of clothing looks more like th…e character from the movie Rocknrolla (Toby Kebbell) with a demented punk rock look which is great. If that doesn’t open eyes then I don’t know what else. Also his attitude makes this DMC more promising than the dante we’re familiar with and im hoping to see more brutal deaths. The Dante we know was a badass and making things look easy, now the new Dante looks like he doesn’t give a f*** and is out for BLOOOOOD attitude.. As always EBA, RAISE YOUR AXES AND LET THE BEHEADING BEGIN!

Not gaming related BUT remember the jokes about how we get most game related news from game designer’s twitter? Apparently now Russian president too announces the government’s future projects via Twitter! It’s fucking insane! Does Obama do that kinda of shit?

DID YOU GUYS NOT GET THE MEMO ABOUT GoG.COM. NICE ONE GUYS. BIGGEST FAIL THIS WEEK.

Red-Exodus
Kotick is my favorite real life villain, I bet he wished he came up with the idea of selling a demo as DLC like capcom did.

Danimation
That was actually a pretty decent Mickey Mouse voice over attempt. I’m impressed.

glowingdemon
great show, and for the record I flat out refuse to judge a game before I play it. No ”stupid” character design is enough for all the overblown bitching and whining and protesting and online petitioning, jezus you people are a bunch of butt hurt,whinny manginas.
