Uncharted-2:-Among-Thieves

Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. I really meant to get this done last night when I got home from Eric’s, but I started playing Uncharted 2 instead (I’m so close to the ending!). I’ll probably review the game when I finish it and I’ve had a chance to really think about the game. Other than that, I have a few bits and pieces of news for you, mostly having to do with, you guessed it, Left 4 Dead 2. ...

I get tired of saying it guys, but, really, MLB Power Pros 2009 is not coming to North America. Nintendo has, yet again, released a list of upcoming titles for 2009 ( seen here, from Kotaku) Seriously guys, it sucks, but we’re not getting the game. Gamestop Getting Paid Hey readers, surprise! Gamestop likes to make money. Since they like making money so much, they’ve launched their own digital download store for casual games. ...

Not much is going on…at all… Let’s celebrate the start of this week with some Phoenix Wright! The folks over at OCRemix have put out some mixed versions of the songs from the soundtrack. Man do I love this series. OBJECTION! Classic. No Yakuza? ...

The Xbox Live Summer of Arcade schedule has been announced and it looks like there are some great games coming soon. 22 July - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled - A 3D update of the classic arcade and SNES beat-em-up, this game could be fun, but then again, the 3D models just look so uninspired compared to the cartoon and their pixelated counterparts. ...

Happy Fourth of July! Recent statistics packages on my blog allowed me to browse search terms that lead to my site. So here’s what you’ve been searching in July along with relevant links and/or answers to your questions. mlb power pros 2009 - 68 hits MLB Power Pros continues to be a strong draw for my blog since I’m probably one of the few guys who talks about it. Real shame too, because it’s such a great game. Many come to the blog hoping to find news about the 2009 edition, but, if they’ve hit up my post they know that I’m skeptical that the game will come stateside. ...

Just about every serious adult (and employed) gamer has one thing in common, regardless of his/her tastes: the pile of shame. It sounds a lot worse than it is, because it’s definitely not a stack of Barbie Horse Adventure games or anything, it’s a stack of games that have all received critical acclaim or come highly recommended, but that the gamer has no time to get around to playing, mainly because of other releases or just being too busy. ...

Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. Let’s start with a little NSFW. Remember that game Left 4 Dead? Remember how Zoey was a great example of a non-sexualized hero, something Valve specializes? Remember no more, because diligent modders have released the Nude Zoey mod ( Kotaku story mildly NSFW, but no actual nudity in it). The designer of the mod wasn’t happy with just slapping on a nude skin, nope, apparently it wasn’t complete until Zoey featured realistic boob jiggle. Modders have too much time on their hands, perhaps? ...

On my second attempt to win an Uncharted 2 Beta key, I finally succeeded! I will let you guys know what it’s like once I get a chance to start playing, but I’m super pumped. Thanks 1UP.com!

It’s not quite time for the big E3 blowout, that will come tomorrow. How about some quick bad news: word on the street is that The Beatles: Rock Band will not allow you to play non-Beatles music in it nor will it allow you to transfer Beatles songs out. That’s a pretty serious bummer for me! I love The Beatles as much as the next guy, but the thought of being restricted to only one band’s repertoire is unnecessarily limiting and kind of disappointing. This probably isn’t Harmonix’s fault, but it still stinks. I hope that LEGO Rock Band won’t be similarly crippled. ...

I just can’t wait until Friday to start putting these things up. Uncharted is one of my favorite games for the PS3 and the sequel promises to be all that and more. Things to note: - New love interest…who cares… - Snow - ELENA! OMG ELENA! She’s back and her shirt is also only half-tucked.
