Tonight, my husband left for Navy Drill for the weekend.
Before he left, we all went to Target to stock-up on essentials for the time he’ll be gone so I don’t have to wrangle a couple of kids and a shopping cart by myself.
As is often the case, I found myself staring at the PS3 games that Target and salivating at the copies of Assassin’s Creed II and Borderlands that were just hanging out in there happy little plastic holders and calling my name.
Really. They were calling my name. Upon further examination, maybe I should worry about that little detail.
Anyway.
Target has …read more

So after I posted my I Miss Gaming post yesterday, I was struck by the realization that it’s awfully hard for one person to know about all of the awesome games that are out there to play.
The games that maybe didn’t make the most money or maybe didn’t get the most press but still rock and are games that have a hardcore following.
See? THOSE are the games that I want to play.
I want to play the games that people play because they LOVE them and not because they think that they should be playing them and then they find themselves …read more

Well, in my earlier postings I said that Call of Duty: World at War was Call of Duty 5.  That was not an accurate statement.  There is no Call of Duty 5.  The correct name is Call of Duty: World at War.  That means that Infinity Ward could still be tapped to develop it.
A boy can dream.
That being said, why is it that games (and movies) for that matter can not be done in sequential order.  Nothing pisses me off more than to get the wrong game because it was not in any kind of known order.  With the interest …read more

I am not a zombie kind of dude. I just can’t get into the whole undead thing, but bloodthirsty robots or a widespread virus that is totally my cup of tea. Robots and viruses as likely as me winning a Pulitzer, but I think that zombies are even less likely.
So, not being a zombie fan I shied away from all of the Resident Evil games (and the movies). You may be asking yourself, “how can you blog about FPS-es if you have not blasted zombies?” Well, I don’t know either but I am doing it. So, Ha! However, …read more

I did a lot of research on the subject of why I am so upset with the release of Call of Duty 5. Then I realized all I really needed to say was that Activision sucks!
Let me explain how I got there.
First Activision, with the help of Infinity Ward, launched Call of Duty. It was one of the better WWII shooters for its time. Unfortunately, like all good things, when they make money they are beaten to death. The WWII shooter is one of those good things.
By 2006, I was shell shocked and suffering from battle …read more

Joystiq seems to be intent on providing another video extravaganza. Last week, we were treated to several Far Cry 2 clips. This time, we’re talking about 10 (count ‘em!) Resistance 2 videos. Like before, the videos aren’t your typical short clips that are used mainly to tease. The videos are substantial and provide a deeper look at how Resistance 2 is going to be like.
Let’s get this extravaganza started! Ready the junk food and watch the videos after the jump.

GameSpot has a new detailed preview for Resistance 2, and it provides more particulars on the game’s class-based gameplay and competitive multiplayer. Indeed, this year’s holiday season is shaping up to be a tough period for gamers’ wallets because of the sheer number of outstanding games available.
If Resistance 2 were released on any other period of the year, it would surely get a lot of attention because it’s a marquee game. Since Resistance 2 is sandwiched between the release of major titles like Fallout 3, Dead Space, Gears of War 2, Mirror’s Edge, and Far Cry 2, it’s awfully hard …read more

Watch CBS Videos Online
We all know Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps won a whopping eight gold medals in Beijing. What we don’t know is that Phelps is the first person on the planet to own a copy of Call of Duty: World at War for the PlayStation 3. During an interview with the CBS Early Show, the now-legendary swimmer was handed a copy of the FPS in question.

After what seemed like an eternity, Bioshock finally has a release date for the PlayStation 3. Mark your calendars, PS3 owners, because the critically-acclaimed FPS/horror game is coming in North America on October 21 and internationally on October 24.
Interestingly, Bioshock’s PS3 version comes with new content. This includes the Survivor difficulty mode, and Trophy support, among others.

According to Joystiq, invitations for the Resistance 2 private beta have already been sent out. If you didn’t get an email informing you that you’ve been chosen to participate, then you’re probably not a subscriber to Sony’s Qore, an online magazine that charges $3 per month. Funnily enough, being a Qore subscriber is no guarantee that you’d get to play Resistance 2 anyway.
