‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE’ DLC dropping a new companion character?
I want to make a lot of witty comments about the possibility that BioShock Infinite DLC may feature a new companion character. However, two problems arise. First, I’m not really witty. Second, anything I can come up with is quasi-spoilerish and I ain’t going that route.

NEXT XBOX getting EXCLUSIVE from ‘CALL OF DUTY’ creators. Shots fired.
Let’s side-step what we think of Call of Duty, or the potential game from its creators. The fact that Microsoft may be sewing up the next game from these lads is pretty impressive. The Duty franchise is a veritable license to print money, and while there isn’t anything guaranteed about this new franchise I have to imagine it’ll be making crazy dollars. In a world where Sony and Microsoft are struggling to differentiate their console from the others, this could be a hell of a marketing point.
Pressssss Sssstarrt! – Dare to Scare
Somewhere out there, unbelievable as it may be: someone is surprised that Dead Space 3 wasn’t a resounding success. Whoever that may be clearly doesn’t see the issue with watering down a great horror game so much that it becomes a tepid co-op shooter with faux-RPG elements. In fact, if you think of all the meetings and work hours this game went through in order to get made, it’s startling to think that nobody suggested how fucking awful an idea the game was. In actuality, they probably did, but they then met with some sort of comedic ejection procedure (my money is on tossed from a first storey window by two burly security guards).
Thank Dead Space 3 for fucking up horror gaming for the rest of us: no doubt convincing investors that the genre is a lame duck. Next, thank Bethesda for being confident enough to get Shinji Mikami making a proper horror game. Dreams can come true.
‘CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS’ is probably revealed, MORE DUTIES FOREVER.
Another year, another Call of Duty. This newest one is reportedly by Infinity Ward, and subtitled Ghosts. Makes sense, since IW has been on that every-other-year grind for a while, and Ghosts is nice and mysterious.
Hit the jump for more.
NEXT XBOX being revealed on MAY 21. BALLMER SNORTING COKE, JACKED ALREADY.
The Next Xbox is being revealed on May 21. There are unconfirmed reports I’m going to dress up like Bill Gates and jack off into a blender filled with Xbox hardware. As I watch, it’ll hurl tech-shrapnel deep into my guts. I will orgasm.
Order PIZZA HUT from your XBOX 360. ‘MURICA POWER.
Too tired to stand up and order a pizza? Or is your tablet too far away to order online? Now you can rock some heavy metal American thunder. Order that pizza pie straight from you Xbox 360. Who says you have to move? Not Freedom.
‘METAL GEAR SOLID LEGACY COLLECTION’ confirmed. MOAR COLLECTIONS ALWAYS.
If you’re not content with owning thirteen different copies of every single Metal Gear Solid title, Konami has something to rub your tits on. It’s yet another collection, this one emerging from their gaping anus and slithering down the throat of the PS3. And having abstained from buying any of the other collections, I may actually buy this one.
Press Start: Dare to Care
Week in, week out, I find that I give fewer and fewer fucks about my greatest love: video games. Something about the world has changed recently: perhaps it’s a winding down as the console generation nears to a close, or maybe the industry has just plain run out of ideas. Whichever the case may be, I can’t help but wonder why anybody other than dedicated, pathetic losers like myself would be inclined to care. Abruptly, he slaps himself across the face with a force that ejects two fillings and a week’s worth of shitty debris that previously resided underneath his grubby fingernails. God-fucking-dammit, man! This is your one-true, your reason d’etre! C’mon, surely I can muster up a handful of halfway adequate reasons to deter any other would-be quitters. Here goes.
REAL LIFE PHOTOS x 16 BIT-VIDEO GAMES = worthy mash-up.
Great fucking idea right here. Take some classic video games, take some esoteric video games, and incorporate them into real life photographs. Hit the jump for a look.
‘THE EVIL WITHIN’ TRAILER: Mikami’s new survival horror jam.
Shinji Mikami’s newest survival horror blood-wonder was revealed yesterday in a teaser trailer. I got questions for you folks. Are you excited for this game? Why or why not? Or are you like me, somewhat fatigued with Mikami’s pretty well-established formula, and somehow also simultaneously pumped.
