The Top 5 Songs That Would Get Me To Spend Money On Rock Band

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Andrew Minott

I have a love/hate relationship with Rock Band.

That’s not exactly accurate.

When it first came out, I hated it (because I hated Guitar Hero). Then in early 2008 I moved into a house with three other guys, and they all loved Rock Band. And then I did too. Now I haven’t touched it in two years, though I remember the time we spent together fondly. So really, my relationship with Rock Band is hate/love/sexless marriage. Those two years ago, I bought the Lady Gaga track pack (don’t judge me) and the AFI Crashlove pack (I SAID DON’T). Since then, though, I haven’t noticed anything that has been put up on the marketplace that would inspire an end to my music game famine.

So what would it take?Read More

PAYDAY: The Heist and Left 4 Dead Collaboration Announced

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Overkill Software’s PAYDAY: The Heist has long been compared to Valve’s Left 4 Dead. PAYDAY is basically L4D where the protagonists are a bunch of criminals rather than survivors, and the zombies have been replaced by policemen. The distinctions between the two may blend even further after the announcement of a “co-operative” initiative between PAYDAY and Left 4 Dead. Read on for the official announcement from Ulf Andersson, Overkill’s Game Director.

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Borderlands 2 will be receiving not one but two special editions 2K Games and Gearbox Studios have announced. If you’ve ever needed a reason to reenter the vault one more time the Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Edition and Ultimate Loot Chest Editions might give you more than enough reasons to return to Pandora in search of sweet, sweet loot.

The Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Edition comes with a copy of Borderlands 2 in the flavor of your choice, a Marcus Bobble Head, four stickers, collector’s edition box, a map of Pandora and a hard cover artbook. Not a bad deal for $99.99, if I say so myself.Read More

Wii U OS Details Leaked?

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Details surrounding the operating system Nintendo’s upcoming Wii-U have supposedly leaked online.  All of this information seems very tentative considering the fact that the poster mentioned that these details came from a “Version 4 development kit” that is supposedly a few months old.

This information is supposedly two months old and may change considering the fact that the Wii-U is not expected to be released until October or November. The Wii-U’s OS will be reportedly one of the largest in console history clocking in at 512MB. Apparently the operating system run by the Wii-U has “never been seen before on a home console”.  Despite these claims that the WIi-U’s OS will be revolutionary Nintendo is keeping the dashboard close to its chest, developers currently do not have access to it.

Hopefully Nintendo will shed some light on this new revolutionary dashboard at next month’s E3 conference.

WipeOut 2048 Vita | Review

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The launch of a brand new PlayStation platform and the WipeOut franchise almost go hand in hand. When the original PlayStation Portable launched in 2005 with the phenomenal WipeOut Pure followed by 2009s WipeOut Pulse. Even the PlayStation 3 got in on the action with 2008’s WipeOut HD. Does WipeOut’s formula of futuristic racing machines, hard hitting weapons and breakneck speed equal fun on Sony’s latest handheld?

WipeOut 2048 like its predecessors brings the entire package to Sony’s new handheld. Just because the game is being placed on a Vita Game Card doesn’t mean that SCE LiverPool had to compromise any of its artistic vision. Those of you looking for a faced paced racer are in for a treat with 2048, as the game offers several different game modes including offensive/defensive only events, time trials, four different classes of ships (D through A) and four distinct seaons (one per class).Read More
