Phew! Today was a long day on the set. Holmes and I are off for the holidays soon, but not before we jam pack the best video game news this side of the Mississippi into 14 minutes of pure aural pleasure. Today is our special holiday buyer’s guide episode. We looked deep into our souls to reveal our wishlists for Christmas 2011. (Hint: Mine’s a pony!) I also show my excitement for the upcoming gamesFezandRetro City Rampage, while Holmes gushes (lol) over some newCall of Duty: Black OpsDLCand a newsize limit for 3DS games....
Blitz Arcade’sPowerUp Foreveris an arcade shooter that requires decent reflexes and a healthy desire to decimate foes. The most important feature of the game (as Blitz would have you believe) is collecting power-ups after defeating a special foe. From the title alone, I gathered that the amount of special upgrades or abilities was unlimited. I couldn’t be more wrong. Power-ups are not forever. For many days now I have been walking the halls of my home, inebriated....
If you were all excited to get a demo of Capcom’sDevil May Cry 4on January 31 (as reported), I have some bad news — it won’t be available on January 31. How does this Thursday, January 24, sound instead? Capcom tells us that the demo will indeed be available this week, on both the PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE Marketplace. We’re told the playable demo will introduce gamers to Nero and the use of his “Devil Bringer,” through a “sampling of sections from the full game....
People still want a DS for Christmas. I honestly don’t know anyone who wanted one who doesn’t have one yet. I have this sister-in-law that has one she’s only used once. My mother has one and rocks it. I think she’s on her second. But, apparently, there are still plenty out there who have a Nintendo DS on their Christmas list this year, and GameStop is having to sort out the high demand....
Tara got back from the VGAs extremely late last night. We had about five hours to catch up, sleep, and write the show. Hopefully we pulled it off. In this episode, Tara gives an extremely thorough rundown of her experience at the VGAs, while I share my thoughts on the show as I perceived it from home. On Tara’s end, we have info and trailers forElder Scrolls V,Mass Effect 3,Uncharted 3,Portal 2,Batman: Arkham City, and loads of others....
While strolling through my friendly neighborhood coporate bookstore, I caught a glimpse of a book with silly Lego people on the cover. How weird. Not wanting to drop 30 bones on a book of questionable quality, and finding no paperback counterpart, I decided to go the frugal route and get it from my campus library. WhenDouglas CouplandwrotejPodlast year, I doubt he knew how much it would piss me off. Also, he probably would’ve wanted me to torrent it, now that I think about it....
My nightly quest to complete the games which languish on my shelves continues! We’re now three hours intoUncharted 2: Among Thievesand things are apparently about to heat up. As I was signing off last night, people were begging that I continue, swearing the best part of the game was about to arrive. I have had a lot to look forward to. Come watch the stream and join in on the conversation as Backlog continues, something it does every weeknight at 10pm Pacific....
Last night, wereported on the rumorthatDuke Nukem Foreverwould not be shown at E3 this year. In an unpredictable and crazy turn of events, vice president of 3D Realms Scott Miller has confirmed that the title will not be shown this year by blasting the outlet and its reach toNext-Gen: It’s just that we view E3 as irrelevant nowadays. In fact, I wasn’t even aware it was coming up. Someone should probably swing by 3D Realms’ office and circle their calendar right fast....
I wouldn’t consider myself an avid fan of theSplinter Cellseries by any means, but that’s not to say I won’t play and enjoy the Tom Clancy-branded games. The thing is, I don’t normally pay much attention to these titles pre-release, but that sort of changed withSplinter Cell Conviction. I have been actively followingConvictionsince we first saw Sam Fisher’s new look, and I have to say, man has the gamecome a long waysince then....

Ayumi will make her return on an adventure set on a mysterious island (ohhh!) where she has to hack & slash her way to a big bad boss. The game will feature 40+ sets of skills including melee, tactics, combos, as well as Order and Chaos magic....
You can’t take a beloved series and make it modern without knowing some of the old fans are going to get riled up. There’s been a lot of anger — and even some confusion — when it comes toXCOM. From what I hear, what’s being shown at E3 is much sharper thanprior builds. In this video, Max gives us his general impressions of the game. Give it a watch!
