DMV:Now that I’m done playingGuilty Gear 2: Overture(thank God), I’ve moved onto going betweenDead Spaceand various PSN games, along with theResistance 2beta. Unlike Samit and seemingly everyone else, I am not enjoying it in the least.

Games time forgot: Total Overdose

Stranglehold? PAH. Don’t talk to me aboutStranglehold. Midway’s Woo-centric third-person shooter may have had gorgeous graphics and the Massive Destructoid engine, but I’ll tell you what it didn’t have: heart.* Total Overdose, the 2005 third-person shooter from Deadline Games, basically covers all the same ground asStranglehold(large scale, over-the-top gunfights), along with adding some pleasurable, if flawed,Grand Theft Auto-esque elements — and all in a wacky, fun, Robert Rodriguez-esque game world....

After the choice, a (moral)experience points are given, which can then be applied to a stat-bubble grid....

Get in the Game: Become a character in Prototype 2

My mind is always blown at these kinds of promotions. It could be seen as risky to open up the playing field for anyone to become a character in your game. What if they’re really scary or strange? Do you want that in your game? Activision is taking the risk in a new “Get in the Game” promotion they have with GameStop. Pre-orderPrototype 2between now and September 1 and you could be chosen to win a trip for two to Radical Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada and become a character in the game....
