Awesome Radical Gaming

The best part of this video, to me, is the last couple of seconds. Horde mode - Five players online co-op versus wave after wave of Locust. I love playing online so much more versus NPC’s then just versus other humans. Unreal Tournament 2003 had “Invasion”, which is basically the same thing, everyone fought against increasingly difficult waves of monsters and it was really, really fun. I seriously can’t wait, for me online in the original Gears of War was absolutely horrible, it wasn’t fun at all, and this gives me something to really look forward to.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Some players control the bugs and try to kill the people, other players shoot at the bugs. I, for one, am intrigued. Actually, could be a pretty cool game mode. I remember in one of the Unreal Tournaments they had a mode where players could all fight against progressively harder waves of computer controlled enemies. It was really fun and I wish more games had stuff like this (like Halo 3, for example). Akrid Hunt really isn’t anything like that at all, but it somewhat reminds me of it. A little.

Looks pretty intense. I like Marcus shooting the one Locust in the face, then using him as a body shield and then, after he’s done with him, moving him to the edge, breaking his neck and finally throwing him off the side. They can’t be dead enough, you never know with those guys.

After watching this I really want to get Left 4 Dead. Co-op FPS killing tons of zombies, you really can’t go wrong. I don’t know if I could trust Robert to watch my back with zombies around though, you just never know with that guy. The Lego Batman trailer looks interesting, too.

Just in case you have a PS3 and not a 360, or chose not to get it for the 360, now is your chance to get Lost Planet. I never played Lost Planet, but it seems radical enough. Shooting stuff and running around in snow and what not.

Portal is my favorite game of 2007. So many things combined together to make the game great. I really liked how it’s a FPS where you aren’t running around killing everything in sight but instead solving puzzles. That and the amount of character they put into GLaDOS.

Well, turns out Portal 2 is on the way.
