Easily one of my top ten games gets a totally awesome E3 trailer. Judging by the video, I like where they’re going, with the run down, partially destroyed areas overgrown with plants…looks sweet.
Also interesting that Gabe Newell announced this at Sony’s event, saying the PS3 will have the best version.
Looks really nice, and the space combat seems pretty awesome. I’m glad they decided to add that aspect in, I think it makes the game play a bit more unique then previous installments.
Halo Reach will be out this September.
According you this you have to pre-order to get a beta key so…good and bad.
That music though…I don’t know.
The first DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, The Passing, will be out tomorrow for both the PC and Xbox 360. The content includes a number of new features including:
The DLC will run 560 Microsoft points ($7.00) for the Xbox 360. It’s free for PC users.
Finally, jet packs. It’s like Tribes all over again.
They fix the Javelin glitch and introduce two great new ones: infinite ammo on everything (no cooldown on the C-130’s guns, for instance) and joining random private matches when searching for games. Awesome. I’ve had a lot of trouble the past couple of days joining the same game with my party, which is amazingly annoying. These problems seem to effect the Xbox 360, only. Apparently Infinity Ward is aware of the problem, though. From their Twitter:
Preparing an in depth #MW2 Status Report for players to stay aware of what we’re addressing & how it’s progressing. Lots of updates in works
Valve’s WAR! Update Team Fortress 2 will be adding in a new crafting system. Basically, you find blueprints (or otherwise discover, I guess some are “secret”), smelt all your useless duplicates weapons to scrap parts, and use those to make a weapon you actually want! I honestly think it’s a great way to go, my inventory is completely full of useless duplicates. Or was when I stopped playing a while ago.
Anyway, with these constant, free updates to Team Fortress 2, Valve is quickly becoming the most awesome game company. Ever.

Another trailer from the Video Game Awards. No actual game play, but it does show a number of different Spartans.
It was funny at first. Then it got amazingly annoying. Particularly when you faced groups of people with clan tags like “JAV” all running around doing it. Now, finally, it’s gone forever. For those who enjoy being cheap, fear not, Akimbo Model 1887s remain insanely overpowered.
Fun fact: I worked at the company that makes the Javelin. So, in a small way, I made this glitch a reality.
