Dead Space Trailer

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

At first I was thinking Dead Space was just going to be a Doom knock-off. Now I’ve decided that it doesn’t matter, after watching the trailer I don’t think I care one way or another, it looks pretty awesome. Fun fact, apparently this trailer wasn’t approved by the ESRB (that’s why it shows the EU rating at the beginning).

Also, for some reason it sounds like Bjork singing to me. I don’t know how to do the two dots over the ‘o’. Björk. I just figured it out. Just kidding, I just copied that. I searched “Bjork” on Google and got “Björk”. It’s probably totally not her, because I’m wrong about music always. Always. Except this one time, Liz knows, ask her. She might not tell you, though, or mysteriously forget. It really did happen though, seriously.

Halo Wars Gameplay Trailer

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I’m excited about Halo Wars, but I’m worried about the controls. Every single console RTS game I’ve played just hasn’t worked for me, it just seems like a mouse and keyboard are perfect for RTS while game controllers fail miserably. Hopefully Ensemble will get the controls just right because I really want this game to be good, a Halo RTS game is just too radical.

Gears of War 2 E3 Footage

Monday, July 14th, 2008

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.
