Awesome Radical Gaming

Year: 2008

  • BlizzCon 2008

    Blizzard announced their annual BlizzCon gaming convention today. Tickets are $100 each, I think I would totally do it if it wasn’t in California. No video game related cool stuff happens on the east coast for some reason. Which is total crap. The whole press release is below…

  • WiiWare Launches Today

    WiiWare, the Wii servies offering downloadable games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii, launched today. The games vary in price, from just 500 Wii Points to 1500 Wii Points. The six games available are: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King for 1500 Wii Points LostWinds for 1000 Wii Points…

  • Viva Pinata 2 Leaked

    It hasn’t been announced yet, but some screen shots have been leaked for Viva Pinata 2. Microsoft is expected to announce the game on Tuesday at the Spring Showcase. Viva Pinata was pretty awesome, can’t wait for the second one. Also, once of the shots seems to show two cursors on the screen, maybe there…

  • Gears of War 2 Gameplay Footage

    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.

  • Play a Flash Demo of English of the Dead

    I imagine that if Liz ever became a zombie should would run up to me, wielding a chainsaw, and say the exact same thing. Actually, I think all languages should be taught by killing zombies. If my French classes in high school somehow involved making zombies jump down a hole in the ground, I definitely…

  • Metal Gear Retrospective

    I like learning more about Snake. Everyone should, really. Like, I had no idea in the first Metal Gear there was a boss named Dirty Duck, that game was too hard I never got anywhere in it. Snake is pretty awesome. I hope Liz reads this so she can start thinking about our next awesome…

  • Starcraft II Producer Video

    Watch a Starcraft II video featuring producer Chris Sigaty. I wonder if my hair would look that good if it was long.

  • Win an Etrian Odyssey II Soundtrack!

    Atlus has a totally awesome contest going on right now to help promote their upcoming RPG Etrian Odyssey II. Basically you write a story or something and if it’s good you win the 3-disc Etrian Odyssey II soundtrack. Seems pretty rad, I’d love that soundtrack…If your interested, you can go here and participate. My story…

  • My Xbox 360 Broke

    I knew this day would come, but I still wasn’t ready for it. I saw all the signs. I just wish I could turn back the hands of time and say “I love you” once more. Luckily, Kotaku posted this the other day. 3 red lights.

  • Blizzard Acquires Diablo3.com

    Blizzard recently acquired the Diablo fansite diablo3.com, now the natural question is “Will Diablo 3 will be coming out anytime soon?” Maybe, but I doubt it, it’s Blizzard we’re talking about here…Starcraft 2 has been in the works for 10 years now…but at least this is a step in the right direction. Diablo 2 is…

  • Earthbound Bound For Virtual Console?

    Well, it looks like it could be happening…I never thought it would (Nintendo of America refused to bring over any of the GBA Mother games so I figured it was the end of the series for me), but it looks like Nintendo might be bringing Earthbound stateside via the Virtual Console. The ESRB has recently…

  • R-Type Command Preorder Bonus

    I was on the fence about if I was going to buy R-Type Command or not. The demo was OK, but I didn’t think I needed the game. Now, I’ve kind of changed my mind. You basically get a totally radical R-9 figurine and I need more stuff to clutter up the apartment.
