Awesome Radical Gaming

Gaming news that is both awesome AND radical.

FPS

  • Sure, Left 4 Dead 2 is only a month away, but that hasn’t stopped Valve from supporting Left 4 Dead. Crash Course is out for both the Xbox 360 and PC today. The downloadable content adds a new campaign (playable in survival and versus mode), new dialog, new achievements, and new locations.

  • Do not watch this video if you haven’t beaten the game yet, or don’t mind having it spoiled, as it shows the ending video from the game. The clicking sound is the player flicking left on the right analog stick.

  • 8 minutes of Modern Warfare’s 2 campaign shown on stage…somewhere. Wherever this was, it sounds really loud. And that ending…that had to hurt.

  • It’s Left 4 Dead news day, apparently. At a press conference held in Tokyo, EA announced that a Left 4 Dead 2 demo will be out October 27th. No details on if the demo would be for the PC, Xbox 360, or both.

  • Valve announced today that Left 4 Dead’s new campaign, Crash Course, will be out next week. The campaign takes place between the No Mercy and Death Toll campaigns, fleshing out what happens once you escaped from the hospital and how you end up trying to get to the airport. The DLC will be available on…

  • Lucasarts has released a number of their older titles for both Steam and Direct2Drive. They packaged the games together, one package containing Jedi Knight series, the other package having a few of their classic adventure games. Direct2Drive adventure game pack contains The Dig, Fate of Atlantis, Last Crusade and Loom for $9.95, and the Jedi…

  • It interesting to see how the game evolved from a “mini-campaign” to a full game, in about a year’s time. Can’t wait to play it next week.

  • Left 4 Dead 2 keeps looking better and better. At first I was admittedly a bit cautious about the sequel coming out so soon after the original, but the more I see of it, the more I like it. The new special infected seem great at breaking up tightly packed groups of survivors, which is…

  • Shooting people is cool, yes, but capturing flags using riot shields is even awesomer. So is “host migration”, something every single game should have. In most games, if the host leaves, the game ends for everyone, which happens constantly. That’s been fixed in Modern Warfare 2, with the game automatically selecting a new host very…

  • Halo 3 ODST’s version of Horde Mode, Firefight, is looking pretty interesting. I really like the random multipliers they show if in this video, it seems like it will add a lot more variety so that every time you’re playing it will be a different experience.

  • Sure, Left 4 Dead 2 is coming out in November, but that isn’t stopping Valve from releasing more DLC for the original Left 4 Dead. The new campaign, Crash Course, will be playable in single player, co-op, and versus modes and (adding some continuity to the campaigns) takes place between the No Mercy and Death…

  • Tired of just getting art books with your collector’s edition games? Well, it seems Infinity Ward has come to the rescue, giving players night vision goggles with every “Prestige Edition” copy of the game. And it will only set you back about $149 which actually, kind of doesn’t seem that bad for the goggles and…
