Portal 2 - Sexy Boots trailer!

Must be nice to bounce around like Oprah's boobs... well now you can with some smart booties! Check out the vid below for some sexy footwear that will save you from a hundred foot drop. Paris Hilton should give it a go... without the boots...

Portal 2 TV ad - Skynet they aint!

Check out this nice and funny lil TV spot for Portal 2, it features those two retarded but likable robots, that said they make C3-PO and R2D2 look like a right pair of rusty old bolts. The T-1000 however has nothing to worry about. Of course this Laural and Hardy styled duo will be our hosts for the co-op/multiplayer portion of P2 so ya best get used to shining their helmets... oops pardon!

Its Gabe to be the Gaming King...

Gabe Newell is a king among gamers! For those that dont know who he is, he is head of Valve and the big kahoona of Half Life and all its spin offs, including Left 4 Dead, Portal and of course the Steam platform. He is also so wealthy that Forbs.com have done a special article on him which you can and should read here - Forbes.com

Gabe and Valve have always done their best to give fans what they want along with caring about the quality of their games and not just knocking em out like a horny monkey... or Activision. There is loads in the article, like the fact that Gabe had to get new eyes due to a disease, how Valve are more successful than Apple or Google when measured by the ratio of profit to employee. Also how most of the staff started from being home brew modders and of course the huge amounts of money the company is worth today. Personally I have a mega amount of respect for the guy and I hope he stays around for a long time to come. He is truly a gem in the gaming world and other developers could learn allot from his success!

If you have any interest in the future of gaming then this is well worth a look, if not then... don't bother your lazy ass, tut-tut. It is well worth a read though!

PS3 and PC meet online... Thanks to Portal 2!

Ok, this shit is the bomb!Portal 2 will be cross compatible online between the PC and PS3, Yep! A PS3 owner will now be able to play and chat with a PC player online. Ain't that great?! But it gets better because if you get Portal 2 on the PS3 (Currently - April 21st, 2011) you will get the PC version free with it... yep, free! Ya hear that Microsoft?? It's all made possible through 'Steam' Valve's game market place and general game platform. Once ya reg up on steam you can slip between platforms to play the game as the steam cloud will hold all your saved progress and you can mix it up between PC and PS3 online play, fookin fab eh!

We have wanted this for a long time and despite the slight advantage that PC players will have by using a keyboard and mouse, it shall render a better experience for all gamers involved... now sort it out for Left 4 Dead please valve. As for Microsoft... stop being so frickin greedy and let some free stuff onto the xbox, like steam... Then perhaps we can get a good old three way going! Wouldn't that kick ass!!Hopefully a fire has been lit under the industry with this and other developers will take heed.
P.S. Valve... I lurrrvv u!!!

Half Life Movie - Super Cool!!!

There have been lots of attempts to do a Half Life movie by independent film makers and so far they have been pretty good, here is another one - 'Beyond Black Mesa'. It also looks brill, if perhaps a lil rough on the acting. It was done on a budget of $1,200, over two years. That's pretty good going and with it gaining notice at film festivals this could end up in the cinema... Yay! Just keep the Hollywood fat cats away from it all!!
Our HL hero is nowhere to be seen though - Where is Gordon when ya need him eh? Probably banging that scientist chick before Episode 3 is released. Click Here for the official site and check it out below!

Left 4 Dead - The Sacrifice Trailer - Scary!

Zombies, zombies everywhere and not a one to screw! Yep, more brainless meat sacks for ya. Left 4 Dead 1&2 DLC - 'The Sacrifice' is nearly here for us, coming on October 5th and you can watch the preview below. Looks like Bill is truly fooked! But you can make that decision for yourself when you play it. The Sacrifice will be free for PC and Mac players but will be 560msp on the Xbox, which sucks shriveled up zombie balls! That said, Id sell my zombified granny to play it. Enjoy!

Left 4 Dead 1&2 - The Sacrifice DLC - Out soon!

Left 4 Dead is probably one of the best frantic paced zombie based games ever and a dammed good shooter in its own right! Valve have been very consistent with their DLC and this time we are getting something to please both L4D1 and L4D2 fans. As all us Dead Heads know poor Bill bought the farm in the series as it stands... but you can change all that and decide for yourself which of the original four end up as zombie chowder in 'The Sacrifice'. It tells the story of how the old meet the new hero's and all the zombie and guts filled fun in between. The DLC will be usable in the single player and all multi player modes for either of the games, class eh! Its free to PC gamers (yay Valve!) but will cost 560msp on Xbox (Booo Microsoft!) and will be here well in time for the ghoul fest of Halloween when it hits on October 5th! I do love the season of spookiness!

Portal 2 - Co-Op trailer!! Two dummies are better than one!

Sweet baby Jesus, I love Valve! They can do no wrong. Portal was feckin great, Portal 2 looks feckin greater, and now they have a Co-Op mode, all that is left to do is dip the game in gold and perfection is achieved!! Check out the trailer for this mode below, looks like a robot 'Dumb and Dumber' thing going on. They must workout!!

Portal 2 - More gameplay footage.

Check out more action as 'Steve Merchant' (The Office, Extras) errr, I mean 'Wheatley' guides you through the footage... Word is that Portal 2 will be out on the 9th of February, but being a Valve title I still recon the old 'Its ready when its ready' line will override any release date. I could have used one of these portal guns on the bus last week, I was dying to go to the toilet! Shoot, drop, portal plop!

Portal 2 - Meet Wheatley... the friendly AI.

Hmm, a robot eye that talks with an English accent... seems familiar somehow... ehem - Halo. It seems Wheatly is one of a few unique characters we will meet in Portal 2 and already I find him annoying... Wonder if you can launch him into the sky with the grav gun?!

New Counter Strike Source Beta!!!

Now, if I had to pick one shooter to rule them all then this would be it, Counter Strike! It is truly a drug of a game and probably the most accurate skill test for any FPS fan! No puffs allowed!!
Valve are now releasing a beta that will update CSS and bring it up to date. The Beta will include:
- 144 achievements added
- New lifetime player stats and summary screens
- New match player stats and summary screens
- New end of round display with MVP and interesting fact about a player
- Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures
- New cinematic death camera - New domination and revenge system
- Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display
- Incorporated many source engine updates

Now if I was a betting ghoul then I would say that this is the first step in making Counter Strike more console friendly, which can only be a good thing right? Lets just not mention the dodgy release on the original xbox... oops, just did!

Left 4 Dead 2 - The Passing promo Vid

Francis, dude... Dont be so vein and be happy you werent the one to get Axed! Good stuff...

Left 4 Dead 2 - The Passing - Coming this Week!!

Well meat heads here's some pleasantly surprising zombie news for ya! Get ready to become walking snack boxes again cos the previously delayed add on for L4D2 is coming this week... Thursday April the 22nd to be exact. 'The Passing' will contain a new campaign, new baddies, new weapons and help crossover the cast of Left 4 Dead one into the new Left 4 Dead two... But Valve have promised that there is MORE!!!! A whole new game type called 'Mutations'. There are up to 20 objective types within this mode and will circulate from week to week using all the map locations to date in L4D2. One example is 'Chainsaw mode' which will probably end up similar to a reenactment of the Evil Dead, sweet! The DLC will cost Xbox 360 owners 560msp and PC users get it for free, cheers Valve, screw you greedy Microsoft... either way its a must get I recon!

Portal 2 - Chell - Hot or Not?

In terms of Gamer Babes there have been a few, from the hot totty Lara Croft to the hair wearing chick of Bayonetta, women are a part of gaming whether they want to be or not and for mostly the wrong reasons, which is why dudes love games... makes sense now eh! Portal's chick 'Chell' never really struck me as one of the gang, but perhaps this will change in Portal 2... what ya recon?

L4D2 Glitch - Funny!

Well boys and girls, there is quite simply 'fook all' going on at the moment in the game world, and what is going on is too boring to report. I guess everybody is too busy wading through all the big releases over the last month... I know I am! Anyway, here's a lil glitch in L4D2, its quite funny actually, like dancing on ice crossed with a floating retard. Enjoy!

Left 4 Dead 2 - Midnight Riders - Metal Death!!!

Well, today's the day! Left 4 Dead 2 is out and I have my copy just waiting to overheat my Xbox. The game now has its own Metal Band 'Midnight Riders' which you will get a hint of in the 'Dark Carnival' campaign, keep those eyes peeled. The rumours are that they may be a bigger part of L4D2 in the form of future DLC... that would be very cool! I can just see it now, smashing Zombies with a microphone and throwing Hi-hats for decapitations... They even have their own web site, check it out here. You can also hear them here... yes! I said hear them, as in music! Zombies and Metal... does it get any better?

Left 4 Dead 2 - Viral AD...

Total Shawn of the Dead humour here... not overly funny but amusing all the same. There is plenty of blubber to go around anyway... you will understand at the end.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Zombie survival trailer - Get out the chainsaw!!

This is a must see... some real nice fmv sequences on how to survive the zombie Apocalypse! It also give us some insight to the characters...

Left 4 Dead 2 - Scavenge Mode Vid!

Left4Dead2 - Multiplayer footage - Its scary!
