If you follow this site then you know we, from time to time, hit dry periods... well this isn't such a time! We are actually in the process of making the site better and relocating to a more pro setup than 'Blogger'. As a result we have been busy doing tecky stuff and have missed a few beats... such as the announcement of Modern Warfare 3 and some other general news bits. Just want to assure you this wont continue for long and we will update you when the new setup is complete... so go easy on those 'WTF?' emails please. In the meantime we will try to keep you informed on stuff as much as possible while juggling our own issues. Thanks for your patience and Cheers for your following. Word!
Mmm Zombies, I love em. Squishy, bloated shit bags that burst open like a ghoulish pinata when poked by sharpened metal. What fun! If you also have a love of all things apocalyptic then you will love the newest FPS 'Dead' game due to hit the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC soon. Its called 'Dead Island' and looks like a Hawaii setting infested with retarded meat heads ready for mincing. Is this just another L4D attempt? Perhaps, but whats so wrong with that eh... The cool trailer below will give you the tone its going for and check out the website here for a full rundown on what to expect. Happy zombie stomping!
A stroke of genius here! With just a couple of weeks left to the arrival of Dead Space 2, the lads over at Visceral games have released the vid below as a promo. It involves a bunch of moms checking out the game and giving their thoughts. Though their dislike for the game is predictable its is still fun to witness... and as they say - its a great way to know if something is good!They hate it... good news for us!
Well boys and girls, I hope you had a great Christmas and got to catch up on the mountain of backlogged games over the holiday while avoiding the homicide of the Christmas madness? We are all still feeling a bit full and over liquefied after it all but are keen to start reporting bits and bobs from the gaming world. Unfortunately, there is nothing of real interest to report, sweet FA in fact, how disappointing. Soon we will have some more tasty titles such as Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm ect. But not yet, currently its just 'Dead'. Keep an eye out for more to come though cos once things start movin and groovin we will be on its ass like Wacko Jacko on Bubbles... I mean that in a heterosexual way of course. Now, where did I leave those turkey legs... slurp.
Miss the Spike TV VGA 2010 awards and all those lovely trailer reveals... well fear not. Below are the results and will will have the teasers in our next post for your mental masturbation pleasure. Well done Red Dead Redemption, and all the other winner - well deserved! All results seem pretty bang on the money for a change, that said Spikes VGA awards usually are pretty accurate. Also here the reveals and announcements of whats on the way:
Wooh Hoo, the zombies are coming! How do you kill a walking shit bag when you don't have the luxury of shopping mall items to beat them with, nor automatic weapons/pipe bombs to blow them to bits??? Personally I would run like hell but in Red Dead you will have to BBQ zombies or douse them in holy water... oh and of course theres shotguns and dynamite as optional extras! Looking forward to some good old wild west zombie slaying, it cant come soon enough I recon! Check out the two trailers below for the crispy fleshed out details.
As yes, I remember being a young man playing the first MK with friends many years ago, the drinking, the slagging, the sore thumbs... those were the days! Although we pretty much have done that with different games over the last two decades anyway, but still... ya cant beat nostalgia. Well now its back and is coming to a realm near you, we just don't know when. Check out one of my favourite characters to play as - Scorpion. I like his big chain... oops pardon!
Nice bit of atmosphere building in this new trailer for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I know its all been about the multi player so far but personally I'm looking forward to the single story mode and it is looking pretty good I recon. Its out next month so get ready to sharpen the blades and kill some pedo's, the Assassin's are coming! 
We have some bad news boys and girls, The Gamer Expo that was set to take place over the October weekend in Dublin, Ireland, has been postponed due to a technical hitch. Our sympathies go out to the lads organising it! On a more pleasant note, we have been assured that the Expo will have a new date, possibly early on in the new year! We imagine that it will give the Expo even more time to add more great features to its line up, so perhaps it will be for the better in the long run. If you have bought tickets to the event the lads will honour this, just get in touch with them. You can see the official line below. We will of course let you know any new info on the event and a new date as soon as we hear it. Looks like the Reaper Crew will have to host our own little Halloween gaming party and put on something scary, for us that means dressing up like normal people while talking about politics and other 'mature' type shit! Arg!
Microsoft are actually going to give you 800msp for Free!! No shit! Oh, hang on, there is some shit... You must first spend 2400msp on Xbox live. Oh, and it must be done within the month of October! You will get your free points at the end of November - if you splashed enough cash previously of course. So I'm not too sure if this is such a great deal, handy if you already planned on buying stuff I guess. If you live in France or Italy, I'm afraid this offer isn't open to you for some bizarre reason... maybe its because u is like ultra European or just better looking than most races?! Anyway, you have been informed... Enjoy your not-so-free-free-msp!
Bungie are not ones to rest on their ass, time is money after all! They have already announced a free co-op add on coming soon for Reach and now a new, not so free map pack - 'The Noble Map pack', due for download on November 30th. It will go for 800msp, (which is allot cheaper than COD maps) and will contain 3 new playgrounds - Tempest, Anchor 9 and Breakpoint. It will also have new achievements adding up to a 250 points gamer score. Check below for picks and the official word about each map.Lots of fun... 
Yipie-de-do partner, its about to rain zombies on poor old John Marston as we are in for some nice Red Dead single player action... At Last!!! 'Theres Men eating their wives'... and I thought this was a game about zombies!? Check out the latest trailer, its ghoulish and I bet 'coming soon' means Halloween, yeehaw! 
Get ready to hide in the shadows and play with your sword... no this isn't a game of picking up hookers its AC Brotherhood and it will be out next month! In the meantime check out the vid below for the background of what to expect in the story mode part of the game. This also reveals that Rome wont be the only location in the game, we are also going to Spain, woo hoo, Sun, Sea and Sangria...
Want a good way to pass you day? Well look no further than my esteemed colleagues below for some truly kick ass podcasts! I've said it all before, I know... but I'll keep saying it! - These guys are the best in the gaming world at what they do, so listen up beeattcchh!!

Epic Battle Axe - Tony, Daniel, and Brent grind the Axe on the games industry with lots of laughs and well informed opinions on gaming in general. They cut right through the Bullshit! If ya like a slash of Metal in your gaming then ya will love this! Its my favourate!
Giant Bomb - Vinny, Brad, Jeff and Ryan talk about games and everything under the sun with lots of laughs. Covering a broad spectrum of the gaming industry these ex GameSpot dudes know their games! Goes on for ages but is fun all the way. 
G4TV - Adam Sessler and his panel have a chat about all that’s going on, quite informative with differing opinions that often lead to debate. Hit and miss depending on the topic. There is also a wide range of other video/pod cast programmes here, Sesseler's Soapbox is also among our fav’s. 
Aww Jesus! Its all war today! More testosterone filled nut sacks with guns in Call of Duty Black Ops, this time its all about what you can customise for the multi player. It sure looks like theres loads going on here, just check out the vid below for the details. Show me the Munny MoFo!!
Homefront looks pretty cool with the whole invasion on home soil theme and not a quiffed 'Patrick Swaze' in sight! For those of you old enough to cop that little reference then you will remember 'Red Dawn' in all its 'America - Fuck Ya!' 80's type sentiment... it was great! If you don't know it... look it up ya lazy geek! Homefront is looking like that vibe of game but for modern times, personally I think it looks like a shit load of fun even if it might only be a play and throw away title. That said, is there room for another modern war game at the moment? Time will tell... Check out the multi player trailer below, not allot of actual playing going on though... still, looks nice - "Go Wolverines".
The latest news that EA have backed down and renamed the 'Taliban' to 'Insurgents', or some suck cak, doesn't take away the fact that this game looks very realistic and pretty kick ass! Check out this 'Danger Close' trailer below and you will see what I mean, especially at the end... Ka-Boom! Why don't the just call the baddies 'Durka Durkas'?! Works for me!
