Wolfenstein


Welcome back to castle Wolfenstien lets go gets some NAZIS!!!
Wolfinstien is a WWII era game based on the Black MAGIC that Hitler experimented. This re-make of the classic first person shooter by "id" who also created the DOOM first person shooter for PC. In Wolfenstein you play an american agent sent in to stop the Nazi plans for Europe. This is a pretty decent game for WWII game and Sci-fi gamers or people who've played the original.

CAN IT COURTNEY ITS JUST A GAME!


Courtney Love is threatening to sue Activision for inappropriate use of Kurt Coabain's image in the new Guitar Hero 5 game. But the funny thing is Activision claims she signed off on this what's up with that?! The only thing that's redeeming here is now former band members are now asking to lock Kurt's character to Nirvana songs. This is easier said than done b/c the game is already out in stores and who wants to loose there GH5 for a corprate screw up or a dumb blonde?

Apple new video game empire?


Apple released its new i pods and I-tunes software yesterday at Apple's music event. Thought the thing that surprised me most was the New I-touch with a better micro processor that plays Assassins Creed and Madden 1o. Whoa the Assassins Creed is still in production for it's release but, MADDEN 10 is available for the new i touch's release in the app store. This brings up the question what else is apple doing? I've already seen titles like the force unleashed before and now Madden. Is Apple moving into the gaming business to get some leverage over Microsoft? If Apple does introduce a gaming system how popular will it be or will it tank like SEGA. Who knows what the future will hold?

New songs of course and special characters like Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, and Santana. With all the good there has to be weak points in the game GH5 like the GH Studio its still incredibly difficult and probrably not worth not doing, but otherwise its seems like a good game for our Musical Gamer's

SONY IN 3-D? Good or Bad

G4 has let out that Sony plans on making the technology "jump" to 3-D, but is this good or bad for Sony. The Majority of the world has already made the transfer to Plasma and LCD screens. Do they want to spend the money on new Technology just for the added 3-D. Sony is releasing 3-D TV's Vaio laptops, and PS3 gaming systems that play 3-D images. Though how well SONY's new products will sell on the market aside this is a perfect example of how fast technology is moving forward to maybe holograms or perfected 3-D imagery in the home. Til next time

Games that Puzzle you...

G4 released several puzzle game previews today in the X-play podcast . A lot of the games are PC or X-BOX LIVE MARKETPLACE downloads but the graphics are incredible and artistic. Though the replay value of the games seem kind of iffy. But if you enjoyed games like Donkey Kong Country, Portal, and Astroids these are perfect games for you.
