Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending Look, I’m not normally one to get all hot and bothered by the stuff people that don’t play games say about game. But this rant, by CNN’s Glenn Beck? As a gamer I’m stumped. But as a gamer and a history grad, I’m…less than amused. It’s like a one-two punch with ignorance-coated knuckle-dusters. [thanks James!]
It’s not that Matt Damon doesn’t like the action-heavy Bourne game, it seems he just doesn’t like video games! Lev Chapelsky from Blindlight says they’ve tried to get him in games before, but Damon’s not all that keen. Blindlight is responsible for helping to put Robert Downey Jr. in the Iron Man game and Edwart Norton into The Incredible Hulk game. According to Chapelsky:
Don’t know why Capcom bothered with all these. There’s 14 shots of Lost Planet: Colonies here, and they really only needed to send one, because when you show Frank West in naught but his Capcom-flavoured undies, we kinda get all distracted…
Yup. Another one. Well, another three, to be precise. Sony Japan have just announced that they’ll be releasing a new PS3 bundle – The “Metal Gear Solid 4 Welcome Box” – to tie-in with the release of MGS4 next month. The bundle will be released on June 12, will retail for ¥49,800, and will include a 40GB PS3, Sixaxis, a vanilla copy of MGS4 and a DualShock 3. It’ll be available in all three Japanese colours: black, white and silver (both controllers will be the same colour as the console), and will be offered for a limited time only. More pics, and the presser, after the jump.
No surprises here! None at all! Japan’s Dengeki Online polled a few of its readers, asking “Which video game do you want remade?” The results are:
The PAL PlayStation Store’s usual slim pickings gets somewhat of a free pass this week, as with GTA IV upon us I can’t imagine too many people clamouring for PSP demos or wallpapers. It’s still slim pickings, however. No Echocrome, no PS3 demos, just Ape Quest for the PSP and some Need for Speed DLC.
It just won’t stop. And you can be damn sure Uwe Boll will do everything he can to make sure it doesn’t. That’s right, we’re back for another round of Boll vs. Bay in which crappy low budget director Uwe Boll and crappy big budget director Michael Bay butt heads! Boll said in an exclusive video:
Hi here’s Uwe Boll, I’m very happy to say the fight is on. Boll Vs. Bay. It’s a rumble in the jungle 2, it will be in Kinshasa, Zaire. I think September 30th will be the fight. Boll against Bay. He agreed to do it, I’m very proud of it. So if you want to be live there you need ten tickets from Postal opening May 23rd. You bring these tickets and this will be the entry to the boxing fight, Boll against Bay. Or you can buy tickets on eBay or wherever else you can buy it, of course also, but I think the cheapest way is with the Postal tickets. OK, so Michael Bay, start training and I think you will go down to be honest. I think round three or round four you will go down in history, not only for the worst war movie ever: Pearl Harbor, no, also for the worst boxer in the ring against Uwe Boll ever. Thank you.
Uwe Boll, publicity genius. Video after the jump.
Forget the list Miyamoto made. That one was an internet popularity contest, and considering the mobilisation powers of Nintendo fanboys, his prominence should surprise nobody. What is a pleasant surprise, however, is the presence of some gaming luminaries on the real Time 100, the list put together by the magazine themselves. They’ve honoured Harmonix’s Alex Rigopolous and Eran Egozy, both for their innovation with Guitar Hero & Rock Band, as well as the knock-on effect of saving “classic rock for generations to come”.
