Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack 4 Out Now

Once again, a slate of “new” maps has hit Bad Company 2 and once again, they’re maps that have been modified to function in different gametypes.

Still, it’s one of the more exciting additions. Atacama Desert Rush and Port Valdez Conquest. I mean, sure, absolutely, you know what these maps are, but the kind of gameplay in Rush and Conquest are substantially different from one another and I can’t wait to stop writing this little news article and start getting some games in. Look at what happened to Laguna Presa when it was modified into a Rush mode; it became a new map and I hope the same happens to Atacama and Port Valdez.

Critical Millennium: The Dark Frontier #1

If there’s one thing that’s hard to find, it’s good sci-fi! Thankfully with TV shows and movies breathing new life into the genre its forced other mediums to take it up a notch. Critical Millennium is no exception as it antes up and then raises. It’s a little bit Event Horizon mixed with some Cowboy Bebop and a dash of a post apocalyptic future in which nearly every animal is extinct.

Man has finally created a space ship that is faster than light and designed to reach every corner of the universe. The issue begins with a journal entry from th e captain of the ship as he sits at his post on the bridge. The days and years jump as the captain narrates the ships numerous disasters. Space is more dangerous then any of them knew. The logs end as the captain is removed from his ship by a gigantic space creature.

E3 Interview Roundup

After weeks of editing, I finally finished all my E3 interviews and have set them up in these nice compilations. There are videos for each day, as well as a fourth focusing in on Online and DLC games. I hope that you enjoy them all, and I apologize to everyone for taking so long. It just isn’t easy being a one man content producing monster like myself. Enjoy!

A Single Man Review

You won’t find a more visually immaculate film than A Single Man. Gucci revolutionizer Tom Ford’s film debut, now available on DVD and Blu-ray, is something out of an inch-thick fashion magazine. His eye for beauty and sensuality might be unparalleled in Hollywood with just this one entry. Applied to the story of a man torn apart inside with the loss of his lover as he tries to get through a normal day, A Single Man gets directly inside its protagonist’s head with a barrage of emotion-evoking imagery. Although it sometimes feels like a cologne commercial, it’s a remarkable first effort and a touching story commanded gracefully by Colin Firth.

5 Most/Least Patriotic Comic Characters (Besides Captain America)

The 4th of July is upon us and what better way to celebrate then to take a look at some of the most patriotic comic characters that are out there. Right off the bat we’re going to eliminate Captain America and any of his numerous knock offs (US Agent, Fighting American… Bucky, you get the picture). Instead these are the characters that love this country so much that they bleed red, white and blue.

Trailer Tracker: Harry Potter, Little Fockers, RED, more

It’s that time of the week … or one day past that usual time of the week! That’s right, time for Trailer Tracker where we at Player Affinity brave the bleak and foreboding world of the internet searching for the newest trailers. This week is loaded with good stuff. We start with the much-anticipated full trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as well as two other sequels, Meet the Fockers and the follow-up to last years horror movie phenomenon, Paranormal Activity 2. After that it’s on to retired people kicking ass in Red, Johnny Depp voicing a lizard lost in the Mojave Desert in Gore Verbinski’s Rango, the teaser for David Fincher’s Facebook movie The Social Network and the newest of the bunch, the American remake of the Swedish vampire film, entitled Let Me In, starring Chloe Moretz. 

July Movie Preview

We’re already into July, but the summer is just heating up. June was dominated by family films, with Shrek Forever After, The Karate Kid and Toy Story 3 as the movies that topped the box office. As great as those films are (especially Toy Story 3), summer is supposed to be about the live-action blockbusters be they action films, fantasy adventures, sci-fi thrillers or star-studded comedies. Well, that’s exactly what July 2010 is all about. Time to bring it on.

The Idiot’s Guide (ages 20+) to The Last Airbender

Not really sure what all this The Last Airbender business is about? Neither am I — and neither is anyone born before 1990. Join me as a fumble my way through flash websites, Wikipedia and more in attempt to learn something about one of this summer’s biggest fantasy films. I’ve scrummaged through the elemental nations, character, trailers, clips and more, so at least respect how much time I’ve put in and read.

Twilight Eclipse Gets An 8-Bit Epic

I guess I’ve seen people spend time on stranger things, but this is still really, really strange. This fellow here’s crafted a Twilight Eclipse 8-bit epic, spanning multiple YouTube videos with enough branching paths to warrant two to three playthroughs. Well, not really play, but rather, just to witness how things will pan out. Spoilers: It always ends with people dying.

It’s certainly a game that something like the Twilight series does not deserve, but it’s fun nonetheless. I’m sure the line for Eclipse has already circled around my block and the closest movie theater from where I live is at least 10 miles away. Blergh.
