E3 ’10: Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam This Winter

I like colons too. Long-winded and goofy title aside, Bad Company 2 will be getting an expansion pack set in Vietnam by the end of this winter. Sounds exciting, considering the only map packs that have been out so far have been the VIP map packs, which reuse existing maps and rejigger them to fit into different gametypes. At least they’re free and Arica Harbor on Conquest is really something. Bring C4. A lot of it and you’ll do fine. Not much has been said about it. It’s just one of the many announcements from EA’s E3 conference.

E3 ’10: The Old Republic Trailer

E3’s hit the ground running and within this marathon of games is another CG trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Once again, absolutely, 100% not representative of how the game will play, but is absolutely, 100% freakin’ amazing to watch. 

It’s 5 minutes of the Star Wars you wished George Lucas could’ve rendered onto the big screen. Until then, we’ll have to depend on BioWare to make it happen, with maybe a little Obsidian on the side for a Knights of the Old Republic III? I digress. Enjoy this:

E3 ’10: Laser Tag. Seriously.

At Ubisoft’s press conference, they announced “What all gamers have been waiting for,” a laser tag game. I’m not one to judge a game by its E3 demo, (Actually, yea I am) but this looked bad.  Battle Tag is the name. It’ll ship with two guns, two harnesses, and four clip things. To be honest, we […]

True Blood – Bad Blood (Season Premiere)

True Blood is back to solidify its position as one of the most popular shows on TV. Last season had ratings of around 12.5 million a week, which made it the second most watched HBO production after The Sopranos. But can it continue to wow and surprise, or has True Blood lost its bite?

First a quick recap for those, like me, who have the memory of a drunken old woman. There are a multitude of details that I won’t mention, but these are the salient pieces of information that will certainly be important for the upcoming season.

Video Analysis of Kinect

Ray’s not here right now. Well, none of us are… anywhere, but Ray’s currently at E3 and he’s got a chance to have a go with Kinect, Microsoft’s HD camera peripheral. Ray Carsillo had a chance to get a hands on demo with Project Natal, now officially called “Kinect”, and gives his first impressions of the new Xbox 360 peripheral.

Natal now called Kinect – Hands-On Impressions

Due to embargoes and time constraints, I have posted a vlog with my first impressions of a personal demo I was given for Kinect.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
                         

Video Preview of Lara Croft & Guardian of Light

It is one of the most successful franchises in video game history. Tomb Raider has seen the gaming community’s beloved Lara Croft travel from mountain tops and dilapidated temples to the very Underworld itself. Now though, Lara will take on something completely unknown to her, having her game released completely via download.

That’s right. For those of you who are unaware, the next Tomb Raider game, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, is a completely downloadable title, which will be available at the end of this summer on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

I had a chance to sit down with Crystal Dynamics’ Brand Director, Karl Stewart, to talk about their latest entry in the Tomb Raider series. We cover the difficulty of balancing a viable downloadable game while still keeping it true to the series’ roots.
