BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 72: Fear our Shaq Fu!

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Join Steve, Dave, and Jon as they work the mic like vandals. Dave is (again) a PS3 owner, thus making the entire PixelVerdict Crew a bunch of namby-pamby fence sitting panzies who refuse to choose ONE side in the great World Console Wars. Dave rocks the DJ Hero (Renegade Version bitches! Fo’ Reals!), Jon plays some archaic fighting games, and Steve takes Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days for a spin.

Random questions are the order of the day, as Steve, in celebration of the announcement of Street Fighter X Tekken asks for some “Ultimate Fighting game throwdowns”, and Dave wants to know about the cheapest bossfights in video game history, Damn you Heihachi Mishima!

Are you man enough to fight with me? Do you have a suggestion for the most ultimate fighting game showdown? Can you rock two turntables and a microphone? Why not Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

The first trailer will make its presence known on August 17th of 2010.

From Sega, and developer of cult-RPGs, Obsidian Entertainment (Neverwinter Nights 2) comes a new take on the action RPG. Forget outer space and fantasy kingdoms; Alpha Protocol is the world’s first tactical espionage Role player. Will it manage to successfully infiltrate your collection?

NEW RELEASES – June 2010

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

"That guy has my copy of Naughty Bear!"

Well, after the onslaught that was may, June delivers a barrage of less… desirable prospects:

June 1st
- Alpha Protocol (multi)
- Backbreaker (multi)

June 8th
- Green Day Rock Band (multi)
- Sniper: Ghost Warrior (Xbox360, PC)
- Metal Gear solid: Peace Walker (PSP)
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (multi)

June 15th
- Kid Adventures: Sky Captain (wii)
- Naval Assault: The Killing Tide (xbox360)
- Toy Story 3 (multi)

June 22nd
- Transformers: War for Cybertron (multi)

June 29th
- Lego Harry Potter (multi)
- Singularity (multi)
- The Last Airbender (wii)
- Trinity Universe (PS3)
- Naughty Bear (multi)

I’m dug into Alpha Protocol right now, and enjoying it somewhat (look for a review later this week), but the rest of the month looks pretty barren for me (I may take the plunge and buy another PSP game that will just sit on the shelf un-played).

How about you guys? Looking forward to another Transformers game that may not suck? Perhaps muggles made of Legos are in your future? Another time-twisting FPS? Rocking out to Green Day, perhaps? Do tell!

NEW RELEASES – May 2010

Monday, May 10th, 2010

It's about damn time!

With warmer temps comes a hotter release schedule, as May conspires to keep you indoors instead of out soaking in the late Spring sun! Everyone gets a bit of love this month, except for you portable guys, screw you and your capable of playing games while hangin’ outside portable machines!

5/04
- Iron Man 2 (multi)

5/11
- Lost Planet 2 (Multi)
- Skate 3 (Multi)
- Batman: Arkham Asylum – Game of the Year Edition (Multi)
- 3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
- Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer (PC)

5/18
- Split Second (Multi)
- Shrek Forever After (Multi)

5/25

It feels like i’ve been waiting forever for Red Dead Redemption, and 3D Dot Game Heroes has definitely raised an eyebrow. Alan Wake looks like a winning single player title, and My credit card moans at the thought of reactivating my Age of Conan account. what’s going to keep all of you guys inside this May?

Steve’s pick for best of the month: RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Lord of the Rings: The War in the North announced!

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

I have some incredibly fond memories of Snowblind Studio’s Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance on the Playstation 2, and Champions of Norrath was one of the great unsung action RPG’s of the PS2 era. The idea of a new Snowblind RPG on Xbox360, Playstation 3, and PC’s excites me enough, but setting it in Middle Earth? Well, lets just say i’m incredibly excited! No, it ain’t quite the “Elder Scrolls set in Middle Earth” that i’ve been looking forward to since EA canned “The White Council“, but it’s one hell of a fantastic start!

It’s coming in 2011! Hopefully EARLY 2011.

Dragon Age II? Could it Be?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So I cracked open a copy of the hot off the press Dragon Age expansion from the suddenly prolific RPG gurus at Bioware only to discover the following card inserted into the game’s packaging:

Sorry for the crappy webcam pic, awash as it is with overhead flourescent lighting, but you can clearly see a nice rendering of the Dragon Age poster child, the Blood Dragon, and a single date…

02/01/2011

Dragon age II? Another Dragon Age expansion? Your guess is as good as mine. Either way i applaud Bioware’s brilliant efforts at teasing the crap out of us. Given the relatively distant date given, my money is on a sequel.
