After recent events in Afghanistan, Infinity Ward have announced a new feature in their forthcoming game Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 4:
“After killing a member of the Taliban, press and hold the square button to whip your cock out and piss on his corpse.” said Brent McMchmuck – Game Designer.
IN GAME FOOTAGE PREVIEW
Saints Row 3 is an absolute corker of a game and exceptionally good fun to play; especially with someone who appreciates the vast amount of crazy humour within the game. Cue Mr Takis A.K.A. ‘Ghostly Yakuza’.
I was lucky enough to win the Saints Row 3 game in an Amazon.com Black Friday deal this week, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it until the price came down a bit! I got my game yesterday, and spent a good hour on it last night driving around the carefully created world so lovingly created by the developers.
You can tell that Saints Row 3 was a labour of love for the people who designed it, it runs so much more fluidly than Grand Theft Auto 4 (which gives me motion sickness) and is a pleasure to just ride around in their fantastic city playworld; stealing cars and shooting random people within the neighbourhood from out the window of a moving vehicle.
The campaign throws you in at the deep end with a really funny parody of the ‘Dead Presidents’ bank heist in one of my favourite films; ‘Point Break’. The oversized mask/heads really made me laugh and that eventually lead to the design of my own character.
Angelo’s Dad is an absolute legend, so I decided to base my character on him, hopefully I did him justice, although I had to settle for a ‘zombie’ voice rather than the heavy Greek tones; the voice somehow fit with the tinted shade glasses and 5 O’clock shadow and we were on our way.
Angelo decided to play with one of his bitches, and promptly played with his character naked (humorously censored I might add!) throughout the game.
NOTHING can quite prepare you for the ‘Whores’ (Hoard) Mode’ which saw me beating hookers up with a giant floppy lightsaber style implement which was actually a massive pink dildo whilst dressed in a dog outfit!
The whole game is just very polished and is fucking nuts, and I can see many an hour being spent doing quests and just sodding about.
Hopefully the videos below convey the enjoyment of the game.

OK, so I sniggered profusely at the ‘Climax’ bit; didn’t everyone outside of Japan?
You’d think the silly fuckers would employ better translators and consultants by now?!?
Afterburner Climax is worth every single one of the 800 points required to purchase it off of Xbox lives marketplace; what a blast from the past (snigger).
I fondly remember when I first played the Afterburner II coin-op as a kid; it would still commandeer my coins even now in the presence of all the new games out there; the Climax game is a fantastic evolution of the original and a good game in it’s own right.
Visually the game is stunning, bright, fast and fluid; you can opt for the new soundtrack or the classic original too. I really like how the Climax weapon and combo setup work. Excellent!!!
There’s a wealth of options which will no doubt keep me very busy trying to get the perfect round.
Buy it!!!!
Gamespot gave ‘Alpha Protocol’ 6 out of 10; personally I can’t agree with that at all, I’d even go as far as giving it 8.5 out of 10.
SEGA has published a really intuitive game, its like an RPG but with some stealthy action thrown in to the mix; the presentation immediately struck a chord with me and I enjoyed the international spy story which your character is involved in.
You can customise your character from the beginning, skill profiles and upgradable attributes are a really nice touch and make for a more arcade feel.
The rpg element allows you to manipulate and infiltrate situations through dialogue choices; kinda reminded me of the ‘Lone Wolf’ adventre books I had as a kid. “Turn page 20 if you want to stab someone in the face!!!!”.
The levels are designed well; and the afore mentioned skill attribute system really changes the dynamic of how you complete a mission depending on what your chap can do.
I’d heartily recommend this game; it was a good distraction on a dreary Bank Holiday Monday and I will keep playing it!
Aren’t Gamespot reviews shite?
I really enjoyed playing ‘Pure Football’ so I thought I’d throw up a quick thread about it.
It’s a 5-a-side game, quite similar to the ‘FIFA Street’ games but with less emphasis on all the poncy skills and more focus on playability. The campaign is enjoyable, and the gameplay is very smooth and stylish.
It’s made by Ubisoft which is a little unexpected, but at £24.99 this game is a bargain; especially if you fancy something a little different to FIFA and Pro-Evolution!
And so we come to it, Microsoft has been carrying out out it’s annual ‘ban wave’ over the last couple of weeks; designed to target the modified console community (or pirates to those in the media) just before the biggest game of the year comes out; oh yes, and Christmas. Pfffftttt.
As per usual, you get the mass media hype saying how pirating is damaging the gaming industry; personally I’d say the damage was done years ago by Sony and it’s aggressive surge into the market but there you are. Alas, I can appreciate how pirating games is naughty, but I can also understand why it brings out a rebellious streak in some who people prefer not to pay £50 a game each time.
What will this mean to those who have had their consoles banned from playing on xbox live? Well, after talking to my friends who have been caught had their legs slapped, I’m of the impression that most will go out and buy a new machine, keep it legit and buy only the very best games to play online; the new Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2 game for example.
Most would probably keep the modded xbox for playing copied games offline and still save a significant amount of money in the long run by doing this. Not a big deal really when you look at it like that is it?
So what have Microsoft gained by doing this? Was it ever about piracy? I don’t really believe it was personally. Who will suffer? US games developers probably because there’s sod all development left in the UK now.
20 million people apparently play xbox live, an estimated 900,000 of those are banned for using modded boxes. If you take the average price of a console as £150.00 then that means that’s £135,000,000 in the coffers IF most go out and buy another machine. £135 million quid!
No, I personally think that this is more about Christmas sales figures, the Nintendo Wii and Slim PS3 have all been flying off the shelves lately, so Microsoft has to get their console sales figures up. What better way to do it than through a ban wave and look to be addressing a piracy issue at the same time? What would be more damaging for the Xbox, 1/20th of it’s online users having modified boxes, or slipping down in the console ranks?
What will I do? Lets just say I intend on writing quite a few ‘early’ game reviews on Antikrish should I have the time 🙂
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr Jim lad!
