That's no Moon!

Speaking about Star Wars: The Old Republic Activision Blizzard's CEO Bobby Kotick has questioned whether BioWare's upcoming MMOG will make any money for publisher EA.

 - Dementia finally kicked in -

How can he say it when the game is called "WoW killer" and many of the Warcraft players already left and are eagerly awaiting Star Wars?

It's from the same company. How can it not work?

Well...

The other side of the coin

 Today's topic? Piracy. Again!!

- Oh don't be like that -

Serious Sam 3 developer, Fork Parker, commented that Serious Sam 3 "combats piracy by being a fun, frantic game and offers wild ass 16-player campaign co-op."

And he has got more.

What did you call me?

Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Know that game? Want it for the PC? Too bad.


Instead PC gamers get Ghost Recon Online.

‘Why’, you ask? Senior producer Sebastien Arnoult has the answers. Or at least, some answers. “When we started Ghost Recon Online we were thinking about Ghost Recon: Future Solider; having something ported in the classical way without any deep development, because we know that 95 per cent of our consumers will pirate the game.”

What?

25 November 2011

Weekend

Another week, another video. Have fun.

 

And a bonus one:

24 November 2011

Good news everyone

Gamestop will stop selling used games. At least in Canada.

- WWWoooooooooo -

Wait. What's that?

What they are stopping is the distinction between "new" and "used" games (at least in Canada)?

23 November 2011

Game Group shares plummet

The experts of "Sure we'll buy your game. Here's 5 bucks" and then resell the game for 45$ saw their share fall 57%.

On November 16 the company announced that instead of full-year revenue being between flat and three per cent down from last year, it expected it to fall by at least seven per cent. 

- I'm sure the results were that good.... yeah.... -

LoL is bigger then WoW

But aren't both a 3 letter word?

I'm talking about League of Legends and World of Warcraft.

League of Legends has surpassed 11 million active players, giving it a bigger number of players than World of Warcraft’s 10.3 million and having more than four times Skyrim’s 250,000 concurrent PC players


A huge infographic follows just to help get a better scale of things.

Telltale tell us a tale

This is the tale of Telltale that decided to tell the tale of how awesome their game is.

Problem?


So they decided to put matters into their own hands.

18 November 2011

Weekend!

Friday finally arrived! I'll leave you with Devil May Cry Movie trailer.

- Looks good -

Nintendo Y U NO make Mario Party Deluxe

Anyone that hosted a party and had a Nintendo console to help entertain the guest certainly knows about Mario Party.

- Just look at them eager to beat each other up to earn coins and stars -

Released first in the Nintendo 64 and making its way all to the Wii, the game is known for its party game elements, including the often-unpredictable multiplayer modes that allow play with up to four (and sometimes eight) human players. Imagine playing Monopoly with your friends but between turns you go outside to skateboard between flaming pillars of death and jumping rivers just to see who got extra paper money in the next round.

- Not as friendly as you imagine -

Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 3 (Singleplayer)

It's time for Battlefield Modern Warfare 3.

Me first feeling about the game, at least for the first couple of hours, was pretty much the same as for Battlefield.


But then.

11 November 2011

Friday!

Fun fun fun fun. Looking forward to the weekend?


- Put barrel on all things! -

Have fun with the Modern Warfare's and the Skyrim's everyone.

Steam - You too?

Hide your accounts, hide your credit cards cause they hacking errbody out here.

 - Not you too Antoine!!! -

The target this time was Steam.

10 November 2011

Modern Warfare 3. I'm sure this one will be real life.

Now it's time for Battlefield 3 Modern Warfare 3.

- Still can't pick then apart -

And thus continues the battle of "x platform has totally better graphics bro".

Let us see shall we?

2012 GOTY announced

Wow. Just now we decided that Battlefield Skyrim Zelda Modern Warfare 3 was the game of the year and a bomb fell when they announced the 2012 GOTY.

"As we focus on 2012, we have a strong product pipeline which features a minimum of two highly-anticipated new titles from Blizzard Entertainment, including Diablo III, and a new Call of Duty game from Activision Publishing," Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement accompanying the publisher's quarterly report.

The damn game prints so much money they decided to keep it going.
I guess people like map packs that much.


1.1 11-11-11 !!!111!!!oneoneoneeleven

11-11-11 is going to be a big day.

 - Man I can't wait -

But something else is coming out. 

08 November 2011

Bioware - Why isn't this on private mode?

Bioware made an oopsie.

- Oh oh -

Mass Effect 3 Beta was released to some Xbox Live subscribers. Was it supposed to? No. The reason?

07 November 2011

Karma sucks

Battlefield GOTY Modern Warfare 3 is up to a rough start. 6000 copies where stolen from a truck.

- Oh no -

TFI news reports that the truck that was transporting the precious cargo suffered a collision with a car on saturday morning in Créteil, south Paris, before two masked individuals emerged.

Modern Warfare 3 aims for the stars

Gamesindustry reports that Battlefield Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is expected to make 1.1 billion dollars in its first six weeks.

- Daring -

Maybe Battlefield Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will bring something new. I don't now. Like helicopters tanks cutscenes quick time events hero main protagonist russians cats? Hell if I know.

But it is off to a good start since there are people paying 1000$ for it.

Happy weekend

Another week that passes. Everyone ready for the great gaming month still ahead of us? I sure am.

Duke Nukem isn't that bad?

Brian Martel (one of the dudes at Gearbox) claimed: "Everybody should really be thankful that it existed to some degree at all", when talking about that major (failure) game: Duke Nukem Forever.

- Don´t bet on this Duke. Bad idea -

But what where they expecting? Not the low scores thats for sure: "I think that if we were going to review the reviews fairly, no."

Battlefield 3 (Multiplayer)

"Headcrab, Headcrab. You're just talking about Battlefield 3 Singleplayer. The true value is in multiplayer." Yeah yeah. Fine. I'm talking about Battlefield 3 again. You're lucky Modern Warfare Generic Shooter 3 Part 2 hasn't come out yet.

So let's do this. Battlefield 3. Again.

- Oh boy -

03 November 2011

Steve Jobs is what?

Look. Let me get this out of the way first. I got nothing against the man. But seriously...

Top five people to have shaped video games:
  1. Steve Jobs
  2. Gabe Newel
  3. Shigeru Miyamoto
  4. Tim Berners-Lee
  5. Mark Zuckerberg

But we just want to help

As everyone knows EA makes you install Origin and jump through a bunch of hops just to play Battlefield 3.

- Good... good my pets -

But those that want to play without Origin just got a present.

02 November 2011

Oh right. GTA V

Would you look at the time? It's trailer o'clock.


The Headcrab Reviews: Battlefield 3 (Singleplayer)

So I've finally completed Battlefield 3 campaign, and am now ready to review. Despite the bugs, bland story and overall been there done that feeling, I bravely ventured into the game, and now will share my thoughts with everyone.


But be warned: This review will most likely change your whole life. Forget everything you've learned and get ready to get you socks knocked off. And I don't mean in a "wow that was pretty true". No no no no no.

I mean in a "holy crap my whole life is now turned upside down". You children will feel the ripple effects of this review. Your grandchildren will feel it. Your great grandchildren will probably miss it but your great great grandchildren will be all like "Jesus Christ my mind is blown".

- Holy crap this is so hardcore -

So are you ready? Are you ready to hear what is my opinion on one of this years Game of the Year contender? Are you ready to know how this ultra modern with state of the art graphics and snizzle fares in this modern world?

So here we go. Read on and find the truth... if you dare.
