Okay so this isn’t a prank like our last MW2 screen shot, this is the real deal and ohh boy does it ever look good. From what I can tell the levels so far will be in Russia and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Rio will be home to intense gun fights from the way the city is set up, and look for no places to hide if they go into the favelas cause its tin house city. Looking at the snowy screen shot I can’t help but think about playing multiplayer in the snow (anyone remember GRAW 2’s snow maps?) its going to be awesome! If anymore MW2 news shows up we’ll keep you informed. Peace, Spenny.

This classic arcade style game proves that the Wii is not always so family friendly. House of the Dead: Overkill holds the record for the video game with the most swearing in it with 3% of all it’s dialogue being the word “fuck”. Enjoy!

2k sports recently released these remarkable Bigs 2 screen shots that depict a high level of graffical detail. Seems as though Sony may have some competition this year in Baseball gaming. What do you think?

…just not this week! There’s a lot of stuff going on this week so no DD’s. I’ll have a few next week and then Gamer’s Heaven returns the week of E3. I highly suggest you go HERE to see all of last years E3 goodness!

Peace!

Back in 2005 a studio in Vera, Sweden popped up by the name of Simbin. Simbin’s goal was to bring a fresh new and exciting racing simulator to consoles and PC, so they started working on GTR- Fia GT racing. GTR was supposed to be put out on PC via Atari and Xbox 360 via THQ, Atari held their end of the deal and the PC version got shipped. THQ, on the other hand, backed out and the 360 version didn’t come to fruition. Now fast-forward to 2009, Simbin’s racing sims have been held to the highest standard by gear heads around the globe, yet there has never been a console version. Well gear heads rejoice because Simbin’s Race Pro is upon us and boy does it ever cater to the hardcore. Read the rest of this entry »

Jon tells us why people shouldn’t complain when a 3rd party game goes multiplatform.

These guys keep stepping it up a level. Please make sure you don’t eat before watching this.

Video Games Live is a tour that travels around the world with a live orchestra playing video game music both classic and new generation. It was created in 2002 by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend that if they come to your city to go see it. Unlike most orchestras they want you to cheer and scream when you see a game you love. There’s are screens that have game footage on them as they play the music from the game. They try to make it as fun as possible by including contests and giveaways throughout the performance. The pre-show also had contests including a very fun costume contest (I knew I should have dressed up as Zero Suit Samus).There are also guests throughout the night. They even had Ralph Baer, The Father of Video Games, give a video speech over Skype. I was very excited to meet Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, I even had my picture taken with them! I also got to meet Splitting Adam, the band that did the music for the main song in Need for Speed: Undercover. This was a great performance and any gamer would have a blast listening to their favorite video game music live.

I’ve been waiting for this announcement. Glad to see Bizarre spreading their wings. Between this and Fuel, I’m going to be racing my ass off. Here’s the full release: Read the rest of this entry »

Namco Bandai has granted us some new Dead to Rights: Retribution screen shots. The pictures show a dark and grimy city, the art direction reminded me of condemned 2 for some reason. Retribution is looking like an interesting title and if its even a little bit better then the first its a definite pick up for me. Rest of the pictures after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
