WRUP: Best laid plans edition

admin — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:15:00 PST

Filed under: X3F Features

This week is all about Left 4 Dead around Fanboy Towers. Given our time with the game, we're beginning to think the automated Nerf turrets serve as a poor line of defense against zombie invasion. Also, we're sorry to report that one of our writers has suffered a great loss this week. We're talking, of course, about the dreaded Red Ring of Death. See what we've been playing below, and don't forget to tell us what you're playing in the comments.

Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM): Not one hour after finishing Dead Space (which was very good, by the way), I got the Red Ring of Death. After waiting all year to get my hands on Left 4 Dead, my box dies the day before it releases. Grrr. I bought the game anyway and managed to play it on my brother's Xbox. It's very, very fun and I lament that I'm unable to play it right now. Beyond that, I've been playing an unhealthy amount of A Kingdom for Keflings through means I'm not allowed to discuss. Also, I dug up Quest for Glory 4, which is my personal favorite in the series, and have been playing it on my Mac via DOSBox.

Dustin Burg (SuperDunners): I'll be continuing my quest for completion of wave 50 in Gears of War 2's Horde, trying to figure out why I'm so bad at the speed runs in Mirror's Edge and (if I have a few friends) will be giving Left 4 Dead a spin in the old 360 disc drive. Locust killing, building jumping and zombie mutilation FTW

Xav de Matos (Snypz): This week has been mostly about getting things prepared for next week -- we have surprises in store -- so I haven't been spending enough time with the Xbox. My love/hate relationship with Mirror's Edge continues, Mortal Kombat vs. DC has kept me somewhat busy for a few days. Now that everyone around the office is getting copies of Left 4 Dead, I'll have to find the time to play. Apologizes to Alexander and former Joystiq'er Jared Rea for throwing that Molotov Cocktail in the room we were all hiding in... it was a good plan while it lasted.

After the break we used our blogging powers to embed a new Last Remnant trailer, its big launch trailer, which is brimming with ego, long hair and swords. You know, Square Enix really loves their swords. Square Enix also loves their long blond locks of hair and kitty beasts with four arms. Square Enix also loves to ... love.

Ninja Blade theme unlocks Avatar ninja-wear

Filed under: News, Xbox Live Marketplace

Even though we'll be receiving some free Avatar apparel in the weeks to come, we've always been keen to Microsoft's plan to monetize Avatars. Now, thanks to a lil' ninja game by the name of Ninja Blade, we finally have our first set of paid Avatar duds.

Purchasable for 250 Microsoft points, the Ninja Blade (premium) theme can be purchased and not only comes with theme wallpapers and sets, but also five pieces of ninja clothing for your Avatar. That's right, you can dress your mini-me Avatar to look like a ninja or as we call 'em, a Ninjatar. Pro-tip: Don't expect priced Avatar goods to go away.

Open Question: gears and halo on ps3..??? wtf?

admin — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:26:28 PST

ok,.. i heard rumors ( a friend told me) that gears of wars 1 and 2, and halo is going to come out on ps3. this is the reason ( apparently ): the makers of halo and gears ( sorry i dont know the company name i dont have the games yet and i cant be bothered to looked them up) wanted to make more money, so they're going to release the games on ps3 too so they can make alot more. i am going to buy an xbox 360 only for these games and i might as well get a ps3 if theyre going to come out on ps3 anyway. lets hope that this isnt true. :( if some would be nice enough to help me find if it's true or not thank you for your time :) bl34ch_addict (John DIlag)

Hey you! Yes, you, the fashionable gamer over there. Would you like to learn about Fight Night Round 4 (which won't be made by the studio that made Round 3, incidentally)? Would you like to see the very first glimpse of the game (possibly including Mike Tyson)? Well, according to a new teaser trailer (embedded after the break), you can see exactly that during the Spike Video Game Awards on December 14 at 9:00pm Eastern. Looks like you'd better clear your calendar right now. Or, you know, you could just wait until the next day when the footage will be all over the internet. It's your call, really.
