Weekly Update: No Snappy Title.

Good News Everyone!

I have developed a device that forces you to read this update in my voice!

Well, the Bad Company 2 Co-op Mode released yesterday for 800 MSP. For celebration, this weekend we shall play Bad Company 2 multiplayer.

I'm not sure what the Left 4 Dead 2 Mutation is this week since I haven't played it in forever. Find out for yourself.

Anyway, I'm afraid I have terrible news. It took a few years but hackers have finally found away to crack Halo 3's coding. Not two hours ago, an FB Jester logged into Live and managed to implement a hack which gives him 100% auto aim with headshot and Invincibility into matchmaking. Be wary if you search 50 high. Even if he gets banned, this proves that this kind of hack is possible, and we'll see it more in the future, unfortunatly.

Alright, dismissed.

last week's update. E3 briefing

Shut up, I know I said Monday and it's tuesday.

Lots of things were announced at E3, very little that were of interest of non-motion gamers. My 5 favorites were:

5. Assassin's Creed 3's Co-op mode

4. Firefight in Halo Reach Being customizable (think Halo 3's Custom games options. Double that and attach it to Firefight)

3. Kevin Butler's Speech during the Sony press conference.

2. Portal 2


1. Gears of War 3's Beast mode (Horde where you play as locust. And not just the grubs.)


HM: Nintendo remembering that they make games, not work-out simulators.



Worst:

5. Assassin's Creed 3 Multiplayer versus. (Bioshock couldn't pull it off, I doubt Creed will either.)

4. Portal 2 getting delayed till 2010

3. Too many sequels.

2. The new Xbox 360. It looks like a PS3 ate a Wii. Plus it will be hell to transfer files if you got an old one first. And 250 GB HDD?! Thats like saying Fuck You to everyone who got an original xbox 360. You know, the ones who spent $350 for a model with a "20GB" HDD which only could use 12GB max. If it is available in white it would look better.

1. Kinect and everything it stands for.

HM: The 3DS.

Hey if portal 2 got delayed, so can this blog.
