Fallout 3 (one of the best games of last year) is coming out with yet another DLC expansion on PC and Xbox 360. While I have to admit I sent my copy of Fallout 3 back to Gamefly after I beat it and have not played any of the expansions, I’m still pretty impressed with all the expansions that Bethesda has been releasing to keep their game alive and Fallout fans happy. Those of you that still have your copy of the game can purchase the DLC for 800 MS Points ($10).

After an impressive initial showcasing at the E3 Expo in 2005; Huxley, an FPSMMORPG (first person shooter massive multiplayer online role playing game) that uses the Unreal Engine 3 and was once said to be the game that would revolutionize the MMO industry has fallen off the map. Release dates constantly being pushed back and little updates on information about the game have killed almost all the buzz that Huxley once had. Huxley mixes the gameplay components of FPSs like Unreal Tournament 3 and MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Anarchy Online. Click the jump for more information and video of the walkthrough. (more…)

Honestly, there is only one reason that you must have Prototype and that’s because it looks badass. When I first saw trailers for this game I was speechless. I want to say this game looks like Grand Theft Auto on crack… but Crackdown was the result of Grand Theft Auto on crack. This game is far beyond Crackdown. Prototype looks like Grand Theft Auto on acid. Prototype comes out this June and if you haven’t seen or heard about this game, I strongly suggest checking the HD for the top ten reasons you must have Prototype after the break. (more…)

After the success of Mountain Dew’s Halo 3 Game Fuel flavor back in 2007, Mountain Dew has announced plans to release two new World of Warcraft inspired drinks this Summer. The Horde Citrus Cherry flavor looks to be the same as Game Fuel, which is good because the original Game Fuel was amazing and I miss it. It’s been hard to find good soda at grocery stores ever since bottled water became so popular. I’m tired of only being able to find regular Mountain Dew at grocery stores! Some of my favorite sodas are the unique Mountain Dew flavors like Game Fuel, Voltage and Pitch Black. I’ll be buying these by the case come Summer.
