Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC Now Available

Paul Curtin — Tue, 05 May 2009 08:33:20 +0000

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).

New Huxley Gameplay Walkthrough Video from GDC 2009

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.

One of the main problems for Huxley’s lack of buzz amongst U.S. gamers is that all of Huxley’s media has been in Korean due to the game being developed by Webzen, a game publisher located in South Korea. Although bad news has just surfaced about the Xbox 360 version being put on hold, G4 has just released a English version of a developer walkthrough from GDC 2009 that takes a look at one of the cities, PvE combat, PvP combat, classes, abilities and more. Huxley is supposed to be released late this year, but then again it was also supposed to be released in late 2006…

This game just keeps looking better and better. Batman: Arkham Asylum uses of the Unreal Engine 3 and looks beautiful. Check out this new gameplay footage in which the game’s director, Sefton Hill, walks you through the Silent Knight Challenge Mode and shows off predator gameplay. I must say the video is impressive and this game is looking very promising. Hit the jump for the HD video.

Top Ten Reasons You Must Have Prototype HD Gameplay Trailer

Paul Curtin — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:05:42 +0000

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.

New World of Warcraft Mountain Dew Flavors This Summer

Paul Curtin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:32:57 +0000

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.

Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack Released Today For FREE

Paul Curtin — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:39:54 +0000

The Titan Pack for Unreal Tournament 3 can be downloaded today from the Playstation Store for free. The Titan Pack’s downloadable content includes:

Two new gametypes: Greed and Betrayal
The Titan mutator which allows players to transform into a 15-foot monster
19 maps
The Link Station and X-Ray Field deployables
The Stinger Turret and Eradicator Cannon weapons
The Stealthbender vehicle
The Slow Field power-up
New characters Kana and Nova

Greed is a fast-paced, “tug of war” style mode in which you swipe the skulls of fallen players and unload them at the enemy base to score points. Silver skulls are worth a point, gold skulls represent five points, and red skulls are 20 points.

UT3 players can already enjoy the title update portion of the Titan Pack for PS3, which incorporates a long list of enhancements, including split-screen support, an integrated mod browser, 57 Trophies, major visual and menu flow upgrades, significant A.I. improvements, overhauled networking performance, and better mod support.

I spent all summer playing UT3 on Xbox 360 and think it’s one of the most underated FPS’s of all time. The only problem I had with the game was that nobody else played it and most games would have to fill spots with bots. The Titan Pack is only available on PC and Playstation 3. Epic Games has stated that they have no plans to release the new content on Xbox 360. Looks like I’m going to have to trade in my 360 version and get UT3 on PS3.
