Grand Theft Auto V Trailer

Just released today:

Danger 5

Nazis?  Check.  Dinosaurs?  Check.  Cheesy 1960's filters, colors, and syle?  Check.  World War II setting?  Check.  Thunderbirds level of special effects?  Check.  Over the top acting?  Check.  The makings of an awesome parody?  Check!

I need to see this ASAP!

Battlefield 3 James Bond Style

There are two things I love about the Battlefield series of games: the first is the sense of unity and cohesiveness you can really get out of a squad and team that works well together and the second is all the crazy shit people come up with... like the following vid.

Video Game Legacy

Battlefield 3 Horn Warfare Exclusive DLC

Zombie In A Penguin Suit

This is worth the 7 minutes to watch and is really well done.

Steam Halloween Sale

Steam is powering through a Halloween sale going on now. Check it out HERE.  As you can guess, all the games are horror or vaguely Halloween themed.

Some standouts, IMHO are:

F.E.A.R. 3 for $ 29.99
Bioshock 2 for $ 4.99
Borderlands for $ 4.99
Amnesia (which I *HIGHLY* recommend) for $ 4.00
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle for $ 8.74
Dead Space $ 13.59
Zombie Driver for $ 2.50
Silent Hill Homecoming for $ 13.59 (I'm a sucker for Silent Hill games)
Left 4 Dead 2 for $ 6.79
Resident Evil 5 for $ 9.99

And a host of others.  Even if you own some of these already, this is a great time to buy a copy as a gift for a friend who may not.

Graphical Interface On Your Wrist?

Is this a cool concept or useless one?

DC Universe Will Be Free To Play

More and more MMOs are following the Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online model and are becoming Free To Play (Now With Microstransactions!) and Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe will follow suit on November 1, 2011.  I've never played Everquest or its sequel.  Nor have I ever played the mother of all MMOs, World of Warcraft, because of the Pay Per Month or Pay To Play models they incorporated.  I've always understood why those games charged for their games that way, but I never wanted to be a part of it.  Then D&D Online took a bold step and switched from Pay-to-Play to Free-to-Play and the game's popularity and in-game population skyrocketed.  Many other MMOs have also recovered from losses from switching to that model and I'm glad to see that DC Universe is going to as well.  Now's your (free) chance to become a super hero in the DC Universe.  Details about the different account packages available can be found HERE.

FYI City of Heroes, another superhero genre MMO, has also switched from Pay-to-Play to Free-to-Play (details HERE).
