dEv~ 19 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Let the countdown begin...The first NHL 12 Screenshot. What's new to you?Former Art Ross winner Evgeni Malkin gets ready for the puck to drop in the Winter Classic venue at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. NHL 12 allows you to play at this venue with your favorite teams and battle for supremacy while battling hostile weather conditions.New to NHL 12 is the Action Tracker. During gameplay the Action Tracker will keep track of everything that occurs on the ice. From what area of the net you shooting at most, to where on the ice is your face-off percentage highest – no detail is overlooked. The Action Tracker also automatically saves these events through instant replay, allowing you to go back watch the event anytime during the game.In Be a Pro Revamped, you will have to earn your ice time. You will start off with limited ice time, working your way up the bench until you earn your coaches trust to be put in game changing situations. Start by completing simple tasks such as blocking a shot, or winning a faceoff and your coach will start relying on you more. You will also be able to simulate to your next shift, which makes the experience more seamless and engaging.Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames sends an unfortunate Red Wing back into his bench. NHL 12s new Full Contact Physics Engine gives users the ability to create massive collisions and send opponents over the bench.Former Vezina winner Tim Thomas stretches out in desperation to stop Chicago captain Jonathan Toews. NHL 12 features all new dynamic goalies, this year goalies will react to players crashing the crease, battle through screens and make sprawling desperation saves like never before.https://www.facebook.com/easportsnhlhttp://tlk.tc/j33 - First Video Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Call of Duty to feature monthly subscription?I will believe it when I see it. They said this about MW2 and Black Ops and yet, neither had a monthly fee.Edit: so basically it's bungie.net but not for free. I guess they figured that no one will pay to play so at least you can still play for free. If you are a stat junkie then you can pay $7.99 a month to get what you get for free with Halo titles. Lame.I picked up MW2 this weekend. My disc broke last year I never re bought it. God I am a beast in that game compared to Black Ops. Link to post Share on other sites

I have gotten totally into playing hardcore capture the flag on black ops. Going back to regular core games I really suck at. And then playing hardcore TD sucks cause it seems to be just a camping heaven. I have wanted to pick up COD 4 again and try that one. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I was in a game with you and may have accidentally killed you even though you were on my team. lolI played more MW2 last night and it felt like easy mode. 30-3, 29-6, 29-8, 30-2, 25-2. Then I started sniping and it got worse lol.I still have my COD4 and put it in from time to time. Still a very enjoyable game. WAW is the only one I can't stomach anymore.

NellaKreb 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I just got Addicted to the new Battlestar Galactica MMO.I've never really got down with MMOs, but this one is several levels of Awesomeness. Makes me look forward to this new MMO that's supposed to be coming out this fall and be free. I saw it on AOTS but I forget what it's called. They said something like it's gonna revolutionize MMOs with it's graphics engine and be a serious rival to World Of Warcraft. If anyone knows which one I'm talking about and the name, let me know. Otherwise, I'll post it when I find it.This Battlestar Galactica online is so sick and looks amazing! Off to play more after this post.If anyone's interested: http://us1.battlestar-galactica.bigpoint.com/It's free to play. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 For anyone who has an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad and likes to play MMO's, Gameloft dropped Order & Chaos within the past week. It's a WOW clone that plays good. The cost of the game is $6.99 and includes a 3 month subscription. After the initial 3 month period, its $0.99 per month or $1.99 for 3 months. It also includes an in-game purchase system to buy gold, but so far I haven't really seen the need.I'm playing on my iPhone. I'm sure it would be better on an iPad, but it is not hard on the smaller screen.Also, I've been playing Infamous lately with PSN being down. I got it for my kids for x-mas and am loving it.I've been playing this quite a bit on my iPad2. It's fun. Just Immersive and addicting enough to make me want to come back to it, but not life consuming, and it is easy to pick up and play for 20-30 minutes at a time. I haven't played an MMO in years (I played Asheron's call in the early 2000s). This game isn't nearly as deep and immersive as AC was, but it is nice to have a game on the ipad I can sink some hours into while my gf is watching Jersey shore.I've gotta say though, if this is truly a clone of WoW, the core gameplay is just ok, and I don't really understand what made WoW such a smash success. the Leveling/questing system in particular is raher bland. Go to X, talk to Y, go to Z and kill 5 monsters, return to X and get xp/gold/items, rinse repeat. Link to post Share on other sites

What you say there is a big part of the early life of your character but as you gain levels then things get interesting with the raids and dungeons. Or the arena. I loved it but it was taking too much of my time. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I already have LBP and Infamous, so I went with the Wipeout bundle, and dead nation. I'll probably never play either to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
Tehtoe 3 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah I have LBP and Infamous already so I went with Super Stardust HD and the Wipeout bundle. Super Stardust is actually quite difficult imo, but a pretty good game in the vein of Geometry Wars. Wipeout is a decent little racer for free. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Downloading Infamous. I previously had LBP and sold it thinking I might get the 2nd one but never did. So I'm torn between getting that again, and Super Stardust probably. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 LA Noire and Video Game StorytellingI don't think I've opened this thread in a year."popped into my Xbox 360 a game about which I had been curious for some time, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, which some regard as a great twinkling light of video-game preposterousness. If anything, this undersells the game's feral charm. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is a third-person shooter in which the player controls the Vitamin Water mogul himself. The plot is as follows: A Middle Eastern concert promoter, unable to pay 50 Cent an agreed-upon $10 million, convinces 50 Cent to accept a diamond-covered skull as adequate recompense. Unfortunately, 50 Cent's diamond-covered skull is stolen from him, which inaugurates a nation-wide rampage. The object of the game is to kill everything and earn money (killing people, luckily, earns you money), which makes 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand a rare game whose authored narrative is not at all disconnected from its player-generated narrative. Aside from the astonishing fact that 50 Cent agreed to the particulars of his portrayal within the game, the most interesting thing about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is how fun it is to play. Its batshit-crazy story revels, hilariously, in everything the medium does not do well. I played the game through in two days, after which I wondered if the single most damning thing about video games is the fact that one could argue, legitimately, that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is a better game than L.A. Noire."hahahaha Link to post Share on other sites

eYank 0 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I haven't played LA Noire, but I immensely enjoyed that article.I have the game and I liked it, but I think I hit the point where I don't care that much about the story anymore. I kept waiting for something to happen, there was a little twist, and then I got bored of it again. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well I finally broke down and got a PS3. Couldn't pass up the deal. $299.99 got me a 160GB PS3 Slim, Black Ops, First Strike, and a $50 Best Buy Gift Card. fearsomebeaver is my PSN thingy.I will say that I now see why I pay for online with Xbox. I can't get a good connection at all on Black Ops but went back to my XBox and was just fine with my connection. Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 as much as i like free, i think sony dropped the ball a bit with their semi-crappy version of connectivity for players. they had a window of opportunity to undercut the price of xbox live BUT still make it a pay service so it generates revenue for upgrading/improvement. they just aren't putting enough work in to it, probably exactly because it isn't a revenue stream. idiots.
