He’s an exclusive, bitch!
By Joe Fourhman | July 4, 2009
I don’t recall Juggernaut having much of anything to do with Marvel’s Civil War crossover tale, but that hasn’t stopped Activision from sandbagging Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 with tons of other characters who weren’t involved, so why stop now.
In fact, why not offer up Juggy as a retailer exclusive… to GameStop, of course. Now, he may only be a palette swap of Hulk, but Marvel completists will now have to preorder via GameStop in order to play as Professor X’s dear brother. Activision’s press release (after the jump) does not mention any other exclusive bonus characters. Doesn’t anybody want Ghost Rider this time around? He had tons to do during Civil War as well.
MUA2 still features the power fusion gimmick that briefly provided the game a subtitle, is full to bursting with bankable super-heroes regardless of continuity, and now has an online flash game that lets you choose sides in the referendum on super-hero registration.

The Bigs 2 Conference Call (Live Blog)

No Words To Spoil Current’s Red Faction: Guerrila Review
By Paul Munn | June 24, 2009
If you’re a child of the 1980’s you’ll immediately recognize the music that makes up all of the audio in this review of Red Faction: Guerrila from Current Gaming. Wombat on the CAGCast episode 136 mentioned this as an eat.sleep.play review and while I found their link to it jumped over to Current, that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that this review combined with all of the big buzz RFG has been getting — both CheapyD and Wombat highly recommend the game and haven’t even touched the multiplayer mode that the GamersWithJobs guys gushed over on their Conference Call episode 139 — has made me really want to give it a try. There are demos out for both platforms it’s on so give them a whirl if you haven’t done so already.
Note: There is a larger version over at Current, which I recommend viewing instead of this smaller embedded one.

Fallout 3: Point Lookout Hits Xbox Live, GFW Marketplace
By Joe Haygood | June 23, 2009
Hello fellow Wastelanders, if you have already conquered the Capitol Wasteland in Fallout 3, tamed the wilds of The Pitt, and even flushed out the last of the Enclave in Broken Steel, you now have a reason to re-up your tour of duty as Fallout 3: Point Lookout drops for both Xbox 360 and the PC today.
Point Lookout adds a new, fully explorable island for players to investigate, along with new enemies, equipment and, of course, new achievements. The level cap will not be raised with this DLC, but it is offering several hours of new quests and missions.
To read more about Fallout 3: Point Lookout, check out our E3 2009 preview of the DLC from Bethesda’s booth.

By Joe Haygood | June 22, 2009
Our man on the inside, TekkenBob, has sent down word that Tekken 6 will have a North American release date of October 27th, 2009, with Europe, Japan and other Asian countries getting the game shortly thereafter. Along with the release date, we have some pre-order bonuses and a special edition fight stick/game bundle now available for pre-order.
First off, our announcment of Cardboard Tube Samurai has an attachment to it, with the costume being a DLC download for the character Yoshimitsu, but if you pre-order at Gamestop, you will get a code for redeemption, while supplies last. Another pre-order bonus at Gamestop is a 2009-2010 calendar featuring the women characters of Tekken 6, to beautify your wall.
Last big piece of news on the Tekken 6 front is the announcement of a Tekken 6 HORI wireless fight stick bundle, that will be available in both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The bundle will include a copy of Tekken 6, a HORI high quality wireless fight stick and an art book, all for the price of $149.99.

Some Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Screens
By Joe Haygood | June 22, 2009
Electronic Arts sent over a couple of screenshots from the upcoming family title, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. With the screenshots, we also received word that the development team for the Harry Potter game, have implemented a new facial animation system, allowing characters to show emotions and expressions. We are told that long gone are the vapid looks from Harry and crew in this release, which would be nice, because the animations blank looks from Harry in Order of the Phoenix were a bit unsettling.
Check the jump for full sized version of the two screenshots. Look for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on July 3rd, 2009.
New Mass Effect DLC Nearing a Reality
By Joe Haygood | June 22, 2009
Mass Effect was a darling for Microsoft, and for some time now, it has lived up to its potential with the exception of the paltry DLC offerings. I mean, Mass Effect is similar in scope to many space operas like Star Wars and Star Trek, yet it never really seemed to get much attention from Bioware. Sure we have a sequel coming, and a couple of books that flesh out the back story, but nothing to expand on the universe that is here and now while we wait for the sequel.
Yes we did get the Bring Down the Sky DLC, but that was in March of 2008, over 15 months ago, and as noted, was a little short, and that Mass Effect players needed more DLC to flesh out the current state of the universe.
Well, now it appears that Bioware is finally getting part of the message. In a post over in the Mass Effect forums on Bioware’s site, community coordinator Chris Priestly states the following:
We haven’t revealed much in the way of details on the next DLC yet. You should be hearing more about it this coming week. Stay tuned.
We heard at E3 that there might be some DLC announcements soon and that the DLC would be more gun centric, and now it seems to be nearing a reality. We don’t have much on details, but it seems like we will know more in the next few days. I hope that they take a page from Bethesda, and release some meaty content. I want a new reason to come back to Mass Effect besides achievement hunting at this point. Oh, and when I say take a page from Bethesda, I mean hours of content, not stability. Don’t use the Bethesda release method of DLC content, where it does not work for the first week of release.
I do hope we get more of the Batarians, and maybe some other race, like the Quarians. The flotilla is an enigma, beyond the Mass Effect: Ascension book from last year, and could be an interesting place to go, maybe with Tali leading the charge. Aeropause will post more when we get the deets from Bioware.
The Way of the Cardboard Tube Samurai
By Joe Haygood | June 20, 2009
So yesterday as I was going to dinner, I was contacted by a TekkenBob, who attached a picture that he stated was from the upcoming Namco Bandai fighter, Tekken 6. There was not much else in the email, except for a Twitter name, and that more details would be following. So as I looked at the picture I tried to figured out what was so special with it until I got a follow up email from TekkenBob that spilled the beans. It seems that the character above is none other than Cardboard Tube Samurai, a creation of Gabe and Tycho, over at Penny Arcade.
I cannot wait to see the special attacks that can be made with two tubes of cardboard. Would you feel shame in getting beat down by this character in Tekken 6.
Finally, TekkenBob said that more news and images would follow, with a big announcement possibly coming next week.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Preview
By Joe Haygood | June 19, 2009
Its a few weeks late, but Brinton Williams was nice enough to give some of the press, including Aeropause, an early look at Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, showing off a lot of the new fusion combos that will be used and the inside line on the Civil war storyline. We did not get an answer on how the Hulk could be there, but we did find out that regardless of what side you play, “you get to kick the crap out of Iron Man”.
