Steam Puts Everything On Sale

By Joe Haygood | December 27, 2008

So, after a long day of shopping and some major gaming this evening on the 360, I decided to come back to my favorite gaming machine, my PC. Upon loading up Steam, I was greeted with the news that everything on Steam is now on sale, anywhere between 10-75% off. Some of the deals include Bioshock for $4.99, The id Super Pack for $34.99, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky for $17.49 and even Valve darling Portal is marked down to a low $4.99.

Take a look at all the deals going on and see if the PC gamer in you can find something that might fit the game craving you have had since beating all the games you got on Christmas!

Ones to Watch on PS3 and PSP for November 2008

By Paul Munn | November 2, 2008

The PlayStation 3 gets just a few exclusive games this month amidst a flood of cross-platform titles, but those exclusives are all excellent titles on the system. The headliner this month is definitely going to be Resistance 2 (IGN: “Incredible” 9.5) with a strong single-player, separate 8-man co-op, and a dizzying 60-person online competitive multiplayer option. Also coming this month is something pretty rare on the PS3 these days, an RPG in the form of the Sega-published Valkyria Chronicles (IGN: “Outstanding” 9.0). Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm (IGN: “Impressive” 8.4) is another exclusive. All three of these are headed our way on November 4th, which is also Election Day in the United States.

Late-launchers on the console this month include Alone in the Dark: Inferno, which is a somewhat revised and tweaked verison of the same game that arrived on other platforms a few months ago and Age of Booty hits the PSN a month after launching on Xbox Live Arcade. Age of Booty was to get Trophies patched in after and October release but it’s not known if the delay allowed the developer to add Trophies in for this month’s debut.

The BioShock Challenge Rooms are slated to hit the PS3 on November 20th for an unknown price. I don’t believe these are headed to the Xbox 360 or PC versions of the game.

A number of other cross-platform titles this month are showing up with Trophy support.

Dead Space, Meet Scarface Control Schemes

By Joe Haygood | October 20, 2008

If you are a listener to the Aeropodcast, you have probably heard myself rattle on to no end about the control issues in Scarface. It was buggy, remaping did not work, and generally overall, it sucked to have to use a third party gamepad mapping software to make the game work. It just seems that when multiplatform games are developed, the PC ends up getting the short end of the stick when it comes to translating controls to the mouse and keyboard. Well, I am woefully reporting that it looks like the controls for the PC version of Dead Space have been nerfed to the highest order.

Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams First Look

By Richard Windsor | October 16, 2008

Those who purchased the PS3 version of Bioshock will get a nice surprise in the extras menu. Once unlocked, I imagine by beating the game, you can view the first teaser trailer for Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams. There is not much to discern from the video other then it takes place on the Atlantic coast and the little sisters have gone all Kate Moss on us. Watch the video and see if you can see any hidden clues about the next game. Since it’s a teaser the game must be quite some time from completion. Probably won’t see this thing until around this time next year….but I could be wrong.

Ones to Watch on PS3 and PSP for October 2008

By Paul Munn | October 1, 2008

October promises to be a very big month for the PS3 with a bevy of potential cross-platform blockbusters, a couple of ports, and some possibly huge exclusive titles. So many of these games look so good that I’m suspecting I won’t be the only one trying to make tough decisions about what games should be bought now and what should be picked up later. That said I’m going to give a fuller rundown than usual and I’ll start out with the platform exclusives on the PS3. That includes the game featuring the guy here who just might end up becoming the console’s mascot. And not to worry PSP fans, this month has a few nice treats coming our way as well, aside from the PSP-3000 refresh of the system itself.

Aeropodcast #48: Can joo Haz Exclusive

By Joe Haygood | September 10, 2008

Stephen, Fourhman and Joe are back for another non-star studded episode of the Aeropodcast, and this time they are talking about the power of the exclusive title, or lack there of as the case may be. The guys look at whether there is still a need of an exclusive, or if they still support a console. Also is the idea of an exclusive more of a fanboy notion than anything else.

Also, we lool at some of the site items for the week, as well as a gem of a review on iTunes. We love this one because it is so 1337. In the news we look at the Xbox price cut, free Red Alert, Take Two and Nintendo’s love fest along with many other items. So enjoy and keep the emails, comments and reviews flowing.

Thanks as always to Mixmaster Stephen and his wheels of steel for mixing the podcast this week, and to Revolution Void for our bumper music. You can find them at www.revolutionvoid.com.

What if Metal Gear Solid 4 was an NES game?

By Stephen Munn | August 27, 2008

Doctored screenshots are fun. Completely faked ones are even better, as long as they’re not passed off as real.

With that, I’ll suggest you check out this compilation of faux screenshots compiled over at Infendo. In particular, I’m very fond of the shot at left. Not only does it reference somewhat the way Metal Gear looked like in its NES days (it didn’t even look this good, actually), but it sticks a nice pointy thing right in Konami’s famously terrible localization skills. Those skills have really only improved in the past five years, sadly enough.

There’s a nice shot at PS3 launch title Genji as well. The best looking shot is probably the one for Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as it might look on the original Game Boy, though I can’t help thinking it’s too high resolution for that old fella.

2K Removes Bioshock DRM

By Levi Thornton | June 19, 2008

2K community manager made a announcement on the 2K forums:

Good news! As promised, all activation restrictions, including install limits, have been removed from BioShock PC as of today. You don’t have to patch or install anything for this to go into effect for your copy of BioShock – it’s already done!

This is great news indeed. I think maybe 2K is wising up and realizing that DRM only hurts loyal customers. Pirates will break the DRM and torrent it no matter the how big the protection is on it. Thanks 2K!
