Following the call for support to keep General RAAM in the running for Gamespot’s Greatest Villian, and Gearsheads rallying to the call, the next XP event for Gears of War 2 will be a mammoth 30x XP. The date is still to be decided but it is a coming. As per Rod Fergusson’s tweet: Holy crap, we won! You guys…
Not overly exciting and ground-breakingy different to the one we currently use, but a little sexier none the less. Here’s a little video for your enjoyment.
There’s been a little news drifting around the web today and yesterday about everyone’s (soon to be) favourite Call of Duty game. Ever. Firstly, “Wager matches will be this year’s Nazi Zombie mode”, essentially putting a nail in the coffin about that requested of modes. When asked about it recently, Daniel Suarez, Executive Producer on Call of Duty: Black Ops…
As can be expected when companies have a list of games and release dates, some are bound to be delayed, some are sooner than expected and some are due in what feels like another lifetime. THQ has some release dates and they appear to fit rather nicely into all three categories. The delayed is Red Faction: Armageddon, which has been…
While we still play and assess the game for review, we just received this here press release. And in case you were wondering – Halo: Reach is out today. Really.

Overview
Let me be quite blunt here – Spider-Man is not really my favourite comic book hero ever. He is always a little bit too emo for me to be honest and a little too cocky at times. He needs to be cut down to size sometime. The next problem the web-slinger faces is that Batman: Arkham Asylum came along and raised the bar for “super-hero” games, and it’s not like previous Spider-Man games were exactly mind-blowing. So now the poor dude has an Arkham Asylum fan that doesn’t really like him, reviewing his latest game…will it all end in tears?
The launch of Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero®: Warriors of Rock is almost upon us and to whet the appetites of gaming’s rock fans, the Guitar Hero® Music Library expands today with the Rock 1 Track Pack. Featuring hits by bands such as Faith No More, Godsmack, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Orgy and Papa Roach, the Rock 1 Track Pack is sure to have fans shredding right into the launch of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The Rock 1 track pack will be compatible with Guitar Hero® 5 and Band Hero®, as well as forward compatible with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and will feature the following tracks:
A little over a week ago, the chainsaws fell silent in the South African Gears Guardian League, leaving Jacinto strewn with bodies – both Locust and COG. In what can only be described as a perfect ending, two teams tied for the top spot having both won eight out of their nine games, but it came right down to the last round robin game of them all.
Ten teams started the journey to be crowned the Gears Guardian Champions of SA (trademark is pending, but unlikely) and the two left standing and needing to compete in a “final” are The Shotgun Clowns and Capital Punishment. However, due to some of the players needing to attend to a rather fantastic Modern Warfare 2 Tournament and rather less fantastic exams, the final will be happening at a later date, yet to be decided.
One of the great things about the SA Gears of War community is the attitude of the players. Everyone appears to be enjoying themselves, except when Holden has the sniper or Vandal remembers where the ‘B'(ash) button is (of course, laughter is what pulls one through) and I would like to congratulate and thank everyone for carrying this spirit into what many might perceive as ‘competitive’ gaming. In the end, it was an absolute pleasure to organise the League and I will (some say stupidly) organise another one. Or at the very least one when Gears of War 3 lands.
This ‘free’ update will come out after the “Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution” DLC lands in September and will address the two most requested features that have been excluded from the DLC. Those being a new level cap and a rebalancing of the main game to accomodate the new level cap. Gearbox CEO, Randy Pitchford, told a live PAX audience that…
So, we’re all currently milking the 25x XP that Epic bestowed upon us in celebration of the ‘Labor’ Day weekend. Some have achieved the lofty heights of Level 100, while some continue to flounder and are possibly wondering if they’ll ever get there – this weekend or any other. So, I got to thinking, what’s next? Surely, this is not…
