20GB Xbox 360 Possibly Getting a 60GB HD

So along with the rumored price drop, which isn't much of a rumor anymore, there also seems to be a HD upgrade in store for the Premium pack. The rumored model upgrade is said to be announced during E3. I would not be surprised at all if this was true. In fact, after hearing the rumor, I would be surprised if this didn't come true.

So basically if anyone has been waiting to get a 360, or become a part of next-gen(now current-gen), then this would seem to be the opportune time to buy.

Mega Man 9 on XBLA/PSN Too


Mega Man 9 will now officially release on XBLA and PSN, along with it's WiiWare release. This would appear to be the first arcade title to release simultaneously on all platforms. I know that some people are quite upset with the choice to go back to 8-bit graphics. I am actually excited about the retro style, though it may be a little bit too much nostalgia face shoving. I am also someone who would gladly buy a brand new 8/16-bit system if I knew that companies would still develop new games for those systems.

2D in not dead, 2D is not something that developers need to be afraid of trying. I know that there are many things you can't do in a 2D game that can be done in 3D, but the same goes vice-versa. I will be going over this a lot more in an article I plan to write about Franchise revivals and retro gaming in general.

Gaming "GoneHerEA" Episode 1

This is the inaugural episode in the Gaming "GoneHerEA" series(name subject to change). This series is basically where I play shitty games from the past, preset and future(yes, future) so you don't have to! I figured since nobody really wants Gonorrhea and nobody wants to play these games that the name fit well. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the first episode starring Batman Forever on the Sega Genesis.

Diable III Officially Official

I am sure a bunch of Blizzard/Diablo fans have just orgasm-ed all over the place after finally getting the official word. I have never played a Diablo game, so my excitement level is obviously quite tame. Anyways here is a vid of some Diablo III game-play footage. Hooray.

More Sonic

Just some more footage from Sonic Unleashed. The more I see of this game, the more hopeful I get...come on Sega, I still believe in you.

...I will say this. I am getting quite sick of the music in all these trailers! Please, please give me something else.

Xbox 360 License Tranfers

The inability to play XBLA games DLC while offline has been a known issue for a while. Some people managed to get the problem resolved by calling support and waiting for a month for the fix. Now everyone can resolve this issue with relative ease. The steps are rather simple, but instead of listing them here, I'll just post a helpful video from Major Nelson, as well as a link to where you start the process.

*In case anyone is wondering if it really works. I tried it out myself and am happy to say that it worked and it was very easy to do!*

Far Cry 2 Gameplay Footage

I have barely spent anytime with a Far Cry game, but they always intrigues me and seemed interesting. Far Cry 2 has always sounded cool to me, but after watching this demo I am really hopeful for what this game can possibly become. Anyways, you should stop with the reading and start with the watching!

Red Faction: Guerilla

I was a huge fan of the original Red Faction and it is actually one of my favorite console FPS games of all time. A "sequel" came out, but it was absolutely horrible and a complete disaster. This new game seems to be going back to where the first game left off, continuing the story and hopefully bringing the series back to it's original glory. I don't have much to say right now because my mind has been wandering quite a bit...as if there are voices in my head. The voices do sound quite similar to a few people I know(Rob, Kado, Bru...). I wonder what that could mean...
