Launch Trailer

Booyah!!  Bad ass isn’t it?  I think so too.  Now one of the big differences this time around, as you just got a glimpse of, is that you’ll get to play as the Big Daddy!  You can take a look at this walk through by the developers for more info.

Hunting the Big Sister

Also, if you haven’t seen the original Bioshock 2 trailer, you owe it to yourself!

E3 Teaser trailer

Bioshock 2 comes out next Tuesday Feb 9th!  It will be available on X-Box 360 \ PS3 \ PC

Halo: Waypoint

First up, for X-Box 360 fans, you’ll find the new Waypoint tracking system for the Halo franchise.  Basically it’s an app that you’ll load into your 360 Dashboard that will be your operations center for just about any thing you can think of dealing with Halo.

343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor: Waypoint will offer Halo enthusiasts access to audio and video content in addition to community features and the option to follow your “Halo career.”

I think this video best explains it though….

Look for it to hit the Dashboard on November 5th!

Bioshock 2

2K Games released this new trailer for the next version of it’s “little sister” saving (or slaying) Bioshock!

Bioshock 2 isn’t due to hit the streets until 2-9-2010 on the X-Box 360 / PC / PS3 but Joystiq got an early preview of it.  Here’s their  full review [GO-->]

Army of Two: ‘The 40th Day’ commercial

Ok if you played Army of Two before you know this game is a dude game all the way.  Of course chicks can jump on and play and have fun, but from a design stand point it’s meant to bring out the fun loving neanderthal in all of us.  If you don’t get what I’m throw’n down, just watch this new commercial for Army of Two ‘The 40th Day’….

The first installment of this game got high praise for it’s co-op mode.  Sit down on the couch with a good friend, pop some beer….SODA, and shoot the crap outta stuff!

Army of Two: The 40th Day will be out 1-12-2010!  Check out the official page [GO-->]

It’s due to be released on November 17th and will be available on the X-Box 360 (best for playing co-op) and the PC.  And “PC” means your computer in case you’ve forgotten.

Find out more about the game on it’s wiki page.  [GO-->]

360 Elite was $399.00, now just $299.00
360 Pro was $299.00, now just $249.00

So if you were holding out…good on you!  You get a deal.  The thing to keep in mind about the consoles right now is that none of the big players are going to release anything new for the next few years.  So the 360 \ PS3 \ Wii are going to be riding it out for a while.  There will be little tweaked out versions like how Sony is about to release the PS3 Slim, and Nintendo will bring out a Wii HD, but nothing like a Sony PS4 or Microsoft X-Box 920 or a Nintendo Poo will be hitting the shelves any time soon.

I’ve actually been lucky and haven’t experienced the red ring of death with my 360…but being the eternal pessimist I am it only leaves me worried that I’ll get it the day after the warranty expires.  This at least gives me a little breathing room for when mine finally does head up to that big electronic cloud in the sky.

So what about you?  Are you going to get a 360 now or maybe upgrade your old white box?  Or does this just make you want the new PS3 Slim more?

The Bigs 2 – Xbox360\PS3\PS2\Wii – Step up to the plate in this sequel where the hits are huge and the plays are big.  This is over the top baseball and is actually pretty fun.  Played a little of last year’s game and it was sweet.

Bioshock/Oblivion Bundle - Xbox360\PS3 – 2 classics in 1 package.  Either way you can’t go wrong.  Bioshock takes place in an underwater city called Rapture.  Things go wrong and it’s up to you to make it right.  It’s a first person shooter that’s got a great story and  allows you to do upgades.  Oblivion takes place in Tamriel’s capital province, Cyrodiil.  It’s a first/third person action adventure that leads you through an action packed story.  Side missions make up a huge part of the game and it even let’s you join different guilds.  Look for hours and hours gaming in this combo package.

Tales of Monkey Island pt 1 – Wii\PC – This is the first of 5 parts of this new little episodic tale in which you follow Guybrush Threepwood in his quest to find a cure for his infected hand that is thought to hold the secrets of eternal life.  If you’ve ever played Tales of Monkey Island before you’ll really enjoy this new take on the franchise.  Check out some gameplay footage here.

Well that’s about it for this week.  Again, there’s not that many but these will take up hours of gaming.  Leave us a comment if you pickup either of these and let us know what you think.

Call of Juarez:Bound in Blood -Xbox360\PS3\PC- This is a sequel to the sleeper hit, the original Call of Juarez.  I played the demo of the original and it was a great game.  It’s a first person shooter that takes place in the old wild west.  Yippee Kai Yea Mother Lover.

Harry Potter and the Half Prince -Xbox360\PS3\PS2\PSP\Wii\DS\PC- For all you Harry Potter fans out there, this is the next game to follow with the movie.  The game is a third person single player action game.  So grab your magic stick and….make….magical…things, I guess.

Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance – Xbox360 – Infernal tells the story of Ryan Lennox. He is a former angel who is recruited by the forces of Hell to fight “Etherlight”, which is a heavenly secret agency.

Looks like the same as last week with only 3 real games to talk about.  Typical for summer but still nice to see even a few new games coming out at all.  Call of Juarez will definitely be a great game to escape the heat with…let the cowboys sweat on the screen and let your butt chill in the air conditioning.  Is it too soon to say “butt” and cowboys” in the same sentence since Brokeback Mountain?  Meh.

Let us know if you grab either of these!
