Quick Hit - "Bulletstorm"

WRITTEN BY: MIKE PULLANO
After establishing such a popular franchise in Gears of War, Cliff Bleszinski has become one of the few developers that has a recognizable face that gamers follow. Now he's using his mug to promote a new FPS that Epic is helping to produce. Bulletstorm is the title and even though Bleszinski is only operating as a producer you can expect the new FPS to lure in Gears players.

Halo Reach: Multiplayer Awesomeness

UPDATE BY: MIKE PULLANO
Bungie was nice enough to let loose another developer diary to make sure that everyone remains excited about Halo: Reach. I have to admit it looks like they are doing everything they can to spice up the multiplayer while still retaining the ‘Halo’ vibe. Anyone scared about the new addictions of load outs with shields, cloaking and jetpacks? 

Batman Arkham Asylum 2 Characters!

WRITTEN BY: MIKE PULLANO

Everyone wants more info on Arkham Asylum 2 but truth be told we don’t know much. There has been a lot of speculation about which villains will be combating with Batman in the in sequel but it was all just a guessing game until now. Fortunately a couple of slip-ups and loose lips have accidentally revealed a few of the new villians that Batman will be facing in the new game.

The voice actor Maurice LaMarche let it slip on his twitter that he’s going to be playing Mr. Freeze in the upcoming Batman game and actress Stana Katic did they same revealing that she’d be playing Talia al Ghul. Lastly Batman himself Kevin Conroy revealed that he’d be going up against Two Face in the new game.

So there you have it. Mr. Freeze, Talia al Ghul & Two Face. Any thoughts on the new villains being included in Arkham Asylum 2? Personally they aren’t my first choices but I’ll be happy as long as Halle Berry doesn’t make an appearance as Catwoman. 

 

Modern Warfare 2 on Wii?

WRITTEN BY: PETER TRINH

Is Modern Warfare 2 headed to the Wii? Although neither Nintendo nor Activision has made an official announcement, retail giant GameStop has slipped up again and sent an email to their subscribers with an image of a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2. Was this an accidental leak of a yet-to-be announced Wii version of Modern Warfare 2? It seems like plausible scenario since the Wii did receive a port of the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare two years after the original release and Activision would do anything to sell a few extra copies of their monster franchise.
