Ubisoft announces Pre-order bonuses for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Ubisoft recently announced the pre-order bonuses that will be available at specific retailers if you pre-order Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Sadly, they have only announce the bonuses for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. At least it is better then nothing.

GameStop pre-orders will earn you the previously revealed “Forgotten Arena” gameplay mode.
Amazon
pre-orders will reduce the price by $5 and comes with a free Prince of Persia mobile game.
Best Buy
pre-orders will include a downloadable “SandWraith” character skin which resembles the Prince’s transformation in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

So who’s pre-ordering the game and where?

Dead Rising “Too Japanese”?

Capcom’s Shinsaku Ohara was quoted saying:

“The first Dead Rising was built in a very Japanese style.” “We had some help from America, but basically it was all done in a Japan. We wanted to do it better for a Western audience this time.”

“That’s why we’re working with Blue Castle now. They know what they like – and it’s good to have them come up with ideas and it becomes a back and forth thing. Together, we’ve come up with crazier ideas than we did in the first game. What we didn’t quite manage in Dead Rising 1 was that it still felt too Japanese. We’re much closer to feeling like a Western game with this title.”

“Felt too Japanese”? Except for small bits here and there of Japanese influence, as seen with the servbots and two Japanese survivors, I did not notice any major influences. If anything the best parts of Dead Rising were the crazy out there parts that made almost no sense at all such as the double chainsaw wielding clown.

I really hope that Dead Rising 2 does not lose it’s own personal flavoring now that it has supposedly lost more of it’s apparent Japanese influence. By the way, didn’t anyone else notice how Dead Rising was extremely close to the Dawn of the Dead movie? Right there is complete western influence. I wish that they took the stance of, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it. The only change they do make I hope is that they remove the time constraints that the first game had.

Rockstar Games Presents Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers

Now let me start by saying that I personally don’t get sucked into playing games on facebook as I find them VERY boring and also quite annoying and a little repetitive,  most of them don’t really have a purpose.  But you know a few of you out there would beg to differ.  Take for example Duraroc, who’s just recently discovered Mafia Wars.  All he does all day is play that game instead of writing articles !!  It DRIVES ME CRAZY !! he even twitters his progress to everyone following him.   He know it annoys me so he does it a little more each and everyday.  But maybe I can get him to jump ship from playing that boring Mafia Wars and try ROCKSTAR’s newest addition to the PC / FACEBOOK scene called : 

RED DEAD REDEMPTION : GUNSLINGERS

Now from what I’ve seen of it so far it looks like it might even rope me in as well.  I think it ROCKSTAR are on a real winner here.  Now all i have to do is trick.. err I mean convince duraroc into playing GunSlingers and then I’ll be a little happier. 

Check out details from ROCKSTAR about Red Dead Redemption Gunslingers and click on the link below that will take you straight to the APP, add it and start slinging 🙂 Yeee Haawww !!

OMA to be tuned in MW2 finally?

Well it seems that finally someone has caught the attention of Infinity Ward with the use of the One Man Army perk to spawn tube people across the map.

Firstly, check out this video.

And this one as well..

And then we get the following on the @fourzerotwo twitter feed:-

fourzerotwo Leaving Atlanta. Great to meet everyone who auditioned for @wcggamertvshow, now back to the studio. Seems there are OMA things to attend to.

In response to the question if he saw the video..

fourzerotwo @Muzzafuzza I did. I’ll bring it up with MP when I’m back in the studio.

Finally!! Is all I can say.  Has IW been blind the last few months.  There have been videos on YouTube on how to spawn tube for ages – Rundown, Afghan, Derail – it is all easily done.

Now what are they going to do to tune this?  They can’t get rid of OMA as it’s in the game, maybe limit OMA switches to once a life?

I like to tube like other people, but don’t use OMA anymore – I like to equip a tube and the Thumper with Sleight of Hand – fast reloads FTW!

Whilst IW are at it, can they tune the Commando lunge – this is bad, even with a shotgun blast to the head someone can lunge straight through it and stab you.

What do you guys think?  Maybe they should tune it so you can’t roast marshmallows as well!

Have fun!

Procreate in Fable 3

Just wait until the devil media get their hands on this one. (The devil media are the game hating, self doting, no research, old people you see complaining about side boob in Mass Effect.)

According to the Official Xbox Magazine, a new feature enables you to create children with your co-op partner in Fable 3. While you are not busy ruling your kingdom, you will “be able to enjoy, ahem, intimate moments with your co-op friend and eventually produce offspring together,” according to the magazine.

Put this along side of that GameCrush website, and we have a brothel in the making! Just pay the 10 minute fee.
