Well well well, here we are a little bit over a week to go before you can all get tactical with the Capsule Computers team on MW2.
Just to remind you all – here is the link again – GET TACTICAL
So here is a little story. @MiniDuraRoc, who I might mention is a bit of a football star, was bugging me to get Ultimate Team for FIFA10. So I was still sleeping and he said, Dad.. can we get it now, it’s 1200 points… I said.. narr just wait, I will get some points from Gamecard for a bit cheaper, and then use that.
So I buy 1500 MS points that day, and wait for him to come home to get it. So then I find it’s only 400 points.. and I already had 471 in my account..so I just used that.
The moral to the story is this. I now have a 1500 MS Points code (AU/NZ) in my email, which I was thinking, hey, I reckon I might give this away on the get tactical night to the person who doesn’t piss me off the most! HAHAHA.. oops sorry.. The person who I think played the best and fairest! So there it is boys and girls. Next Friday 12th March 8-11pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time – get tactical with the Capsule Computers team and have a chance to score yourself a 1500 MS Points code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!
Anyway, did I mention that xI Rock Ix is a bit of a noob tuber? And when he isn’t tubing he is shotgunning and also pistol killing people?
Have fun, hope to catch you all next Friday night. For anyone going to the FFXIII night tomorrow at IMAX, hope to catch you there!

HEY! who got the BioShock 2 special addition with those really neat posters? Well guess what! There is more to these really neat posters. With the use of a blacklight the posters reveal secret messages.
Here is a video I got from youtube using a simple search. I do not know who this guy is, but he does a pretty good job at showing off the posters and the secret messages. Some spoilers are present.
Steam had an update for the game Portal, which included a rather odd line in the patch notes which said “changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations.”
This simple line caused the steam forums to buzz, and it was noted that Radios were added to each level, and secret transmissions could be heard if you carried the radio to certain locations in the level. The Morse code signals hint that Glados could’ve transmitted herself before you killed her, hinting at a Portal 2.
A secret achievement has also been added. Want the secret achievement? All you have to do is carry the radio in each level to the location for the radio signal to start, do that for all 26 levels and the achievement is yours.
So, anyone working on this achievement? Or did everyone just get it on the XBox 360 like me?
Little Big Planet (LBP) prides itself on the ability for everyone to make any kind of level they can think up. Recently LBP has hit 2 million user created levels. That is a lot of content for people to play.
This means that LBP is still very popular and if you have a PS3 and want endless levels you should probably pick this game up, but what do i know.

Metro 2033 frm THQ : Game rundown, details, trailer and buy now :
The whole world lies in ruins. Humanity is almost annihilated. Due to the high-level of radiation cities became unsuitable for living. Outside cities, as rumours say, there are endless burned out deserts and wilds of mutated forests. The survived still remember about the past greatness of human. But the remnants of the civilization gradually become just memories, spin with stories and turn into legends.
Since the last plane took off the land more than twenty year has passed. The corroded railroads lead to nowhere. The air is silent, and the radiomen hear only the cheerless howls while million times tuning in frequencies on which broadcasted New-York, Paris, Tokyo and Buenos Aires before. Only twenty years has passed since IT happened. But human yielded the supremacy on Earth to new species. The mutated by radiation and other consequences of the happened creatures are more adapted to the changed world.
The human epoch elapsed. But they do not want to believe in that. There are only some tens of thousand of them, and they do not know whether somebody else survived, or they are the last people in this world. They live in Moscow metro the largest anti-nuclear shelter ever constructed by a human and the last shelter of humanity.
Almost all of them were in metro THIS day, and this fact helped them to survive. The hermetic locks protect them from radiation and monstrous creatures on surface, the worn out filters purify water and air. The assembled by skilled craftsmen dynamos produce electricity, in underground farms champignons are cultivated and pigs are raised, but the poorer people do not bother eating rats.
The central control system collapsed long age, and the stations turned into diminutive states, where people are grouped by ideas, religion and water filter or by the basic necessity to defence from enemies.
The VDNH is the extreme northern populated metro station in its line. It is the northern outpost of humanity and civilization. Here live some hundred of strong, friendly people, who treat the station as their sweet home. It was one of the best in metro while it was safe. But now the station is attacked by hordes of mysterious animals, descending from the top and named Darkness by the citizens of VDNH. The citizens, for the moment, succeed in countering the offence, but it becomes more and more difficult If the station is seized, the avalanche may overflow the whole metro.
Artem, a young guy, who lives in VDNH, is given a task to reach the heart of the metro, the legendary Polis, in order to warn all people about the terrible danger and to ask for help. In hands of one man appears the destiny of VDNH, the destiny of the whole metro, and may be, the destiny of the whole humanity

They will have to face different political regimes (democracy with market economy, totalitarian sects, military communism, primitive society with proper culture and beliefs); to fight with dangerous enemies and new intelligent life forms, born by catastrophe and mutations; to explore the enigmatic and at the same time quite known world and its laws (groupings and their interrelations, fractions animosity and trade, anomalies and enemies with extraordinary abilities); to handle various types of weapons, as common, as assembled from variety of well-know to modern people types, which posses some properties of their prototypes; to drive unique peoples machines in the new world : hand cars assembled in armoured personnel carrier manner etc..
Location post-apocalyptic Moscow, the life of humanity gleams in metro (subway) tunnels, and the stations turned into small states with different political regimes.
Variety of game play styles possibility to play as a heavy strike fighter, as an inconspicuous killer.
A player, who attentively follows the events in the game world, will find out ways to influence the advance of the plot and may reach the non-standard end. Besides the basic plot, there is a variety of non-obligatory tasks.
Station Cites live its own life independent from player. Children run and play among dwellings, adults are busy with different businesses women cook meals, sew; men have discussions, clean weapons, drink tea or home-brew, read books; old people seat near tents.

Metro looks awesome, why not pre-order your copy from Fishpond now and get a free T-shirt along with it.
Heavy Rain surpassed ‘Alien vs Predator’ and ‘Just Dance’; which come in second and third respectively.
This gets me questioning what decides a game purchase in the UK. According to the purchases made in the UK, Just Dance must be pretty good to be coming in third. Maybe I should go pick it up and see what all the fuss is about. But then again, I still have my dignity.
Yay!! What a waste of a week! Anyone with me on this?
We all could’ve been enjoying a cheap game, but now we have to sit through a week that only those people who actually buy avatar clothes will enjoy. Guess what the irony of it is. Come on guess!
Everyone who actually buys avatar clothes probably already has this armor, it was one of the first released.
But I guess Gears of War fans can now show off their Fan hood by buying cheaper COG armor for their virtual self.
Toy Soldiers
Toy Soldiers releases this week for 1200MSP and by the looks of things it will incorporate avatar awards.
Toy Soldiers is an action, strategy game that enables you to go 1v1 against anyone in the world using 50 unique units. Supposedly you’ll be able to control certain units, that you pick, from a third person perspective. This could be very interesting in a semi-real time strategy game. Being able to control your unit from a third person perspective could give you the upper hand against the mindless enemy charging you but also makes you blind to the rest of the field, enabling your opponent to sneak around you.
