It should be a spectacular event.  Pity we can’t make our way over as we’re all the down here in Sydney Australia.  Maybe one day we might get some loving and have our own special event that entire world comes to see.   We could call it the “Skippy Game Show”  Along with games we can have wild Kangaroo’s, Emu’s, Tasmanian Devil’s Koala Bears and Dingo’s running around mauling everyone whilst their playing and trying out the latest games.  Someone will surely come up with the catch phrase … A DINGO STOLE MY CONTROLLER !!

Yakuza 3’s Pre-order Bonuses

yakuza-3-playstation-3-01

Playstation Blog announced today some Pre-Order bonus goodies when you pre-order Sega’s Yakuza 3 that’s coming VERY soon to a playstation 3 near you.  I don’t know why I keep saying this but this game looks soooo damn similar to Shenmue it’s not funny.  I desperately want Sega to deliver the goods and finish the final chapter of Shenmue, but for now I think Yakuza 3 will have to do.

Who else thinks the same ?   Anyway before I ramble off  here is what u get when you pre-order Shen..  I mean Yakuza 3 😉

4 pieces of DLC will be packed into the game via a special code card. This will allow players access to the following content:

• Battle for Survival – Take on all the bosses of Yakuza 3 as Kazuma
• All-Star Tournament (7 character tournament)
• All-Star Tag Tournament (8 team tournament)
• Haruka’s Request – This unique series of challenge missions will send you on a task of exploration throughout the entire Yakuza world, playing mini-games and entertaining Haruka.

In addition to this, Yakuza fans who pre-order the game at their local GameStop will receive additional content via the Challenge Pack. This will allow them to enjoy 2-player mini games, competing against their friends at Pool, Bowling, Darts and Golf. They will also be able to customize their principle characters with four alternative costumes for Kazuma, Haruka and Rikiya.

There ya have it.  What do you all think ?  Pretty cool aye.

Call Of Duty 7 ?

Call Of Duty 7 ?

A lot of rumors are flying around at the moment regarding the next Call Of Duty.   From what we’ve heard, Activision will continue to churn out the Call Of Duty series every year.  So far no official name has been set but it’s been given the label of Call Of Duty 7. 

Once again the reigns will be handed over to Treyarch.  I don’t know why they don’t just leave it with Infinity Ward this hopping back and forth between developers is silly im my opinion.  But hey it’s only my opinion.  Don’t get me wrong Treyarch do make and have made great games in the past, but who else agrees that the COD / MW series should be handled by ONE developer not two ?

Anyway not much in location or game details is available at the moment but once again rumors say that it may take place in Vietnam or Cuba.  Which one would you guys prefere ?  I’d probably like to see it set in Cuba, and PLEASE NO jungles !!

Call Of Duty 7 will hopefully make is away into our grubby little hands this November 2010.

Let us know what you think … Suggestions, Ideas, even more rumors.. leave a comment.

(p.s) … there’s a little anomaly in this article … try and figure it out and leave a comment.  First person to do so will win a unlock code for a game 🙂

It’s raining pretty bad out here.  The Sony Playstation weather channel has forecasted that the Heavy Rain demo will be available worldwide through the PlayStation Store on Thursday, February 11, 2010.   Make sure you pack your umbrella, raincoat and gumboots just in case your caught outside in the down pour as you dont want to miss out.  The demo will feature two FULL chapters from the game,  in which players will immerse themselves in the roles of Norman Jayden, a FBI profiler brought in to help local law enforcement find and capture the Origami Killer, and Scott Shelby, a private investigator hired by families of past victims to bring their killer to justice.

I personally cant wait to get my hands on this psychological thriller where YOU determine the outcome of how the story goes and all in the hope of uncovering the mystery of Heavy Rain.

The Golden Guns Weapon Pack
The player who wields the exclusive Golden Guns receives more Fame for each kill. The more Fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available.

Gears of War: Anvil Gate coming in August

The next saga in the Gears Of War universe will be unleashed upon us in Augustus Cole.. errmm I mean August 31st 2010.  Anvil Gate is the written by New York times best selling author Karen Traviss .

Details are not very solid at the moment but here is some information about Anvil Gate :

Not much is known about the Siege of Anvil Gate, other than that it was Victor Hoffman’s finest hour. Pesang troops were mentioned as having taken part in the battle and distinguishing themselves by their skill. Most likely, Hoffman led Gears to victory against heavy odds, since he compared the battle to the opening of the Siege of Jacinto 15 years after Emergence Day.A monument was placed in the Tomb of the Unknowns, dedicated to the men and women that fought at Anvil Gate.

Now if your a big fan of Gears, like how I am I would recommend pre-ordering this now.  So it’s shipped out straight away once it’s in stock on the August 31st.

Two great spots to Pre-order from : 

AMAZON

FISHPOND

Both Amazon and Fishpond have the entire collection of Gears Of War novels and if your REALY LAZY and can’t even be bothered reading you could also pick up the AUDIO BOOKS.  Check them out for yourself and see 🙂
