Teabagging Support in Halo:Reach? and Reach Ringtones

Teabagging Support in Halo:Reach? and Reach Ringtones

Teabagging Support in Halo: Reach

Bungie has recently acknowledged a bug (if you can call it that) in the current alpha phase of Halo: Reach.

Currently whenever you die, the respawn camera flies to your respawn location keeping you from seeing any teabagging that your opponents do to you.

~~~
Title: Teabagging / humiliation moves impossible
Type: Bug
Opened: 3/4/2010 8:53:13 AM
“The respawn camera flies back to the spawn location immediately after dying, so your opponents can’t teabag / shoot / melee your body and have a possibility of you seeing it.”
~~~

I personally like the flying camera idea, it reduces the chance of spawn camping, and honestly I feel teabagging to be a very immature move.

Do you guys feel that Bungie should fix it so that we are forced to watch the enemy teabag us? Maybe an option to turn it on or off?

Halo: Reach Ringtones
Here is a present from Bungie to you, want a Halo themed ringtone?
Well, have at them guys!

Don’t tell your mother, but Mafia 2 has teamed up with Playboy

Women, look away now…

good…

mafiaii-screenshots-32

now then, guys, good news! 2K Games has Partnered with Playboy magazine to bring Sophistication and Classic Imagery to Mafia® II

yeah, we all know what that means! The bunnies are here to play!

“2K Games announced today that it has signed a license agreement with Playboy magazine for a unique in-game integration to use more than 50 of their vintage covers and Centerfolds in Mafia® II, this year’s highly anticipated epic mobster game for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.” according to a 2k Games Press Release, “Set in the fully realized and immersive 1940s and 1950s American urban cityscape of Empire Bay, Mafia II will enable players to collect virtual copies of the iconic magazine, which has served as the definitive guide to lifestyle and culture for men since December 1953. ”

Seeing how recent games such as ‘Dante’s Inferno’ where nudity was present in an M rated game, and now 2k games teaming up with Playboy to bring images to Mafia 2; could this mean that we are entering the age in which nudity isn’t frowned upon? I doubt it, we can be sure to see this hit the news upon them hearing about it; but honestly that will just lead to more people buying Mafia 2.

So what do you all think? Currently it is all speculation, but who knows.

Steam + Mac

Valve Announced that Steam and Source support for the Mac.

Steam and Valve’s lineup of games including  Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, and the Half-Life series will be available to Mac users this April, but from here on out, simultaneous cross-platform releases should be the normal.

Portal 2 will be the first game to launch simultaneously on both the PC and the Mac. But don’t get confuses, Portal 2 is still not coming out until the holiday season. It will just be the first game to release on the PC and Mac at the same exact time. All the other games are already on the PC so they cannot launch simultaneously.

This Week On Xbox Live Arcade (March 08, 2010)

Deal of the Week: CoD:WaW Map Pack Bundle
CoD:WaW

“This week, Xbox LIVE Gold members can the Call of Duty World at War Map Pack bundle for 1600 points. Normally 2000 points, it will be on sale [for 1600MSP] until until March 15th.” [Via MajorNelson]

Thoughts:
The Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack Bundle features the nine multiplayer maps and three co-op Zombie maps from Map Packs 1, 2, & 3.

That is a lot of content, and comes out to about 533.3MSP each. If you are a fan of Call of Duty: World at War, now is a good time to pick up all 3 map packs in this bundle.

The only downside is that, all three map packs have been on sale before for 400MSP each at separate times, and most people who play CoD:WaW already bought the map packs at those times.

Xbox Live Arcade Title: Scrap Metal (March 10, 2010)

Scrap Metal
“As part of the Xbox LIVE Block / House Party promotion, Scrap Metal will be available this Wednesday on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 points.” [Via MajorNelson]

Thoughts:
Drift around corners with guns blazing and take out legendary competitors in this fast-paced, top-down racing game. This game looks quite interesting and has a lot of customization. It also includes avatar awards!

Final Fantasy XIII – Limited Collector’s Edition Contents Video Review

G’day everyone.  MasterAbbott is back for another one of his Limited Edition UNBOXINGs.  I love unboxing stuff !! 😉  Today we have the newly released Square Enix RPG masterpiece Final Fantasy XIII.  The unboxing was done with the XBOX 360 version of the game.  There is practically no difference between the XBOX 360 and the PS3 apart from the number of play discs.  Playstation 3 has everyone on one Blu-Ray disc, where as the XBOX 360 the game is on THREE dics.

Check out the video review below

The Final Fantasy XIII – Limited Collector’s Edition is priced at $139.99 AUS which as always is WAY WAY TOO Much compared to what the rest of the normal gaming world pays for video games.  So I have to say that unless your a true Final Fantasy fan I wouldn’t recommend.  If you just want to play the game then stick to the regular edition for a far cheaper price. 

Content Review : 6.5 Capsules Out Of 10

6-5-capsules-out-of-10

Purchase only if your a true Final Fantasy fan and want the extra little things such as the sound track and Story of Final Fantasy collectors book.

Recently Bizarre Creations  announced that there is no DLC for Blur in development, but they do have plans for DLC in the future. According to lead designer Ged Talbot, throughout the year or more of development not a single team has worked on any sort of DLC.

Bizarre Creations assures everyone that DLC is coming, just not on the release day. So everyone who buys the game will have to be happy with the 50 cars and 30 racing locales coming on the disc for a little while. (As well as pre-order bonuses depending on where you buy the game.
