Left 4 Dead 2 OUT NOW – Let the Zombie Killing Continue !! Summary Info

0

Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead. This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.

Play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you’ll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan. You’ll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You’ll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.

Helping to take L4D’s frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you’ll fight through and the pathways you’ll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.

Let us know what you think of the game so far !! It’s received great reviews and is ranked up at 90/100 on metacritic.com

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Birm233cQ]

Heres an early peek at PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.10). The latest update incorporates Facebook into the PS3 experience. By linking your PlayStation Network account to your Facebook account, you will have the option for the PS3 to automatically update your Facebook News Feed with Trophy and PlayStation Store activity. This update also enables developers to set specific criteria in their titles to publish additional game information to your News Feed. You can then check out your updates, and those of your friends, on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media favorites through the PS3s built-in web browser.

This is just the beginning of our integration with Facebook and we are looking forward to adding new features enhancing the experience in future updates.

Additional highlights from update 3.10 include: * The Photo category on the XMB has been revamped to make it easier to see more of your photos stored on the PS3. * The PSN Friends List has been modified based on feedback we received after update 3.00. Additionally, you can now choose a color for your PSN ID on the XMB.

This update will be available very soon.  It’s looking good the Facebook intergration is very cool and will certainly improve over time.

Let us know what you all think of it.

New Super Mario Bros Wii – Video Review

 

New Super Mario Bros Wii
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Release Date: November 15, 2009

It’sa MEEEE MasterAbbott.. errmm I mean MARIO !!!!   – I’ve always wanted to say that 😉

Well MasterAbbott is back.  This time to review New Super Mario Bros Wii for the Nintendo Wii.  The video review goes through pretty much gameplay, features and multiplayer options within the game.  Super Mario Bros is a classic style game that everyone who’s a gamer would have played at one point in their lives. 

New Super Mario Bros Wii features a new 4 player option where you can embark on your journey to save Princess Peach (yes once again) together with your friends or family all on the same screen jumping, spinning, flying, throwing snow balls or swimming through the well designed and original levels and worlds.  New Super Mario Bros Wii looks and feels like the classic Super Mario for the Super Nintendo, but goes that extra step and incorporates so many of the other features from the other Mario games.  Mario can do all his moves spinning, super double jumps, bounce off walls, ground pound and many more as well as work together with his other team mates and cary them on his shoulers or lift them into the sky with his propella headsute.   EVEN Yoshi makes his return to eat, spit and poop out goodies along the way.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is fun for the whole family.  Check out the video below to give you a more fairer understanding on whats new and how it all looks. 

Enjoy the video review :
