Update Due to an overall lack of interest in the recaps, I have decided to change it up a little bit. Some of the changes will be reflected here, but thanks to Tosh, the Recap process will be a lot more streamlined and I can get them out much faster than usual. This means it shouldn’t take me very long at all (well, except for maybe this one, which will be a 4 week recap, but it will get finished a lot faster than the last one). With that said, One of the updates you will see will be the formatting of the post lists. It now includes the number of comments. Of course, this is total comments, as I can’t really be bothered to look at how many comments were made for the week and which ones were made . With that said, we were also going to try to implement Likes into it as well, but it wouldn’t work, so I will be doing that the old-fashioned way. I was going to find out Most Likes through the AddThis service, which tracks the number of shares a topic got for the week, but doesn’t appear to track the number of likes. Now, a couple other updates for future recaps. The images and links usually posted at the bottom of this tab will likely be replaced . I will also be dropping the Poll Results and New Poll post and implementing it into the Weekly Recap, which means that we need more poll ideas , since it will be a weekly matter now. With that said, a few things might still change, but that’s the main stuff. Enjoy! UPDATE: Here’s the new link section! December 19th-25th If you missed it, during the Christmas weekend, we did have triple points , but only a few of you capitalized on that. Also, if you haven’t noticed, this was when we also have the ability to, essentially, pop-out the chat window, so you can browse other sites, etc and still have a window open to talk to people on the site. Some of it has changed since it initially went into effect, but you now have the ability to either keep it in the sidebar or pop it out. During this week, we had the Photo contest going on for Gran Turismo 5. Winners have since been chosen (as will be pointed out in the next week’s recap). There was also a tournament planned, but had to be postponed due to me getting the YLOD. This tournament will be resumed when I get that fixed . 15 Articles // 5 QuickNews Contributor of the Week Luke – 5 Entries QuickNews Contributor of the Week kennygk & Luke- 2 Entries Most Liked Eddie – Infamous Comic to be Released by DC Comics and Sucker Punch – 3 Likes Most Comments Eddie – Sega Holiday Sales on PSN and SNK Discounts for Playstation Plus Members – 26 Comments New COD DLC Announced – PS3 Gamers Are 2nd Best Again Madagasca on December 20th, 2010 15 Comments Infamous Comic to be Released by DC Comics and Sucker Punch Eddie L.

One of the features added to the pop-out chat is the Global Activity feed included at the top, which, of course, shows off recent activity taking place throughout the site. It also automatically refreshes at fixed intervals so it stays (mostly) up to date (I think 5 minutes?). The Gran Turismo 5 Photo Contest winners were me and Oregondude. We’ll be sure to have others in the future, too! There was also a surprise points giveaway , in which Kane112 won for posting the 75,000th message.

Episodes 5 and 6 of Sordohan’s Journey (from Two Worlds II)

Guns & Roses lead singer Axl Rose has filled a $20m lawsuit against Activision over the use of former band member Slash ( a.k.a Saul Hudson )in the 2007 release of Guitar Hero III. Rose claims that Activision “spun a web of lies and deception” when a deal was made to allow the song “Welcome to the Jungle” to be featured in GHIII. According to Rose, Activision was only given the rights to use the song on the condition that any reference to the departed guitarist, Slash , or his new band, Velvet Revolver, would be omitted.  Before the game hit store shelves Rose discovered that Activision had plans to use Slash’s image for GHIII despite the terms of their agreement. After Rose allegedly demanded that Welcome to the Jungle be removed from the game because of the breech in contract, Activision reportedly informed him that the Slash character was just a “trade-show PR stunt”. When Guitar Hero III was officially released a cartoon version of Slash was used for the game’s box art, was playable in the game, and three Velvet Revolver songs were soon available as dlc. Needless to say Axl Rose wasn’t very happy when he became aware of this. “[Activision] began spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and [Velvet Revolver] prominently in Guitar Hero III,” the suit argues, “but also promote the game by emphasising and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N’ Roses and the band’s song Welcome to the Jungle.”  ”This lawsuit is about protecting Guns N’ Roses and Welcome to the Jungle, and is about holding Activision accountable for its misuse of these incredibly valuable assets,” Rose’s lawyer insisted. Guitar Hero III has since generated over $1billion, making it one of the highest-grossing video games of all time. Activision has yet to release a statement regarding the lawsuit. Source: Guardian

Axl Rose Sues Activison

This gen has been under attack by the incorporeal beings better known as zombies and what better time to discuss it than the month of Halloween. Developers far and wide, covering many different genres of games, have been not only been making zombie -derived games like Dead Rising or Resident Evil (yes I’m aware they are not all zombies), but many different types of games are now seeing Zombie Modes as well. This brings up a question that I’ve asked myself over and over about said zombie ramifications in non-Zombie games: Are developers just cashing in on the dead? Let’s look at a couple of examples. Call of Duty Black Ops has re-introduced the ever popular ‘Zombie Mode’ in the newest edition to the Modern Warfare name, and already there is an undeniable distance that gamers have placed with this game, mostly due to the drama between Activision, Infinity Ward and Treyarch; however ‘Zombie Mode’ recaptured the interest of many naysayers. This mode has made headlines so big that the fact the game lacks co-op or spec -ops is all but dismissed in most circles. Two important game modes that I believe would not have gotten removed without negative feedback had there not been a ‘Zombie Mode’. Now that’s not to say there isn’t a market for these modes or games. I think Red Dead Redemption’s new DLC will sell copious amounts due to mostly just being zombies. I mean really…who can be mad at a zombie cow? Just one personal account, I just informed an associate of said DLC and not only does he not own Red Dead but has never played it either. Now he is interested in buying the game as well as the DLC all because I said Zombie Cow. Even Wikipedia has an entry for “Zombie Video Games” with a listing by date and developer of games made with zombies. Just in the last year we have 14 zombie games. So what do you say? Over used cash cow? Warranted but you can live without? Uggghhhhhhh? At least it still holds true that video games do not rot our brains….it’s just that zombies eat them in the process. As for the image…we already know that sex sells…apparently Zombies do as well.

The Game of the Year edition of Borderlands will include early access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo, most likely the same one shown at PAX West not too long ago. There is currently no word when that demo will become available, just that those who buy the game will get early access to it. Source

Yaw (pronounced as “yao” like Yao Ming) the NBA Community Manager from EA Canada posted some very interesting news earlier today. First of all the game is no longer going by the name of NBA LIVE. EA has decided to change the name because it’s going through a major overhaul and they don’t feel that the name is fitting. Actually this is the way that Yaw described it: we believe that NBA ELITE will revolutionize the way you think, feel and play basketball video games — forever. The dev team is driving never seen before innovation in the form of a number of features that are radically different than what you have seen in previous NBA games. The very first change they say that will be noticed is the revised control scheme. Starting with NBA Elite 11 you will have control over everything within the game; from offense to defense, the shooting which is based on skill and not just clicking a button and hoping that the AI will do the rest, dribbling is now a one-to-one movement action which means you can now link moves together. What does that mean you ask? Well you can user moves like euro-steps, dunk adjusts, spin-moves and so much more, this should really give the hard core NBA fans what they’ve always wanted. Check out the video below to see how the game is shaping along: It seems like EA pulled out all the stops and wanted to up the ante on the way all of their sport games are going to be played. When I watched the video I noticed that it seems like some of the animation and physics were taken from the latest NHL games, and that’s because some of the ideas were, games like NHL, FIFA, and even Fight Night paved the way in making NBA Elite 11 the game it’s turning out to be. Even with all of these improvements EA didn’t stop there. They even included unique ball deflections, various player collisions and all the other little things that make the NBA so entertaining to watch. I think the other cool aspect of getting NBA Elite 11 is that it’s going to come with three different modes of NBA JAM. That’s right the old classic that everyone loved to play except it’s coming with updated teams as well as HD. The demo for NBA Elite 11 is schedule to hit the PSN in mid to late September. Talk about BOOMSHAKALAKA!!

NBA Elite 11, New Controls, and NBA JAM

People are extremely angry as am I that Capcom is adding Move support to Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition and not the original Resident Evil 5. They claim that they cannot patch the original game so that it supports Move due to technical reasons. I have a hard time believing this to be true. It just doesn’t make sense how seemingly identical games could be different enough to cause that much of a problem. It just seems like Capcom isn’t trying at all and are only doing this to make a bigger profit. It makes absolutely no sense why the RE fans that went out and bought the game when it was first released are being snubbed over people that waited over a year. It sends a message that the people that supported their game from day one are less important, and that maybe we should all wait a year to buy games just to make sure that we don’t miss out on a better version of the game that has more options and better support. If more fans did this, companies wouldn’t have made enough money on the game to make a gold edition in the first place. I get that video games are a multibillion dollar business and that companies make games to make money but we aren’t stupid. We have a pretty good idea when these companies are just trying to milk us and this is one of those times. I mean Capcom has been doing this to fans for years. We have all seen them milk game properties like Mega Man and Street Fighter II. At what point is enough, enough I think they are making a huge mistake and I really hope that Capcom changes their collective mind on this one. It’s a real tragedy that we all can’t enjoy this new feature over such a ridiculous issue and I refuse to buy the same game and DLC just to be able to do so. It’s insane to expect us to buy the same game twice especially those of us that bought all of the DLC as well. Capcom, you should be ashamed. Below is a link to the article featuring a review of Move controls in Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition and the scathing  responses to the lack of support for the original version.

No Move support for Resident Evil 5

A few days ago, I finished up the story missions for Red Dead Redemption . And I must say, I was impressed. It brought me back to my wide-eyed youth when I was first stunned by just how brilliant video games could be with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2004. It is a beautifully written, beautiful looking video game. Now, without further ado, here are my six thoughts on RDR . This post contains spoilers, so please read it at your own risk. One: It’s one of the best video games I’ve played in a long, long time. Perhaps I’m gushing, but too me, RDR is the premier console game right now. Bar none. It’s my early pick for game of the year. I’ve seen the negative review videos on YouTube, like this one (where a kid calls reviews a game he purchased [somehow] after pledging never to buy a violent video game again and attempted to break his GTA IV disk in a previous video where he denounces all games except Madden .), and this one (where a greasy haired dude compares RDR to Just Cause 2 , when Just Cause 2 doesn’t even take place in the same freaking millennium.) and I must say, they don’t hold much water. As far as I know, they’re trolls who are just looking for the video hits. In my honest opinion, Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games of the year, if not the best. Perhaps I’m biased, but everything seems great in the game. Gameplay, writing, graphics, missions, hell even the soundtrack is pretty good. Two: It’s not as much like GTA as I expected. In Grand Theft Auto IV, I actually wanted to commit crimes in-game. Steal a Super GT, swerve onto the sidewalk, run over fifteen people leaving a Bean Machine, slam into a cop car, and have a four-star wanted level while NOOSE chases me from Algonquin to Broker and up to Bohan, and finally have my car explode as I cross into Alderney. In Red Dead Redemption , I didn’t want to commit any crimes. Okay, so I may have shot a few people in Armadillo. Maybe I dragged a guy with my lasso from behind my horse. Who didn’t? But, for some reason, I didn’t pathologically want to steal every vehicle (horse or buggy) I passed, like I did in Grand Theft Auto . During the entire storyline of RDR , I had two horses. Two. I added another after the storyline was done. During the entire storyline of GTA IV , I had an estimated 150 cars, if not more. I hardly ever killed anyone who didn’t deserve it, or that the person who I was doing the mission for didn’t like. Three: I actually felt like I was connected to the characters. I don’t know why, but after I finished up the missions for a likable character, like Landon Ricketts or the MacFarlanes, they always seemed to say something like “See you around, but probably not. Have a good life, buddy.” And I don’t know why, but I always felt a twinge of sadness whenever those cutscenes played. I attribute this mostly to the stellar writing in game. The writers did an excellent job making the characters as relatable as they could be in a game set in the Old West and giving each character their own personality and traits. And that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a video game. Four: I actually wanted to do the storyline missions. In the Grand Theft Auto series, I did storyline missions randomly. After I got bored exploring the world, I’d do a few missions to unlock the next island. In RDR , I actually wanted to advance the storyline. Sure, the obligatory errand boy missions were downers, as were the early missions, which had you herding cows (?), lassoing horses and participating in races, which weren’t even available outside of those one or two missions. But most of the missions featured a decent amount of gunplay, especially the ones in Mexico, Spoiler: Describes a few missions where you’re either killing the Mexican Army for the Rebels, or killing the Rebels for the Mexican Army, and the last couple for the federal agents, where you wipe out Dutch’s gang using everything from your six-shooter to a Gatling gun in what seems like a medieval tank. In Grand Theft Auto , it’s usually like “Go here, and shoot these people who I don’t like.” Five: The ending is sad and kind of sucks. Spoiler: Describes the ending The final mission, The Last Enemy Shall be Destroyed, is one of the saddest endings I’ve ever experienced. It’s almost as depressing as the end of Soylent Green . The spoilers kick in right after this, so be prepared. After fighting waves of of Army men, John, Jack and Abigail escape into their barn. After kissing his family goodbye and sending them off on a horse, John looks outside and sees a ton of Army dudes. The game switches into ‘Dead-Eye’ mode, and you have time to get off six shots from your revolver of choice before John goes down in a hail of bullets. A cutscene plays, which shows the federal agent, Edgar Ross, who took your family away and forced you to go on suicide missions to catch your former gang members, lighting a cigar and walking away. It then cuts too Jack and Abigail, standing over John’s body, crying. This ending sucks for numerous reasons. You stop playing as John Marston. I can’t think of one other sandbox game where the protagonist dies at the end of the storyline (if you know one, please tell me in the comments). The suckiness of this ending is amplified because… Six: The final thought Six: I hate playing as Jack. Jack Marston is not on the same level as his father as a character. And his whiny voice is epically annoying. All kidding aside, Jack Marston isn’t a good character. As my kid sister said when she saw me playing as him “he’s scary”. Even John Marston and his weird scar looked better than Jack and his permanent scowl. John Marston had some pretty good dialog in game, like “People don’t forget. Nothing gets forgiven.” or “It’s you or me. And the way I see it, might as well be you.”. Jack’s is “Work you damn nag!” in a voice that I shed at the age of 12. This whole section may sound incredibly superficial, but if you look around the forums , Jack’s voice seems to be the main thing that people dislike about the game. Well, that, and the inability to swim.
