Day of Defeat: Source gets Achievements, Map and More!

Only a little while ago, did a patch hit the web for a game called Day of Defeat Source. The patch’s name is ‘Palermo’ and that is also the name of the map players get. Not only does this fix a few technical glitches and bugs, but it adds fifty-freakin’-one achievements, and more community features. Also in the patch comes a post-death freeze cam. And this Ladies and Gents is why Valve is one of the best PC developers. If you guys want to add me to steam you can my steam name is: Indielight. I can only play older 1.6 games since my gaming PC fried. My love goes out to Valve. (Keep up the good games!)

Megaman 9: WiiWare Exclusive

Capcom announced a while back that were making Megaman 9 as a Wiiware exclusive making the new entry in the form of 8-bit to make it retro. Wii fans were happy and promptly rubbed into Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 owner’s faces, well Kotaku posted that it would be coming the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network. Those words which brought hope into my cold, gamer heart were empty lies, and Megaman 9 is still a WiiWare exclusives.  In the case of a change I will keep you guys informed. (Xbox Live Arcade still loves you Megaman)

Diablo 3

Okay this is way to large to not post. Blizzard has announced the coming back of their famous RPG series Diablo.  This project has been tight lipped and has been at work for a while now, with gameplay to prove it.  I for one can’t wait for this game, but I will be one of the first to amdit I have not owned a Diablo game, and I will try to get the Diablo Battlechest sometime soon. So Blizz fans let’s here it for Blizzard not turning their back on older game series. And now here is a pretty Blizzard cinematic. I will post more videos in the coming days.

Aye, we have to go back on Hiatus

Right now I am typing this up in a Library since my computer has crashed in a very unexpected way, and I have to wait for it to get fixed up again. Sorry, again and hopefully soon we will be back up until then Link might make some new posts soon.

Battlefield Heroes

EA has been creating a lot of buzz with their games recently because they’re starting to become better and better. And now EA is giving a game out to the public for free. It’s name? Battlefield Heroes. A team based TPS set during WWII via web based browser. It seems like there are no hooks or strings attached, and it’s DICE, the actual makers of the Battlefield series, so it’s in great hands. The game shifts away from the realistic and goes for a cartoony approach ala Team Fortress 2. My guess is that so everyone’s PC has a chance of running it. The initial game will only come with two maps since DICE looks at Battlefield servers and only sees two popular maps being played, although they will add more as game players increase (Hopefully). This game is actually decently high on the list of awesome sounding games.

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword

Team Ninja is another company that is supporting the Nintendo DS with one of the greatest gaming series of all time: Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden is renowned for it’s ability to make people break controllers because of the bloody black ninjas, and excruciatingly agonizing bosses. And on the DS, Team Ninja is going all in with high quality sound, and excellent graphics which really show the power of the DS, although still not as powerful as PSP. The Game is viewed like a book by tilting your DS to the side. This is another win for DS owners, hope you guys enjoy the game (I want a DS now =( )

Here is a gameplay clip for your viewing pleasure.

Motorstorm 2 - Officially Announced

Recently, Sony Entertainment and Evolution Studios announced a new PS3 exclusive, Motorstorm 2. –

“The PlayStation 3 racer is indeed moving from arid Monument Valley to a lush Pacific island, an island apparently known for its remote location and 16 “diverse multi-route tracks.” Instead of mud, rocks, dust and the occasional cliff, MotorStorm 2 will feature natural hazards like “tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, choking volcanic clouds and searing lava pools.” Sounds just fantastic. The official release on the matter talks up an Autumn release, arriving with a “host of game modes and rewards.” - Quoted from Kotaku

Hopefully I’ll get a PS3 before this and MGSIV are released.
