Call of Duty Nazi Zombies

This is pretty much the sickest thing I’ve played on live lately. Getting in a party of four players and dominating in Nazi Zombies can produce hours of fun for everyone involved. The never ending, ever increasing, strength of the zombies gets to be overwhelming no matter the guns you have. It’s up to you and your friends to see just how long you can last.

There are many cheats to the game. I wouldn’t recommend them simply because what point is there in that? You are going to cheat just to kill zombies for hours on end. There are things like three guns, grenade glitches, and double tap glitches. These will surely be patched eventually, but until then they are for you to discover and use to your advantage if you really choose to.

There are also tons of strategies. You need to find a room that you can most effectively cover. The best option here would be to eventually put the person with the worst guns against the three windows and have the other three players guarding the entrance for the zombies from the other ten windows or so that you aren’t directly covering. Eventually you’ll need ray guns or some outstanding team work. What’s the farthest level you’ve gotten to? I got to 17 tonight, my first night owning the game.

Madden 10’s New Features

Finally, something new and unheard of was added to the Madden franchise in the upcoming Madden 2010 game. No longer will you have to switch between possessions, quarters, or halves when you’re playing with friends on live. They have finally allowed users to go co-op on xbox live and probably the PSN as well. This is something that they should have added years ago.

Is it worth getting another $60 game just for this? Probably not, but there are probably going to be adding many other new features to the game that will hopefully make the gameplay more realistic and fun for you to play. With Michael Vick back in the league I just hope they won’t give him a cannon for an arm and two wide receiver legs. He’s been in jail, no way he’s kept in peak form.

Non Current Posts

In the next few days I will be publishing some posts that don’t have to deal with current events and things like that. The reasoning being a very busy schedule. I will get you caught up on these events after next week ends and I get more time on my hands, but until then the posts will be generally flat articles that are either a rant about something in gaming or guides to a game. Basically, it will be what started the blog.

As always, I’m looking for guest bloggers, especially for times like this. I get busy, and trying to get a post up everyday gets harder and harder. If you’re interested in doing some guest posting on this blog, leave a comment with the email field filled out with a valid email that I can contact you at. It’s pretty fun blogging on a blog getting so much daily traffic.

Bioshock 2 Has a Release Date

Bioshock 2 was finally given a release date by Take-Two Interactive. The previous game was a game of the year winner. This title is one of the big games of the upcoming fall and holiday seasons. If you’re in North America, you’ll have to wait until November 3rd to get this game (7 days before call of duty 6). For some reason, they are releasing this game over seas first. If you live in Europe you should be able to buy this on October 30th.

I’ve yet to get the chance to play the original version of this game. Is this something you’d want to know the story line for or do you guys think the story of the first game will be irrelevant in the second? I’m probably not going to get the first simply because I don’ t have the time to play it so that I could justify buying it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Trailer

Have you guys seen the newest trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? It’s looking intense. It looks more of a modern style swat type game in many situations compared to unrealistic desert maps and old style bunker type citys. This looks like a true example of modern warfare. It looks like it will appeal more to me than a Call of Duty 4 or 5 because of our abilitiies to relate to the games and settings compared to setting them in the desert in some rural poor country.

What do you guys think? Are you going to be picking this game up on the night it launches or simply pre-order it online? I think I will have to get this game at midnight. It releases on November 10th, 2009. 11-10-09.

Call of Duty: World at War Nazi Zombies

So I played the Call of Duty: World at War Nazi Zombies game mode for the very first time today and would have to say that this game mode is sick. If you have a lot of friends with the game, you’ll probably like playing this. It’s sort of the same concept as Horde in Gears of War 2 only it’s a lot more fun.

If you get into a big party with 4 or 5 of your friends (if this is allowed), you could go on for hours of fun. I only had the ability to play with one friend as I was playing split screen at a friends who only had two controllers, but I liked the concept and enjoyed the game type. I only wish you had the option of skipping the first few rounds somehow. It would make the game a lot better because these rounds are too slow and it’s pretty hard to die. Either that or speed them up.

I suggest that you go try this at a friends house if you don’t have the game yet. It’s made me want to actually buy the game, no matter how bad it really appeared to me. I’m looking for a used copy but the price of the game just won’t go down very far.

Rockstar Co-Founders Form New Company

The co-founders of the very successful gaming company Rockstar have formed a new company. The company is called 4MM Games. Word is that they will start off creating web-based projects as well as mobile games to start the company off and get the money coming in. After reaching enough success in this to get the money required to get a console game up and running, they will move to platform games, likely all three consoles.

With all of the gaming companies that have been here since the start of the industry running out of money, how can we expect them to start their companies in this economy. Maybe they’ll be a great success, but if they don’t get some quality games out soon, they’ll be broke. If they get on their feet soon, they could buy the rights to certain titles from some of these industry founders who are going to be going out of business soon.

Fall 2009 in Gaming

Fall of 2009 is looking more and more promising. There are a few pretty big titles that will be coming out this fall. I’ll name a few. This is nowhere near a complete list, and simply a list of a few games I’m aware of. No release dates are permanent, but they are what’s being speculated around the net based on rumors and possibly some of the given release dates.

Tekken 6 and Bioshock 2 are due to release in October. These two sequels are going to be vastly popular, but they aren’t really games that you’ll see sticking around a few weeks after their release. In fact, depending upon many other factors, you may never see any huge popularity in these games.

We will see the Halo ODSU come out. This will add new missions to the campaign, hopefully not ending the Halo franchise. The new missions are supposed to come with some new maps and then of course we will finally be able to get those achievements that we unlocked but are unachieveable.

Call of Duty 6, or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes out in November. Based on the success of Call of Duty (4) Modern Warfare and Call of Duty 5, we should see this game topping the charts for weeks and weeks to come. If even it’s just players switching from Call of Duty 4 to Call of Duty 6 it would still be in the top 3 games.

Lastly, the game I’m most excited is Assassins Creed 2. We get to finish what we started last year. The story kind of dropped off and left us wondering what happens. I’m excited to continue the story, but if you’ve read my blog posts, you know there are many things that I hope they change within the gameplay.

I’m looking forward to fall of 2009. There are probably various music games like a DJ Hero or Guitar Hero Rockband type game coming out. The obvious Fifa 2010, NHL 2010, and NBA Live 2010. What game coming out this fall are you most excited for? Did I miss any big game launches?

Midway Offered 33 Million

Midway games was offered $33 million for parts of their company by Warner Bros. Midway has been struggling in this economy and has been trying to sell parts of their company since at least March to try and prevent or slow down the financial ruin they are encountering. This offer of 33 million is probably quite a ways off yet, but it’s the start of serious talks between the two companies.

Warner Bros is trying to get their hands on the Mortal Combat series along with buildings in several cities. Personally, I’ll be sad to see the Mortal Combat series leave Midways hands if the deal eventually goes through. This game series is a classic and to see it switch companies would be just brutal. I’ve always enjoyed Midway games and so I’m hoping they not only turn this down, but they can turn their company around too.

Walmart Used Game Kiosks

A few days ago I told you guys about the Walmart used game kiosks. They have recently told us that they are not actually keeping the games that are purchased out of the machines, rather a company called E Play is. So Walmart will not be housing a stock of used games, despite the obvious profitability in it.

Another common thought was ripping the machine off. You can easily make a copy of the UPC code on the game copy and then of course you can burn a disc. Apparently, they have made the machines to not accept burned discs, scratched discs, or fake boxes. Whether this will work or not is not clear. Keep in mind, that they do have your name, address, and credit card number in case you find some sort of exploit and try and take advantage of it.
