So you need a 3DS RPG that's not a Zelda game? Well Square got you covered. Heroes of Ruin is coming to 3ds, with interesting Muliyplayer via streetpass and spotpass. More of this game will be seen at E3 next week.
  

Call Of Duty Elite: you want more stuff? You gotta pay per month for it.

Well they finally did, Activision finally decided to get more money of it's prized cash cow "Call of Duty". The long rumored subscription based service call of duty elite is coming with MW3.Along with map packs, you'll get stat tracking, social networking(which would be free), and I'm sure more. No cost point's yet, but rumored to be lowers than netflix.MP is still free, they are STRESSING that. I'm sure the hardcore CODers are going top jump on this like a fat kid onto a pile of candy, but the average FPS player may not, specially if you are paying for Xbox Live.

Two Big Name Microsoft Game Franchises Rumored to have reveals at E3


Microsoft is rumored to have to big reveals for 2 of its biggest franchisees, Halo and Gears of war. One is a HD remake, the other is a new kinect game.

Halo HD, a remake of Halo Combat Evolved, which has been in the rumor mill since November may make a reveal at E3. Why a remake? Mricosoft wants to ease the new dev into the hearts of Halo Loyalist, why not use a remake of the game that started it all. Plus some gamers, like me, never got to play the first halo, we were too into our PS2s. I hope this is not a XBLA download, other wise I'll be going back to my plan of getting the original for xbox or PC.
Gears of War: Exile, a kinect rail games which has also be in the rumor mill, is also may make it's first viewing at E3. This would be great for the lacking Kinect games department, in both causal and much need hardcore games. I hope the release a gun accessory with it, just using or hand to shoot doesn't seem right, it would just take a update to Kincet's software. I assume the game will feature different characters that are not from the main gears games.

Both these games will make a big splash at E3 if the rumors are true. Lets Hope they are.

PlayStation 4 has begun!......but it's not PS4 yet


Work on PlayStation 4 is underway . Sony VP and CFO Masaru Kato said in a investor's meeting today"this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing that product, I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already underway."
Yes, basically he said "PS4" OR "NGC" is being worked on, but how much work is done on it? I beT we'll find out at E3.

Assassin's Creed Revelations reveal trailer


It's E3 season, and the reveals are comming early. Damn I should get the first assassin's creed soon. It sounds like this could be the last one, or they just fucking with us.
  

Analyzing the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 reveal trailer


Ok. too me it looks like they are sticking to "america can get invaded" stuff like in MW2...and spread it to the rest of the populated world.hence the WW3 reference. While I would love to shoot a frenchmen in his junk, this is getting tiering. Why not china instead of Russia? That was clearly macanov's voice. Why could you just good back to the middle east like in COD4, back when MW was good.

Frist Look at Terra Nova....

Do you like dinosuars? Do you like sci-fi? then this fall, Terra Nova may be for you.



I gotta say, this is the only show this fall I am looking froward to. It's pushing House back an hour, seems like a good spot, but we'll have to see.

  

From The Pile, Floppy Edition X 3: The Flash #11, Fear Itself Spider-Man #1, & Deadpool Annual #1



Let's get started with Flash #11 

The Flash #11 by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins
Won't say much about flash #11, not because it was bad, I just don't like jump into the middle of a story, special this one which seems great, which is has to be because it's setting up Flashpoint. You gotta admit, with one of the flashes appearing to die again and the return of a flash villain, is kinda cool. I would check this book out if you're interested in flashpoint. On to the next book....

Fear Itself Spider-Man #1 by Chris Yost, Mike McKone, and Jeromy Cox

I was originally planing on trade waiting Fear Itself and it's accompanying story-lines , but decided to see who spidey is dealing with this latest Marvel Crisis. I like the views on three different peoples effects on whats happening in the Marvel world (I think sin red skull and the Asgard god of fear are cooking up something). It shows the s many hours after “The Fear” what they are doing. Spidey even saves one, something I think we will see in the other 2 books. How's spidey handling it? Great...for him. After trying to call aunt may, he punches and breaks a brick chimney. At the end, he runs into Vermin, and after being the Kraven's pet rat, I bet he's pissed. I like Fear Itself Spider-Man and may get the other 2 books in the series. Now on to the last book....

Deadpool Annual #1, Part 2 of Identity Wars (see review of part one here) By John Layman, Juan Doe, and Fabio D'Aurio

In DeadPool's visit to this other world, where spider-man is a batman ripoff, He meets his doppelganger, DeathWish, and they his it off. They have a gay old time( no that kind of gay), until he finds out the DeathWish doesn't have a healing factor the hard way. DeathWish gets killed by DeathMask, the Doctor Doom Of this world. What does DeadPool do next, what he does best, killing. I like this story, much better than the spider-Man story. We also get a look at what the hulk of this world looks like at the end. I may get the last book of this storyline, because the deadpool arc has pulled me in more

From the pile: Amazing Spider-man and Green lantern/flashpoint Free Comic Book Day reviews.

Last Saturday was Free Comic book day, and it was my first! My local comicbook store (which is not so local, it's about 50 miles away from my home and this was first visit to it) I was only allowed two free books so I picked FCBD Edition of The Amazing Spider-Man and Green Lantern/Flashpoint. 

FCBD The Amazing Spider-Man: The Way of the spider starts with something all spidey fans may have wanted to see, Spider-Woman (Jessica, the red with a yellow arrow pointing to her crouch one). She is being controlled by The Mandrill, and baboon with human characteristics, you know the typical; talking evil ape that’s in comics. After so quick thinking by spidey, both spiders kick mandrill’s ass, followed by spidey saying “I’M AN AVENGER” to get out of trouble, but it doesn’t work on the hot dog cart guy, no free hot dog for spidey., The whole time the battle was going on, they was being watched by the new madam web and sang-chi, who wants to train spidey due to his lack of spidey sense now, sucks at fighting.  FCBD ASM  was great; Dan Slott did a great job with this. Art wise… well I never been a fan of Ramos’s work. Marvel did this right by not making this a preview book and made an attempt to get new readers to ASM, their best book right now. Now on to FCBD Green Lantern/Flashpoint



What to say about Green Lantern/Flashpoint? Well the first word in my head is disappointment. All DC did was put out a reprint of GL secret origin #1, and a brief flashpoint preview, which was the only reason to get the book. While it did want to get the trade of GL secret origin when it comes out, this was lazy in DC’s part. I know it has just hype for the Green Lantern Movie, but they should have come up with a new one shot like Marvel did. It was the day to bring new readers into comics, while it may have done it, it could have been done better.


I had a great time at my local Free Comic Book Day. In a way, I fulfilled a promise by my mom who wanted to take me last year but due to cars problems could not go. I also found out that there a comicbook convention in the same area in July. FCBD is one of the greatest geek holydays in the year, you go to it next year if you have never been, you’ll love it!
