DC Universe online is comming on January 11

On January the 11, you will be able to take you own idea for a hero or villain, and save some lives , or raise hell in DC Universe online. Today the release date was released. North America will get it on the 11th, Europe will get it 3 days later on the 14th (probably because all the snow , plus they have no snow plows). The game will cost $50 for PC and $60 for PS3 with 30 days free then a $15 monthly fee. I expect that many will disregard the $10 price difference and get the PS3 version, easier than updating your PC. There is a $100 collectors edition than hardcore DC fanboys will nab up. I also expect that many Marvel fans will make Marvel hero rips off in the DCU, Be prepared to see many "Spider-Man" and "Captain America" look a likes. So are you going to join in on the hero  vs villain mayhem in DC Universe online?

a look ahead in gaming next year.

2011 is looking like a great years for gaming. a lot of big games ans sequels are coming, lets take a look at some of them.

Lara Croft gets rebutted, I mean rebooted

Like every thing else in this "You idea is shit, lets use this one but make it better" world, Tomb Raider and Lara Croft is getting rebooted. As seen on the cover of gameinfomer above (I use to get that mag), we see the not too good looking Lara, with what looks like Rambo's Bow. Rumors are that this is a young Lara that washed up on a island.... then turns up she already dead (kidding lost fans, except for that island part). Could this be the first Tomb Raider game that I will play (could never get into the series), we'll see.

Plan your revisit to Oddworld, It's coming to steam

If you're like me and never got a chance to play any of the Oddworld games, here's your chance.OddBoxx is coming to PC vis steam before the end of the year. It will have four games, two already on sale on steam and two new ones that were on Xbox. No release date or price has been set. I bet many will get. this game. If my PC was not dead, I would.

Naked vampires could be coming to Xbox 360.. Microsoft may be planning to bring cable to the 360.

Microsoft may be planning to bring cable channels to the Xbox 360, turning it into a cable box. It may ether be bringing in channels, via cable companies using the console as a cable box, or offer the channels via a xbox cable service. We already have ESPN on xbox (via ESPN 3) and does not sounds to far fetch that MS would do this. Two channels mention were HBO and Showtime, both premium channels. They would be offer ether a la carte (pick and chose of you want them) or just get the shows only. An a la carte

 option for all channels available would be good, there's been talk of doing this for cable for years and could greatly help MS and greatly hurt cable.This service would be offered on xbox live in about 12 months. This is just another step (the next would be DVR consoles) in the evolution of gaming consoles.

Diablo 3 may come to consoles….. maybe & Blizzard’s console woes.

cross post from rock the lan

Blizzard is looking in to porting Diablo 3 to consoles, which for me will make me very happy. Blizzard is looking for a developer that has “experience” in developing console games….. because they don’t. Bizzard has never had a good port of a game, ever played Diablo for Playstation or Starcraft 64? I’ve played Starcraft 64…. WORST PORT EVER! They did make one good console game, The Three Vikings; I heard good things about it. Maybe this time will be different, maybe the merger with Activision will help, may be this one will be good. If the console version of Diablo 3 is bad, may god helps us all.

And if you NEVER played a Diablo game…… find the Diablo battle chest on amazon NOW!!!!
