other October games coming out:
- Medal of Honor: Warfighter - 10 / 23 / 2012 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 major world premiere today... Oh... My ... Crap!

Yes the rumors were true as the earth does spin, Call of Duty's next game is in fact Black Ops 2. But Treyarch's next game is a bit different from the first one that took place in the 1960's cold war, because this sequel takes place in 2025.

Yep, 2025, a huge leap for both Treyarch and Activision. While the game is obviously not a direct sequel, character Frank Woods from the first game does return as a really old war veteran. He actually narrates the video below. Apparently machine turns against man in this one, an overused plot, but still that a minor reveal from very small info.

Here is the vid:

So do you think this will truly be the uprising that Activision needs to bring something new other then the copy/paste stuff from the last four years? Or will this just be another clone? Also, will there be freaking Zombies in this one? Please let there be at least Zombies...

Playstation All-stars Battle Royale announced / Tom West impressed

That's right, and oh jeez. Playstation is making a game that is extremely similar to "Super Smash Bros." games, the difference? It is different!

This game has huge similarities with Nintendo's title, having all company-based characters beating the crap out of each other on a big open level that's unique and whatnot. But there are indeed striking differences, for example: pretty much all of Nintendo characters are E rated fighters at best, Sony however has multiple characters from all types of ratings (Kratos=M, Sackboy=E, Sly Cooper=T, etc.). Another difference is that this game, as far as we know, actually uses life bars instead of the hit point strategy in Smash Bros.. The background also constantly changes, now we aren't sure how this works exactly. The background can go from having Patapon's marching (like the picture above) to becoming a LittleBigPlanet forest world. It seems as though you can pick the actual level stage, like the one above being Hades underworld, and probably picking what backgrounds appear. Agian, nothing is for sure at this point.

Yeah it takes an idea from Nintendo, but all games basically take ideas from somewhere. And I am personally impressed with this game. I don't care if it's Nintendo, Playstation, or Xbox even, I just want to play my favorite characters and beat the crap out of others :D

Now here's a thought, will Xbox do something similar in the future?

So far the only characters revealed are Sweet Tooth, Fat Princess, Kratos, Helghan soldier, and Sly Cooper but many more will be revealed in the coming months. No release date for this game is confirmed?

What do you guys think? Is this a good idea to make a Playstation version of Smash Bros.? Or do you nitpick and believe that creativity is dead?

Skyrim modders add multiplayer

People find new ways to surprise me everyday, but this by far takes the cake. A new mod has been created for Skyrim that adds multiplayer functionality, complete with a friends list and a chat box. At this point, it's in its alpha stages. The character models it uses for other people are just the basic prisoner model and animations don't work yet. You can download the mod here, but be warned, the mod requires A LOT of tampering with the source files of the game. Here's a video of how it looks now.



Let's see how Bethesda reacts to this with their next game.
