The 101 on Vault 101 – Gamer Lounge Podcast

Finally I’ve been able to add something new to the RSS feed!  It’s not much mind you, but at least it’s something!  🙂  Basically, the whole point of this episode is just to say Fallout 3 rocks.

It’s finally here!  A new episode featuring both Larry and I!  If I do say so myself, this is our best episode yet.  We wrote out some notes to follow during the show, things flow smoothly, and there were no sound hiccups that I could find.

Some topics are Spore: Origins and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the iPod touch/iPhone, free MMO subscription models, Diablo 3 before Starcraft 2, Wrath of the Lich King release date, Warhammer Online, Smallville, Marble Blast Ultra, Star Wars TV series, Larry’s new mac, and more!

Did I mention we actually had a little bit of viewer/listener input this time?  I read one of the comments on the blog dealing with the free subscription model.  That could be you next time!  So leave a comment or send an email to gamerloungepodcast@gmail.com

Timed Buttons Presses Unleashed!

As you may know, I am super excited about the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed. However, after hearing today that to kill bosses you need to successfully complete a series of timed button presses, I’m not so sure anymore. If this is true, hopefully it isn’t a make or break deal. If I have to start the whole level over again because I didn’t hit one button right, (download the Bourne Conspiracy demo if you want to experience that! 🙂 ) that would suck!

Apparently the boss fights are relatively slow going as well. I don’t mind this so much though considering in the movies the fights were always long and drawn out as well. But again, the button pressing sounds stupid. I guess I would have to try it first before I could really say anything, but the thought of bringing down a giant rancor with my upgraded force lightning sounds way cooler to me!

On a final note Xbox Magazine rated it a 7.5, which isn’t great, but still pretty good.  We shall see I guess.

Actually, on another even more final note, they OXM gave Castle Crashers an 8.5!  Nice!  For once this issue has reviews super early!  Now if only the demos weren’t always a few months old…

#11 – The Gamer Lounge Episode – Touchy Pirates!

Arrh maities! In this episode we talk about pirating, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the iPod touch/iPhone, Tropic Thunder, Dr. Horrible, Firefly, DVD release dates, and, as always, so much more!  Unfortunately it was cut short because I had a family reunion I had to head off to, and I had run out of hard drive space.  Both at the same time no less!

Gamespot Give MGS4 Perfect Score

Wow, THAT’S pretty good isn’t it? GameSpot is always a nice place to check out every now and again, and it seems they think Metal Gear Solid 4 is worth a perfect 10! They are not alone in this rating either. I’ve got to admit, this game both looks and sounds awesome. If only I had a PS3 to play it on…

By the way, I finally downloaded and played the Ninja Gaiden II demo. Most of it was pretty cool, but the camera was very annoying at times.

Yet Another Star Wars Character in Soulcalibur

Well, it looks like the main character from The Force Unleashed is now joining Yoda and Darth Vader as yet another Star Wars character in Soulcalibur 4. I believe it is still true that the 360 version will get Yoda and the PS3 will get Vader. Will this “secret apprentice” be offered to both consoles then? Or will they make us pay extra from Xbox LIVE to unlock him? While this Soulcaliber game looks cool, I think this new addition should have been left out and saved for The Force Unleashed. Surely they don’t need to have Star Wars characters to be successful? Or do they? There has already been tons of advertisements for The Force Unleashed and something tells me within a week before it comes out, everyone on the planet will have heard of it.

Anyway, you can check out more images and a trailer of the game HERE.

Far Cry 2 Is a Coming to Consoles!

Far Cry on the PC is easily one of my favorite video games I’ve every played, and even today I would give it an A if I rated it. What? You’ve never played it? Go HERE. You can buy the game from Amazon for only $5.30. Seriously, it will probably be the best $5.30 you’ve ever spent. Think your PC is too crappy to take it on? Check that OVER HERE. (No this isn’t a virus, but yes it will ask you to run a harmless control.)

You might be thinking “Far Cry already came to the 360!” and you would be right, there was a Xbox 360 version. However, it was nothing like THIS. (The site’s in Spanish but the video is in English. YouTube just didn’t have the quality to do this video justice.) While I must admit the PS3 version looks a little better graphically to me, I’m still very excited for this game to get into my hands. If this is the first time you’ve seen the game I’d highly recommend you head over to http://farcry2.com and watch the trailer and read up about the game.
