LittleBigPlanet 2 Already In Development?

Even though LittleBigPlanet is just now finding its way into the hands of rabid gamers like Anthony, Sackboy and his army of cuteness isn’t quite finished just yet. It’s being reported that Media Molecule is already hard at work on the sequel.

I guess Sony has really latched onto this game, which makes sense, given they don’t have much of a face for their franchise this gen as of yet. While I am curious to play the game, admittedly I wondered if it would be any fun past week one or two, once I had made my phallic level and moved on. However, I’m hearing lots of great things, and the game is tempting like a tractor beam in its pull.

What about you guys? Who’s gotten to play it yet?

CoD: World at War Nazi Zombie Gameplay

Since Treyarc announced CoD: World at War’s Zombie co-op mode, I’ve been dying to see a little bit more gameplay. What you see here is some of the basic components of the mode, including the economy system, where players can buy pieces of lumber, furniture, etc, to barricade the zombies from attacking.

To me, the cool thing is that it’s all of the WWII action tropes combined with something you don’t always play. Plus, it’s limitless, so that’s a good time. Looks like a blast.

Call of Duty: World at War Announces Zombie Mode!

Wow, this may have just solidified my purchase of Call of Duty: World at War. Treyarc just announced on GameTrailers TV that there is going to be a Nazi Zombie co-op mode, where 4 players man a base against an endless wave of Nazi zombies.

Players fend them off for as long as they can, moving up in levels as they do so. There’s also a money system that allows players to buy materials for barricades, ammo, different, guns, etc.

If you want to watch the whole thing, head over to GameTrailers and check it out. I’d post the whole thing, but they don’t split up the eps for a few days.

Who else things this is freaking cool? I mean, zombies enhance everything, right?

Dead Space: Protagonist Video

Who here has gotten to play Dead Space? I’m still waiting for it to get to me in the mail with GameFly. I’m not always into survival games (on the count of me acting like a wuss), but I’m really curious to see this one, because of the cool sci fi setting. I loved this new video about the main character.

Anyone played it yet?

Are We Really Ready For Next Gen?

Over the years, I’ve owned a lot of consoles. At one point or another I’ve been the master of the NES, Atari, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Sony Playstation (uno, dos, tres) the GBA, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, XBox, GameCube, XBox 360, PSP, the PC and Nintendo Wii. I like consoles, and the games that come with them. Each console represents a unique period of my life, in which I had a chance to become familiar with the system like a new friend, watching as they grew into their own.

The newest generation of consoles is starting to gather its steam, and so far things have been decent. However, as of late, more and more people are starting discussions about the next generation beyond the 360, the Wii and the PS3, speculating about development and wanting to know when the new systems will drop. My question is: is it time to be talking about this already? Have the big 3 earned an investment in a new console just yet?

Army of Two, the Movie?

In yet another case of making a video game movie that nobody even cares about, it seems that EA is talking to Universal about a possible Army of Two movie. Sigh.

Right now a writer from the Bourne Ultimatum is on the project, with EA holding on to the producer rights. While this is all well and good, I wish that somebody would tell people to stop making movie games that nobody is interested in.

Instead, they keep turning irrelevant games into irrelevant movies, and everybody’s confused as to why these things don’t succeed. Oh well.

Thoughts? Did anyone actually play Army of Two? Maybe this movie will have awesome high-five action!

Resident Evil 5 Interview

Well, one game that is managing NOT to find its way into the public sphere over the next month is Reisdent Evil 5, which actually doesn’t come until March of 2009. Good thing, too, because I’d hate to miss it while playing the other 80 games on my plate (that’s an exagga-lie).

Anywho, a new video interview is out, going over the control schemes found in RE5 as well as some other tidbits. Lots of sweet gameplay footage (the graphics are ludicrous), including co-op and even some vehicle combat. Good times.

Penny Arcade Episode 2 Out Next Week

As if there’s not already enough great games to play, Penny Arcade’s Xbox Live Arcade and PC title, “On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2” is going to hit next week, on October 29th. It will run about $14.95 in moneyz or 1200 MS Points, depending on which medium you choose to play it in.

Supposedly it totals in at around 6-10 hours of gameplay, with more levels than the first, new areas, and new jokes, of course. I’m not sure how many of you guys were able to play the first game, but I found it to be pretty enjoyable, especially for an XBLA title. I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you’ve got the MS points, or if you’re a fan of PA in general.

Also, Episode One is finally hitting the PSN this week as well, so if you’re a Sony guy, you can finally experience that.

Sexy Metal Gear PS3 is Sexy

In what may be one of the hottest and most awesome custom consoles I’ve ever seen, Morpheon Mods has listed a Metal Gear Solid themed PS3 on EBay. The console and controller are fitted with all kinds of crazy modifications to make this thing sleek as hell, and you can even view the design at night, because of a bunch of LEDs fitted to it. Oh yeah- Kojima signed, it too.

In addition, it comes with a bunch of MGS goodies, some of them rare and unique. On top of all of that, 15% of sales will be going to the Penny Arcade “Child’s Play” charity.

I am seriously in awe. Go check out the pictures!

Saint’s Row 2 Thugs Me Out

So after forcing myself to finish GTA IV last week and feeling slightly underwhelmed, I decided to grab Saint’s Row 2, having heard from several gamers that it is just maddeningly fun. I wasn’t too impressed with what I played at PAX, but that was an early build, so I gave it a go…

As of now, I’ve dumped about 5 or 6 hours into the game in just a day, and I have to say, I could see it being more fun than GTA IV by the time I’m done.

FarCry Fridays Video

As one of the bigger releases of the holiday season, I think FarCry2 has gone a bit under-hyped in terms of some great first-person action. Just a look at this video shows some of the great things that the first game was loved for. Namely, the graphics, the variety and all the crazy explosions. Looks like a good time.

Resistance 2: Last Hours Trailer

A new trailer just launched for Resistance 2, titled “Last Hours”. It’s a pretty epic collection of things from the game that I have to admit got me pretty pumped. This is another one of those games that keeps falling off the radar and then jumping back into my peripheral… I think the thing I’m most excited about is the co-op mode, which can be done with up to 8 players from what I hear. Fun times.

Who else is getting this game for sure?

O Noz! Worldwide LittleBigPlanet Delay!

Wow. In news that’s just downright shocking, it was announced today that LittleBigPlanet is being recalled worldwide, which will result in a delay. The game was supposed to release this next week, but will now be shipped again on Oct. 27th.

The reason? Apparently, there are some audible phrases of the Qu’ran playing in the background of a portion of the soundtrack. It seems that a group wrote to Media Molecule informing them that mixing music and the Qu’ran is deeply offensive to muslims, so all copies of the game are being pulled worldwide.

Dragon Age Coming to Consoles?

One of the more interesting things I saw at PAX a few months back was Dragon Age: Origins, from famed developer Bioware. It looks to have some great hack and slash gameplay and a great story to boot. From what I saw, it was one of my more anticipated games of the next year along with Diablo III.

Well, for those of you who refuse to play games on your PC, this should be some good news, then. It seems that Dragon Age is coming to consoles in late 2009. A Bioware dude even confirmed that it would be coming to both the 360 and the PS3.

Trust me, this is good news. This game is going to be awesome. Who’s excited?

Call of Duty: World at War Multiplayer Trailer

Another in a long line of trailers is now out for Call of Duty: World at War, this one highlighting the multiplayer versus modes that are sure to be the glory of many. So far, CoD4 has some of the best console multiplayer I’ve yet experienced in this generations. I’m curious how this one stacks up, though something tells me it’ll be pretty sweel at as well. Thoughts?

PS3 Mod Improves Load Times

Since I know some of you are into modding and the like, I thought I’d post this little find from Engadget, where it claims that the new Intel 80 GB X25-M SSD can boost your load times.

While this won’t help on those absolutely unbearable install times on games like MGS 4 and DMC 4, it’ll certainly help on demos you’ve downloaded and on already installed content. And that’s a start, no?

Unfortunately, this thing runs the price of a PS3 and a half at $600, but hey, to each his own.

LBP: Final Fantasy VI, Terras Theme

Ah, more merry music-making from Little Big Planet. This time, the music is from Final Fantasy VI rather than X, which is a much better choice for nostalgia and awesome factor. I know it’s been stated a lot, but somehow it still seems appropriate- I’m dying to see what people do with the full release of this game.
