No Euro Rock Yet
It seems somebody has made a little mistake by saying that Rock Band 2 will not hit our shores this year instead it will come out in November only in America and will also grace the 360 first and will eventually come out on the other systems.
A spokesperson from EA said that “There was a misunderstanding and there is no confirmed date for Europe.”
With Guitar Hero 4 out this year over here it would of been silly of EA to go up against it but it is EA and I’m surprised they haven’t gone up against Activision this time.
As soon as we get a release date for Rock Band 2 i will let you know.
No commentsCall of Duty World at War Trailer
Well here is the first trailer for Call of Duty World at War and i do have to say that Treyarch are sticking to there word when they say that it will be the most brutal of the Call of Duty, but don’t take my word for it check out the trailer and tell me what you think.
We finally get Rock Band
Oh Rock Band how you tease us with all of those new tracks and cocky Americans laughing at us because they have had the game since late last year well it’s finally time for us to get a bit of this gorgeous cherry.
The date we have to look out for is as early as May 23rd (yes that early) however we don’t have a price yet but EA might announce that today at a press event they are holding.
Just to make things a little more sweeter we get a few tracks those Americans didn’t get plus all 70 downloadable songs that are available via the US marketplace will also be available from day one with EA also stating that from May 27th all songs will be available on both American and UK marketplace.
So i guess it is now time to go and preorder yourself a copy and take out a bank loan just in-case, plus i also think it’s best if you clear a lot of room as there is enough kit to take up a full spare room.
Update - the price has just been released and cop a hold of this
Instruments (Drums, Guitar and Microphone) = £129.99
Game = £49.99 (everywhere will sell it at £39.99)
Total = £179.98 (£169.98 hopfully)
Grand Total = A shit load of money
Thanks very much EA for bleeding us dry
Update 2 - If you head over to the nice people at Play.com you will be able to get the instruments at £99.99 (saving 23%) and the game at £39.99 (saving 20%).
you will also be able to buy the drums and the guitar on there own with the drums costing you £69.99 and the guitar £59.99.
So thanks to Play.com it is’nt going to be that bad in the end.
As soon as i get pricing information from Game.com and Gamestation i will let you know.
1 commentResident Evil 0 on Wii
A quick piece of news here but it seem’s that the big videogames magazine in japan Famitsu has said that Resident Evil 0 will be heading to the Wii sometime this year.
Now this is just a rumor and it’s unknown if this will just be a port of the Gamecube or if this will be a remake like they did with the original Resident Evil.
As soon as more info is released we will let you know.
No commentsSSBB Opening Trailer
Well here is another SSBB trailer for you to drool over as i can’t wait for the game to come out over here (whenever that is).
So feast your eyes over it and tell me what you think.
No Manhunt
A quick piece of news here that will be bad news to those that are waiting for Manhunt 2 over on our shores.
The game will not see the light of day as the High court has overturned the decision the appeals committee made late last year.
The appeals committee decided to over turn the BBFC decision and say that the game can be released however the BBFC went into a strop like a five year old kid and went to the high court, well it now seems that the babies got there own way by stopping the game from getting released over here.
If anymore news happens on Manhunt 2 we will let you know
No commentsIt’s time to be alone in the Dark again
Atari has finally decided to set a release date for there upcoming Alone in the Dark and it’s much closer than thought.
The game is set to scare us sometime in May on the 360, Wii, PS2 and PC however the release date for the PS3 version has’nt been set yet.
The game is set around Central Park and will be split into episode chapters that will see players surviving over each on of the chapters.
It was also rumored that the Wii version would be different however it will still have the same layout as the 360 and PC version but it will not have the same graphics power behind like the 360 and PC versions.
As soon as i get my hands on a copy i’ll post up a review for it so keep a look out for that.
No commentsSuper Smash Bros Brawl Delayed
In an obvious piece of news it seems that Nintendo have delayed Super smash Bros brawl to the 31st January in Japan and early March In america however we still don’t have a release date for our shores.
In case you don’t know what SSMB (for everybody who has just gotten back from Mars) it’s an over the top Beat-Em-Up of sorts that pits all of your favorite Nintendo characters (including Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Sonic) against each other to see who can kick the most crap out of there foe.
When we get a release date for our shores we will let you know but until then you can hate Japan even more with them getting it in a few weeks time.
No commentsVagusnet Gaming Awards 2007
As promised here are the first Vagusnet gaming awards, this year has been one of the best for gaming showing what each console can bring to the floor to make it stand out, yes the poor PS3 hasn’t had a great year but it has to start somewhere and we know that Sony will not quit with there machine.
The biggest surprise of the year has to be the success of Wii, nobody could of predicted that it would people just laughed at it now Nintendo are laughing back them.
The Xbox 360 also a great year showing off what the console can do with a string of fantastic games.
So without further ado here are my winners for the best games of the year.
Xbox 360 Game of the Year
Now this was a hard choice as there were alot of fantastic games out for the 360 including Halo 3, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 etc but for me there could only be one winner and that is……….. Call of duty 4.
For me Call of Duty 4 had everything and that the multi player mode in my eyes is the best I’ve played on the 360.
Wii Game of the Year
Like with the 360 category this was another hard one as the Wii had a brilliant year with the likes of Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime Corruption, Resident Evil 4 and many more released on the little white console, however there was one game that stood head above the rest and that was…….. Super Mario Galaxy.
I guess there is no surprise there however it was the best game out on the Wii this year and it was a welcome return to form for the little plumber.
PS3 Game of the Year
Unlike with the other two categories this was a bit more easier as the PS3 didn’t have the great year than it thought so there was only one title in the running for this in my eyes and that is……. Uncharted Drakes Fortune.
Finally a game came out this year that showed what the PS3 can do and it could only mean good things if they can follow the template of this game.
DS Game of the Year
The DS came on even more leaps and bounds this year kicking the PSP butt again and again, the little handheld showed Sony how to do a portable gaming system and it broke record after record.
The game that stands out for me however on the DS this year is…… Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass.
Links first outing on the DS was a huge game and it pushed the DS to its limits with some of the best portable gaming that has ever been made.
PSP Game of the Year
Now this is a hard one for me as I’m not a fan of the PSP but there has to be a winner in each of the categories and i have decided to go with…….. Silent Hill Origins.
The game did come out to near the end of the year but i was a big fan of the Silent Hill series and this showed that survival horror can be done on a handheld console, the best thing however was that this wasnt a remake but a whole new story.
Overall Game of the Year
this is the last category, now i know that you are thinking that he didn’t do very many but i did want to go down that same route as ever single videogame award i just wanted to point out the best one each one of the systems.
So now down to business with the overall game of the year and for me this was easy as one game was the biggest shining light at the end of the gaming tunnel and that was……… Super Mario Galaxy.
Now I’m a huge Nintendo fan and i was waiting for this game for ages and to my joy this was every bit that game i was waiting for. Nintendo crafted out a game from pure gaming gold and gave another spin on the Mario formula showing the other companies on how to make and adventure game.
That’s it those are my picks for the game of the year and next year should be even more interesting as each one of the consoles should of found there feet, with the PS3 clawing back at the other two, The 360 having it’s third birthday and onto more impressive game and the Wii pushing even more boundaries with it’s unique selling points.
