Fresh screens for EA’s Medal of Honor reboot

So,Medal of Honoris going modern, and here’s what it looks like. A modest collection of new screens for EA’s series reboot has hit the Internet today, featuring tanks, beards, guns, and all the shades of brown that a current-gen game needs. Medal of Honorhas never really been able to stand up toCall of Duty, but Electronic Arts is definitely hoping to give the series an edge with this new title. Whether it succeeds remains to be seen, though we can tell you it’s going to have to do a lot more than wearModern Warfare‘s clothes in order to beatModern Warfare....

Friday Night Fights: Borderlands or Die! edition

Why yes, I did give my post aBorderlandstheme for the sole purpose of creating that goofy image. In the words of Muldoon fromJurassic Park, “clever girl.” Anyway, things are going along as usual. I’ll be hosting a rousing match ofBorderlandstonight in my mind, so join me, if you’d like. I imagine when the game launches that’s all anyone will be doing for Friday Night Fights next week, which means we should get all other games out of our system while we still can....

Friday Night Fights: Double XP Weekend edition

Apologies for the lack of a Friday Night Fights post last week; I was traveling to the Destructoid Cincinnati NARP and had no way of getting the new post up, unfortunately. I was, however, thinking about all of you while I was gone (please don’t stone me!). But now it’s time to stop living in the past, and instead focus on the present. There’s a slight shift in game choice for tonight’s FNF, as double experience points will be given out on all playlists forboth console versionsofCall of Duty 4....

GameFly also has a bunch of games for under $20

As a nice balance tothe Amazon saleConrad told you about, I wanted to make sure everyone saw GameFly’s sale which also happens to feature games conveniently priced below that $20 sweet spot. There’s some overlap, and of course these games are used copies, but that shouldn’t matter too much. Some of the highlights includeHalo 3: ODST,BioShock 2,Splinter Cell: Conviction,Metroid: Other M,Lost Planet 2, andFinal Fantasy XIII— just to name a few....

Gamers For Gaming: The plan revealed

It should be no secret to the more observant amongst you that the current debacle surroundingManhunt 2has hit a nerve with myself and Jim. It’s not that we feel particularly protective of the game itself, or of Rockstar as a developer. What we have a serious issue with is the principle at stake here. Like many of you, we adamantly feel that such an action against any piece of media is an action against civil liberty and freedom of choice, and with your help, we want to try use our position as games journalists to do something about it....

Games time forgot: Apocalypse

If there is a man alive more hardcore or badass than Bruce Willis, I don’t know who he is. Back in the good old mid-90’s, Bruce was everywhere.Die Hard.Twelve Monkeys.The Fifth Element. Not to mention a few years spent inMoonlighting, which was an achievement in itself – anyone who can spend more than a few months around Cybill Shepherd without punching her lights out is to be congratulated. “But Bruce,” his legion of male, teenage fans said....

Gamings Guilty Pleasures: Games for girls

[Editor’s note: Sadie G is one tough girl. But there’s a softer side to her and she reveals that side to us as part ofApril’s Monthly Musings. — CTZ] We could sit here and debate the girl gaming phenomenon for a few days or you could just bypass everything you think and know of the subject and just focus on the fact that as “tough” as I might be, I enjoy a lot of games that are typically marketed towards girls....

GC 10: Getting giddy over Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood

I loveAssassin’s Creed II. I love it so much that I may or may not have had a nose bleed when playing it. So far, Ubisoft have shown us plenty of videos and even given us some hands-on with the newAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Today we got to see and discuss the single-player mode. For those that have seen some of my previous videos, you will entirely understand me when I said that I “fan-girl’d” out and sat like a wide-eyed child for the whole presentation....

GDC 09: League of Legends was a pleasant surprise

Here’s my prediction:League of Legendsis going to be a popular game. Don’t be ashamed if you don’t know what it is, though. Even though I’ve heard the name before, I didn’t really know what the game was before today. Now I’ve come away pretty excited about the upcoming title. League of Legendsis an online multiplayer battle real-time strategy PC game from Riot Games. This is their first game, coming from a senior staff with several notable members: art director Hokyo Kim did art on Sucker Punch’sSly Coopergames; director Mark Franz worked onUltima OnlineandSims Online, and Ian Pieragostini was the lead engineer on for EA’sGodfatherand for Microsoft Racing Studios....

Get Shining Force on your iPhone today

Frankly, Sega’s attempts to exploit the iPhone have been disappointing, to say the least. Needlessly expensive and steeped in inferior controls, ports ofSonic the HedgehogandStreets of Ragesimply haven’t been worth buying at Sega’s inflated prices.Shining Forcefor three bucks, however? Now we’re approaching a decent offer. The classic tactical RPG has hit the North American iTunes Store today for $2.99, and is already out in Europe. Given the fact that it’s much slower paced, the touchscreen controls should make for a much more satisfying experience than a fast-paced platformer like Sonic....

GOG.com is out of beta, back with Baldur’s Gate

Have you forgiven Good Old Games for the faux site closure? I have. At the end of the day, I’m not going to hold a silly grudge against one of the incredibly few companies trying to rid the gaming world of DRM over one marketing stunt. Even the best of the best make mistakes from time to time. Anyway, GOG.com is officially out of beta, and back with plenty of new website features and a little game calledBaldur’s Gate: The Original Trilogy....
