I’m not to sure when this game was created but it sure is addictive.  The game works off a pretty creative physics engine allowing the player to creatively eliminate all the red (miserable) boxes on the screen while keeping the green (happy) boxes on the screen safely.  The levels start pretty easy and, of course like any other game, it progressively becomes harder.  With a par mode and some bonus levels, it should pass the time you need to kill at work, school, home, etc.

Okay, they are not “Bombing” the moon but more so putting a little hole in it to further their search for water.  The missile is supposed to travel at twice the speed of a bullet a blast a hole big enough to further their research.  On October the 9th the missile will hit the moon’s surface near the South Pole.

You can watch a live TV broadcast of the LCROSS mission on NASA TV.  According to NASA the impact should happen at 7:30am.

Yes thats correct!  Ryo is back, but it might not be quite the way you were expecting.  He will be racing alongside some of Sega’s other well known characters in Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing.  With his classic motorcycle and forklift at his disposal you better watch your back Sonic!  What next for the Shenmue franchise?  Lan Di in a tennis sequel?

You may have noticed a new trend in gaming called downloadable content (or DLC).  This provides the user with the convenience of staying home and retrieving new and/or game content.

If we take a look at the near future you can probably see that there may be a media missing, the actual game disc.  No to say this will really happen, but if you think about it, it’s not that farfetched.  Imagine going to a Gamestop to pick up your new GTA or Zelda or Madden (whatever you crazy kids play these days) and instead of being handed a new fresh disc and case you are handed a piece of laminated cardboard with a random line of letters and numbers.  Nothing to look at and nothing to put on your shelves!

What would come of humanity?  How would we feel if we were actually given the feeling that we were just another number?  Would that mean the gaming industry would be turning its back on the us gamers?  Unless everyone is given the gift of the internet, there will always be a disk or something of the sort.  Again, we don’t know if this would ever happen, but what if?

Lets see… what has happened between the then and now?  A newfound respect for 2-D fighters, Halo’s extremely boring ODST, Halo’s extremely intense firefight mode, PSP go, Left 4 Dead‘s extremely short ‘Crash Course’ and the emerging rumors of a Super Street Fighter IV.

We all know that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was always a great game but who knew it could be better?  With a highly addictive and beautiful presentation this game rivals the likes of the current BlazBlue and Street Fighter IV.  For those who kill for unlockables will be a little disappointed  with the fact that they did away with the shop and have given you everything up front.  The online matches are intense and the others on Live will be sure to give you a run for your money.

Halo’s ODST “dropped” in September and, from our opinion, did not deliver.  For what could have been an easy patch turned into something bigger and not much better.  With a bland storyline and amazing firefight mode it leaves you with the feeling that you may have just been ripped off.  Given the firefight rivals that of the Halo multiplayer it still makes you feel that there should have been more.

Now for that darn little PSP Go.  wtf.

For all of those boycotting Left 4 Dead 2 crazies Valve just gave you a big plate of Zombies.  Excuse me, little plate.  A 15 minute long campaign and only consisting of 2 chapters, again, we feel ripped off.  I will have to say, it seems that Valve is really trying to just shut people up.  I will be purchasing L4D 2, but I have to agree with the boycotters, where is the DLC?

Back to fighters.  We have recently been doing some research on the Super Street Fighter rumors and have been surprised to see some screenshots consisting of Dudley, T.Hawk and Dee Jay.  I think Street Fighter IV had a great line-up, but I am excited to see what and who they add in this one.

Need I say more?

As well all know there was a giant uproar in the Valve community after the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2.  Gamers and zombie enthusiasts alike were angered at the fact that the next installment was already being released when there was more DLC promised for the first.

From the looks of things it seems Valve has slightly turned its back on the gamers.  They are very well known for their dedication to the software they put out and are great in the way that they continually add content to those products allowing us to avoid dishing out more money for a whole new game.  It now seems that Valve has come across their cash cow.  I’m not saying that I won’t be purchasing L4D2, but I hope this doesn’t repeat.  There still hasn’t been any new levels that were “promised” for the original (except for the addition of the survival mode and the now finished versus mode).  No new campaign levels haven’t even been released and we already have 2?  Come on Valve, seriously?  This is kind of a let down, but I’m sure that it is still going to be great.  What can I say?  I’m a sucker for zombies.

It appears that Fable III was announced at this year’s Gamescon.  I never realized that Fable II was such a success, then again I was never that much of a fan so I didn’t play to much of it.  In this addition you will now be able to become the ruler of Abion.  The other new features are unclear, but they also announced that Fable 2 will be re-released to the XBLA as an “episodic XBLA download”.  Looks like you Fable fans are going to have your hands full with new content!
