Jeremiah Slaczka, creative director and CEO of Super Scribblenauts developer 5TH Cell, dropped a tantalizing hint about the company's next project in a statement to Joystiq. "We're not ready to reveal our next original game just yet, but I can say we're using the Source Engine for it," Slaczka told us.

Slaczka wouldn't confirm or deny whether this is the XBLA project mentioned last year. But if it's using Valve's FPS-friendly Source engine, it's unlikely to be a DS game -- and it's unlikely to be Scribblenauts. As for when we can expect to learn more about this mystery project: "Hopefully we'll have something to show people in a few months."

Shit was hilarious, but saddly i was the only one in the audience who actually understood it... on my way out the door people were like " It was funny but they went kinda overboard on the refrences, i only got the ones from batman" and i said "batman?" and the guy said "yeah wasnt most of that stuff like batman and superman and spiderman refrences?" I then walked away. Other than the fact i was the only one nerdy eough to understand it the movie was damn good and hilarious in the way it portrays anime and other current media. I highly suggest it to yall.

my favorite part of the movie is the battle with the fat lesbeon, only because she rages every other second.

Scott Pilgrim is going to be the nerd cult movie of this generation.
Mostly because we don't have Star Trek.
I mean we had that Star Trek movie, but how many people our age even knew future Spock was the originial?
Or that new Spock is Sylar, which is way funnier?

In about a month, people who purchased a 3-month subscription to PlayStation Plus will be faced with one crucial question. What happens to my games when my subscription ends? Joystiq had access to a press-only 1 month trial, and recently found out the answer. Sony's premium online subscription service has offered a number of "free" games -- full PSN games, like WipEout HD and Critter Crunch, and a variety of Minis and PSone classics. However, these titles were all made available with a caveat: they'd remain accessible for as long as your subscription remained active.

Attempting to launch an expired game will trigger this prompt: "This content can be used if you renew the license in PlayStation Store." You'll be able to launch directly into the PlayStation Store, where you will be able to purchase the expired title. For example, we could purchase Aero Racer for its full price of $2.99 from the PlayStation Store. We could also choose to purchase a new PlayStation Plus subscription to extend the license.

Curiously, PSone games (like Syphon Filter) appear to work even after the Plus subscription ends. Although clearly marked as Expired under the game's "Details," the game launches normally. It's unclear if this is simply an oversight, or if this content is meant to be free, even after the end of a subscription (much like downloaded avatars and XMB themes). Nevertheless, we've asked Sony to clarify because, hey - permanently free games makes PlayStation Plus a much more palatable offer! If it's a glitch, you can look forward to another mandatory firmware update sometime soon (sorry!).

I remember back when everyone was all anti-L4D2 when it was first announced, and then people were later excited because of all the features valve promised sounded promising. And it did. One thing that caught my attention was that they promised actual dynamic paths that changes with each playthrough, meaning every time you play a campaign it won't the same, unlike the first L4D.

But enough about that, I should get to reviewing, and this is my first review so whoopie. I just wanted to fill up game reviews for this site.

I won't lie when I say this: Out of the 2 games, L4D2 is the better product than the other game overall. L4D was a great fun teamwork game that puts 4 survivors in a zombie apocalypse and has to survive through various campaign. L4D2 is like the first game with some additional icing on the cake. Some cool features Valve has added includes melee weapons, more special infected, actual campaign connection, some neat weapons, and a finale that actually gets you moving instead of camping in one spot. Despite the game having glitches here and there, the gameplay is smooth for the most part.

Since there isn't much of a "story" in this game, I won't talk about the story. But what makes this campaign different from the first one is that in L4D2, the survivors actually meet for the first time, which opens the door for some character development, and again, while the game lacks any real story, some development is noticeable, though its not much. Therefore, the characters in 2 feel more "real" than the 1st one, since in L4D, the four survivors already happen to know each other without any real reason.

But does that mean that I love the L4D2 cast more than the first? Not really. Francis, Bill, and even Louis added some humor to the game which is supposedly set in a dark post-apocolypse world. The only one I hated in 1 was Zoey *puts flame shield up* who IMO lacked any character. The cast in 2 however, are not as great as 1 IMO. Ellis' stories are great, but sometimes his lines makes me want to rip my ears off (not really). Coach and Nick were okay, but they didn't give me that feeling Bill and Francis did. (no homo). Rochelle, in my opinion, had more character than Zoey so thats a plus. Besides the main cast, there are NPCs like Virgil who I think should have been playable.

Overall though, I prefer the first one over the second game. And this is purely opinion but the atmosphere in one was more dark and felt more like a post-apocalypse world. In two, they introduced daylight, which honestly kills the whole point of a zombie game. Even Half LIfe had some spooky stage that felt more like a L4D stage, and the opposite is true for L4D2: Dead Center and The Parish felt too much like Half Life with more zombies.

With me complimenting the gameplay and the characters, you would think I would have given this game a much higher score, but why did I give it a meh? Well to be honest, Its more like in between Good and Meh. Francis you need to add more ratings.

Well for starters, they lied about the dynamic pathing. Every single playthrough feels the damn same. There is no real change. The only "change" is that one part in Dead Center 3 before the Crescendo event where you either go through the toy shop, or open the emergency door at the very bottom of the mall. With 6 short campaigns, there really isn't much replay value here, unless you play versus, but even then, theres that repetition in that mode.

Secondly, theres the water, a new feature in 2. While its great they added it so survivors can pick which way to go (through the water or over), whats the point in adding this feature if its not in Versus, which is what practically everyone plays in L4D2.

Really, the only thing features I didn't mind was the weather (which could have only been for cosmetic purpose, as its not really game breaking), and Scavenge mode, which is pretty fun and different from the other modes.

Conclusion: Keep in mind that L4D was in development for 3 years. L4D2 development started after the first, so one year. See its no wonder L4D2 is not as great as it should have been. It had potential, yes, but Valve ultimately blew it by rushing it and adding some pointless features. L4D2 feels like a rushed version of L4D, it feels like a beta with all the glitches and all. In fact L4D2 should have been called L4D2Beta and release the full thing in a few years.

Also I should mention the shitty so-called Left 4 Dead 2 community. Rages and whinings every where.

That reminds me, HL Ep 3 has been in development for like what, more than 3 years? Hopefully we will get a godly HL game that surpasses the original HL2 : )

I'll just sum it up instead of boring you guys with details, but what happened is my brother and I found an old box while we were cleaning out an old closet in what will soon be his room. Among the things found were the following:

-1 BB Rifle, working condition

-Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Soundtrack set

-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Soundtrack

-Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack

-Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack, still with all the extras (artwork, piano sheet for Melodies of Life, etc.)

I know I can just download these soundtracks for free(and I already have all the DKC soundtracks on this laptop), but actually having the physical items is just awesome.

 

Needless to say, today is happy day.

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad

Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait, I hear the prissy, booze, whine, all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well uh, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet.
I just got here!
I sprang with the quickness, like lightening disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say is that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked to my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

The Event
This wasn't a normal video game press event. First, and perhaps most obviously, the security was thick. While an allegedly corrupt politician celebrated his birthday upstairs - an endless procession of well-dressed upper crusters made their way into the historic Plaza Hotel while protesters held court outside - another high-profile event was being held on the second floor. And while there was no police presence like outside, the black-pants, black v-neck crew that Irrational Games brought with them had things on lockdown. "Does that computer have a camera on it?" one of them asked me. "You'll need to check it." I went back into the hallway and got back in line. The same line I already stood in to check my cellphone. Security was thick.

But that's been the Boston-area developer's modus operandi since work began on its new title nearly three years ago. It's exceedingly rare in our industry to have a high-profile developer like Irrational keep something so completely under wraps for so long. And now, a room full of gaming press were assembled to see what Ken Levine and Co. have been working on. With an embargo less than 24 hours away and the promise that no outlet would be getting an early exclusive, Irrational wasn't about to let up on security now. After an introduction by a PR representative, again pleading with us to keep things quiet until today, Irrational Games' founder Ken Levine took the stage. "It's a long way to come for a trailer, a demo, and a little conversation," he admitted. "We also appreciate the patience you've had with us. It's been three years and we've said nothing about what we're doing," but it was finally time to see what was beneath the curtain. Cue the trailer.

According to unnamed sources speaking with Kotaku and "claiming to have knowledge of the situation," development on Duke Nukem Forever is continuing -- until completion -- with Borderlands developer Gearbox Software. Stranger still, the sources also claim that a "playable demo" will be distributed at some point "later this year." While Take-Two confirmed that it retains the rights to DNF, it didn't offer any comment on the matter.

Gearbox head Randy Pitchford couldn't say anything either, but did note that he might be able to "better clarify the situation" at this year's PAX Prime. Duke Nukem creator George Broussard declined to comment as well. Although this is most certainly a "rumor" for now, we'd still like to wish Gearbox the best of luck over the next 15 years.
