Video Mondaily (Bit Late) – League of Legends vs. AI
Welcome to another Video Mondaily! This one is a bit different from previous ones in the fact that I'm just going to screw around with this one. A friend of mine (Ruralgeek) was playing some League of Legends with me and we decided that it would be fun to post the videos of our failings against the AI. There's nothing revolutionary, perhaps... but we honestly enjoyed it!
(This is super late, I know... and the reason is that I was taking a bit of a break because we should have had this week covered. Since somewhere something fell through, posting this to hold you over! Enjoy!)
Endweek News
You will have, obviously noticed that last week we had no news on Sunday and that this week we actually had no news on Wednesday either. And there are very good reasons for both of these things. As you might be aware I am in the middle of my exam period and I'm finding it a little more difficult to make the time to do the news. But don't worry, after next week things ought to return to pretty much normal as both me and Tim will be finished.
And so we'll need to come up with an excuse other than "We are lazy sons-of-bitches!"
Also, we are still playing around with our new "4 posts per week" system and have decided to only have one session of news on most weeks. While you might still see some Midweek News at some point in the future, for now we are going to be doing two reviews a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays. Anyway, "reasons" over! Let's see what's been happening in the world of video games for the last two weeks.
Diablo III – First Impressions
With the open beta now finished the release date could not come sooner. For those of you that managed to get a taste of the beta you probably feel the same way, but for those that didn't get around to playing it I'm here to help. My opinion should be taken with a pinch of salt as I haven't actually played either of the previous games. With this is mind I won’t be able to make any comparisons to the previous games. Without further delay I bring to you my impressions of Diablo III.
Midweek News – Guild Wars swapping Realms, Some DLC, Some Trailers and our Song of the Week!
Interesting news seem to be a little slow lately so I have decided (seeing as I missed last Sunday) to include MMGaming's Song of the Week in this news post. Why news has been slow I can't really say but I'm going to assume it's to do with either me not picking up on interesting stuff or that there is a sort of lull in news now that PAX East is over. Guess we just need to wait to see if it picks up again.
Bioshock Infinite – Life amongst the clouds is troublesome
2K Games and Infinity Ward have spent the last month or so slowly revealing some of the tougher fights you can expect in Bioshock Infinite. Whilst admiring the view and killing the ordinary splicers (are they still splicers?) you will occasionally come across some people that will just put a crimp in your day. You know the sort, folk who just can't mind their own damn business while you try to save the world. The sort of grumpy bastards that clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed and then proceeded to fall into a massive pile of armour and massive weapons...
And magic... Let's not forget the magic...
Song of the Week – Mass Effect dubstepz
It's that time of the week again folks. Actually, I've been wanting to say something about that... But first let's get the tunes going!
This week I've got two things to offer you! First I have some official Bioware Dubstep! Bioware stuck pieces of footage from a variety of their trailers for Mass Effect 3 and then put some rather cool wubwubwub over the top of it. Excellent! The bad news on that score is that I couldn't find the video on Youtube, so I can only provide you with a link to that. So as a peace offering I chose one of the Mass Effect dubsteps on Youtube and have embedded that instead! Two pieces of music! You lucky thing you!
Another Far Cry 3 trailer
Like the title says folks, I have here another trailer for Far Cry 3 featuring cinematic and gameplay sequences. And drugs... let's not forget that the new game will feature taking lots of lovely drugs...
Mmmm shrooooooooms... Wait... Woah man... Everything is so colourful and slowed down. It's totally like, you know...
11 Reasons to get Prototype 2
If you are someone who is undecided about getting Prototype 2 then I have here a trailer which may just convince you to get it. The game comes out on the 24th of April so you still have some time to decide (even if the trailer doesn't convince you).
As someone who wasn't thinking of getting the game, I have to say... Some of the stuff in the trailer is pretty fucking cool... It's nice to see so many inventive ways to kill enemies using explosions and massive red tentacles that fire out of your arms.
Darksiders 2 cinematic trailer stars Death
Darksiders, hack-and-slasher by Vigil Games and THQ is a game in which you control one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse returns this year with Darksiders 2. While in the first game you controlled War and went about fighting the forces of both Heaven and Hell, Darksiders 2 sees you take control of Death.
While it's true I've never played the first one I have to say the premise is pretty damn cool (and looks pretty fucking cool as well). Plus the new cinematic trailer is absolutely awesome! Check it out after the jump.
