There is no mistake that when you go into a full contact Next Gen Brawl, the kid gloves come off. Microsoft is giving all those Gears of War fans even more incentive to pick up Lost Planet 2 for the Xbox 360 instead of the PS3. Watch the trailer. Marcus and Dom will rock the world of Lost Planet 2 on May 18th.

This game along with Lost Planet 2 were recently pushed back. Now we can rest easy. SSF 4 will be released on April 27. Capcom stated that a bonus disc would be given to those that purchased the original SF4. They’re not giving specifics on whats on the bonus disc. But you can bet that it will be the remaining two unknown characters add. And this awesome looking anime.

So it looks like we’ll only have to wait a few weeks for more RE5 action. the DLC will release on February 17th on Xbox Live. And February 18th on the PSN. Each episode will be going for 400 Microsoft Points or $4.99 respectively. From what I’m hearing each episode will be maybe at the most 2 hours each. Well what do expect for 5 bucks. The RE 5 Gold video game will be dropping on March 9th. Well we all can’t be winners on the same day now can we?! If you don’t already own RE5 I would expect that you may not be buying the Gold version on March 9th. And if you do you’ll probably be buying more than just that.

No matter how much money, or How awesome James Cameron’s Avatar is truly there can only be one true Avatar. M Night Shyamalan os making a film based on the Nickelodeon cartoon “Avatar The Last Airbender”.

This cartoon has to be one of the most fantastic toons on television. Shyamalan was going to release a full trailer in December but held back because of the hype of  J C’s Avatar. Now that the only thing their talking about is the records it’s breaking. Now we finally get to see some Avatar Airbender stuff. And it is surly about time. Take a peek at these posters. Hopefully we’ll see a trailer very soon. Maybe the Superbowl. For now I give you Avatar Ang. And Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. The Last Airbender opens on July 2, 2010.

This is exactly what I’ve been saying in the last two articles. Now Square Enix is being bias as regions go. They are saying that this collection is worth $100 in U.S dollars. But as always it seems. As of right now only Europe will be getting this lovely Collectors Edition. Let me show you what is inside of maybe the most anticipated RPG of this generation.

Obviously the game itself

That is well worth the money don’t you think. Let us hope Square Enix likes us over here in America. And will bless us with our own Collectors Edition.

Well I have no idea if this will be coming to the US. But if I put my money on Kojima it will. He knows how to keep it real. If you don’t own a psp, you probably will by March. Like all the previous games before it, this will be great. And on to of that it is co-op. Gotta love Kojima. The bundle comes with a pouch, cleaning cloth, and strap. A stand for the psp. Limited edition dog tags. And a booklet. Now that’s an awesome bundle. Go In Peace.

With so many games dropping in the first quarter of 2010, there is no mistake of the amount of competition between consoles. Xbox has proven to have better bundles than PlayStation. I say this because all the good bundles are always exclusive to either Japan or Europe. The US has seen very few major bundles that would actually push the system. it’s time for Sony to let out the big dogs and start really playing dirty.

Europe and Japan have seen and are getting ready to see more PS3 bundles come their way. It seems that the executives at Sony America just don’t understand that a game can make a console. And these game are being bundled, but not in the US.

Other than a Final Fantasy 7 remake, this is really the only RPG that will push the PlayStation into more homes. Even with it being white and pink people would line up to get it. It has already launched in Japan. With no sign of it coming to the US.

Heavy Rain is a PlayStation exclusive. Period. Nuff Said. Games like this, which are so far from the nor should be pushed harder. A game like Heavy Rain reaches beyond the regular demographic into a whole new audience. Do you have any idea how many people watch Law and Order or CSI. This would be the title for the average consumer. We need it.

Who can dispute the power and prestige that this title has come to have. There is no doubt that God of War 3 will sell the PlayStation 3. With the popularity of 300. The upcoming series Spartacus. And the remake of the cult classic Clash of the Titans. The God of War series finale in high def would be a mistake not to have bundled. One thing Americans love to watch is blood and gore. And the smashing of swords against bone. Also an exclusive, Sony should not miss out on an opportunity to put more consoles in homes.

Oh, just look what the competition has in store for us this month. If I didn’t already own a Xbox 360, I would be very tempted to by this one. We can only hope that Sony keeps the fire burning and brings some of these to the US.

This is something that just kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Director Marc Webb has been chosen to breath new into the Spder0Man franchise. I really don’t know the guy. But he as a movie called 500 Days of Summer under his belt. Anything else he’s done I believe are music videos. I guess someone saw that special something that makes an awesome super hero film director in him. Who knows!? The screenplay will be written by James Vanderbilt. And Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin will produce. What might this unlikely band of people bring to us in 2012………!? Hopefully not The End.

With this new turn of events, I can hope that they will at least add an adjective to the title. Amazing, Sensational,  Spectacular or even Ultimate. That will liven it up some and separate from the original trilogy.

It kind of sucks that they keep showing this really cool stuff. And I say that because once more the game has been pushed back. This time to April. Anyway, these videos show what Ubisoft is calling Deniable Ops. Another new mission type. See for yourselves.
