Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Feb 11, 2009 6:00pm PSTReally excited about the Aliens vs. Predator game coming from Rebellion. The original AVP was a fantastic game. Maybe it was the gritty, low-resolution graphics and wacky-fast aliens, but I thought it was scary as hell. Not to mention the truly ground-breaking multiplayer.

- Godfather 2 gets new date
- GI Joe movie tie-in game announced
- New Aliens vs. Predator game announced, but Aliens game delayed
- Left 4 Dead climbs the PC sales charts
- Epic responds to 10-year Gears plan

- First God of War 3 details leaked
- Activision beats financial forecast
- James Bond game delayed into 2010
- Plenty of Guitar Hero coming this year
- Wolfenstein set for summer release
- More Tyranids in Dawn of War 2 trailer
Also, StarCraft II beta! Whoo!

All in all, I think the beginning of Gaeta being unsatisfied with the Admiral and how he began the coup came completely out of nowhere, and I was kind of annoyed by this. I would have preferred to see him become bitter from earlier on in the season, rather than two episodes before he is executed. REGARDLESS, those were two very fine episodes that I enjoyed quite a bit.
Also, the "my pen-pal line" absolutely killed me :D

I asked yesterday about plasma versus LCD. Most seemed to recommend plasma. I have to admit to a bit of bias towards LCDs for what I can assume is absolutely no good reason at all. I present to you two options
Samsung 52" 1080p LCD (LN52A550) $1699
Samsung 50" 1080p Plasma (PN50A650) $2099
So which would you choose? Both are roughly the same size, got 1080p and computer input. The plasma is more expensive but still in my price range of around $2000 CDN. Somebody mentioned yesterday that for PC input, be sure to check what resolution the monitor will allow from a computer. I've tried googling it, but haven't been able to find it. The TV will be located in a relatively dark room.

The end with Liberty Prime running through the Wasteland... Oh my sweet Jesus CHRIST how good was that?
I played it on normal and it seemed very easy. I didn't hit my level cap, I didn't get any cool weapons Such as the Rock-It Launcher or the Laser Chain gun, and killing Colonel Autumn was so damned easy. Did I do something wrong?

"Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she "knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ."
Kim says in the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation -- $4,000. Add it up -- $4 billion!"

On the other hand, it pretty much had nothing to do with the Dungeon Siege video game anyway..

Episode 18: "Citizen Killzone"
Following modern trends, this episode eschews its core gameplay for a series of scattered but crowd-pleasing showpieces. Hop in a Big Stompin' Mech with F.E.A.R. 2, use a mandatory turret to defend your favorite FPS titles, and perform an overly-animated finishing move on "opinions."
Games discussed: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Watchmen: The End is Nigh, Quake Live, Left 4 Dead, Killzone 2
