Episode 75 of the Blu Show is here which is sort of a milestone of sorts. Rothbart, PacmanPolarbear, and Frawlz are back and having a good time talking about Nintendo saving the PS3, Sony Japan under-delivering for the PS3, Sony switching focus on PlayStation Home, the porting PS2, Battle Field Bad Company 2 is getting an exclusive beta on the PS3, listener questions, roomahs, and a lot more!

Welcome to the reintegration of an arguably ancient SG feature, Review of the Reviews. In this feature, we essentially take on Metacritic at their own game, but rather than summarizing every review into a score, we use words. Words are better, right? Better than numbers? I mean, what was the last binary play you went to see versus the last literary one?
Hey, guys! This post is the result of an idea I had for a short series of articles based on useful tips I might have to share with you, combined with tapping you to answer questions I myself have related to gaming. Asking you is MUCH easier than using Google myself… I’m all about “the lazy!”… just ask my ex-wife!
No really, ask her! She loves to be called at 3:00am, her phone number is 541-4… wait… Lono says I shouldn’t do that. Damned attorneys and their legal advice!
Do you have a brand one of those fancy-dancy new PS3 that sometimes sounds like a jet preparing for take-off while you’re playing Uncharted 2? If so, Talismoon just announced the thing to alleviate your problems! (more…)
As I said on our first podcast of the weekend, Dragon Age was one of my more anticipated titles to see and get hands-on with. Well I did get hands-on with it, briefly, for as long as I could stand to keep my eyes on that screen.
You know that feeling you get when you look at a really ugly person? Like, really ugly? So ugly that you don’t even feel guilty for thinking the person is unattractive? And no matter how much the view offends your eyes, you just can’t look away?
Ubisoft were pulling out all the stops at this year’s Eurogamer Expo: along with the astonishing 3D version of Avatar, we were treated to a sizeable chunk of Assassin’s Creed II.
As if that weren’t enough, they even roped in one last minute surprise: Sam Fisher.
Heavy Rain, as you may have read yesterday, is shaping up to be a pretty special game. It’s not your typical “gamer’s game”. There are, in the words of the game’s creator David Cage, “no fighting, no zombies, no driving”: it’s a game you play for the sake of the storyline, to share the feelings of the characters as you would in a good movie.
While this story is over a week old, I let it simmer. I was hoping that someone would come back and debunk the information as PR spin, because to me, it just seems improbable.
I’m really looking forward to BioShock 2. I haven’t spent much time talking about it, mainly because my focus has been on fall 2009 titles, but expect that to change as the Feb. 9, 2010, global launch approaches. For me, the game once subtitled Sea of Dreams is second only to God of War III, as far as my most anticipated 2010 releases are concerned. That’s pretty high praise, considering the mammoth amount of software that is scheduled to ship during that window. There’s the confirmed releases of Darksiders, Bayonetta and Dante’s Inferno, as well as Q1 titles like Split/Second and Dead Rising 2.
Why do I anticipate thee? Find out after the jump.
Well, the Uncharted 2/Brutal Legend Duelist League week had an unprecedented number of fatalities at the hands of newcomer Stoned Sheep. Not only did he beat all challengers at mutliplayer (including yours truly), but he then went on to take humiliating still screenshots of him kicking the hell out of each and every opponent. Usually, this involved him holding onto a grenade launcher and his opponent being blown into small pieces. It was not pretty.
A few caveats: I started a match with Astro Nit. I beat him on the practice, then he won the first of three matches, and then he had to leave, so I gave him five points for coming out and mixing it up. Also, Eao and Stoned Sheep’s match apparently didn’t happen because of connectivity issues (Eao’s from Cairo? Wowza!).
So, Mr. Stoned Sheep rockets his way to the top of the leaderboard while everyone else if left to lick their wounds. Let’s take a look at what the new leaderboard looks like!
Christian Slater. Elton John. Jake “The Snake” Roberts. What do they have in common? They have nothing to do with this topic. I just needed an introduction for my article.
