Coming back

Hey people! Sorry we haven't been writing much lately, we've been busy with school work and stuff recently, but we're planning on coming back soon! 

Me and Josh's Comeback though might not be in the form of Carlos's Spot though... We're are going to be joined by to other people. So we're going to be a group of 4 crazy people. We've been discussing it and we haven't come to a decision on sticking with the site but we have agreed on making an audio podcast so we're trying to get stuff for the podcast together so be watching out for that.

We thought of doing all our news through the podcast so we'll keep you posted!

Bioshock Video

One of the best Bioshock videos I've ever seen. Its synced so perfectly with the score "Hello Zepp" from "Saw" Warning: SPOILERS - this scene is right at the climax of the game.

Bioshock 2!!!!

Bioshock 2 has officially been announced by Take-Two. There may be some bad news to go along with that - 2K Boston has handed it over to 2K Marin. What does that mean? I personally have no idea. But the good news about that is Ken Levine is going to be involved in its development in some way - but other than that we know nothing about the game or its development. No details were given. Expect it around October 2009.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

I know its not out yet (but you can check the timer at the bottom of this page), but IGN has their review for Super Smash Bros Brawl right here. Now we just have to sit around and wait for the final days to pass. I would post more but since GDC ended sin gaming has been pretty scarce.

Bad News for System of a Down Fans

The odds of them getting back together are next to none, according to Daron Malakian. Ya, its sad. System was a pretty amazing band. You can see more here.

Coming Soon: Portal 2

It seems that this year is the year of sequels as last years was of the trilogies with Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3. Now we have Gears 2 and Portal 2.

This information is going to be announced tonight on X-play! so watch it tonight for the official announcement...well this is official since it came from X-play themselves.

Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT: A reality

A while age some of us heard of a rumor going around the net that Nvidia was coming out with a new graphics card, something in the 9 series. Most of us thought that this was bull****, but now we are forced to eat our words...

The Nvidia GeForce 9600GT is avtually here. On EtremeTech forums, a guy claimed that he picked up one from his local Best Buy and even toock a Picture, most people said that it was a box error but a confirmation email from BFG confirmed the claim.

Now EtremeTech gives us the insides and specs of this new graphics card. On my opinion, this is pretty much a beffed up 8800 but for WAY less the money, your average 8800 is around $200, this a pretty beffed up 8800 for about $20 less, now dont be fooled, $20 can get you a long way. This beast has got some astronomically high factory clock, the only down side is the cut-down of the stream processors, take a look for your selves at ExtremeTech's review.

Thoughts: I would wait till this card get more publicity and support in games. Otherwise I thinks this is a great alternative to an 8800 for less money. Imagine this beast in 3-way SLi.

"Gears 2" details

Some not-so new but helpful information was released this mornig on the soon to be most awsome sequel on the 360 and as a matter of fact, best one in the past year or two.

Here's the hot stuff:

• Gears of War 2 will continue the epic saga of Marcus Fenix and his squad. You're still against the Locust Horde and the claim is "a story of survival, loss and retribution."
• Graphics: Nothing really new in this field, they prety much said that Gears 2 will keep raising the bar of visual inovation as it was the best looking game at the time of arrival and they will keep pushing the technological advances of the Ureal Engine III
• oh...and if you didn't know it already, its a 360 exclusive.

They said its going to be developed by Microsoft Game Studios so maybe that might mean PC development side-by-side the 360? who knows, I hope so! =P
