Reactions: Uncharted 2 gets some free DLC
As far as trailers go, that was pretty bad. They could have at least shown some gameplay in there. But hey, it’s a free multiplayer map! How often does that happen?

Trailers: Mass Effect 2 does have biotic powers!
It’s really nice to see some of my beloved force biotic powers in Mass Effect 2 after BioWare’s demoed the shooting so heavily. I’m considerably less keen on the speaker’s voice though…
Reactions: 2k Boston’s next project leaked?
According to GameSpot, this is footage of a reboot to a little-known series of shooters from the ’90′s called Spec-Ops and it’s being handled by the studio behind BioShock. Whether this puts all the X-Com rumors to rest we don’t know for sure. What we do know however, is that the modern warfare setting is quickly becoming the new WWII and that this trailer doesn’t look the least bit interesting. Now I’ve never played the Spec-Ops games or the X-Com games for that matter, but if I had to pick between the two, the nuclear tensions and strategic nature of the latter sound much more interesting than another shooter that’s surely being produced to compete with Call of Duty. Keep in mind, none of this is confirmed yet, but if it turns out to be true it’s pretty disappointing. I just don’t see how a developer can go from something as special as BioShock to the dullest setting in current video games. Hopefully the talent on the team can make it stand out as something different.

Trailers: Mass Effect’s weakest character returns!
Mass Effect 2 needs more characters like Wrex. You should be able to find his home world and participate in an orgy of Wrexes.
Author: CodyReview: Assassin’s Creed II
Ezio, doing his best Vamp impression.
Score: Good
Time to beat: About 25 hours with a fair amount of side-questing
Loved the most: Awesome platforming of the Assassin’s Tombs.
Hated the most: A general lack of innovation from the first game to this one.
When Assassin’s Creed came out in 2007, its insanely fun free-running parkour mechanics were so revolutionary that they essentially created a new sub-genre. However, the repetitive and incomplete nature of the game polarized gamers everywhere and the title was really seen as more potential than product. Now we fast-forward two years, and I’m happy to report that Assassin’s Creed II has addressed almost every issue gamers had with the first title in the franchise. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t really do much beyond that, and with other games in the sub-genre innovating further and offering more diverse packages, ACII feels more like what the first game should have been than what the sequel could be. So once again, we’re left dreaming of the awesome potential in this franchise instead of a simply awesome game.

Looks pretty cool. I might pick it up. You should too!
Author: CodyRandom: Pandemic. Office Space. All you need to know.
As you may know, EA recently hit internal studio Pandemic with roughly 200 layoffs, which is to say, they pretty much closed down the developer and reallocated the few remaining employees. Pandemic is probably most famous for last generation’s Mercenaries, but they haven’t seen as much success this generation. However, if their final game, The Saboteur, which is due out this December, is as good as the job those former employees did on that printer, then I’m sold.
Author: CodyTrailers: Best cosplay ever and a snippet of BioShock 2 gameplay
That cosplay is scary good, especially in the aquarium setting. The video’s okay too, I guess.
