Our Adventures: Lost – “Lighthouse”

Well, yet another week of Lost, and still more questions. I really feel like the season’s getting to a point where at least one major question needs to be satisfied to keep up with all the new ones that are coming at us every week. If the promo for next week’s episode is to be believed, then maybe we’ll finally get an answer or two then. But as for this episode, not a whole lot really happened.

Trailers: The fairer side of Red Dead Reademption

I feel like that opening piano was very similar to Charlie’s death scene in Lost. But…umm, onto the game! These women actually seem to have some character and depth to them. And pairing Rockstar’s penchant for having hookers in their games with the strong-willed harlots often portrayed in Westerns just makes me excited. But yeah, can’t wait for this game. And that was a great line to end the trailer on.

Reactions: And BioShock 2 has officially destroyed its image…

As if the pathetic leeching of the first game’s world/themes and the completely unnecessary (and more dishearteningly, underdeveloped) multiplayer weren’t enough to solidify BioShock 2 as a quick cash-in, then the DLC train that’s starting up should put the final nail in the coffin.

Reactions: The FPS is redefined March 17th

Oh, sorry, wrong image...

It’s actually that other, better N64 classic that’ll be hitting the Xbox Live Arcade in less than a month. And I stand by this story’s title, as the sweet nectar that is Perfect Dark had more features 10 years ago than nearly every FPS does today. Throw in 8-player online battles, while retaining 4-player split-screen and face-lifting the graphics all for the low, low price of $10…oh, baby. The only thing that could disappoint about this package is the heavy auto-aim that will feel very different from today’s standards, but I’ve prepared myself for that. This is like the second coming…do you think Jesus will return with updated modern features and abilities?

Trailers: Ubisoft would have you believe ACII is still relevant


The “Bonfire of the Vanities” DLC is out now, if that’s your sort of thing. While the trailer does look cool, I just can’t muster up any interest for content that’s ultimately irrelevant to the Assassin’s Creed plot. The DLC takes place before the ending of ACII, so it’s not like it’s going to advanced the narrative or anything. And for that matter, I really have no interest in this new, multiplayer-enabled AC game set for next winter. It stars Ezio…great character and all, but that’s not how this franchise is supposed to work. What’s the point of the animus if we don’t use it? Looking forward to the next real Assassin’s Creed experience, though.

Trailers: Secret Armory of General Knoxx interview


Firstly, that dude that Jeff’s interviewing needs to take a shower…ughhh. But on the topic of the actual DLC, I feel like focusing on more vehicle combat is probably a very poor decision given how awful driving in Borderlands is. But on the other hand, NINJA ASSASSINS!

Trailers: Splinter Cell: Conviction “I want my family back” trailer


Okay, so maybe that’s not really the name of the trailer, but didn’t you feel like Harrison Ford was about to bust out at any moment shouting those words?
