Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Reveal

Have you seen this yet?! Treyarch just raised the bar again for the shooter multiplayer community. The HUD looks great, all of the new tech looks really interesting to use and I’m sure that it will change up the entire experience and team strategy. The environment detail looks like it got a tune up as well with each map. I am thoroughly excited with only three months until launch. More footage and reveals to come as we get closer to that date.

Review – Halo Anniversary Edition

It has been ten years since Microsoft launched the mighty Xbox and set us down on a distant planet with one of the most iconic characters in gaming today, Master Chief. Halo set the bar for shooters on consoles, seeing as it was the launch title for a console that was designed for FPS gaming. The controls were solid, the story was interesting and the multiplayer brought us all together. If you’re thinking Halo Anniversary is just a nice way to commemorate the original game with an HD remake, be ready for much much more.

Review – Tritton Detonator

I have never really used gaming headsets before other than with PC, so i decided to check out the Tritton Detonators. The headset is developed by Tritton and Mad Catz for Xbox 360 and comes with all the necessary attachments for HDMI or component. There is a wireless version or entry level wired retailing for $79.99. There is a bit of wire clutter but after a quick and easy hook up you just need to plug in the detachable mic and you’ll be ready for an amazing gaming experience.

BOMT: Final Fantasy XIII

I’ve caught up with life, time to catch up on some games.

DC Universe Now Free to Play!

Sony Entertainment Online recently announced that their super hero MMO DC Universe is now free to play. Some people are wondering if this is just a trial run to entice you to pay the monthly subscriptions but in fact you do get full access to the game. So what are the draw backs? Mostly little annoying things but you can get the full gaming experience and enjoy it with no real restrictions to your character. For starters you can only have up to 2 free characters. Your inventory is limited to 28 slots, as well as bank slots if you end up using one. You can only have up to 1500 gold/credits/Monopoly money so if you were planing on being evil and robbing banks, the only thing standing between you and the vault is a bad economy. On top of all the minor set backs you can’t enjoy extracurriculars like guilds (Leagues) or talking to other players for very long because they limit texting and what you can share amongst players. For $15 a month it’s not much to cry over if you really like the game and have decided to dedicate your time to your character.
