E3 2009: Fallout 3 DLC trailer

Video Game - E3 2009 - Video Game Trailers

Well, if you haven’t played Fallout 3 yet, then you don’t know what you’re missing.  This upcoming DLC for the FPS/RPG looks to have a horror/suspense/thriller angle.  As long as there’s more action to be had in the Fallout universe, I’m in.  Looks to be coming to at least PC and Xbox 360.  And probably eventually for the PS3.

'Saints Row 2' Trailer

This October 18th THQ will release their follow up sequel to the hit game 'Saints Row'. You ready to check out a sneak peak of the new 'Saints Row 2'?

'Saints Row 2' will hit the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Thanks to G4TV for this.

PC Get's A Wii-Like Controller: End Is Near

Oh God..... When will it end???

Next to the madness that's surrounding the Brett Farve Watch '08, the insanity of the Wii is right up there. Case in point is the new PC Wiimote like controls from Asus, that utilize motion controls for specific games. The new "Eee Stick" controller has wireless connection via a 2.4GHz RF USB stick, and also has vibration feedback. The controller doesn't have a release date, but is due out sometime later this year.

Now please excuse me while I find myself a rope.

Duke Nukem Forever: First Game Trailer Since 2001

One game that has been in development hell is Duke Nukem Forever. To give you an idea about how long it's been, the first teaser was released at E3 in 2001. So considering how long it's been worked on, I was expecting a little more from this game trailer, so put me in the "not so impressed" camp.

Hopefully, this game will get better than the first trailer since 2001.

Dell XPS Full Of WoW

I know that there are quite a few World of Warcraft fans that come visit this blog from time to time. But what I want to know is if you would pay $4500 or more for one of these Special Addition Dell XPS M1730 with WoW graphics? You can get your own WoW laptop in either Horde or Alliance packs that come with original artwork on the desktop, screen savers, and the case itself. Check the bullet points:

• DX10 SLI graphics
• World's first & only notebook available w/ an Ageia mobile PhysX processor
• Over-clockable Extreme Edition Core 2 Duo processors
• Dual RAID 0 7200 RPM HDDs - or 64GB Solid State Drive options
• 7ms display response time
• Full-size illuminated keyboard w/ separate numeric keypad
• 16-color user-customizable lighting areas including the backlit touchpad
• Wireless connectivity w/ built-in Mobile Broadband, Wireless-N, Bluetooth and Dell's Wi-Fi catcher
• Blu-ray optional
• Built-in camera & digital array microphones
• Built-in Logitech GamePanel above keyboard (first in the industry on a notebook)

Now this comes with a ton of WoW extras that we couldn't list all here, so hit the jump for that stuff. But looking at these specs, this looks more like a system built more for Crysis than for WoW. Considering that you could almost run WoW on a Commodore 64. The laptop drops on December 11th.

Crysis Demo Video

When I heard about this game, a lot of words like incredible, fantastic, ground breaking, were being used. And one thing that everyone said was "upgrade your system". So one of the things on my 'to do soon' list is to up my memory and video card for "Crysis". This first person shooter is said to be the best that has ever come out. To quote PC Gamer "saying that Crysis is like other alien shooters is like saying that Citizen Kane is the same as Weekend at Bernie's because they're both about dead rich guys".

Well G4TV has a demo for you, and it looks great!!!

Now go upgrade your system.

Sony Planning Price Cuts On Halo 3 Release Day

The rumor mill is churning in the Sony camp!!!

In what is clearly a huge threat to Sony, rumor has it that a price drop is coming for the new 40GB PS3 and the PS2, scheduled on the release date of Halo3. Analyst Michael Pachter is expecting Sony to make an announcement at the TGS next week, dropping the PS2 to $99 and lowering the price of the 40GB PS3. Check the quote:

"Both of these ideas have merit...[and] we cannot think of a better forum for making such an announcement, given that the event is less than a week before the launch of archrival Microsoft's Halo 3."

Desperate times call for...........
No word on if the 40GB PS3 will replace the 60GB version or if it will just be a 3rd option.
