Sounds like EA Games is going release an expansion pack for their Battlefield 2 game. The story is here .
Yet another game turned movie is on the horizion. Doom! I guess it didn’t make enough in sales so they are going to try am drum up support with a movie starring The Rock and Karl Urban.
This is going to use a FPS type look and feel so you will see what you would see as if you were playing the game. Interesting concept, wonder how well it will pan out.
VGCats has some commentary about the new game consoles with some rather colorful points about the Nintendo Revolution controller.
OK, the Nintendo Four Score wasn’t released 20 years ago–but the NES was! Feel old yet? As luck would have it, I have my very own Four Score! Although, of my 80 or so NES games, I’ve never been able to figure out which ones actually use the dang thing. I finally have the answer! The list below highlights the NES games which support this handy-dandy four-player adapter! Unfortunately, I think I only have one of these games– Swords and Serpents. Even so, I’ll have to give it a try. In the meantime, I think I’ll look around for a copy of Gauntlet II. Even though I really don’t need it–it’s obviously the best title of the bunch and will likely be the most fun to play if I’m ever able to get four people in a room to try it.
