Uh Oh, Christmas Isn't Far Off -- What Are You Hoping For This Year?

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:00:00 -0800

I hate to break it to you, but Christmas (or your equivalent December-timed holiday celebration!) is almost here. Yes, I know, it's technically still November, but with Thanksgiving behind us, that means Christmas isn't far off. It's time to start thinking about gifts for friends, family and, most importantly, yourself! The massive amount of advertising timed to Black Friday usually provides a good start for a "do want" list, so what's on yours? What do you want your friends and family to grab for you?

EVE Online: Dominion Expansion Trailer

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:19:00 -0800

I find the idea of PC and Mac MMO EVE Online vaguely terrifying. There's something so cool, and seductive about it, but I'm afraid I'll start playing it and never stop. So, like heroin, I've never tried it. Anyway, they keep putting out expansions to the game for free. Check out the latest: Dominion.

Assassin's Creed II Soundtrack Review - The Kyd's Got Talent

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

Composer Jesper Kyd has outdone himself with his soundtrack for Assassin's Creed II. The man behind the music of video games including Unreal Tournament III, multiple iterations of the Hitman series and of course, the award winning original Assassin's Creed, has crafted an exquisite score for the highly rated sequel. Fortunately for gamers and game music aficionados especially, Ubisoft has been kind enough to release a 35 song soundtrack album for Assassin's Creed II.

Jesper Kyd's music for ACII ranges from atmospheric to action-oriented themes. Jesper does phenomenally in his blending of old-world music themes with 21st compositional styles, creating pieces where orchestral music meets choir voices from antiquity with just the right application of an electric guitar line to keep it grounded in a modern mode. Check out the full-length sample of "Ezio's Family" we have for you here (courtesy of Ubisoft and Top Dollar PR) and hear for yourself why this is among the top downloaded individual songs from the album on iTunes.

The atmospheric pieces are gorgeous sounding and if you are a fan of listening to this style of game music, it makes for a pleasant background to your work or studies. For me, it's the up tempo and Mediterranean folk-inspired material that really shine here. Songs including "Venice Escape," "Flight Over Venice" and "Florence Escape" (both of the later songs are included here for your streaming pleasure) are extraordinary examples of Jesper's skills. He nails the mood and tone of the game's visuals so well, you can picture Ezio soaring over Italian cities in Da Vinci's flying machine or sneaking up behind his victim to execute a precision, um, well, execution.

Another testament to the quality of the compositions is selections from the Assassin's Creed II soundtrack debuted last week in Paris, as part of the Video Games Live concert tour. Here is hoping Tommy Tallarico keeps these in the set list when the tour comes back here.

So, who is this album for? Overall, the Assassin's Creed II soundtrack is a solid listen from start to finish, and fans of the game series that haven't already downloaded it from iTunes or Amazon need to set down their controller and go do so now. If, like me, you haven't logged any playtime with ACII yet (yes, I know, but cut a gamer some slack, there's a metric-ton of great games out right now!) you will still enjoy this for the sheer listening pleasure of it. From some of the talk I've seen on Twitter, there are plenty of you saying how vital Jesper's music is to the game play. Frankly, hearing gamers talk like this and listening to the music away from the game has only made me want to play it more.

What Was Your Best (And Worst) Black Friday Experience?

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:32:00 -0800

You know what I did on Black Friday? Nothing. I drank beer. I played Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (which is awesome, by the way). I learned how to play spades (and I'm pretty good). But no doubt many G4 readers decided to brave the cold morning air for a chance at a deal. Were you one of those folks? If you decided to head into the Black Friday crowd, tell me about your best and worst experiences with the crowd and if you actually managed to score a deal. Friends, gather round.

Morning Hangover: Random Observation

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:15:00 -0800

Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.

What the hell do vegetarians eat on Thanksgiving? I asked MMO Report producer and actual vegetarian Patrick Roche-Sowa this very question, and he said: "Tofurkey is actually really tasty."

If you're lucky enough to have never heard of Tofurkey, let me hip you to its existence. It's a fake turkey made from tofu. And no, it is not "actually really tasty." I can say this confidently, without ever having eaten one. Want to hear the weird part? Patrick says he didn't even eat Tofurkey last night. Instead, he eschewed Thanksgiving feasting altogether and had a salad or something. Roche-Sowa is some kind of Communist.

Anyway, I'm going to burn off yesterday's Tryptophan with a rousing game of Assassin's Creed 2 now. What are you up to today?

TheFeed gang wants your thoughts on gaming, tech, zombie turduckens, and more. Let everyone know what you're thinking and chat it up with your fellow readers. Leave comments on anything and everything that's on your (gaming/tech/nerd) mind!

Tech Review: Insignia 42" LCD TV

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:00:00 -0800

Watch Larger Version of this Video

With stereo speakers and 120HZ refresh rate, Best Buy's Insignia 42" LCD TV could be the best Black Friday deal yet at $699. Find out from Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn if this LCD is worth the wait in line. Hope you've got some extra duckets.

Check out the full Attack of the Show review after the cut.

What You Need to Know

The TV measures about 5.5” deep; it's not too thick, but it's not that sleek either.
The two speakers are hidden along the bottom of the screen, which helps streamline the look, but it's still a little boxy.
It does come with 4 HDMI inputs and is wall mountable with 2 HDMIs on the side as well as PC, S-Video and Composite inputs.
The 120 hertz, when cranked all the way up, looked horrible; we got a weird artifact effect that made the playback look wobbly, but as we turned the refresh rate down, it got better.
On top of that, the only other feature that this particular Insignia has is a built in HDTV tuner, which comes standard in most TVs now.
Overall, the features were average.
The 20,000:1 contrast ratio makes colors crisp and vivid.
Grain was a tiny bit apparent in darker scenes, but otherwise it looks better than we've seen on a lot of cheap TVs.
The audio is okay; the two 12 watt speakers can get pretty loud.

Price

$700
You can get it online now, so you don’t have to wait in line on Black Friday.

Overall Rating

Buy.
If you're looking for your first HDTV, this is a good choice. (How do we rate gadgets?)

The Reviews of 2009...In Review: Day 3

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:00:00 -0800

With Black Friday lingering and just a small handful of games left in 2009, it’s high time to take a refresher course in some of this year’s biggest and best reviews. I’ve broken down most of our most illustrious verdicts, platform by platform, to pick out some samplings of read (and watch) worthy material. On Tuesday, I focused on handheld and PC highlights from 2009. Yesterday, I lasered in on the best multiplatform and downloadable games. And, because you need something to do either before eating turkey or before camping out in the freezing cold for a $200 game console and free games (I've been watching those Black Friday specials too, y'know), today brings the best reviews across platform exclusives. Also, please feel free to send me links of awesome Flip cam videos of people fighting over sale items.

Put on your reading glasses; without further ado, here’s the grand finale of G4’s The Reviews of 2009...In Review!

PlayStation 3

The days of Lair and Haze are long behind the PlayStation 3. The PS3 has seen a strong year of console exclusives in 2009, including a visually gorgeous first-person shooter, a masterfully-crafted open world encounter, and the maturation of a rugged explorer. Oh, and some Japanese game where you die a lot. Here’s a sampling of some of PS3 titles from this year:

Killzone 2 - 5/5

“Do you like shooters? Do you hate things with red eyes? Have you posted in forums every day for the past month about how Killzone 2 was forged on the peak of Mount Olympus by the hand of Zeus himself? If your answer to any of these questions is even remotely affirmative, we suggest you play this game.”

inFamous - 5/5

“Open-world sandbox games have a depressing tendency to stick to the mundane. For all the over-the-top violence and mayhem of games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, you’re still just a guy or girl with a gun. Outside of the occasional licensed game, few sandboxers dare to tackle the idea of superpowers, and those that have tend to be disappointments, with the notable exception of Crackdown. It’s time to expand that exceptions list by one, thanks to Sucker Punch’s exceptional inFamous.”

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - 5/5

“Uncharted 2 delivers on what so many other games just promise: Immersion. Lost not just in a world but in a collective fantasy of the impossible made viable. That 8-year-old me in the movie theater sat yearning for the adult world to be as filled with adventure, discovery and importance as what I saw on screen. Well-situated in my 30s, content with good health and a paycheck, I pine nostalgically for when life still held that pre-adolescent potential. For the hours I played Uncharted 2, those two selves were bridged in a wonderful equanimity, a digital compromise.”

Demon’s Souls - 4/5

“In general, this isn’t an adventure for the faint of heart. You’ll do your share of grinding to build a character before it’s over, and suffer plenty of heart-breaking deaths. Demon’s Souls has its rewards as well, though – beautiful sights, exciting battles, tons of replayability. They’re more than worth the challenge.”

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time - 5/5

“Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a remarkable achievement that makes the case for the series’ longevity and determined adherence to form. The game’s basics work so well and the improvements and changes are brought in to take advantage of one of the most solid gameplay foundations available.”

Xbox 360

Although Microsoft has worked to shed the Xbox 360’s image as a shooter console, 2009 was largely a year of blowing s*** up, Forza Motorsport 3 being an exception to the rule. Whether it was the sticky bombs of The Ballad of Gay Tony or the intense action of Halo 3: ODST, there was no shortage of explosive exclusives on the console. Not that Viva Pinata’s not fun or anything.

Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned - 5/5

“Now that you’ve heard everything that awaits you in The Lost and Damned, there should be no doubt that it’s worth every last penny of its $20 price tag (and in fact, could have been sold for a lot more, given the amount of content that is here). The 8-10 hour story mode alone would be worth a crisp Jackson, but the fact that it comes packaged with new rides, new music, new forms of entertainment, new side missions and a handful of new multiplayer modes is simply outrageous for that price.”

Halo 3: ODST - 5/5

“Is Halo 3: ODST an overpriced expansion or is it Bungie's “Call of Duty Killer,” as many gamers have presumed? It's neither...One of the gents at Bungie mentioned to me that ODST was initially a much smaller affair. But as the game progressed, the campaign became more than just a bunch of shootouts in New Mombasa; it became a story that stood on its own. Once the confusion subsides and gamers sit down with a controller, they’ll see that ODST is indisputably one of the year’s finest shooters.”

Forza Motorsport 3 - 5/5

“If you are a car lover or sim fan, you owe it to yourself to go out and get Forza Motorsport 3. The entire package drips with polish and the physics-based gameplay is solid across all game modes. This title transcends a pure gaming experience to become something of a virtual driving tool. Forza 3 is a deep simulation experience and it’s the best racer available on any platform right now.”

Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony - 5/5

“At this point, there’s a good chance that you know if you’re in the target audience for The Ballad of Gay Tony. If you wrote off Grand Theft Auto IV before finishing “Three Leaf Clover,” there’s a chance that you might overlook Rockstar North’s final effort in the Liberty City story arc. And that would be a shame. Although I found The Lost & Damned to be a more unsavory experience than GTA4, Gay Tony fires on all cylinders and delivers both solid storytelling and the same sort of over-the-top mayhem found in the best moments of GTA: San Andreas. It’s arguably the finest episodic content found in a console game this year.”

Wii

Arguably the only thing more annoying that a store shelf full of derivative rip-offs of Wii Sports and Wii Fit is a pack of people saying “there’s nothing to play on the Wii.” 2009 gave gamers a variety of opportunities to play some unique experiences that still can't be replicated anywhere else, and an unexpected trifecta of three great survival horror shooters on the platform. There was no shortage of solid games; arguably, the shortage was in gamers willing to play them.

MadWorld - 4/5

“Far from a perfect game, MadWorld is perhaps the answer to gamers’ pleas for a hardcore title to arrive on the Wii. You’ll be able to clean up the city in a little under seven hours without breaking a sweat – but it’s seven hours of pure bloody mayhem that you won’t find in most twenty-hour games. If you don’t need a parent’s permission to buy this game, strap on your chainsaw arm and prepare to have a bloody good time.”

House of the Dead: Overkill - 4/5

“House of the Dead: Overkill does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s addicting and accessible to gamers of all abilities, though not all age groups. Beginners will be able to make it through the game, but those with a competitive edge will strive to achieve ‘Goregasm’ (a point multiplier you earn for hitting the targets consecutively), as well as, earning high scores... If you want a game with rewarding, blood gushing headshots, the HOTD arcade feeling at home and a Wii game that doesn’t try to be cute or even remotely family friendly, this is a good one to pick up.”

Excitebots: Trick Racing - 4/5

“If you can find a way to get past its cotton candy exterior, Excitebots offers a frantic and fun ride for even the most novice riders. This little racer is practically packed to the exhaust pipe with mini-games, items to collect, and even a poker puzzle game for players out there that still hunger for something different. Play for more than a couple of hours and you’ll find that the game quickly wears on you, however, with repetitive environments and mini-games. Put your pride aside and give the game a spin. Excitebots may just be that gateway game you’ve been looking for to get the whole family into gaming.”

Punch-Out!! - 4/5

“Punch-Out!! is a brutal yet incredibly satisfying stroll down memory lane. The cartoonish presentation and character designs are slick and vibrant, and the controls (minus the balance board) stay faithful to the ease and responsiveness of the original. Of course, the thing that NES fans will appreciate the most is the fact that even though the game is basically a remake, it still packs an unrelenting punch, and it could very easily scar an entirely new generation of kids for years to come. Well done Nintendo. Well done.”

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 - 5/5

“Videogames based on golf have often been viewed as, to mangle a phrase, a good walk through a virtual world spoiled. Connecting with your virtual golfers has often been as hard for gamers as understanding the sport itself. With Tiger Woods PGA Tour moving to the Wii, EA has tried to make the connection by replicating the golfing action through the Wiimote. Good presentation and a lofty cast of golfers can only take you so far when the controls are not up to par. But this is the year everything changes with the introduction of the Wii Motion Plus, a device aiming to put the swing back into golf.”

Boom Blox Bash Party - 5/5

“It’s no secret that we here at X-Play loved Boom Blox. It was a refreshing destructo-puzzler that actually made good use of the Wii Remote. Initially, upon hearing about Boom Blox Bash Party we were a bit concerned that EA wouldn’t have enough new stuff to put in the game… or that Spielberg would suddenly want to turn all the bomb Blox into walkie-talkies or something. Happily, our fears were unfounded.”

Little King’s Story - 4/5

“It’s easy to dismiss Little King’s Story as another kiddie game for Wii. The cute box art, saccharine character design and adorable name are enough for most enthusiast gamers to give this title a pass. That would be a monumental mistake. After you get past the cutesy (but well done) trappings, the game offers a brilliant experience, combining real-time strategy, role playing, kingdom building, and disarmingly witty dialogue. You know that saying about not judging a book by its cover? Little King’s Story shows that it applies to games too.”

Wii Sports Resort - 5/5

“Wii Sports was a proof-of-concept that turned into a phenomenon, propelling the Wii up the sales charts, heralding the new future of videogames, opening up the industry to a brand new audience, and further such hyperbole. And while its successor, Wii Sports Resort, can't possibly make the same initial impact, it's significant in another way: it completely renders the revolutionary Wii Sports obsolete.”

Dead Space: Extraction - 4/5

“Dead Space: Extraction is a perfect example of what can happen when a developer approaches the Wii in the right way and maximizes the console’s capabilities to fit with the game’s style and design. Everything from the “shaky-cam” presentation to the brilliant remote implementation keeps you thoroughly engaged and immersed every second of the game. It’s quite an accomplishment, and one that will grab hold of you and not let go of you until the end credits roll.”

Wii Fit Plus - 4/5

“Wii Fit has undergone a bit of a cosmetic makeover and emerged as Wii Fit Plus, a more robust collection of mini-games utilizing the Wii Balance Board. Wii Fit Plus will not magically make you skinny; however, its offerings are fun enough to get your lazy butt up off the couch.”

New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 4/5

“It’s good to know some things never change. Mario jumps. He lands on platforms and enemies. Occasionally, he throws fireballs. If you’ve been playing with Mario since the days of blowing on your cartridge, then New Super Mario Bros. Wii will feel just like throwing on a Members Only jacket. The game retains every part of what made the original great -- solid platforming, the need for precise timing, and just enough whimsy to make falling down the same pit for the tenth time hurt a little bit less. While the idea of hitting a series of jumps or waiting for the perfect moment might not be everyone’s cup of tea, there are still enough of us out there who remember the joys of the original Super Mario Bros.”

A Boy and His Blob - 4/5

“If you are the kind of gamer who thinks bloodshed, explosions and bullets are necessary to enjoy a game, Blob isn't the title for you, but if you like a challenging puzzles, beautiful, stylish graphics and a touch of wistfulness in your gaming, you'll find a lot to love in A Boy and His Blob.”

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles - 4/5

“Let's just get this out of the way right up front: fans of the Resident Evil series who have spent anxious hours guiding Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield through Raccoon City and beyond will find lots to love about The Darkside Chronicles. And if you have a Wii and an insatiable desire to splatter zombie skulls like Pollack paintings, this game should be on your wish list without question. Its only flaws are the limits of its genre and hardware, and even then, it's still the best game of its kind ever made.”
