NEWZ!
K, so it’s been a long time since I’ve posted, but I return triumphant, bringing tasty GAMZOR NEWZ:
- Valve’s mysterious update to the coputer version of Portal on the 1st made it so that the 26 radios contain morse code messages when taken to certain parts of each level. The messages were decoded to give images of GlaDOS and messages from the founder of Aperture Science. There was even 2 adresses found that corresponded to Kirkland (WA) Addresses, so of course within half an hour, one loyal fan had left to check it out. Nothing found I’m afraid

- After a monday board meeting with Activision, the 2 heads of Infinity Ward (modern warfare) did not turn up for work on Tuesday or Wednesday. When people started to investigate, Activision released a statement saying it was investigating breaches of contract and that termination of contracts and litigation would follow. By the late Wednesday, Activision revised it’s statement, confirming that the 2 heads were no longer in the employ of the company… and so died the last thread of originality within Activision and all its subsidaries. Activision is now aproaching the level of gamer hatred normally reserved for EA.
- The Halo Reach beta vid is out and guess what? THATS RIGHT MUTHAFUCKERS! It has JETPACKS, ASSASINATIONS, GUT PUNCHING, NEEDLER RIFLES, ACTIVE ROSTAS (Joining mid-game to reduce waiting times), 3 NEW GAME MODES (one of which involves shooting the skull off an enemy[maybe a vip?], then retreiving it for your team), AND THE ABILITY TO DO DIVING COMBAT ROLES. Anyway… you can see it all in the video here: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/03/leaked-halo-reach-beta-trailer-shows-jet-packs-assassinations/
