This Christmas eve let us celebrate an amazing Bioware crossover event. For a while now I’ve been hearing rumors that the best female voice actress in the biz, Jennifer Hale was going to be the voice of the Trooper class in Bioware’s upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. Well with this X-mas eve trailer those rumors have been confirmed! (Click to behold greatness)
In recent years some developers have taken it upon themselves to become “Hype men” for their respective companies. Now let’s get one thing straight, if I worked on a AAA title that looked like Bulletstorm, you bet I would hype the living hell out of it. The question however is, have the devs over at Epic and People Can Fly gone too far? Is this latest “hype” filled video for Bulletstorm dumbing down the talent of some amazing artists and programmers?
Are you burnt out on zombies? Well I’m not. The nerdy ladies of Team Unicorn, including our amigo Milynn Sarley (again a one sided friendship) gave us a nice gift for the holidays wrapped in the entrails of the undead! What is this gift you ask? An amazingly produced zombie survival video, that’s what!
Time to break out the compressed air and blow the dust out of your video card’s exhaust slot. The annual Holiday Steam sale is here again, brining ridiculous deals on major releases, indie games, and entire studio catalogs.
Today the FCC voted for the adoption of "Net Neutrality" regulations and it passed 3-2. So what does this mean? It's a bit confusing, it is a mostly watered down version of what once was a truly convincing argument for…
Horde mode is a blast, nobody can argue with that. Love or hate Gears of War, horde mode is nothing short of genius. Epic Games continues to award its fans with special events that alter the game-play and make old adventures feel new. This holiday season let us celebrate with the merry sounds of grunting and evisceration, let us celebrate the 12 days of Gearsmas.
L.A. Noire, the next major title due out of Rockstar looks phenomenal. Mexico aside, Red Dead Redemption was an amazing title. Well acted, well written, and if they can pull that off in this new setting I think L.A. Noire…
So today we talk about Mass Effect 3 pre-ordering, Mass Effect 2 soundtracks, our favorite podcasts, Comic-con registration (or lack there of), and the year end Best of lists. We review two Tron games, post mortem the VGA game trailers…
Tomorrow marks a very special day for us here at Nerd Appropriate. A day when us nerds march waste deep through the swamps of ‘Nam to rid the world of communists! At some point tomorrow both PSN and XBL will Make Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam available for download. Why are we excited? Well a few of us thought that Bad Company 2 with its updated Frostbite engine was actually a better game than CODBLOPS. We always like rooting for the underdog.
For the lucky ones that will truly have time to themselves over the next couple of weeks, this is a great time to catch up on your nerd quotient. Most television shows are on hiatus, theres a lull in video game releases, and plenty of sales out there to entice your credit card to jump out of your wallet. Time to hit your nerd media collection hard, and get started on some new stuff too.
With Christmas less than a week away we here at Nerd Appropriate are more busy than Phillps (…zing). I had plans to write a few breathtakingly long intellectual articles filled with factoids and quotes from interesting people, but I figured I’d spare you all for now and just tell you what I’ve been up to this weekend. Welcome to Weekend Warrior ™.
