Game X in all it’s Glory.

Posted by Blacksmith | HHGS, Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Saturday 31 October 2009 10:01 am

The first annual Game X was a Smash hit. In it’s first appearance on the gaming conference scene, it managed to offer a variety of entertainment( as well as tutorials) that could rival EforAll any day. They chose to go the with the quality over quantity route and offer a few high profile titles for gamers to sink their teeth into. On deck was Bayenneta, Dante’s inferno, and SFIV w/ the new Round 2 tournament sticks. There were also an assortment of other games for enjoyment(Call of duty WOW, Gears of war, Rock band) at various booths sponsored by nongame related company’s. With out a doubt I have to say that Game X was The Sickness!!!! I can’t wait for next years event!!!. Shout Out to Jamie The PR corrdenator for talking care of us out there.

EA SPORTS MMA To Be Playable Before Strikeforce Event

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Friday 30 October 2009 12:15 pm

Electronic Arts is giving journalists a sneak peak at its upcoming mixed martial arts fighter, EA SPORTS MMA, on November 6th at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. According to the invitation sent to members of the press, the game will be made available in playable form to the media for the first time ever.

For MMA fans and gamers who can’t attend, though, EA will be revealing the first, official trailer for EA SPORTS MMA during the CBS’ broadcast of the Strikeforce event on November 7th.

On November 7th, Strikeforce and M-1 Global will be hosting “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers” at the Sears Center. Fedor Emelianenko, arguably the top pound for pound fighter in the world, will be making his Strikeforce debut against Brett Rogers. Jake Shields and Jason Miller will fight for the Middleweight Championship, and a number of other fights, including Gegard Mousasi vs Rameau Sokoudjou and Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva, are also featured on the main card.

The preliminary card fights begin at 6:00 PM Central and the main card fights start at 8:00 PM Central. Strikeforce will be showing the main card fights live on CBS.

EA Sports MMA is viewed by Dana White, president of the UFC, as a direct competitor to the THQ developed UFC line of video games. Strikeforce is considered to be one of the UFC’s largest competitors, particularly after they snatched up Fedor after the Russian Heavyweight legend’s contract negotiations with the UFC fell through. Also, it is rumored that UFC veteran Dan Henderson may sign with Strikeforce after failing to immediately renew his current contract with the UFC.

White has threatened numerous times to blacklist any mixed martial artist who decided to sign up to be in EA SPORTS MMA. Regardless, though, EA SPORTS MMA has had little trouble assembling a roster of reputable fighters. EA has announced that Fedor will be on the cover of the game, and that Miller and Mousasi will also be playable. Other fighters like Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock and Renato Sobra have been confirmed to appear in EA SPORTS MMA when it is released sometime in 2010.

With the final roster for EA SPORTS MMA not yet finalized, there’s still a lot of time for EA to add even more fighters to the game. College News devised a list of seven fighters that should be included in the game. Since then, at least one of them, Jason Miller, has been added to EA SPORTS MMA.

Our Take
Can’t wait for fights. Also can’t wait for the game. Will EA SPORTS MMA manage to take down the very, very awesome UFC 2009? Only time will tell, but I think it has a solid shot. Even without recognizable names like Chuck Liddell or Rampage Jackson, as long as the gameplay mechanics are solid, EA SPORTS MMA could still be a contender.

Modern Warfare 2 Drops The Ball With 3RD Person View Attempt

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Friday 30 October 2009 2:32 am

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a name that rings louder than even the great HALO but, that type of success can also come with a curse. The brand name Modern Warfare means guaranteed success which also gives developers the incentive to throw things in the mix without proper research and development to make all game additions a great one.

The announcement of Third Person gameplay for Modern Warfare is incredible but the problem is the fact that this addition was just added on instead of being something that could have lifted the overall franchise to new levels and possibly new players. This generation has seen tons of third person action games and they all have something in common which is a cover system. Amongst many other things it seems that Modern Warfare and Infinity Ward is a bit too comfortable with their success that they are willing to play rushin roulette with their game development abilities by releasing a feature that is broken.

The video article below explains it all with a special video presention and deep verbal details. Check It Out And Leave Your Comments

Microsoft blames “unprecedented demand” for Sky Player problems

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Thursday 29 October 2009 12:21 pm

Microsoft and Sky have said that consumers demand is to blame for the service being pulled from Xbox Live on the same day it launched.

The companies apologised for the delay, and intend to roll-out the movie and TV viewing service in stages to avoid similar problems.

“Sky Player on Xbox 360 launched on Tuesday 27th October and was met with phenomenal demand, with many tens of thousands of customers attempting to sign up within the first hour of launch,” said the companies in a statement.

“Unfortunately due to the unprecedented levels of simultaneous demand, we did not have the capacity to satisfy all service requests and therefore temporarily suspended all access to the service.

“Today, the roll-out will be implemented in phases to ensure that consumers experience both a smooth sign-up process and high-quality experience. We apologise to all customers that have not been able to experience Sky Player on Xbox 360, we assure them that this is being rectified and we thank them for their patience,” added the companies.

Tag Games: iPhone Installed Base Could Reach 300 Million

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Thursday 29 October 2009 10:29 am

Paul Farley of Tag Games, creators of Car Jack Streets, has said that iPhone and iPod Touch penetration could reach between 200 and 300 million as the device is shipped into China and Russia.

Speaking at Game Horizon’s Best of British event yesterday, the Dundee-based company’s managing director and co-founder made the prediction in the wake of both the hardware entering the new territories and the crumbling of exclusive deals with carriers, advising, “If you’re in development and you’re not taking the iPhone seriously, you should.”

Farley also predicted huge potential in the iPhone free-to-play model, although he said it would probably be up-and-coming companies such as Playfish that would lead the way in it, and not bigger publishers like EA.

In part, the iPhone’s success was down to iTunes, which people were already familiar with and trusted their credit card details with, he speculated. In contrast, only four per cent of mobile phone users have ever purchased a game, while 50 per cent have played one.

Piracy, he admitted, was a problem as it is on every other platform. “It’s something we’re looking for Apple to take a lead on,” he said.

However, he praised the platform holder’s support to date, saying it has been “fantastic” and open with developers. “I think the problem is a lot of the success has probably taken them by surprise,” he added. “I don’t think anyone could have predicted that iPhone as a gaming platform would take off in the way that it has.”
