Starcraft 2 Finally Released

So it is finally here. The epicness that is Starcraft number 2. So far it is great with an equally awesome story line. Picked it up last night at midnight like many people did. Sorry for those that did the download plan since you could not play until 10am this morning, but I'm sure the wait was worth it. Anyway its a short post today as I am going to continue playing and I figure most people aren't going to read this because they are too busy playing as well. Anyway enjoy! If you don't have it yet, get it quick. Got mine from BestBuy and if you do so in the next couple days, you get a $10 reward certificate for your reward zone account.

Comic-Con New Halo: Reach Announcements

News is out about the latest work being done on the newest of the Halo series, Halo: Reach and it is only getting better. The firefight 2.0 is being updated to fix the glitches that were a problem in the beta. Not only that, they are adding even more new elements. The idea of Firefight is for Spartans to achieve missions against the Elites while the job of the Elites is to absolutely annoy the Spartans. Elites will be fighting beside NPCs as well as other players now in the new multiplayer game type. On top of the updated Firefight, Bungie released their newest epically huge map, Forge World. If you thought Blood Gulch was big, Forge World will blow your mind. Blood Gulch is actually incorporated within this map and only comprises about a quarter of its area. It will be important for Bungie to make sure they make the gametype for that map a good one so as players aren't bored like we were back in the days of Blood Gulch. Anyway, even more is being done so hopefully they will release more information so I can keep you updated.

Other game releases to stay up to date with:
Left 4 Dead 2 has released 3 new maps and Battlefield Bad Company 2 has released a new Onslaught Game Mode. Assassin's Creed 2 is Xbox's feature for Deal of the Week with great deals on add-ons and avatar items. Also keep an eye out for the new Halo: Reach Xbox console coming this Fall.

Unfortunately I do not have any videos for today so I am going to give you a little bit of Call of Duty action from youtube and Machinima where a dude gets a DOUBLE NUKE. Enjoy!

Finally pre-ordered Starcraft 2

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of AMPM. All opinions are 100% mine.

So on my way to pre-ordering Starcraft 2, I stopped at the ampm right before the BestBuy to get a snack and found that they have these secret menu items and they are unveiling them every week. The latest one is called the Chili Conquistador and is definitely my favorite. So I walked in for a snack and came out with a huge burger. I couldn't help myself, it looked really good, and it was. Chili is great to begin with but a Chili Burger, now that's just perfect. They will be adding new Secret Menu items every week and you can check them out on their facebook page by clicking the secret menu tab. My plan is to stop by there each week on my way to BestBuy or Gamestop as I check out some of the latest releases, and maybe make a few purchases, to try each new SecretMenu Creation. If you have had one of the SecretMenu items, go check out their facebook page to vote which you like best and visit anyway if you haven't tried any to see what looks good. Then on August 2nd, create your own secret menu concoction. On that day I will have to create my ultimate burger and sit back and play some Starcraft 2. Can't wait.

The Latest Call of Duty: Black Ops Trailer

It just keeps getting better! The latest trailer for Black Ops was released and the game looks like its getting better every time. My only question now is, how well will it sell with the competition from other first person shooters that are going to be releasing as well. With the new Medal of Honor on its way along with other shooters like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Bulletstorm, Activision will be hard-pressed to make sure they get this game out before Christmas. Christmas sales from an early release date should give Call of Duty the advantage. After Christmas though, there is no telling what game will turn into the hot seller because they all look great so far from the trailers. Check out the latest Black Ops trailer and the other trailers to see how they compare.

Medal of Honor



The new Medal of Honor is set to release October 12 of this year for Xbox360, PS3, and PC. In fact, as a reward for buying the game, stores are also giving away beta keys for anyone who pre-orders this classic shooter game. Those that pre-order will be the first to test out the latest in first person shooters bringing back an old classic that is said to now be a good mix of Call of Duty and BattleField 2. Although the beta is only offering a limited selection of game modes, weapons, and maps, the game itself is suppose to be excellent. It is on my list of games to pre-order so as I can join the beta which began on June 21. Pre-order now to join in and check out the trailer to find out exclusive information on the limited edition of Medal of Honor.

FF XIV Announced

So Final Fantasy 14 has been annouced as the new online gameplay version of Final Fantasy. So far it has been mainly considered for PC and PS3 as it has been in the past but it is also being considered to be released for Xbox360 as well. It is likely to come out for Xbox360 considering the release of Final Fantasy 13 did as well as the last online Final Fantasy. So far not much has been said about the storyline behind this new world of Haiderin but new features, battle system, and more are sure to make this game an interesting part of the Final Fantasy series. A 2010 release date of September 30 is the optimistic time frame that Square Enix has proposed although they have not set an exact date for release. I doubt they will be able to meet such an optimistic date but we will see. A beta is set to be released in 2010 as well which I hope to catch to test out this game because I never bothered to play FFXI. Check out the trailer to see what you think.

Second Rising of the Dead

Dead Rising 2 is set to come out September 28, 2010. Set several years after the Wilamette incident, Dead Rising 2 turns Fortune City into the newest zombie killing playground. Killing zombies is the name of the game for Chuck Greene, the character you will be playing when the onslaught begins. Capcom has invented tons of new ways to get creative for solving your zombie infestation problems. Gamers be advised, the first Dead Rising caused many RROD because of the Infinity mode where the save ability was disabled. If there is a game mode anything like this in the second one, you better keep an eye on your Xbox. Check out the trailer and see for yourself the new zombie killing methods that will be available.
