Welcome
Well it looks like even Blizzard has to make some adjustments for today’s market. Apparently a couple of days ago Blizzard had announced that they had to lay off 600 employees. Looks like around %90 of these layoffs will come from other departments not related to game development. This is good news given that we are all waiting for Diablo 3, bad news for the poor people who lost their job. They were sure to include that none of the layoffs would include WOW development, too bad, with this latest Panda expansion I feel they could lose some weight in the WOW department. Still, this just shows that no one is immune to today’s economy.
Which game are you looking forward too? Is it Guild Wars 2? Perhaps you are looking forward to Prey 2. Whatever it may be we have picked 6 games that we are looking forward to or thought would be worth mentioning.
In this episode we talk about Borderlands 2. A new class will be introduced in this release along with bigger maps.
Our second game is World of Warcraft : Mists of Pandaria So, Blizzard decided to bring in Kung-Fu Panda? All we can say is WTF?
The next game we discuss is Hitman Absolution. Looks good so be sure to check it out.
Did any of you know that Doom 4 was slated to come out this year? I was surprised to see this. The good news is that Multiplayer should come with it this time. Bring it! There is little information out there besides the hint that some going to QuakeCon 2012 may get a small glimpse of what’s to come.
Wow, valve is doing something with Counter Strike, well at least they are making it look better. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is slated to come out this year as well. Same game play but better graphics.
Want a good game to play for free? Tribes Ascend may be your answer. This fast paced game should be a nice change from the slower Battlefield type of games. It’s currently in Beta and easy to get a Beta key to check it out.
Any of you out there like AVP2? Well looks like Aliens: Colonial Marines you will love. We all agree that this may be the best one yet of the Aliens series. Slated to come out in 2012 so be sure to keep an eye on it. Looks Great!
Now for all of you StarCraft fans, get ready to change up your strategies because SC2: Heart of the Swarm is sure to change the dynamics of the game completely. New units, some being removed or limited. This will for sure be a game changer.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Mass Effect 3 is here and you can get it now! It has said that ME3 is comparable to KOTOR! Kinect version of ME3 is sure to make this fun as well.
We save the best for last. Looks like Blizzard is going to release a long awaited sequel, Diablo 3. This is a must get as soon as it comes out. Enough said.
