I bought the PC version of Far Cry 3 (a really excellent game) because people said it was the best one. Not going to argue about that (not having seen it run on consoles), but what really bothers me is the quality of this version coming from Borderlands 2. It goes from full screen to windowed mode everytime I alt+tab. It's an easy fix going through the options, but still really annoying. It cra...
Well, this is weird. I have a friend who's really big on modding games, and he recently began making one for Skyrim named Riverwood Cave Bandit Camp - and I am the voice of the questgiver, named Erik Brendlock. Being a voiceactor has been a little dream for me for a long time, and actually getting to do it is really fun! Of course it's not anything big, of course most people won't even hear it...
Playing a lot of Pyro, and I think I have gotten to the conclusion of this setup as not only the best for the Pyro, probably the best setup for any class over all (if that is actually possible given the variousness of the class). Main: Degreaser. Why? Fast weapon switch, cheap airblast Secondary: Reserve Shooter. Why? Crits on airborne targets, usefull on enemies airblasted a bit too far away o...
After 3 years of it dusting down in the shelf I decided to finally give Fallout 3 a real chance since I dropped it after five hours back in 08 (I actually started it on release) Now, I'm 80 hrs in, walking to find empty triangles in Capitol Wasteland before I complete the game, and I'm wondering if I should jump over to New Vegas or extend the gameplay some more. Is the DLC worth the money? Pla...
I don't get the praise for the Uncharted-series, brought to mind by just finishing Uncharted 3. Great as they are for the moments of jawdropping actionsequences, they fail equally hard to be good games. As experiences, they are awesome. They have some good moments, some great moments and a couple of "god damn it this is just so f'ing awesome"-moments I can't recall finidng in other games. The c...
I might be telling the world that I have gotten something bad on my computer, but I'll take the risk. Am I the only one who has this little line in the bottom of this page? Has shortcuts to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and some other buttons, and to the right it says "connect via Meebo". It came today, and no other site I use (some news, Facebook, a forum and Screened) has it, just Giant Bomb - a...
I might have missed out on some news earlier, but I think I saw Solid Snake in the newest Mkast about Rain? Or its it simply a klassic skin?
I love Wimp , sadly it has kind of a crappy interface (hell, it doesn't even have a proper Facebook share button). Anyway, there is no way one human can scan through all the great Wimp videos - yet i know many of us know a funny clip or two on the site - and now you can feel free to post yours here! I have recently fallen in love with this clip, called Unicorn sighting. http://www.wimp.com/unic...
So, I just discovered I could drag the Giant bomb logo placed top left corner around. Any reason for this?
So yeah, I made a short E3 list for the fun of it (my XP is going nowhere fast, yest I still love the quests), but how do I do it so that the list gets relevance to E3 other than in content? I am of course talking about the Lincoln Logs quest.
I've been playing around in RDR for some time now, and my negative thoughts about the game prelaunch has been blown away - the game is just awesome. But how the hell do you win duels? I've been marking enemies with red and white targets, but Marston doesn't shoot. Anyone care to tell me really detailed how to win a duel? Or at least making Marston try to win a duel?
Got my limited edition of Alan Wake yesterday! While the content isn't really "wow", the look of it is awesome. Finished Splinter Cell: Conviction (albeit there are some flaws, it's a great game I know I will play more) yesterday, so this came at the right time. Read all about it!
I preordered yet another limited edition yesterday, this time it was the Alan Wake one. And, like any other edition of limited sorts I have gotten lately, this one is also a game that doesn't really interest me. Hell, if I have to be honest, and I do because this is the internet, Alan Wake looks rather boring to me. Not "boring" like in "not entertaining", but boring like in "oh come on, I just...
So, playing The Passing is my favourite past time these days. Uncharted 2 is now a big "meh" on my to-do list, and i won't start a new single player before I have completed it. One thing I have come to understand is that the L4D-series is heavy on the reference-side. While I'm uncertain about things in Left 4 Dead 1, I know the Zombie Genocidest achievement is a nod to Dead Rising, that has a s...
So today I got around to switching my Steam Ui to the new one. first thing that dtruck me is that it's really pretty, and pretty cool. But the gameslist is too much crammed into the left of the screen, and while I love stats and info I don't really care how many friends owns the same games as me, especially not single player games. The new sounds are also a bit weird.
I'm not feeling too well, my russian shooter muscle is starting to ache and luckily I have both Metro 2033 and Stalker Call of Pripyat. I am right now half way through reading Metro 2033, and I'm not really sure if I want to play the game while reading the book, but I'm also really curious how much of the book they kept in the game.
Updated my PS 3 earlier, and now it won't connect to internet. No biggy, I'm only playing single player games these days anyway. But the problem is that it won't log into my profile either. I don't know, but that might lead to problems with trophies, will it not?
I thought I wouldn't get to play The Passing until sunday, but friday night had other plans for me. And my god did I love it! It's a bit on the short side (we completed it in about half an hour on our second playthrough using the glitch where you could jump over the fence to avoid setting of a crescendoevent), but the laughs, the reuniting with the other survivors, the writing on the walls and...
How do you get the iPod in MGS 4 to play? Found a lot of tracks for it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to start the damn thing. I have tried pressing, turning and yelling at the right analog stick to get it to work, but no luck.
The Passing is out today, no idea if it is out yet here in Norway though, but I probably won't get the time to play it until sunday. So, I think I'll run nuts in this shop instead.
So, I found my self preordering the limited edtion of Red Dead Redemption yesterday. Today I read a preview that said the game feels and controls kind of like GTA IV, and I'm all bummed out. I hate GTA IV. To the point that I didn't even complete it. Then again - the game can't include cellphones so I'm not really that scared, either.
The last few months I have really picked up an interest for rare editions of games, especially those with figurines. The only problem I have is that they might be hard to get in Norway, and they cost a lot. For instance does the Aliens Vs Predator CE with a facehugger (it's really neat) cost 900 NOK, or about 152 USD. And with the reception that game got, I'm not willingly putting that much mon...
So, tomorrow I'll hopefully gonna inject some more glorious "yay!" into my life, I'm planning on buying the White Edtition of Assassin's Creed 2. Don't really like the game, but that Ezio statue is so god damn neat. Same shop has a collectors edition of Alien vs Predator with a facehugger. Tomorrow, I'm going to be a happy man I hope.
Chapter 20 now, and my tactic is still successfull: When in danger, leap over a edge to hang from it, wait for the enemy to come close and press square. Just killed 5 enemies this way - one by one they came to me - I didn't even had to bother sliding along the edge I was hanging from - and one by one they got pulled down to certain death. Uncharted 2 is really like Megan Fox. Pretty as hell, bu...
Valve has confirmed that The Passing, the first DLC for L4D2 is out next week. Relly looking forward to it, and I can't wait to see who of the 4 survivors from the first game is dead. If I had to choose one, I'm hoping it's Bill, as he is the only character that doesn't really have any really memorable lines in the game. Zoey ain't that much either, but they can't kill the girl. Valve also reve...
So I suddenly started collectng figurines from videogames and other popculture I like. Had Cloude Strife the longest (3-4 years) , the others I have found here and there.
And the figurine of Sam Fisher looks really nice, the only problem is it doesn't really look like Fisher...
I've been looking around the webs for some DJ Hero videos, and I really want a copy, but there is two things holding me back .I didn't really play Guitar Hero that much, and I can't fit that DJ-table anywhere but in my bed... Man I'm really looking forward to moving out.
Title kind of says it all, I am think about getting Heavy Rain but I know who the Origami Killer is due to my position as a moderator at one of the bigger gameforums in Norway. So, having that spoiled, should I get Heavy Rain now or get it later and cheaper?
So yeah, I got a date with a girl that plays videogames. A girl that attended The Gathering, the worlds second largest LAN. A girl that share my kind of humour. I'm so god damn excited I'm constantly worrying about pissing my pants.
So, I'm at chapter 6 in Uncharted 2, and two things has struck me. People wearing grey suits and has a red hair is likely to die in piles. There are like 5 different enemies in this game (so far), and I'm willing to bet that 50% of them are using the same grey suit/red hair model. Weak. Also, the AI is Fubar^2. It's so bad the game gets harder because, when the game tells you to do some sneaky...
So, the Crysis 2 revealtrailer (or what ever you call those movies) is out, and it looks terrible. The dude in the suit looks like a half drunk rag doll, the humans looks like cardboard, the aliens look like organic unnamed run of the mill decepticons and the blood on screen-effect is lousy. Song on the other hand, is not. I found out (read: got told on YouTube) that it's the brittish singer Po...
