MAG Double XP

Not quite double xp weekend but rather “Double XP until further notice” on all games completed in the “Directives” zone.

Here’s what MAG wrote on their site.

"Good news everybody! Starting immediately (yes, as in right now) all players who join the MAG in-game “Directive” queue will receive DOUBLE experience points!
That’s right folks. It doesn’t matter what mode the Directive queue puts you in, if you complete any Directive game to its finish, you’ll receive twice your earned XP at the wrap-up screen. Best of all? Our double XP promotion will continue on until further notice!
So what are you waiting for? Equip your favorite loadout, log in to MAG’s directive’s queue, and see where the wind takes you. Enjoy!"
Looks like ill be playing a little MAG this weekend.

Gamble on your gaming skills

News just in, Richard Branson entrepreneur and owner of the Virgin brand now has his site set on the gaming world with a gambling website. VirginGaming.com is the site in which gambling/gamers (both PS3 & XBOX) will connect through and place bets for a potential win. The site say’s it will judge your skill with every 5 games you play pitting players against other players in the same league keeping the competition fair. They also say they have an excellent system which can spot the cheaters and hackers.

Could this be bad for the gaming industry?

Will it change the way we think of our games?

Gambling = Addictive

Gaming = Addictive

could mixing these 2 things together in one place become disastrous for many gamers?

Time will tell but if you’re tempted to give it a try like me, just remember never bet what you can’t afford to throw away. The gambling site apparently allows its registered users to gamble anything from $1 to $1000 so it could become pretty bad for your health.

Currently

The only games available on the site are:

  • MLB 10 (the show)  PS3
  • FIFA 10 PS3 & Xbox
  • NCAA Football 10 PS3 & Xbox
  • Madden NFL 10 PS3 & Xbox
  • Halo Xbox

With Madden NFL 11, Fight Night Round 4, Mod Nation Racers, NHL 10 and NHL 11 coming soon.

There’s also a tournament section to the site which costs $1 to enter and giving $12.50 – $38.00 to the winner which i guess sounds harmless enough, nothing wrong with a flutter. I just hope they keep the entrance fee low for all and keep it harmless and fun.

Oh and please note! there is a withdraw fee. If you want to withdraw using Paypal it will cost you $3, Cheque in regular mail = $6, Cheque in express mail = $15 and Cheque via courier = $45

Lets see where this goes.

Remember! Don’t gamble what you can’t afford to throw away.

Your name in the GT5 credits

Yess that’s right, Polyphony Digital (creators behind the Gran Tuismo series) are giving us the chance of having our name put in the Gran Turismo 5 credits and all you have to do is come up with a name for a song.

The song is already written incase you were wondering and to choose the name all you have to do is listen to the song have a read of the lyrics and send in your song title.

Im guessing most people will go for the obvious so im taking my time to come up with something unique and if you want to give it a try here’s the link.

the deadline is July 25th, 2010 11:59PM (GMT)

The Playstation “Classics HD” Wishlist

With the successful release of the God of War collection, the announcement of the Sly Cooper collection (a HD/3D update of Sucker Punch’s legendary Sly games with full trophy support) and the rumour mill working overtime about a possible Team ICO HD collection, Sony looks locked and loaded to launch a new brand – “Classics HD”.

There has been a lot of discussion since the end of E3 and the main point has been this – “What next Sony? Which games are you going to give the sparkly HD/3D treatment too next?”

The majority of game forums are filled with what you would expect – A Final Fantasy Collection. A Gran Turismo Collection. A GTA Collection – but I wasn’t satisfied with this. There were so many classics on PS1 and PS2 that I don’t think it should be just the big franchises that get the make over. I have scoured the recesses of my brain to come up with a list of forgotten legends that deserve another £25 out of our pocket, a good old HD spit-shine and haven’t been mentioned anywhere else. Here it is…

Crash Bandicoot Collection?ZOE Collection?Legacy of Kain Collection?

A Crash Bandicoot Collection
Crash Bandicoot is Playstations prodigal son. He was the unofficial Playstation mascot for 2 generations of console, having a successful career, developed by Naughty Dog (You know those guys right? Uncharted Series?) on the PS1 and an array of studios on PS2. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem capable of making the giant leap to the PS3 .
I’m sure that anybody reading this who owned an original PlayStation will have fond memories of this series. Jumping over pitfalls, collecting Wumpa Fruit, avoiding Nitro boxes and running away from giant boulders/polar bears, all with the aim of rescuing your bandicoot lady friend Tawna from the nutty professor Neo Cortex. Ah, the memories.
Now imagine this Crash craziness in glorious HD? It would be like taking a trip down memory lane on acid! All the colours of the rainbow pummelling your retinas as you try and navigate the super fun (although occasionally frustrating) islands? Yes please. Throw in 3D and I would sell the left hemisphere of my brain to see it released.

A Legacy of Kain Collection
You name it, The Legacy of Kain series has had it. Vampires, Time Travel, nasty looking swords, giant spider queens, swirly vortex gods and everything dark and spooky in between. The story line is epic, involving and completely engrosses the player, not to mention the game play and graphics that were so far ahead of the times that it was scary. Why not let Kain and his soul sucking spawn Raziel have another crack of the whip? This time in 720p. It would be huge.

A Zone of the Enders Collection
With Hideo Kojima teasing the development of Zone of the Enders 3, this looks like a sure fire bet to get a HD remastering. The 2 PS2 games (ZOE and ZOE 2: The Second Runner) received moderate success but sales weren’t anywhere near what the games deserved. Kojima blames this on “releasing the game at the wrong time” and it had to compete with other big titles. Perhaps Kojima can find a nice clear window in the release schedule of next few year and give the Enders another chance to blast around Mars and Jupiter in a Mecha? I hope so. It would sell like hot cakes in a Japan for sure.

The 3 games I have mentioned are my personal favourites, but there is an immense library of 1st rate titles on PS1 and PS2 just begging for a re-release. Dino Crisis, Beyond Good & Evil, Devil May Cry, Oddword, Driver…I could go on forever.
Also, Mr Rob Groove wanted a special mention for the Mortal Kombat series, namely MK: Deception. Apparently he had an unhealthy addiction to the puzzle and chess modes. Could the MK classics be getting a HD upper cut? With the new MK game on its way, who knows.
