X-Men Origins: Wolverine - first screen (non-Wii)

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 22:29:41 +0000

Looks nice enough, but I don’t see any big reasons why the Wii couldn’t come fairly close to this. There are also some other small details on the game listed below.

- real-time in-game healing
- boss fight against Sentinel robot prototype
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl influenced development

More details will be in the latest issue of EGM

Deal of the Week and Friendship is Free deals on XBL for the whole December unveiled

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:57:50 +0000

Microsoft's out to make sure your Christmas is just a tad more greener and redder with these two great deals for Xbox Live Members. Starting this week, MS will be jumpstarting two global 30-day special deals on select XBL content, as well as free multiplayer for several games.

Here's what you have to look out for. Every week, one piece of content from XBLM will be hailed as the chosen Deal of the Week. Basically, this will give you a limited-time only discount, but do take note that you must be a Gold member in order to have access to this.

If you are, however, a Silver member and can't afford just yet that US 4/month tag price of Gold membership, then don't worry, cos you'll also get something free as well via the Friendship is Free deal: multiplayer trials. For the duration of the month-long deal, all XBL members will have access to muultiplayer mode for XBL Arcade games.

Check out the list of the games included:

A Kingdom for Keflings
Aegis Wing
Bomberman Live
Hardwood Hearts
Hardwood Spaces
UNO
Small Amrs
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

regional restrictions may apply

So kick back and enjoy this December holidays treat from Microsoft on your Xbox Live.

Free Live multiplay for SFII Turbo HD, more

Microsoft’s offering free Live multiplay on a bunch of XBLA games over December, including A Kingdom for Keflings, Aegis Wing, Bomberman Live, Hardwood Hearts, Hardwood Spades, UNO, Small Arms and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Which is nice. So if you’re a Silver member looking to try out “proper” Live, here’s your chance. There’s more [...]

Okay, moving on. In other PSN news, we've got an unpronounceable shooter, Soldner-X: Himmelsstumerrmurmursumthinrathur ... but we prefer the less perplexing -- and now portable! -- versions of Super Stardust Portable and Everyday Shooter for PSP. And who could pass up the "Lingerie Girls" Theme? It's like your mom's Victoria's Secret catalog in -- yowzah -- 1080p!

Head past the break for this week's full lineup -- or check out the European update over on PS3 Fanboy. We swear, you'll find something to buy.

Video Games Movies You Can Stream Via Netflix

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:02:17 +0000

You can request any video game movie through Netflix’s normal delivery service, but with Xbox 360 streaming, why wait?

Unfortunately, you’re going to have to, unless “The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Series” is something you’re dying to see.

We sorted through Netflix’s list of video game (or video game-related) movies currently available to stream, and here’s what we found.

* BloodRayne
* BloodRayne 2
* National Geographic’s …Video Games: Behind The Fun
* Gamers [comedy]
* Super Mario Bros. Super Show: Mario of the Deep
* Pokemon: The First Movie
* Street Fighter Alpha [anime]
* Street Fighter Generations [anime]
* The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Series

It’s admittedly a pretty small list, but streaming — especially high-definition streaming — only recently became part of Netflix’s suite of services. In the coming months, expect Netflix to add more and more value to streaming. Hopefully, that means more video game movies. “Mortal Kombat” was good, you know.

Plus, it’s been too long time since I’ve watched “Double Dragon.”

"My boy, I'm so disappointed with you. To the corner with you!"

"Aww, Professor! For how long do I stay there?"

"Well, I've got three riddles for you ..."

List of streamable videogame movies on Netflix

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:17:00 +0000

How is that new-ish NXE and Netflix thing working out for you? Find any dirty movies yet? I haven't found much. Most of the things I find that sound pretty horny actually aren't at all. Yesterday, I watched Happy Gilmore again for the millionth time, and then I followed it up with some anime that had more panty shots than a Victoria's Secret catalog. In one scene, a girl falls off a ladder face first into another's crotch, while the victim finds her nose buried in ladder-girl's ass. High-brow stuff, folks.

Oh, and here's my favorite Happy Gilmore scene:

Grandma: Sir, can I trouble you for a warm glass of milk? It helps me go to sleep.

Nursing Home Orderly: You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut-the-hell-up. Now, you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Check out the name tag. You're in my world now, grandma.

We're a games site, so I suppose we should be talking about videogame movies, right? While I was watching stupid movies and horny animation, the Multiplayer Blog was digging through the service to find the games movies. Here they are:

BloodRayne
BloodRayne 2
National Geographic’s …Video Games: Behind The Fun
Gamers [comedy]
Super Mario Bros. Super Show: Mario of the Deep
Pokemon: The First Movie
Street Fighter Alpha [anime]
Street Fighter Generations [anime]
The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Series

Yeah, it's not a very long list. It'll get better. I don't know about you, but I may rock some The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Series tonight. I think "unintentionally funny" is the best descriptor for that one.
