LoopHole May Let UK Users Get ManHunt 2

Everyone by now should know that Manhunt 2 was banned in the UK, by the BBFC because it was to violent. Since then a lawyer Phill Carnell, who works with the legal firm CMS Cameron McKenna found a loophole that will allow UK users to get a copy of manhunt 2.

A 1984 loop hole in the UK’s Video Recordings Act says that downloaded games do not have to go through the certification. So this means that if the company rockstar decides to sell it in the UK they can do so by allowing users to download it. Keep checking back for more about this topic, that is all we have for now.

And expect manhunt 2 to be in stores Monday, October 29th in the US.

Personal Gaming Review On The Call Of Duty 4 Demo!

Hello

Im going to be reviewing the game call of duty 4 (demo) for the PC. First off i would like to stay it is just an incredible game, the graphics are so intense, insane action, amazing sounds, the game play is perfect. This is defiantly the best game Activison/Infinity ward and whomever else helped with the project has made out of all four call of duties, and it has to be my favorite FPS now, and i only played the demo!

You start off with an M4A1, with an m203 attached (Grenade launcher), you are put right into action, and your main goal is to make sure the tank doesn’t get destroyed, because it is pinned down by multiple hostiles. And if you are not careful, you will get killed very easy. So for action i give this game a 10/10 at least in the demo, but i can see the real game being the same way, I just cant wait for multi player action!

The graphics, wow the graphics! They are completely stunning, everything from the decals to the smoke is perfect, especially if you have a fast computer with anti aliasing maxed. For graphics i give this game 10/10 , perfect in every witch way!

The guns sound so realistic, feel so realistic, and look realistic, i have never seen a game get so close to real war! There are RPG’s buzzing by your head, grenades flying every witch way (you can throw them back at the enemy!). The best out of it all is the game play, its just plain perfect. Game play is also voted 10/10 , and i feel good about giving this game a perfect score, and of course the fun factor is 10/10!

I vote this game overall 10/10 and i have never done that before with any game, but this game deserves it!

Thanks for reading my review on call of duty 4

Halo Movie Is Not Completely Dead Yet

I have been reading some interesting articles, it seems that the halo movie isnt completely dead yet! Thanks to 1up for this very interesting article on the rumor!

“Here’s a good lesson in semantics, folks. Earlier this month, Neill Blomkamp, the would-be director of the ill-fated Halo movie, said the project was “entirely dead.” Yes, as it existed, but that’s not to say the possibility of a Halo movie in some form or another is out the window. In fact, Variety reports that preparation work on the Halo film continues at Weta, while Microsoft is in talks to find new distribution partners.”

“Kamins also shot down both the rumors of a swelling budget and dissatisfaction with Blomkamp. ‘The only budget the filmmakers every spoke about was $145 million less the 12.5% rebate that you get from shooting in New Zealand, which would put it at about $128 million,’ said [Jackson representative Ken Kamins]. And of the director, Kamins said, ‘Everybody is supremely confident in Neall. Part of what excited Peter and Fran was Neill’s vision. We’re very confident this film will move forward with the creative partners intact, who will take the film to production.”

Nintendo Is Number One For Software Sales!

I have some amazing news for you today! Gamasutra reports that analyst group iSuppli has figured out that Nintendo has taken the first place slot from Sony for most software sold!The report says that nintendo made $1.2 billion in the third quarter, which is up from $943.6 million in the second quarter and that is just from there Wii and DS Software! The revenue has doubled since Nintendo has released the Wii.

Sony generated around $1 billion from the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. And of course in third place Microsoft has made $317.8 million. Nintendo Wii is definitely my favorite console as well, i just love how its so interactive, it doesn’t get boring as fast as other consoles.

Bioshock Halloween Costume!

This guy dresses up as the bioshock character and has his daughter play the little girl character in the video game. I have to say, that costume is kick ass, must be custom designed to.

And doesnt that little girl kind of look scary with that make up ? She could be really scary if she wasnt smiling, reminds me of the girl from F.E.A.R lol

Boy Punches Mother Over Halo 3!

This kid was playing halo 3 peacefully until his mother forced him to get off because it was late, when he refused. The mother took the air card out of the xbox 360, so he couldnt play anymore. The kid went berserk and started punching his mother while hunting for the air card.

Soon as he found the card he locked himself in his room and continued playing. While he was playing halo 3, his mother was calling the cops. Some time later the cops arrived and the kid was punching the officers aswell, he got arrested and then got turned over to state juvenile authorities on charges of battery-domestic violence and battery on a law-enforcement officer.

I guess we wont be seeing him for awhile, how psycho do you have to be to get into a game so much that you could punch your mother. If i was the mother i would have beaten his ass with a baseball bat, but thats just me.

Also people are asking what an air card is, it is a wireless device to go on the internet, like laptops.

Guitar Hero Makes $115 Million First Week

Activision is going to hit there record quarter!

Guitar Hero 3 has hit $115 Million in the first week of release, it has been there biggest seller for activision out of every game they have launched. I also read that activison isn’t to worried about EA’s Rock Band because they have different tracks etc.

I personally agree, the game Rock Band has great potential, but the music is just terrible. I am a classic rock fan myself, such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Guns n roses, Hendrix, all those great bands! And EA has let MTV select the music, no wonder its crap!

I just wish guitar hero 3 let you download music online, it would make that game ten times better!

Halo 3 Weekly Update

Here is an update on halo 3, get the full update at Bungie

“Ongoing Issues In addition to continuing our investigations into melee in Halo 3, we’re aware of some other issues that are causing ruckuss and rage in the ever-vociferous Halo community. One of the armor permutations for the Elite model – the Commando shoulders – isn’t unlocking properly for anyone. This is a code-related bug and something that we’re aware of and looking into. Fixes in Halo 3 are pretty complicated and when you adjust one thing, it can turn out like that sci-fi movie where dudes went back in time to see dinosaurs and when one of them stepped on a butterfly it somehow eradicated humanity’s future. We’re trying to not eradicate futures, folks, but we are looking into a number of issues and possible tweaks going forward.

Other dudes report their screenshots either aren’t uploading at all or are taking ages and eternities to upload to the Web site. This is an issue we’re aware of and looking into. The issue is related to the autosave and upload feature for screenshots not collecting data properly, and while it’s unfortunate that it’s not working as intended, there is a feasible workaround. In order to expedite the appearance of screenshots, you can upload them into your File Share, and because we prioritize the data in the share, you should see results quickly. We know it’s not the most elegant solution in human history and top men are working on permanent fixes.”
Sorry for long update, haven’t been feeling well.

World Of Datecraft
