It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Gearsmas

Did everyone have a wonderful Christmas? My Christmas for 2011 was filled with lots of Gears of War SWAG. For example, my tree was topped with the COG flag that was part of the Epic Edition for Gears of War 3. Aside from that, I would like to personally thank Mad Catz for the wonderful and AMAZING Tritton GOW3 Edition headset. It is truly a sexy beast that enhances gameplay with the 7.1 surround sound and excellent sound quality that ensures no sneaky bastard can cheap shot me from the back 🙂 I can easily recommend this headset as worthy of purchasing and owning 🙂 The pulsing omen glow effect is a killer feature for both the headset and Vault 360 case.

I would like to share with you guys my awesome Xbox 360 set-up and some of the awesome gifts I received this Holiday season. With that, I want to also say that I earned my wings last weekend and I will be hitting level cap in Skyrim this weekend. I’m currently lvl 48 so lvl 50 will be a piece of cake 😉

Enjoy guys and Happy New Year to all!

Revisiting Emergence Day

We’re getting closer to the release date of the next Gears of War 3 DLC. RAAM’s Shadow will easily add 3 hours of gameplay to the action-packed campaign for you and your +1’s. We can now finally revisit the events of Emergence Day in this latest DLC. In addition to more gameplay hours, we will be able to revisit characters from the past. I know one thing is certain – I really missed being able to play as Lt. Kim and Tai. They were both my favorite characters to play in multi-player. I’m so glad they are back in the final series (even if it’s a short appearance) 😉 Aside from reuniting with old friends, there will be 2 added COG members to play as: Alicia Valera and Michael Barrick (from the Gears comic). Did I also mention you can also play both sides? You can now see the POV of both sides – good and evil as you transition within the story between the COG and Locust opposing factions.Who’s ready to find out what exactly unraveled during E-day?

RAAM’s Shadow comes out on 12/13/11 priced at $15.00 (1200 Microsoft points).

Another Satisfying Game For iOS

Now is the time for you to once again raise your blade for the battle of your life. Infinity Blade II is finally out with a new story and adventure. This gives you more reason to continue your conquest for hacking and slashing foes that get in your way. After defeating the Sun God, you automatically became the world’s most wanted champion. Oh yes – that means everyone is coming for you at full force. Will you manage to survive until Infinity Blade III (assuming the third is a possibility)? We’ll see about that.

If you’re a fan of the first Infinity Blade, I can assure you that the sequel will not disappoint you. Who wouldn’t enjoy this game on their iOS device? It’s the perfect game for your iPad/iPhone/iTouch 🙂 I mean it is still the best looking mobile game.

Check out this opening cinematic video of Infinity Blade II. It’s such a tease! Did anyone notice that your new companion looks a lot like Tali from Mass Effect? I am definitely going to purchase this game once it gets put on sale on the App Store.

Watch the Trailer of the Horde Command Pack DLC

Today is the official release date for the Horde Command Pack DLC. Check out the trailer showing off all the new items/skins/maps/characters you can unlock when you get this add-on. I am now downloading it and will be playing this right away! I still need to finish my BF3 campaign >_< I’m almost done with that too. Are you guys excited to try out this DLC? The only downside is that Epic will be offering the new horde map packs as a special Thanksgiving treat for everyone and anyone who owns a copy of Gears of War 3. I guess this is Epic’s way of giving a little added value to their fans (with slightly upsetting those who paid for a Season Pass – really it’s not a big deal).

This free DLC is a ‘Versus Booster Map Pack’  and will be available for download on Thanksgiving and will allow players to get 5 new maps that were part of the Horde Command Pack to play in versus mode. Other than that, there’s nothing else special about it besides the fact that it’s free.

Gears of War 3’s Next DLC Announced

Epic Games 1Ups my anticipation with news of the following DLC after the Horde command pack. We now get a chance to experience events of Sera post-Emergence Day from the perspective of RAAM from the Locust faction.

This will be one of the largest DLC’s Epic Games has ever released which offers additional gameplay of more than 3 hours + to the campaign. In addition, we will revisit familiar faces that we encoutnered during the fight for humanity in the previous installments of Gears of War 1 and 2. These familiar faces consist of Lt. Minh Kim and Tai Kaliso. Both of these characters were actually my favorites of all time! I used to play both skins in Gears of War 2. I mean afterall, Lt. Minh Kim is representing my people 😉 Besides reintroducing us to familiar faces, there will also be a new character featured which is another female named Alicia Valera.

RAAM’s Shadow DLC will be available on December 13 priced at $15.00 (1200 Microsoft points). This DLC pack will add 6 new multiplayer characters, Chocolate weapon skin set, and additional 250 Gamerscore.

For those of you who ordered the Season Pass (such as myself), you won’t have to worry about the price. All you have to do is add it to your queue and download it on 12/13/11.

Sequel Confirmed: Infinity Blade 2 Incoming

I’m so happy! Infinity Blade 2 will be coming soon in less than 2 months from now. This is one of the must have titles you should get for your iOS. I’ll let you guys in on a secret, my main motive for purchasing my iPad 2 was just so I can finally experience Infinity Blade without having to steal my friend’s iPhone for the moment to hack and slash for 30 min 🙂 But that’s besides the point! Infinity Blade is an amazing game that will blow you away on your iOS. What’s even more amazing is that there will be a sequel. This sequel will be running on Unreal Engine 3 with added features such as online capabilities that will keep you playing more often than you did before. Price and details about multiplayer modes have yet to be announced – but stay tuned for updates. I can’t wait 🙂

Get a Season Pass for Gears of War 3

Are you guys enjoying Gears of War 3 so far? I sure as hell am! I love this game so much, even though some sections of the story is sad. I still need to run a second playthrough of the campaign on insanity mode but horde and beast mode keeps distracting me 😮 I have beat wave 50 twice now. It’s a bit hard when people keep bailing out early on and the odd fact that people searching matches can’t randomly fill in the empty slots after someone leaves. Hopefully Epic will address this issue and implement their social matchmaking as they did previously in Gears of War 2.

BUT that’s besides the point everyone! For all you Gears head (such as myself), Epic games is offering us a year’s worth of DLC content in a Season pass, at a discounted price of $30 if we decide to pay up front either cash/card/points. I think that’s a sweet deal, it’s just like how Rockstar incorporated their Rockstar pass for LA Noire. I totally dig this deal only because this is my no. 1 game of all time.

So you’re probably thinking what is the asking price and what can we compare it to if we decided not to pre-order? If you choose to pay up front now, it will cost you 2400 Microsoft points – equivalent to $30 vs 3600 points ($45) if you decided not to pre-order. That’s a 33% discount! (WOO)

The first round of incoming DLC’s will arrive in November. Epic hasn’t released any detailed information justifying exactly what 4 of these DLC’s were, but I’m going to assume that some will be an addition for the campaign (but will not center around the core Delta squad or follow the storyline of the Gears of War books), more multiplayer content, new map packs, and possibly a weapon/character skins pack.

I strongly advise any Gears of War fan to purchase a Season Pass. You guys know you will eventually pick up the DLC’s to add more value to your game. If not, one thing is for certain – I’m all in on pre-ordering this DLC pack 😉

WTF Is a Cluckshot?!

Cheers to everyone who picked up a copy of Gears of War 3! To celebrate the release of such an epic title, I bring you news regarding the game’s secret hidden weapon – the Cluckshot!

***WARNING*** If you haven’t completed the entire campaign (or even begin to start), I strongly advise you do not watch this video. It contains spoilers that may ruin your campaign experience. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂

Now you’re probably wondering WTF is a cluckshot and does such weapon really exist in Gears? Well the cluckshot is literally what it sounds like. It’s Gear’s special Easter-egg weapon that is loaded with a chicken on the other end. Apparently you can only acquire this weapon on insanity mode during the campaign (Act 4 – Chapter 1). Are you dying to find out just how to get your hands on this cock?! Consider this case closed.

Click here to unlock the Cluckshot Easter Egg weapon.
