Tomb Raider is Awesome. Kardashian Freaks Aren't.

Please dear Satan do no let Kim Kardashian be the next Lara Croft. Or God. Buddha. Zeus. Zeus won't let that happen. Whatever omnipotent being is reading this I implore you: either kill her or stop the director with some sort of divine intervention.

Not only is it possibly going to star a no-talent bimbo, it probably will be shot in 3D and be a more "comic strip version of Lara."

Seriously. I can't even fathom the amount of destruction this will do to the credibility of not only the Tomb Raider series but for game-movies in general.

God I hate reality TV and their "stars"....

Lack of News....and Attention Span....

Yeah yeah, I have not been around. I have no idea why actually, I just seem to not focus on stuff.....bunny suit. ANYWAY yeah, I'm going to attempt to post more. So there.

Keyboard Hero?

Well, not exactly a "Hero" game but you know its coming now; the hint is kind of blatantly laid out there: ^

Along with that, it definitely looks as if vocalization is going to be making its way from RB: Beatles to RB3. I don't have a particular opinion about this because I normally never sing (unless its GH: Metallica).

I dunno, I'm kinda fed up with music games.....GH Aerosmith, Van Halen, RB Beatles, Band Hero (it has like 6 songs by that fuckin' Taylor Swift chick among other poor song choices.)

I'd definitely have to see the design of said keyboard as well as the song list before I even consider picking this up.

Killzone 3 Drops....Literally. With Jet Packs

Killzone + jet packs + 3D = Motion sickness patches and long hours on my PS3. Sony "officially" name dropped Killzone 3 even though we all knew it was coming; we didn't see jet packs coming though.

It may just be me but everyone wants airborne shooting combat-goodness now a la Halo: Reach (and now KZ3).

To be fair, Jetpac did it first:

Pac Man is an Old Dude

Yeah, he's old. He's had the munchies for just over 30 years now. He's so old in fact that Google did a tribute to our favorite yellow game character which you can waste precious work hours on here: Pac-Man 30th Anniversary.

I myself, during my extended absense, took part in several hours of gameplay myself but according to RescueTime, a company that creates productivity software, estimates that more than 4.82 million man-hours were spent playing Google's first interactive logo. That's a lot of time. That's...if I did my math right, just about 550 years time accrued in just two-three actual days. Keep on munchin' buddy, keep on munchin'.

A WTF Moment Brought to You by the Mama Franchise...

What's better than playing the Gardening or Cooking Mama games? Playing Babysitting Mama of course!!!

No seriously, Babysitting Mama. And it gets a little less ridiculous and a bit more disturbing from there; you actually get a plush baby doll that you have to....place...a Wii Remote into....in the butt....Yeah....

All weirdness aside, the game will have you insert the Wii Remote into the baby and partake in over 40 activities ranging from feeding to changing it as well as bouncing and rocking. I dunno. I'm not ready for kids nor am I ready to shove a Wii Remote up some doll's rear and shake it. Nooooooot gonna happen.

Reach has a Release Date!

Yeah. September 14th. This Year. I'm going to destroy everything. Seriously. I played about 500 matches of the Beta, mainly Arena but a lot of Grab Bag and some Invasion + Generator Defense. Definitely liked the Armor Lock and Jet Pack abilities along with the Pulse Rifle and Needle Rifle. Elite play is sick and I can't wait for more.

I can only pray for more weapons, abilities and game types along with a better way of making and keeping rank in the Arena (I started Gold, dropped to Silver, dropped again to Steel, went up to Bronze and then again to Silver all while playing consistently the entire time.)

Here's hoping!
