Button Mashing Bunnies

This will separate the men from the boys, er... this will bring the men and the boys together to fight to the death. Playboy and Mortal Kombat have joined forces in order to promote the latest version of Mortal Kombat, which hit store shelves April 19. The commercial  which of course can be seen here, definitely will catch your interest. Playboy Bunnies Jo Garcia and Brittney Palmer star in the commercial  and if you didn't know who they were before, you definitely will after the clip. You actually don't even realize the video is about Mortal Kombat till the end, and why would you need to anyway? You'r already going to be glued to the screen to these two button mashing beauties the entire time. The girls even have characters in the game that resemble them pretty well. Mortal Kombat did well to include Playboy in their ad campaign, even if you only know that the commercial is about the game for the last minute or so who cares? The girls are super hot, and they're playing video games! I'm pretty sure that combination of hot and games pretty much is at the top of the list. Above is the video, enjoy.

DayZ: The Best Game You've Never Heard Of

If you haven't heard about it yet, you should take a look into DayZ, a free mod from the makers of Arma 2. Now, I had never heard about this game until recently when I was watching a gaming preview on YouTube, and they had mentioned that DayZ was rumored to be coming out with the PS4. Now, I'm a zombie fan for sure, Zombie mode in Call of Duty is probably the only reason I ever purchase Black Ops. Plus, there's the TV series "The Walking Dead" which most of us are glued to every Sunday night when it's in season. When I heard about this DayZ game, I wanted to know more about it, so like anyone wanting to learn about just about anything I turned to YouTube, where I got most of my answers.
DayZ is a complete 180 turn from any zombie game you've ever played. If your a fan of Black Ops zombies, and prefer that the game be futuristic with ray guns, and upgrades, then stop reading here. DayZ is the most realistic zombie game ever created, it takes time, intelligence, and a lot of luck. It's basically what it would really be like if there were a zombie apocalypse, so if this sounds interesting pay attention. DayZ is a PC only game, (which is why people are excited about the idea of it coming to PS4) it will not work on a MAC, and you will need a good graphics card in order to run the game. The game is provided by steam, just go to their website, download the steam program (it's free) and sign up for your account. You'll then need to buy Arma 2, you will also need Arma Allied Operations, but it should come as a package I believe, the DayZ mod is free, but you need Arma 2 to run the program. Arma 2 is about $25, compared to PS3 and XBOX rates, that's a steal. These downloads take quite a while, but while your doing that, you will also need DayZ Commander, (this is free as well). I don't know why, but I found that playing the game through DayZ Commander, I have way more luck getting into a server. Once the game is completed, you have to run Arma 2, and Arma Allied Operations, just to install them, then you can get into your DayZ game, it's a lot, yes I know.

Now to the game, like I said before, it's the most realistic zombie mode ever, in most games, you start with nothing more than a backpack, a can of coke, maybe a knife, a flashlight, painkillers, and a couple bandages, everything else you'll have to scavenge. Weapons, food, supplies, can be found throughout the map,(which is huge!) different places have different things. If you go to a supermarket you'll find food, military bases, crash sites, or airports usually have higher grade weapons, churches and firehouses usually have a gun or food in them, it's all completely random. If you can find a working vehicle (most are broke and need to be fixed with parts) you want to go to towns to find supplies. Try to avoid Cherno, and Electro, those are the biggest cities and then are crawling with snipers. This game really is like the Walking Dead, the other players in this game are more deadly than the zombies. Players will hide in a tower or hill near these cities and kill on sight for fun. Most servers give you a map, but until you have or find a GPS the only way of knowing your location is simple street signs. The game is so realistic, if the server was created by someone in New York, it's on New York time, when it's dark in New York, it's dark on DayZ, and I mean pitch black dark! You will need to find night vision goggles. The game is so realistic, even the stars are correct, if you know enough to navigate by stars, DayZ provides accurate star positioning, from the North Star to Orion's Belt. 

The cool, yet hard part about the game is it's a permadead game, meaning.... you die, you lose everything, all your guns, food, water, bandages, cars, everything. However, if you've had enough for the day, you find a nice spot in the woods to hide, with your car, tent, and supplies, click abort, and next time you sign in, boom! right back into the game from that spot with all your stuff. The crazy thing though is, people actually get taken hostage in this game, hoping that they don't get killed and lose all their gear, yes it happens.
This is a very interesting game, everyday I find myself getting better, the learning curve is pretty high on this game, lots on commands to remember, lots of different tricks to know, I really suggest watching YouTube to get a better understand of how to survive, how use your backpack, and everything that goes with surviving. There is just way to much to talk about with this game, (I didn't even get into talking about the helicopters you can fly) but if you have a PC, you enjoy zombies, and you have the patience to learn, die a bunch of times, then once you get the hang of it, it can be a lot of fun, especially if you get friends to play too.

Please comment and tell us your strategies for staying alive, best places to find weapons, vehicles, food, and anything else.

No Nintendo Conference at E3

According to a post on NeoGaf.com, Nintendo has announced that they will not host a Conference at E3 in Los Angeles June 11-13th. 

First, we have decided not to hold a large-scale presentation where new news is presented to a general audience from all over the world as in previous years. Instead, we are planning several smaller events for software targeted at the American market. One of these will be a closed event for distributors, and another will be a closed event for the Western press. I did not appear in last years presentation, and I do not intend to appear in these events either. Apart from these closed events, during E3, we are deliberating how to deliver game information to those at home using new methods, so we will announce further plans later. 

This comes as a big surprise as Nintendo has always been a staple at E3 Expo. While this announcement has us a bit downtrodden, we are already looking forward to the software announcements they have mentioned above. New WiiU titles are on the way and that is all that matters.

Battlefield 4 Blows our Minds

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should take a look at the new trailer for Battlefield 4, (it’ll be posted below) which is scheduled to be released sometime this Fall. If the trailer is any indication of the gameplay, then ladies and gentlemen, we are in for a good one. Battlefield has been around for quite awhile, we are all familiar with Battlefield 1942. But nothing has really been able to keep up with the Call of Duty franchise, that is, until Battlefield 3 came out. Battlefield is the first of the competitors to be able to keep up with Call of Duty because it offers so much more than COD can.  While Call of Duty offers a smoother gameplay, BF offers planes, trains, and automobiles, (ok, substitute trains for helicopter’s, tanks, and motorcycles). Once again, if you have not seen the BF4 trailer, it looks amazing, just the 17 minute trailer keeps you on the edge of your seat. One thing DICE set out to do in this next step in BF4 is make the player feel attached to the characters, and during the trailer, you can tell they nailed it right on the head, while this trailer runs, it’s intense! The Atmosphere stays in a survival feel mode, the characters are constantly in danger, constantly taking fire from enemy soldiers, and enemy helicopters. One new aspect of the game is the team based mode, while watching the trailer, you can see that when the team is being pinned down, the player can mark the enemy, then his AI teammates will provide suppressing fire, which allows you as the player, to flank the enemy to keep progressing on the mission.  When it’s all said and done, and the 17 minutes are over, you can’t help but think, “how am I supposed to wait till Fall for this?”

Not only that, but that was just 17 minutes of the campaign mode…… the real money maker for Battlefield is the intense multiplayer mode, where jets, tanks, helicopter’s, and motorcycles are constantly buzzing around the map, along with 24 players.  We didn’t even get to see this part of Battlefield from the trailer, but if I had to guess, one has to think the multiplayer mode is going to be just as tantalizing.  DICE did a very good job in it’s marketing plan to get this trailer out there, because A.) it’s amazing and B.) no one is even mentioning Call of Duty, (ohhhh yea right?) yea, if the past is any indication, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 or whatever they will be calling it, should be coming out around the same time, usually early November. But we have yet to hear anything about a new Call of Duty or even hear of a reveal trailer release date. Call of Duty is well… Call of Duty and it will sell, but if Battlefield 4 comes out around the same time, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the COD sales take a hit for Battlefield, unless COD comes out with an epic trailer of their own. Who knows where Activision will take the Call of Duty series, in MW3 the story ended, Captain Price defeated the villain and that was that, so where does it go from there? Who knows, but what we do know is that Battlefield 4 looks really impressive, and I, for one, am looking forward to Battlefield 4, and unless I’m persuaded otherwise, I don’t really have an ambition for Modern Warfare 4, which I would guess, is what most gamers are thinking right now too.
