Battlefield: Heroes

Battlefield what? Isn't that that lame Team Fortress 2 Knock-off? Uh, no it's the most incredible and coolest game so far this year. And it has the music to go with it! A lot can be said (silently, I'm using a metaphor here) for the next installment of the Battlefield series, and probably it's popularity is on the list of what can be said. Right in between "Amazingly Awesome" and "Free". Still with me? Yeah, it's 100 % FREE. Go to their site, click the big button that says "Play Now" (it's yellow, bye the way) and let it download, then play. Yeah. But it's not out yet, so no big yellow button for me just yet. The beta is coming up I hear, so I'm gonna be in that if it's the last thing I do.

Still wondering what's so insanely cool about this game? Well, first of all, it's got that awesome cartoon style, (it IS a "cartoon shooter) it's all about balance and crazy things like 5 minute fire fights, you can sit on the wings of airplanes and blow yourself across the map with dynamite. *breath* This game is the most insane thing ever! Nothing is lethal, everything takes time to kill someone, this adds another layer of accessibility, and you can customize your character's everything! Well, everything appropriate anyway. I can't say anymore as I haven't even scratched the surface of this game, but I am giving you a video of it.

Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise

It has been officially announced this morning that Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise is real! Wow! And it's got nothing to to with trouble in paradise (as I understand anyways) but has lots to do with awesomeness. It has a crapload of new features, including two new enviroments, (Dessert Desert, Pinarctic) and a whopping 32 new pet thingys. It also includes this crazy cool new feature, that I don't quite understand yet, but what got out of it was: You can take pictures of animals or trees or weather and put them on some kind of cards that also work on iPods and Zunes(?) and then you can put them into your game and it makes them.....real. Yeah. You tell me.

Another cool thing is that nothing is unlock able. Everything is already unlocked. I don't know how that is going to work, but that sounds good to me. Not to steal a quote or something, but Viva Pinata 2 sounds just like the Viva Pinata Special Edition. It's getting a second chance to be great! The only bad thing is that it probably won't come out on PC for a long while, if at all. I guess I'll just stick with my cool PC games.

In other news, somebody has to convince Zaputh that he's missing a ton of games on the 360. We couldn't name of any when we thought about it, so a true console gamer needs to bust in and tell us that we are wrong and that we rock too. Yay.


UPDATE: Yes, it IS coming out for PC simultaneously as the 360 and (?) PS3 (?) versions of the game. As you can imagine, I am uber exited for this game. There is an awesome article about things we learn from gaming at 1Up.com. Read it right now. (no link 'cause I found out it was illegal to link to Ziff Davis Media Publishing Corp. content with some other...stuff...or something.....?

Bye for now-Loshon
