Brink is Around the Corner - Pick up Your Pre-Order Bonus!



  Brink is right around the corner. If you're not familiar with Brink, I like to consider it a Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, and MAG hybrid. The story takes place with the oceans rising quickly, and the only safe haven is the Ark, a man made island. Factions must fight for survival. With its quick SMART system movements, your blood will be pumping. Pre-order now to get these bonuses before the release date sneaks up on you! With a release date of May 10th, you should pre-order as soon as possible.

  If you pre-order at GameStop, you'll get some awesome bonuses. They call it the "Doom Pack." The following is according to GameStop's website:

• Unique "Hellspawn" body tattoo
• Exclusive UAC (Security) and Cacodemon (Resistance) customized skins for the Bulpdaun SMG
• Exclusive UAC Marine Body Armor (Security) and Lost Soul Screaming Skull (Resistance) t-shirts, exclusive UAC beanie cap (Security) and DOOM bandana (Resistance)

  If you pre-order at Best Buy, you'll recieve the Fallout Pack. This is based off the popular Fallout series. Not wearing shirts is pretty cool to these folks. This is according to Best Buy:

• Unique Fallout Vault 101 body tattoo
• Exclusive Vault 101 (Security) and Fallout New Vegas Vault Boy (Resistance) customized skins for the CARB-9 SMG
• Exclusive Fallout Vault 101 (Security) and Fallout New Vegas Vault Boy (Resistance) T-shirts
• Exclusive Vault-Tec beanie cap (Security) and Fallout bandana (Resistance)

 

  At Walmart, you can get the coolest looking, in my opinion, gear. The Spec Ops Pack. According to Walmart, you can get:

• Exclusive weapon: the Hockler Machine-Pistol
• Exclusive GreenEye Combat Optical Scope
• Exclusive Security Sloani Combat Mask
• Unique Dogtag body tattoo

Remember, release date is May 10th 2011!

Portal 2 on Amazon for $34.99

  The buzz around the web is all about Portal 2. This is a great deal that Amazon is offering. I have not had a chance to play this game myself, but as far as the reviews and gameplay videos go, it looks like a great game. Amazon always seems to have deluxe deals on the newer video games, and if you don't have this intriguing scientific shooter, like me, now is the time to get it. I may have to take control of this opportunity.

Dust 514 Cross Platform Play

   You're probably like many people in saying, "What the heck is Dust 514?" To put it bluntly, Dust 514 is a First Person Shooter going where no MMO has gone before. Do you have a Playstation 3 but all of your friends have an Xbox 360, or vice versa? Here's your chance to play with them. Dust 514 is a spin off of Crowd Control Production's (CCP) EVE Online. What's that? EVE Online is an MMORPG that involves you, a bunch of factions to join, and the endless wonders of outer space.

  So what is the big deal about Dust 514? Dust 514 will be a three way platform play - PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. While the PC users are high in space in their decked-out ships and whatnot, they are commanding the ground troops and providing air support. That is where the PS3 and Xbox 360 users come in. These two groups of people will be the soldiers on foot, battling it out.

Check out the trailer!



  Go to EVE Online's website with the link in the first paragraph, or go to Dust 514's website for more information on this awesome looking MMORPG!

Hirai Addressing PSN Breach at 1 A.M. EDT

Deputy President Hirai looking jolly.

  

  Deputy President of Sony, Kazuo Hirai, will be addressing the public at 2 PM tomorrow (1 A.M. EDT). Thanks to Reuters for posting this information. This event may have been sparked by the fact that Sony is being sued in several cases.

  Not only is the PSN intrusion caught the attention of the executives of Sony, as it should, it has caught the attention of the U.S. Government. The FBI has now been investigating this "external intrusion."

Playstation Conducting Q&As

Playstation's Homepage is cluttered with Q&A Services

  Unless you've been living under a rock, you would realize that the Playstation Network has been undergoing maintenance for the last week Why? It is understood that hackers, some believe to be a group called "Anonymous," (classic name) have hacked the Playstation Network. Consequently, Playstation has shut down the PSN to further investigate the "external intrusion."

  In that note, Sony has conducted, as of now, two Q&As to inform the Qriocity and Playstation users of the good and bad. 

  Most importantly, no data will be lost; friends list, downloads, save cloud, etc. And Sony has also announced that there is so evidence that credit card numbers have been obtained, but it could be possible. Be on the look out of any strange activity in your credit card account. 

  You can read the both of the Q&As here http://bit.ly/mItNZe and here http://bit.ly/kik7DC.
