You Beta play some Blur

In other beta related news, while you guys were probably hungover all day, I worked like a busy worker bee to uncover a limited exclusive free offer of inconceivable worth to enter the “Blur” beta on Xbox 360. For free. Since your head is still probably a little mushy, I’ll give you a step-by-step rundown of how this is going to work:

  1. Cut a hole in a box
  2. Register for a free one month trial to IGN’s Founder Club membership. You will need a credit card, and it might show up as a charge of 0 dollars. I am kidding, no one charges you 0 dollars, but I was not kidding about the credit card part.
  3. Put your junk in that box
  4. Sign up for the “top secret” beta on fileplanet.

The whole ordeal requires less than 5 minutes of your time, and I don’t think I can stress enough how awesome “Blur” is. Do it for the children.

Also, the “Blur” website finally has a section where you can download a picture of a (or multiple) hot chick(s) and use it as your desktop background. Not exactly my thing but I thought I’d let you know.

You can now play some Starcraft II Beta

Some dudes have released a crack so you can play some “StarCraft II” against AI without actually being in the beta.
For us non-beta-participants, it’s probably as good as it gets, so I suggest you take it, even though the AI is reportedly a little too easy. Or, as I like to call it, “just right”.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 all trailered up

As promised earlier, here’s the trailer for “Super Mario Galaxy”, fresh from Nintendo’s american Game Summit.
Let’s be honest here, if this does not look fantastic to you, you’re dead inside. It has Yoshi for crying out loud — whose tongue seems to be controlled with the Wii-Remote’s pointer.

Trailer is after the break. It’s a bit sad I still have to tell you these things after all these years. continue reading →

Update: Metroid and Mario get dated

Original Story: Kotaku Australia is reporting that we will likely see Nintendo’s first two heavy hitters of the year, namely “Metroid Other M” and “Super Mario Galaxy” earlier than we had initially thought, the publisher pinning the release-date to a “Mid Year” release window.
How does that make you feel?

Update:
“Super Mario Galaxy 2″ is coming to the US on May 23rd, “Metroid Other M” is scheduled for June 27th. “Galaxy 2″ trailer coming up later today.

Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is out this week

If you are lusting for more “Borderlands”, this is your lucky day. Owners of the Xbox 360 version of the game will be able to download the new content, titled “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx” — what are you; some kind of Sherlock Holmes for knowing this already? — Playstation 3 owners will have to wait until Thursday. That’s right, ladies night. 10 bucks will get you in.

PC version you ask? Uh… awkward. I have no idea.

The add-on includes a whole new area for you to explore, as well as a new vehicle, new weapons and, finally, a raised level cap: You can now turn it up all the way to 61. #spinaltapreferencefail #twittertaginblogpostfail

Halo: Reach has significantly more ‘p’ than Halo 3 [0]

Halo: Reach has significantly more ‘p’ than Halo 3

Digital Foundry has taken a good look at that “Halo: Reach” ViDoc released a week ago, revealing what seems to be the resolution of the game’s current iteration: 1152×720, without any anti-aliasing.

“Halo 3″ as well as “Halo 3: ODST” sported the oft-critized resolution of 1152×640, which means that not only is “Reach” displaying 4 times the polygons, the image quality is also much improved.

Personally, I don’t assume this is going to change until the Beta drops in May — we’ll keep you posted. I do have a rather hard time sitting still just thinking about that.
