E3 09: Shadow Complex footage from the Microsoft conference

A lot of amazing things were shown yesterday at the Microsoft conference, and adding to that long list of snazzy new things is footage for the Xbox Live title:Shadow Complex. Made by Epic Games, the footage of their title looks to be pretty promising. One of the first things that you can notice about the title is the fact that it looks like a cross betweenSuper MetroidandBionicCommado: Rearmed. Being a person who still wishes that Nintendo would get off their asses and make an updated 2D-esque version ofMetroid, I’ll take the next best thing if it’s out there....

GOG has some more EA games that don’t require Origin

I don’t know if they are worth buying, though I honestly had no clue that a lot of more recent EA titles were available at GOG.com. I’ve kind of sworn off of the publisher ever since it created Origin, but having its titles in a DRM-free manner could persuade me to pick up some older “classics.” Then again,Crysis,Crysis: Warhead, andMedal of Honor: Pacific Assaultaren’t really worth much. I still have my DVD for the “Director’s Edition” ofPacific Assault, a game which nearly killed theMedal of Honorfranchise....

Here are most of Amazon’s Black Friday videogame deals, all in one place

But the stores are so much more fun Without exaggeration, Black Friday’s sincerely my favorite day of the year. That said, it might surprise you to find out that I rarely buy anything on the single busiest shopping day. I love it because I’m a people watcher. When else can you see two middle-aged women ready to shank each other over moderate savings on laundry detergent? My Black Friday excursions aren’t about fighting crowds; they’re about blending into crowds....
