Over last weekend the guys made there way out to California Extreme. This is one of the biggest annual “arcade game and pinball celebration” events around. It sounds like the guys had a good time playing some classic games. You’ll have to wait until next year if you missed it, but it sounds well-worth the admission price.
Ryan and Vinny are doing a multi-part look at The Matrix Online. It has been 4+ years since its release, and boy does it show. This was probably never an amazing game and now it pretty abysmal, but that is precisely the reason this feature is so amazing. Go watch it now!
The Command & Conquer 4 announcement continues to elicit ambivalence. The news of a Mechwarrior reboot has the guys a little more excited though. It could be cool to see a technical mech game using today’s technology. The Bioshock 2 delay puts the game in a weird place. With many skeptical about the game from the outset, the news of a 4th studio being added to aid in development and a delay are not doing it any favors.
