Despite the massive landscape which spans over 60 square kilometres of rolling grasslands, murky swamps, and sprawling cities, images of the upcoming RPG epic Two Worlds II have only to date only scratched the surface of beautiful world of Antaloor…literally. Deep underground there lie cavernous mines rich with precious Veritas crystals, the ancient twisting catacombs of long forgotten cultures, and shadowy dungeons adorned with remnants of countless tortured prisoners.

Well if any of you frequent Xbox.com you would have seen the BIG HEADLINE that new Platinum Hits have been announced for the Xbox 360. I could care less if these games were given the title "Platinum Hit" i just want to get them now they cost a measly $29.99

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – January 22, 2010 – Aeria Games announced today that it has concluded its extensive Closed Beta period for Turf Battles and wiped the servers for the final time. In addition, Turf Battles has now begun a final “Beta Stress Test” phase that will lead directly into the official start of Open Beta.

Turf Battles is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) well known for its fast-paced and competitive gameplay. The title was discontinued less than two years ago by its former publisher, to the great dismay of its loyal fan base. Aeria Games soon after licensed Turf Battles and has since been working closely with the game’s new developer, SmileGate, to restore the game to glory.

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a while. This past week has been really crazy, but something did come up that MADE me jump on and talk to my peeps.

I've been battling a cold for the past two weeks. Nothing dangerous or deadly or anything like that, just an annoying ass head cold that has just been in my way. I've been working on trying to produce a personal podcast, known as the T-90 Blogcast. Catchy right? I know, thats why I picked it.

Anyways, I chose the words "trying to produce" for a reason. It's not working. I have been trying to find a co-host to do the show with me, and to no avail. It's kind of a disappointment to only have one person talking about gaming and stuff. This kind of content really needs a discussion/argument between two like-minded individuals aka two uber nerds need to geek it up.

SO, what it all boils down to is that I am still working on putting out a podcast, and STILL looking for a co-host. If you happen to think you have what it takes, drop me a line with some background info on yourself and I'll let you know whats up.

I am going to be putting out a cast asking for a co-host so you can hear my voice and get a feel to see if you could match up well and crap like that.

You can send me an email at:

tdfpatriots@gmail.com

I'm going to need your name, location, any relevant experience with gaming/tech, and either your screen name for AIM or MSN messenger.

Thats all from me today

Catch ya lata

Well, my first "Ughhh" post was about me being sick, and guess what, I still am, sort of.

I'm sick in a different way. Today I am sick to my stomach, after watching my favorite football team, the New England Patriots drop a disappointing playoff game to the Baltimore Ravens. For those who aren't aware, I have been a Patriots fan for as long as I have been on this earth....

For those of you who aren’t aware, “Across Age” is the first Action-RPG to be released on the Apple App Store with Japanese backgrounds, and because of this the game has drawn comparisons to the breakthrough series “Zelda”. FDG Entertainment has released a brand new trailer along with new details about the highly anticipated game for the iPhone/iPod Touch...

I’m not sure if anyone out there is going to agree with what I’m about to say, but I need to get this out in the open. I love World of Warcraft. It’s a fantastic MMORPG, possibly the greatest one ever to be made, yet I can’t play it. I physically cannot sit there in front of my computer and play it for more than 2-3 hours. Now to many of you out there, 2-3 hours playing a game may seem like a lot, but to WoW players, its chump change. 3 Hours is a starter for most WoW gamers out there, and I wish I could be one of them.

Earlier today, Microsoft leaked information about its Consumer Electronics Show in 2010, including an interview with the president of Entertainment and Devices President Robbie Bach. The video was posted for a short time on Microsoft’s Channel 9 until it was quickly taken down, as if it was posted by mistake.

In the interview, Robbie Bach discussed several highlights coming this upcoming year to Xbox live and the 360 console. One that he discussed was the idea of a Game Room, in which people will have the ability to play retro-themed games.

If you are the type of gamer who likes to buy cheap older games to play online, you better start playing as much as you can, because when February 2010 comes rolling around, time’s up.

According to EA and GameInformer.com, a list of older EA titles has been compiled and designated for online death. The list contains some popular titles as well as some that nobody even knew existed.

For your sake, here’s a list of games losing online abilities as of February 2nd, 2010:

Facebreaker for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
Fantasy Football 09 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
FIFA 07 for PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2

Ughhhh, being sick sucks.

This isn't a game-related post, but I felt it was worthy to talk about, you know, since its that time of year...

Been sick for 3 or 4 days now, and it's the annoying sick. You guys know what I'm talking about, can't breathe through your nose, sneezing every 3 seconds, and coughing up a lung. Sometimes I wish id have an actual sickness so I can take some hard core antibiotic and be gone with this demon, but alas, the common cold strikes again...

Been sitting around all day doing nothing, just researching some possible story ideas and possibly entertaining the idea of a *cough* podcast *cough*, don't tell I'm I told ya...

But yea, just been hanging around playing some MW2 (Modern Warfare 2) and Civ 4 (Sid), oh, and going old school and playing some Risk! Gotta love going retro.

Anyways, as I'm trying to get healthy, I'll keep ya updated on some things goin on, be sure to check out my stuff.

As most of you know, Tiger Woods has had some off the field issues these past few months, and has continually being dropped from a variety of sponsorships, EA Sports has not been one of them. The perennial sports-gaming powerhouse has been thriving off of several sports franchises, one being Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and this hasn’t changed.

The month of January is usually the start of a sloooowwwww stretch of time for video games, and it sucks.

But hold your horses everybody, NOT THIS YEAR.

January 2010 is turning out to be one HELL of a gaming month. What a way to kick off the year. I'm just going to give a brief rundown of a few games that will be appearing on the shelves within the next 20-25 days, along with my take.

- Bayonetta (Jan 5th): This game is getting rave reviews from all over including a 9.0 out of 10 from gametrailers.com and a 9.0 out of 10 from all-mighty Game Informer. I however, am not sold. I haven't had a chance to actually play the game, but from trailers and descriptions, It just doesn't do anything for me, I mean, I'm not into a break-dancing female model who dodges bullets. Actually, now that I think about it...NO cannot get sidetracked, I am not into Bayonetta, I give it a Thumbs Down.
