The Madden Plan
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010Every review I’ve seen for Madden 11 mentions that “if you haven’t picked up Madden in a few years, this is the year to do it.” Honestly, the reviewers say that every year, like it’s the qualifier that makes the glacial pace of Madden’s evolution ok. You know what? I did pick up Madden last year. It was fine. In fact, I spent some time totally obsessed with it, as our fourth podcast demonstrated. When I want some computer football action, I throw the disc in and play my Niners franchise through a few more games and have a high old time.
I think I’m gonna pass.

Bioshock Ad Infinitum
Friday, August 13th, 2010Irrational Games has released what amounts to a very full-featured cinematic trailer for the fifth game in their loosely-related series of Shock games:
Is it just me, or does this seem a bit… conservative? As always, no judgments are laid upon a mere trailer, but a lot of the thematic elements in this clip – the elitist exclusive society, the nigh-magical city hidden from the common world via fantastic technology, a hulking mechanical monster, the young girl in need of rescue, the haunting sensation we get from a dangerous place redolent of naiive American protoculture – seem terribly familiar. I’m willing to cop that these are themes that have been explored in pop literature for some time. Still, I would have been more excited to see the creative folks at Irrational pop out something that suggested a bit more reach outside of their comfort zone.

Team Forty K

The Techpriest/Engineer is probably my favorite, although the HB Devastator Heavy is pretty cool.
To be honest, though, this video really just makes me want to go watch that Space Marine trailer again.
