3DS Video Review Extravaganza!

As many of you will know I have been anticipating the 3DS launch for a few months. The fact that we Europeans get it a whole two days before you unlucky Americans meant we at GeeksFTW have taken the opportunity to have a somewhat casual video review of it before the American release. I will be covering the 3DS a lot this weekend so that any of you who are still on the fence about it can get some more info.

Please enjoy the video (Sorry about my cold) and let me know if there is anything else you’d like me to cover about the 3DS.

Side Note: Despite what I say in the video about the 3D being “gimmicky” it is actually very good. I’ve had more time with it since then and it really does add to the game. At least in Street Fighter anyway.

Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Until June 14

Did anyone really expect a game like Duke Nukem Forever to ship when people said it would? Not that I wasn’t hoping it would, but it always just seemed…right that DNF should be delayed one last time. Gearbox has pushed the decade-in-the-making game back a month and a half from its original May 3rd release date for a currently unknown reason. However, I’d have to imagine that it’s fairly significant. Gearbox has seemed very intent on making this date. However, they’ve put out a video to tide you over until the game launches. Oddest to me about this is that the international release date is now 4 days prior to the North American launch, as opposed to the original plan to go international 3 days afterwards. I’m a tad disappointed that DNF won’t be launching on my birthday, but c’est la vie. I can wait a month and a half more.

New Captain America Trailer

Yes, you heard right. The first full-length trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger has been released by Marvel, and I’ve gotta say that it’s looking mighty slick. Aside from that 30-second Superbowl spot, there hasn’t been a whole lot of actual footage, just a bunch of stills from the set. But tonight, the first theatrical trailer has been released on Youtube for all the world to see. Hit the jump for the video and my impressions.

The Age of Dragons Have Indeed Begun

"You will die for what you did to Mother"

Dragon Age 2 took what was good about the first one and threw it away and made some things much better but a so took some of the mundane out. For instance, the new leveling up system is way faster and easier to use. If you like getting into numbers and theorycrafting that is still there, while letting to people who don’t, like it just the same. One of the biggest things missing was a deeper backstory for all the companions. In Origins there was the camp that the player visited after every mission where he/she could learn almost the entire life’s story of the companions, sadly this was lacking in Dragon Age 2. There were the occasional side missions that lead into dialog with the companions but not as much as some would have liked. The gift giving system was almost completely removed. Only one gift could be given to a companion and that certain gift was sometimes really hard to find, if found at all.

What’s behind the dislike of Wesley Crusher?

Wesley Crusher. A character loved by many and loathed by equally as many. Many of my friends from the time I fell in love with ST:TNG in the sixth grade through today love Wesley.  Me? I fall in with the latter group (though even I’ll admit that Wil Wheaton is a pretty cool guy and grew up to be kinda hot). And yet I often wonder, why do folks like me hate the character of Wesley so much?

Mass Effect 2: Get ready for “Arrival” March 29th
