DLC - August 28th

It's Thursday, and there's a lot to play, a lot to download, all while I'm trying to watch the Obama's acceptance speech like I know Ren's doing right now. I actually have to say I hope he's able to watch this with his family, but enough of the politics. It's game time! Hit the links foo'!

Add-Ons
It's Warhawk week as far as I'm concerned. Warhawk v1.50 released yesterday to add in new features, resolve a few issues, and the love of Trophies. I downloaded it yesterday and got right to work Trophy whoring because.... well I'm a Trophy Whore.

Warhawk Fallen Star Pack introduces jetpacks, and a new giant map that cuts up nicely into 30 separate map configurations. From where I'm standing this is pure win. As I look at Trophies named Vengeance where you kill the last person to kill you in less than 60 seconds. Or Hit List where you kill every member of the opposing team. Another one I really like is That Was Some Bug where you kill an enemy flying a jetpack with any vehicle or aircraft. They did a great job of thinking up these Trophies.

Now, for those of you who are Warhawk faithful, and haven't bought any of the expansions for Warhawk, now is the time. For a cool $16 you can get ALL THREE Warhawk expansions. Operation: Omega Dawn, Operation: Broken Mirror, and the newly released Operation: Fallen Star. Each expansion brought with it a new vehicle like drop ships, APC, and now jetpacks. The former two did a great job at changing game play for the better and I anticipate jetpacks to live up to that. So please, no matter your rank go get the Warhawk Booster Combo. You can thank me later.

Rock Band Thursdays rocks out to 4 new tracks at 99 pennies, and a bundle pack for $2.99. I still imagine some fledling musician filling up their PS3 HDD to it's bursting seems with new Rock Band downloadable songs.

Demos
Two demos today, neither of which I will play tonight. I'm not looking forward to the NHL 09 demo as last years made me angry nearly instantly. They tried to use the controls a little too much and it just frustrated me. Playing the NBA 2K9 demo was so much more enjoyable than last years EA showing. I'll play it eventually or rather make my sister play it. I am looking forward to the SCIV demo but with Warhawk and The Last Guy to play it's on the back burner..... on the back up stove.

Games
The The Last Guy has everything born of a crappy downloadable game and manages to shine forth like a beacon of hope and amazing. Somebody described it as Zombies meets Google Maps, and it's perfect. My sister and I combined have probably played the demo that released last Thursday at least 75 times. Each time trying to beat our last high score as well as each other's. (Sad to say she's currently winning with just over 1100 people saved, beating me by roughly 100 people.) The music is horribly annoying and catchy and awesome. The simple idea of the game still manages to be challenging as you avoid zombies all while cursing at them to get the hell out of the way. This game has a lot of potential to grow and expand on top of it. Today's game releases with 15 maps, but there are a lot of cities in the world, so I seriously hope we see a new "map pack" for The Last Guy in a few months that adds another 5 to 10 cities. How awesome would it be to be The Last Guy in a city near you, or your very own city! The Last Guy Detroit! No comment.

Videos
Lots of videos tonight and no time to watch them, now that is. I'll download and watch all of them except that stupid Prom Night trailer. I still can't believe that received a green light.

Themes
No PS3 themes today, but if you're hurting for some themes head over to www.ps3-themes.com and check out the tons of themes they have. Please keep in mind some of the themes are more adult oriented so if you find yourself in trouble for viewing some of the themes you have been warned!

We did receive one PSP theme, but honestly. With a name like Cake Mania: Baker’s Challenge theme I'm pretty sure I can pass on it. On top of being lazy and going and finding where next to my bed my PSP went, I'm pretty sure I can personally live with out this one.

2 The Last Guy Wallpapers, one of which makes an awesome background for a number of themes I downloaded from PS3-Themes.com.

Well it's just now midnight and I have a lot of gaming to get done. So time to get a snack to refuel and start going nuts with the jetpack and The Last Guy! Good night, and good gaming! (Yes I did just use that corny line. My bad.)
