Bayonetta is open for business…

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

What’s hot, sexy, half naked, available today and NOT for the PC?


BAYONETTA

This looks promising, but too bad I will not spend any money on it. PC gamers will have to rely on Modern Warfare 2 to full their empty graphic stomachs! Yes folks, this is one of the first decent releases of 2010. Yes, we can expect more!

CRYSIS WARS

What’s the best way to try and get more gamers into your product? Offer it for free, for a limited time only! Another way is to lower the price, but the limited time freeware along with a lot of map packs is a good way to get people to buy in. The CRYTEK team is offering Crysis WARS, the multiplayer internet version of Crysis WARHEAD for FREE from December 19th, 2009 to December 29th, 2009. Here are the details of the AD:

Introduction
We’re pleased to be able to invite you to the Crysis Wars Holiday Trial period taking place from Saturday, December 19th to Tuesday, December 29! All you need to do is be a registered member of MyCrysis in order to receive all the information you’ll need to take part, there’s still plenty of time to sign up so make sure you don’t miss out!

  • If you already own and play Crysis Wars, this period will be a fantastic opportunity for you to meet new players and make new friends.
  • If you don’t own Crysis Wars, this is a unique occasion for you to download the FULL game with its 3 game modes and 21 maps. As soon as your download is over, you will be able to play on LAN with your friends for free. Once the trial period commences, you will receive a unique CDKey so that you can play online for free until December 29th!

Where to download:
You simply go to one of these download sites and download Crysis Wars:
http://www.bigdownload.com
http://www.fileshack.com

How does it Work?
You will be able to download the complete Crysis Wars game, and install it on your computer for free. From then on, you will be able to play on LAN with your friends, without any time limitation. This is the best opportunity to check the gameplay, adjust the settings to your fitting (from best performance to best visuals), and train with your friends on LAN, in preparation for the online weekend.
You will not be able to connect online during this time.

On Saturday December 19th, a new mail will be sent to you with the link to a MyCrysis page where you will be able to retrieve your unique demo CDKey for the trial period. This demo CDKey will only be valid for your MyCrysis account, and will allow you to play online for the whole ten days.

Note, Good luck on finding this Robot fighter in stores. It’s MSRP is around $29.99 USD and you may only find it on WiiWare/Wii Shopping channel. If you are interested, purchase and download it to your Wii, it’s only 800 points (equiv. around 8 or 9 USD). Also, seems like a rip off to the early 90’s version of the Robot fighter with 2 sticks…

G.I.JOE

THE RISE OF COBRA


You are a G.I.JOE and the team is counting on you to lead the counter attack against Cobra. Too bad it will not be developed for the PC and utilize the Crytek or Dunia engine. It’s based on their own that will get the job done; but it’s not to graphically pleasing. Man this could have been a killer title with 3 or 4 video cards in SLI, with DirectX 10.1. Fortunately, not everyone cares about how good a game looks :-}
