League of Gaming Continues in Video Game Industry

If you've followed competitive gaming at all, then you've heard of MLG. Major League Gaming has been around since 2002 fighting tooth and nail for the legitimacy of competitive gaming. The uphill battle of bringing competitive gaming to the mainstream has since been won.

It was announced a few weeks back that MLG has raised over $50 million dollars in funding. For a company that's been around for only 8 years, that's quite an achievement. According to MLG's own research they reach over 4.5 million users a month with over 600,000 unique

Nintendo Game only Half Done

At E3 2010, announcements of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had critics and gamers alike swooning over the newest installment in the popular franchise. According to sources then, the game would not take an extraordinarily long time to finish and would arrive fairly soon. It was stated then that production was running smoothly and it could be expected shortly.

However, Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendos head honcho, recently stated Skyward Sword was over half complete, leading people to believe that it wont be coming as soon as hoped. Miyamoto said nothing further on the subject, a total shock compared to all of the messages of the past several months, and especially statements from July 2010 saying Skyward Sword would be released in early 2011. Furthermore, Miyamoto said the game was in the final stages at E3, with a few more dungeons and final touches to add, but apparently, what pushed it back was a new graphical style that will be more colorful

Gamer News - Don't do what this man did.

As read here:(the story of the real life frogger), a man in Clemson, South Carolina thought it was a good idea at the time to play a real life version of Frogger. He was wrong...but at least he came out alive.

The local authorities say that the man was playing the real life game in the late evening and had arrived at the hospital around 9 p.m. after he was struck by an SUV (this is where you'd insert the sound effect) while trying to cross the road.

Gears of War Game Bundle

2011 might be Gears of War's best year. A few months back Microsoft and Epic mentioned publicly that Gears of War 3 had been delayed, not out of necessity, but for marketing reasons. Microsoft wanted to give Gears of War 3 the Fall season of 2011 to push the franchise forward as well as to give the game additional time in the oven.

A win win for everyone.

Well the marketing blitz for Gears of War has begun. Early adopters of Bulletstorm have already been promised

When Gears of War 3 got pushed back, most of the office was pretty bummed out about it, but we're excited to hear that the game Bulletstorm will include early access to the Gears of War 3 Beta.

Aesthetically, Bulletstorm looks awesome. The color palette shown throughout the trailers doesn't show a gritty looking shooter with dull browns and grays nor cartoon like greens and purples, but has it's own unique look that confidently displays a sci-fi looking world with fluorescent blues and orange. Bulletstorm's unique and untested look could be why the Gears of War 3 beta is being included.
