Evil Ambassador Copiozo on: F.E.A.R. 3
The heavily influenced by Japanese horror movies FPS game is back thanks to WB Games. And while it is under design by a new studio called Day 1 Studios, they claim to be working closely with the game's original developers of the first F.E.A.R. game, Monolith. With this much backing and work being done on the game, it's probably no question that F.E.A.R. 3 will be a horror-fps game that will make you jump in fright (before retaliating with your arsenal of weapons).
Plotwise the game seems pretty well done since the game's story and

Time Magazine-Gamestop Promotion under stress of its reception
While TIME magazine doesn't seem to be the magazine for gamers (I'm more a US News & World Report person myself), the magazine is getting some news from its Gamestop poster/promotion which I talked about back in mid-May. While it seems like it is getting some attention, some of it not what Activision wanted.
According to the New York Times, TIME magazine supported the art direction of the promo and also approved of Activision's

Microsoft announces the Kinect will support the Halo Classic
While Microsoft is keeping a tight lip on the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved (which is to be released later on this year on November 15, 2011), they did drop a bit of news as the Halo anniversary remake will have Kinect Support. The Vice President of Microsoft's (Phil Spencer) told sources that the Kinect will be important to all genres of games from racing games (like Forza) to combat games (like the Halo Anniversary remake). That being said, we have an idea that all games

A Screen cap of an Xbox.commishapreveals that Halo 4 is a confirmed upcoming release for the Xbox 360, and we couldnt be more excited. It marks another installment in the already excellent track record of the Halo series. This is the news that millions of gamers have been waiting for, and it is sure to create a buzz throughout the gaming world. The Halo series has been a consistent part of the Xbox community, and with the pending release of Halo 4, the series proves to continue its solid footing. Halo 3, Halo ODST, and Halo Reach introduced new game-play types and new character classes, which launched the titles forward above their competitors, and we expect the same level of progression with the release of Halo 4. With the leak of the upcoming Halo 4 release, one must wonder as to the specifics surrounding the game.
The release of Halo 4 imminent debut

Evil Ambassador Copiozo's thoughts on LA Noire.
LA Noire takes you back to 1947 Los Angeles, the second War has ended and you're Cole Phelps, a new cop with a decorated war record trying to right the wrongs of his past and then-present time LA. He starts out from the bottom and work his way to the top.
This is not your typical Rockstar game. And frankly, I love that. A breath of fresh air of stealing cars and running over pedestrians to make a faster path to whatever GTA-esque crime event you have to do. Being a boy in blue means you have to behave well. So that means

Evil Controller's Youngest Customer
Being that Evil Controllers is a company that relies mostly on Internet sales it is rare that we get to have face-to-face interaction with our clients! But every so often we get a local resident who drops by the Evil Laboratory, and our most recent customer was quite a surprise.
It is often perceived that the majority of our customers are above the age of 18, due to some of the most popular FPS games being for those who are 18 years old or above. However, there are always exceptions for that rule. If a parent or guardian approves the game for their child to play, a child of any age can be sitting behind an Xbox controller sniping their competition! So since I had perceived that the majority of our customers were above the age of 18 I was shocked when I met Vince, who could possibly be Evil Controllers youngest fan!

Modern Warfare 3 promotional news sends chilling forecast of game's setting.
There is some creative yet chilling marketing by Activision on promoting Modern Warfare 3(can be seen here). When you preorder the game at Gamestop you receive a two sided poster where one side is the game's logo and the other is a mock up TIME magazine front cover depicting New York at the time of Modern Warfare 3.
