A Spore Nerd Corner

I'm a Tomb Raider fan from way back when. So when I heard they were rebooting the series I got kinda worried. But after watching all the new vids online and seeing the screen shots I can't wait to dive back into Laura Crofts world. One thing that's been floating around the net is the question will Tomb Raider have multiplayer? Well we finally know. Today Crystal Dynamics Global Brand Director Karl Stewart Twitted "Ok, So after all the speculation..yes it's true. oxmonline.com/our-next-issue...check out @oxm for all the info on @tombraider's new multiplayer." I'm not exactly sure how a multiplayer option is going to work for a game like Tomb Raider, but it's no good to start judging things before we get a chance to play. The rest of the game, from what we've seen so far looks amazing.

Hey everybody, hope you had a great Christmas or what ever you celebrate. For those of us who have been waiting for the PvP content for Diablo 3, we're in for surprise... OK not so much. They've pushed it back......... again. PvP was part of the content that was supposed to come with the launch of Diablo 3, but Blizzard said it came with too many bugs and they didn't want to give the consumer something that isn't any good. I can go for that, I don't want to play something that doesn't work. Now however the PvP has been pushed back again because of a lack of depth. Game director Jay Wilson posted on the Diablo 3 site that "team deathmatch has been indefinitely tabled." "For us it comes to a few issues, one of which is depth.  Simply fighting each other with no other objectives or choices to make gets old relatively quickly.  We've brought a lot of people in to try out Team Deathmatch and, while some found it entertaining, most of our

WoW addicts rejoice! wowhead.com has published 5.2 patch notes that are up on the public test realm. So what can we get excited for? Well i'm not going to list everything if you want to know a full list go here . Some of the neater stuff I noticed goes as follows. First a new raid will be opening up, Throne of Thunder. Also rogues will get 3 new abilities, along with monks getting two more. Their will be 3 more mounts to collect along with another 3 more companions. Heirloom gear will now be good until level 85, although I think heirloom gear takes away from the fun of the game. Some of the glyphs will be reworked. The last big thing I saw was the slick new Tier 15 armor, something you really should take a look at. Of course this is all just up on the PTR and nothing is set in stone. Really like the new caster armors, but the new paladin armor doesn't look as good.

Gearbox has done a great job so far giving us new content for Borderlands 2 with their third DLC, Sir Hammerlocks Big Game Hunt on it's way. With the super popularity of the last 2k has said that it wants  to keep supporting more new content to keep the fans happy.  2K has also confirmed that they will be raising the level cap from 50 in the beginning of the first quarter of next year. Past DLC have included Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, the Mechromancer pack, Creature Slaughterdome, and Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's booty. All of which are available on Steam and worth picking up. At least I've enjoyed them a ton. The Mechromancer being my favorite character so far. I'm looking forward to any other new character classes they might think up.

Yup, another mmo has decided to loose it's subscription fee. In an attempt to get people to play, The Lost World has decided to loose the sub fee and instead make it a one time price of $30 and you'll be able to get additional content by paying a small fee. Funcoms other mmo, Conan, has also recently removed it's sub fees. The secret world takes place in the present world where you join one of three factions to fight the war against the secret world. That secret world being supernatural beings that threaten human kind. Threw the game you will not only kill supernatural monsters but also investigate conspiracy theories and myths putting the player in a deep and interesting story. The Metasscore for The Secret World is 73 out of  100 and the user score is 8.2 out of 10. You can download The Secret World on Steam for $29.99.

The first DLC for ID's fps Rage has been released today. It's going to cost you about $5. While the DLC doesn't fix any problems that Rage had it does give us a new gun, more places to explore, a new ultra-nightmare mode and a new clan of of bandits, The Scorchers. If you enjoyed Rage when you did play it, I think it's worth picking up. If you weren't a fan of the game to begin with this isn't going give it some new redeeming qualities.

Well it's been awhile since we heard anything at all about id's first person shooter Rage came to us but they've finally decided to give us some new content.  It's going to include six new areas, The Scorchers (a new evil gang), new Mutant Bash TV, more mini-games and new gun, the Nailgun. It should be available for $5 or 400 microsoft points. Rage came out in the U.S. in October of 2011 to mediocre reviews. While I enjoyed the game as a whole the ending, which I'll try not to spoil, felt like it didn't actually conclude anything.  It almost felt like we were supposed to have a whole next section to the game. I always figured the first DLC would give us a better ending but not so much. This DLC does give me a bit of hope though, it shows us that they still are thinking about their game and who knows they might actually listen to their fans and finish it.  The DLC should be available next week.

I wasn't to excited about the new Lone Ranger until about two seconds ago. A new trailer for the movie has been released and you can go here to see it. Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer have gotten together with Disney and the same group that gave us the Pirates of Caribbean movies to give us The Lone Ranger.  The story brings us The Long Ranger, a ranger that comes back from the dead being a spirit walker. He now rides the west for justice with his trusty sidekick, an American Indian, Tonto. OK I as soon as I said back from the dead a lot of people rolled their eyes and figure it's going to be a dumb movie but really it looks amazing and you should check it out.

Everybody has been worried... and I guess excited about the new Superman movie. Superman has been around for a long time now and what can I say, a lot of people have become slightly protective of the man of steel and that's why I'm a little worried after seeing the latest trailer. So before I go off and start everybody worrying to much I'll give a link to the official website, here . You really should go and take the time to watch the trailer so you can judge for yourself.  My problem? Yes the entire thing had beautiful special effects, it looks pretty. Then about a minute in Jonathan Kent kinda sounds like he was telling Clark to just let people die. Jonathan, telling Superman to let people die..... Does anybody else see something horribly wrong with that? That seem horribly our of character to me. It's almost as bad as Alfred Pennyworth abandoning Bruce Wayne in the last Batman movie, and if you've read any of my blogs you know how I feel about that. Of cour

So where we go, what do you want first. The good news or the bad news? Oh what the heck lets start down and work our way up. After all it's always better to end on a happy note. Bioshock Infinite, the game we have been waiting for what seems like years has been pushed back yet again. This time it's been pushed back to March 26, 2013.  Ken Levine, the creative director told IGN this time it's been put back for "primarily polish and bug fixing." He also said that they could have shipped the game the game this February but it just wasn't what the fans deserve. At this point I think they may be building this game up for nothing but a failure. I know I've been looking forward to the game for awhile now and when I keep hearing about all the polish they are putting on, I'm expecting one darn good game. It's going to have a lot to live up to. Now for the good news. Another game that's been pushed back a couple time now has finally reached the Itune

It's a super exciting time for Trekkies, Star Trek Into the Darkness has come out with a trailer. If you'd like the chance to see feel free to click here , that's going to take you to Apple trailers. People are already starting to analyze the trailer and what they think to be Spock's ultimate fate. I'm not going to make any guesses what's going to happen, since when you do it only leads to disappointment. What can I say, I'm jaded. People have already started taking shots at the movie poster. Not that they shouldn't it is really close to the Batman Dark Knight Rising movie poster.  Still it's a nice looking poster, but still how about  a little creativity. After all they were making the movie poster to one of the biggest franchises around.

So Batman The Dark Knight Rises is out on blue-ray for everybody so I thought I would give it a review. First of all I'm a Batman fan. I've seen the all the movies, I've read the comics and played the games. So maybe I have a bias, keep that in mind when reading the rest of the review. To be honest I can't believe that anybody liked this movie. While the acting and action was good the plot was crap. It had holes in it you could drive a batmobile threw. Characters that we have all grown to know and love threw the ages acted in ways that not only were out of character but were down right frustrating. I don't want to say exactly what happened not just keep the spoilers away for those masochists that still want to see the movie,  but to save the rest of you the suffering I had to endure. I've never been to a movie that actually wanted to leave in the middle of but I guess their is a first time for everything. Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.

Tomorrow Xbox 360, PS3, and PC will get the next download for Darksiders 2. It's going to cost $10 or 800 microsoft points.  If you purchased the season pass you can pick it up for free.  For all of you with the Wii U, I have no clue if it's going to show up for you at all. This is going to be the third DLC for Darksiders 2. The first being Argul's Tomb, second being Abyssal Forge.  So what's it about? Well if you don't want to know stop reading, right about... now. OK so for those of you that decided to keep reading, good job. So THQ has let out that this expansion will be about how rumors have surfaced that all of humanity might not have been killed so Death is sent to earth to find out the truth where he finds a new evil, Belial.
