MoH
Okay, so maybe it’s not exactly Linkin Park, but Mike Shinoda, the man behind the popular band (and Fort Minor, a hip-hop side project), is composing the music for Electronic Arts’s upcoming game, Medal of Honor: Warfighter. This isn’t the first time that Shinoda has composed for others, however. He was behind The Raid: Redemption‘s soundtrack, which wasn’t too bad, if I do say so myself. EA’s main competitior, Activision, has called on Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails to compose Call of Duty: Black Ops II‘s theme song, and he wrote the tracks for the films, The Girl with

Hyper Dimension Neptunia MK 2 Heads To PSN This August

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

NIS America’s follow up to last years quirky console war inspired Hyper Dimension Neptunia, Mk2, is scheduled for release onto the PlayStation network on August 7th in North America and August 8th in Europe. The original Hyper Dimension Neptunia is one of my favorite RPGS from this console generation. MK2 improves on the original by including a brand new combo and improved battle system. The Neptunia franchise is just as much about geek-culture humor and Anime stereotypes as it is a stats driven RPG, designed to fill a specific niche. If you grew up playing the N64, or even something

Mechromancer
The fine folks over at Gearbox Software have been diligently working on Borderlands 2, one of the most anticipated games of the year (for me anyway). Thanks to their hard work, Borderlands 2 has just gone into certification for release. Now, while the on-disc content may be finished, that doesn’t mean that the downloadable content isn’t.
