Donkey Kong Jenga = Awesome

We love playing Jenga, especially while drunk with our friends. So what could possibly be better than combining our passions for Jenga and classic gaming? Nothing. This is it. Buy it here and get us one for Christmas while you're at it. [Amazon]




Half Life - Contra Hybrid Video


If Half Life lived in the Contra world - this is how it would look. There is also a cool Half-LifeVania (half life meets Castlevania) video but this one is just classic. You can find a shit-ton of gaming spoofed videos and the such over at machinima.com.

(thanks James)


Facebook Coming to Your Face...and PS3



Yep - Facebook will now be on the PS3 with a slow roll out happening over the next few days with the latest PS3 update. You probably already have it and don't even know it. 360's recent update brought it and now it's everywhere. So now you can update your friends not only about the useless shit you do day in and day out but what video games you're playing too. Thanks to Facebook's recent crappy-ness I'm slowly caring less and less about my friend's daily habits. Sorry friends but error messages don't help me care about your favorite time of day.  



Modern Warfare 2 Kicking Record Book Ass and Taking No Names...At All



So I think people expected MW2 to kick ass in sales but this is ridiculous. Activision/Blizzard Inc. (both should be thanking God for this) announced that MW2 is shattering all sorts of records - boasting a new worldwide estimated five-day sell-through record of aprox. $550 million. Are you titty-f**kin (TFin') me? This is taking them to the level of biggest entertainment launch in history. It has beaten out all previous first and five day entertainment industry box office, book and video game sell-through records. And I haven't even bought a copy yet. Activision - $550,000,060 will soon be yours. Read on to see a few of the records MW2 is dominating right now.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days....Can't Wait?



Umm yea so they're making a sequel. Saw that coming, but after the first one's hype machine lead to an OK game - I'm skeptical. Phrases like 'never before seen visual experience' is being thrown around and I'm not sure what to think. The game will follow the title characters as they wreak havoc in the gritty Shanghai underworld. Hence the foreign language in the logo. Apparently this 'never before seen visual experience' is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user generated era. So crappy content presented on a shaky handy cam? Awesome. Well I might not be too far off - especially with these two "viral" videos: Bowling for Shanghai and Burger Joint. The bowling one is cool but the Burger Joint one makes no sense. And I'm glad that dog is ok. I hope this isn't the 'new visual experience' cause I'll throw it out there. It'll suck. Work on a new Hitman game. Anyways, K&L Deuce is looking at a 2010 release check the official site for updates.



Et tu, Mario?

Slate has a nice story about the highs and lows of playing with other people. You should read it. [Slate]




Space Pirates From Tomorrow the Game; Can We Get The B-Movie Tie-In?



Can this be made into a movie? Please, anyone? Just go with the title and this cover art and nothing more. I guarantee you'd have a B-movie cult classic on your hands. Well until then I guess we'll have to settle with the indie game by MStar Games! SPFT lends itself to an interesting balance of classic 80's gameplay and themes with the flexibility of the 360. Premise of the game - make cash, kill aliens and keep alive. That is actually my personal motto. SPFT has a completely random mission system meaning no two missions are alike. And with about 6,000 star systems to explore (yes, 6,000), trading missions, races and general free-for-all combat you're looking at a minimum of 100 hrs just to visit all the star systems and alot of variety in gameplay. The title will release through Xbox LIVE Indie Games channel but not before the Peer Review testing which will begin Nov. 16th with expected release within 3 weeks. For more details about the game, screenshots and MStar Games visit their official site.

[8bit Impressions] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves



So after another slight hiatus from the [8bit World] I'm making another attempt at a comeback, again. Now I know what it feels like to be Brett Favre - minus the Hall of Fame arm, tons of money, and a winning team. Anyways, lately my time has been consumed by that thing called a job. Any moment I'm not doing that - I've been tacking on some hours in the gaming world. My recent exploits have ranged from revisiting Dead Space, starting on a new path in Borderlands (impression coming soon) and going into a ridiculous online slump in NHL 10. Also in that mix has been, and what prompts this impression, a little PS3 title called Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. [ more.. ]


Top 25 Video Game Trailers...Of All Time



Sorry forgot my password. The folks over at Asylum put together a nice list of the top video game trailers of all time. After we perused this list we have to agree with most of them. But in particular, and I think I can speak for the whole [8bit Crew], the Fallout 3 teaser trailer was our favorite. Although it barely made their 25 - it is up against some pretty great ones. We like this one because it's creepy as hell. Enjoy.


Happy Belated Halloween from 8bit

Nice excuse to post a pic of the above dork, who painted her face and ruined a perfectly good t-shirt with 8bit junk. We love her for it. [Kindacarsick]
