We decided to wait until Monday instead of gouging our eyes out watching the NFL Draft this weekend waiting for the premiere of the new Call of Duty 4 Trailer. It looks great but is it too little too late?
Of course we are glad they decided not to go with another WWII title, but frankly what was left to tell in that genre? Sure CoD4 has beautiful graphics and seems to tell a good story using Call of Duty's classic in-game scripted events, but we can't help feeling like we've been here before, especially with GRAW 1 & 2, Operation FlashPoint and Battlefield Modern Combat all setting the bar high. Either way, we are holding off judgement until we actually play it, because the CoD franchise has always been hit or miss for us. When it hits, it hits big; but when it misses, boy does it miss. (Call of Duty 3 and Big Red One, we are looking at you.)

Still wondering how 2KSports was going to circumvent EA's monopoly on the NFL License? Wonder no more. Today 2K announced that they will be taking a trip in the way-back machine and bringing back some of the NFL heroes of yesteryear, from Elway to Sanders and everything in between. 2K rarely lets us down and College Hoops 2K6 was an eye-opening game that made me really start to enjoy sports games again and I can't imagine them letting us down again after their fan-favorite track record.

As we have said before, we love all-things Sam & Max here at the hardcore gamer. How could you not? Sam & Max was so far ahead of its' time not just in gameplay but in character design, story telling, and humor. The original is a classic, the follow-up comics are classics and Gametap's Season One is sure to follow suit if only more of you would actually play it, rather than complain about LucasArts letting them go.

Manhunt 2 Trailer and Screens |

We've got the brand new Manhunt 2 Trailer for all of you hardcore gamers that have enough common sense to know that Manhunt 2 is not a murder simulator.
Looking up Manhunt 2 on wikipedia, I was suprised to find out that Manhunt 2 has actually been in development since 2004, shortly after the release of the first game. However, Jack Thompson's rhetoric bullshit delayed development due to his ever-frivolous lawsuits and ambulance-chasing.
I am not a "fan" per-say of the original, not because of the subject matter, but because the repetitive nature of the gameplay. You can only sufficate so many NPCs with blue plastic bags before you start asking for more. Hopefully the sequel will take the franchise in a new direction and alleviate the problems that plagued the original, take a look at the trailer and see. They seem to be going for more of a "wronged-man" scenario than a running-man one. More than anything, I am most impressed that Rockstar somehow got this on to the kid/parent-friendly Wii.

EA please take note, this is just one of the ways that you can still be a juggernaut AND earn respect from the hardcore gamer community. Ubi has always been one of our favorite publishers but their recent track record has elevated them to legendary status.
Ubisoft Publishing WarTech™ Senko no Ronde in North American and European territories [04.12.07]
SAN FRANCISCO — April 12, 2007 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that it will publish WarTech™ Senko no Ronde, an arcade fighter for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in North American and European territories in May 2007.
Developed by G.rev Ltd., WarTech™ Senko no Ronde is a new take on a famous arcade game from 2004 and has already been released in Japan with great success. Japanese cult magazine Famitsu awarded Senko no Ronde a gold medal and lauded its amazing blend of shoot-em-up action and fighting.
WarTech™ Senko no Ronde thrusts the player into a distant future where humanity has colonized countless new galaxies and Earth has become a planet mined for its natural resources. A violent war has erupted as nations struggle for world domination. Rounder Mechs fill the skies as the fate of the world is determined through aerial combat.
