After releasing a slew of free, but not necessarily “new” maps (almost all of the free map packs were simply the base game maps for different modes), DICE has finally given Bad Company 2 players something fresh to chew on in the way of Bad Company 2: Vietnam, a $15 expansion pack set in the infamous ’70s… Continue reading Review: Bad Company 2 Vietnam

My Game of the Year: Heavy Rain
The choice for me was hard, there’s many games I’ve played this year all great in their own way, Mass Effect 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Red Dead Redemption to name a few but after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided on Heavy Rain.
Black Ops “First Strike” Map Pack Coming Feb. 1
Dan Bunting, Director of Online for Treyarch, has confirmed on Major Nelson’s podcast that the first of what will most likely be many map packs will be arriving, as a timed exclusive for 360, on February 1st. Details inside.
My Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops
I’ll be honest here. Unlike a few of the other editors who had an easy time choosing their GOTY, this was a very tough decision for me. So much so that I considered not writing a piece and am still not sure this is the right pick. That’s not to say that Black Ops isn’t… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops
Humble Indie Bundle 2
Earlier this year, Wolfire partnered up with several indie developers, the Electronics Frontier Foundation and Child’s Play to provide gamers with the Humble Indie Bundle, a DRM-free multi-OS pack of 6 indie titles in a ‘pay what you want’ sale. Now, in time for the Christmas spirit, a new bundle has arrived.
My Game of the Year: Fallout New Vegas
After a good week of thinking it through between Mass Effect 2 and New Vegas, I settled on the latter as my Game of the Year. They’re both very good games (which is why they were both possible options) but, on reflection, I realised that Mass Effect 2 had a bit too many issues… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Fallout New Vegas
My Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2
I can’t really say this was a difficult choice. I’ve played a fair few games this year, but nothing was able to top a release seen in its very first month. While I absolutely loved GTA IV, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed with Red Dead Redemption. And even though Rock Band 2 is one… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2
My Game of the Year: Metal Gear Solid – Peace Walker
While some of the others have sounded off on their nominations for our Press X Or Die Game Of The Year, I find myself next up in the panel of judges. And while my choice of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will have some of you baffled, others will see that in a grander scheme… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Metal Gear Solid – Peace Walker
My Game of the Year: Red Dead Redemption
I’m going to be honest, this wasn’t even a contest. The only other games I even considered putting forward were Fallout: New Vegas and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and that was for all of about 30 seconds. From the moment I heard “open world cowboy game” there really could be no doubt what my favorite game… Continue reading My Game of the Year: Red Dead Redemption
PXoD Game of the Year
Well it’s that time of the year again, where we have to sort through the proverbial mountain of new games we’ve amassed throughout the last twelve months, and decide which one of them was arguably the best that we’ve played. And we at Press X or Die have come up with our own way of doing… Continue reading PXoD Game of the Year
