Real soldier criticizes Black Ops box art
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
“They just released Call of Duty [Black Ops], and I looked at the poster — both pistols exhibited on the poster are 1911 A1 model pistols. One of them has the thumb safety down with the hammer on, which is impossible to do on that gun, which means the pistol is broken. And the other one has got the hammer down with the guy’s finger on the trigger, which wouldn’t happen either.” – Wolfgang Hammersmith, soldier
I have a buddy who is really into guns and weapons and stuff, and he’s a huge fan of Black Ops, but that does not stop him from totally disowning the game’s realism. Apparently there are guns in that game (which is set in 1968) that weren’t even created until the 2000s! I wonder what this soldier thinks of the game itself…
Atlus bringing Radiant Historia to North America

ATLUS RETURNS FROM A TERRIBLE FUTURE WITHOUT RADIANT HISTORIA, TIME-TRAVEL RPG FOR NINTENDO DS, WITH NEWS OF NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE IN FEBRUARY 2011
Gonna go back (and forward) in time.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — NOVEMBER 22, 2010 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc., recently returned from an expedition into the future, today announced a North American release for Radiant Historia, a new internally-developed time-travel RPG for Nintendo DS. Channeling the heart and soul of fan favorite 16-bit RPG classics, Radiant Historia combines a unique position-based battle system, intricate hand-drawn details, and one of the best soundtracks in recent memory as it takes gamers on a steampunk adventure back and forth through time.
“We’ve seen a future without a North American localization of Radiant Historia,” warned a stern Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales. “That future was depressing and noticeably lacking in the ‘epic handheld RPG’ category. Knowing what that tomorrow would be like, we’re excited to release Radiant Historia for Nintendo DS in February 2011. It’s the kind of gaming experience that is really a time machine unto itself, transporting gamers back to the 16-bit era, the golden age of RPGs. Prepare to jump forward and back through time, meeting a variety of memorable characters and taking in some of the most polished, lovingly hand-drawn visuals ever to grace a handheld entry in the genre. A gaming future without all that? Not pretty,” he concluded, grimacing.
Radiant Historia is currently scheduled to release on February 22, 2011 for Nintendo DS™. For more information, visit the official website.
