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…

It’s on Like You-Know-Who in Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Long-Awaited Return of Classic Series Delivers Two-Player Co-Op Action, Lush Graphics and Hidden Content to Discover
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– One of the most iconic characters in video game history is making a triumphant, chest-pounding return just in time for the holidays. The game Donkey Kong Country™ Returns is now available exclusively for the Wii™ system, giving new and experienced players a wild new way to get acquainted with the legendary Donkey Kong™. Combining imaginative new features and dynamic motion controls with classic elements from the original Donkey Kong Country games for Super NES™, this side-scrolling jungle adventure also marks the first time in the series that friends can play together in a cooperative two-player mode.
Donkey Kong Country Returns takes place on scenic Donkey Kong Island, where the mischievous Tiki Tak Tribe has plundered Donkey Kong’s banana stash. Players use either the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers or a single Wii Remote held horizontally to maneuver the famous ape as he runs, jumps and climbs on a quest to recover the stolen bananas. Players can feel the power of Donkey Kong by shaking the controllers to perform moves such as the mighty Ground Pound or forward-tumbling Barrel Roll as they advance through more than 70 beautifully rendered levels. The new simultaneous two-player mode lets a second player (with his or her own Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller or Wii Remote held horizontally) swing into action as Donkey Kong’s agile sidekick, Diddy Kong™, whose special talents include riding high on Donkey Kong’s back, using his Barrel Jet to defy gravity and firing his Peanut Popgun.
