America’s favorite animated family just can’t seem to make a decent game.

Overall, it was a pretty good show this year. Unlike the previous years, Microsoft focused completely on 2007, meaning every game shown at the event is coming out this year. The show kicked off with Peter Moore playing rock band and ended with a new Halo 3 trailer. A whole lot of cool announcements and great game footage was shown in between. This year I decided that instead of writing a short summary of what was shown, I should just post the entire conference for you guys to watch. It is almost an hour and a half long, but it is pretty entertaining. Also, don’t forget that there is an free HD version of the press conference available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
It has finally been release, so make sure you give it a try. You can download the client installer here. Also, watch for news and upcoming patches on Insurgency’s official website.
Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion modification using Valve Software’s Source Engine. Insurgency immerses you, as the player, into an intense and realistic online combat experience.
Set on the modern battlefields, Insurgency simulates modern infantry combat that doesn’t just encourage the use of teamwork and tactics, but makes it a requirement of survival. On the streets of Iraq it is not safe to be alone. Go head to head with guerrillas, insurgents and resistance fighters, simulating the extreme conditions faced on today’s battlefields.
Engage in urban warfare where every window, doorway or road block is a potential ambush point and every object on the street needs to be watched with care. Fight against the occupation from behind windows and burned cars, with your finger on the trigger and an unsuspecting patrol down the street getting ever closer. Whatever you choose to do, Insurgency is sure to get your pulse racing and make your breathing feel heavy while you engage in such a unique and original combat experience.
To celebrate our nation’s independence our favorite nerd is here to rip apart a game based on a movie based on the day.
The 100th episode of the popular machinima web series “Red vs. Blue” was recently released, thus marking the end of the show’s five season run. The series, created by Rooster Teeth Productions, chronicled the story of two opposing teams of soldiers fighting a civil war in the middle of a desolate canyon, in a parody of first-person shooter games, military life, and science fiction films. What started out as a six to eight episode project quickly gained significant popularity after the first episode was released. This caused Rooster Teeth Productions to extend the series to 100 episodes.
The release of the final episode actually brought down the Rooster Teeth Productions website, preventing fans from watching the last episode for a few hours. Or perhaps I should say last three episodes. Interestingly, there are three different final episodes, all of which are the same except for the ending of the episode. All three of them can be viewed here.
If you have never seen any of the previous episodes, or stopped following the show, you can view all of the seasons here. If you like what you see, you can purchase the seasons on DVD from the official store. Not only are the seasons edited into one seamless movie with much higher video quality, but each DVD is packed with extra content.
