You Can Swim In Black Ops
We all know Call of Duty: Black Ops as Activision's latest first person shooter in the Call of Duty series. Living the story of soldiers, powering through intenst gun fights. All that jazz.
Apparently there's a new move you can use online. YOU CAN SWIM! Yes, you can swim in Black Ops.

This is done by going prone, holding either a knife or dual wielding weapons and rapidly pressing the switch weapon button while moving forward. Hilarious to watch.

Shuma-Gorath and Jill Valentine Reveal Trailers
"Birth giving stance?"
Well they're finally here. The (first?) two DLC characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Jill sporting her RE5 look with a very dynamic (and strange) idle stance. Now I don't know if all her moves got a complete overhaul but from the looks of it most are new. MvC2 loyalists might not like the new Jill but I'm sure they'll still fork out the dough to try her out.

Shuma still has one eye and still has tentacles. No doubt a favorite since he's been present in all MvC titles so far. His smug cross armed taunt looks better than ever in 3D and the chaos dimension still looks to deal a lot of damage.

People who purchased the Special Edition of the game will have early access to these two DLC characters and depending on if they like em could have the competitive edge when battling other players. Others will have to wait until Capcom gives the two characters a regular release.
PS:
5 bucks per character? DLC rape.
There's actually going to be a Risen 2?!
It's not a bad thing that there's going to be a second, it's actually a good thing. Risen is an Open world RPG that was released in 2009 for the PC and Xbox 360 and received decent reviews from metacritics.I played it myself and needed an RPG fix at the time. Dragon Age: Origins was still a month away and i was needed a filler to keep me busy while waiting. I wasn't expecting anything from this game but it surprised me just like how Two Worlds 2 did. It's a pretty decent RPG with minor flaws that didn't break the experience.
Risen 2 is being developed by Piranha Bytes and confirmed that it will be out on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3. Risen 2: Dark Waters is set several years after the end of Risen. Titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Creatures have emerged from the sea and stopped poor boats from doing their business. You, the hero, must set out to stop the chaos.
Player choices will have an impact on progression and will unlock certain paths and will also affect certain features and additional skills your character can learn. There will also be an interactive environment and a full day/night-cycle affecting countless aspects of the game world.
Quite promising. They have no definite date but Risen 2: Dark Waters is aiming for a 2011 release on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
