Rage easter eggs pay tribute to the classic id games

You know who created Rage right? they are the makers of the classic Doom series, Quake series, and the first ever First Person Shooter - Wolfenstein 3D. So to pay tribute to their classic games, they placed easter eggs for Rage players to find and enjoy. Wanna see? 

Wolfenstein 3D Easter Egg

Doom Easter Egg

Quake Easter Egg

It's pretty awesome and made me want to get a copy of those classic games to play again, or even buy Rage. Too busy dying in Dark Souls though.

Anybody going through Rage right now? it's said to be a great shooter in its own right and to be confused with games like Fallout or Borderlands. It's not Fallout, it's not Borderlands. They just have certain elements that bring out the confusion. It being in a post-apocalyptic setting, open world, and having an inventory system. I say, if you like the old FPS kind of games, then this might just work for you.

'ASSIST ME!' - Strider Hiryu & Hawkeye: UMvC3

Got the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 hype? Can't wait till November? Well it seems that Max and Dr. Doom got an early copy and are hard at work to show it off.

In this episode we see some of Strider Hiryu's and Hawkeye's moves. Max covers each of their special moves, assists and supers. Now I'm not sure if they got the full version of the game or just a copy of the demo for trade shows and events etc. I've sent Max a message asking about this and will update if I get a reply.

"Michael" - Long Live Play

Remember that Long Live Play Kevin Butler video thing? Long Live Play is PlayStation's current gimmick right now to get more gamers into the spirit of gaming (ie get more people to buy their stuff). PSN PLAY is a program that's going on in the PlayStation Store. Every game purchase that falls under the 'PLAY' category will give you special bonuses like a free piece of DLC and so on. Sony then teased that they would be revealing something come October 5th. It's not a major announcement or a new game. It was just a video but what a video it is.

What do you think video game characters do when you turn your console off?

If you don't understand who Michael is, Michael is the gamer and the gamer is you. The person who guides all these characters around through their adventures, fights through waves of enemies, and saves the world many times over. For these characters, you are their hero. Long Live Play.

Zelda Four Swords commercial with Robin Williams

Robin Williams and his daughter Zelda(yes, named after the princess) show up once again for another Zelda commercial but this time they compete with Zelda Four Swords.

Got to love Robin Williams for doing these commercials. Nintendo is currently celebrating Zelda's 25th anniversary, and they have a lot planned. One of them is Four Swords anniversary edition that just went free to download on the 3DS/DSi shop a few days ago. Grab it now! or later if you want since it will be free until next year February. Don't you love free stuff?
