This week has been a little busy around Casa Buttonmashing so there won’t be a Video Game Power Rankings this week. The news was a little slow but things are going to be ramping up very soon and we’ll be back into the swing of things next week.
Mashing buttons since 1984
A pinch hit:
1. (-) Bioshock Infinite – this literally came out of nowhere and oozes atmosphere.
2. (2) Borderlands DLC – we got some more info and it’s a Claptrap rebellion. All of us here are excited save for one.
3. (1) Starcraft II – you are not playing this? The entire PC world is. Looks like Blizzard is adding some “features” soon. Sorry, RealID stays.
4. (-) Madden 11 – Sigh.
5. (-) Valve DotA Rumors – We might be seeing a new game form Valve soon after acquiring developer IceFrog and their Defense of the Ancients Allstars mod for Warcraft III.
6. (-) Scott Pilgrim sinks – Looks like it didn’t do so well at the box office opening weekend. Why?
7. (-) Halo Reach – Obligatory for the fanboys.
8. (-) Red Faction – Anyone have any idea as to the different games announced, the DLC, game types, etc.? It seems like THQ is taking a slightly above-mediocre game and milking it—a lot.
Nice! Thanks for picking up the slack, Nat.
I defnitely had Bioshock Infinite and Borderlands DLC tagged for this week. BSI looks amazing.
I am SUPER excited about the remake of Ivory Tower for Halo Reach but I still want them to redo Hang ‘Em High. Best Halo map ever.
