  • A Titantic Coincidence?

    So,G4TV’s The Feed thought it interesting enough to note an interesting connection brought up by the podcast “Legendary” on GameBreaker.tv. The gist of it is the rumor that the next Gen MMO Blizzard is working on codenamed “Titan” is actually a Halo MMO. Astute Halo news historians will remember that the previously failed Halo MMO concept (by a different developer) shared the same code name. They draw a few interesting connections and give some evidence to link them, but you can watch/listen and form your own opinion. Color me quite skeptical. (GrimBrother One 19:49:03 UTC)

  • AH: Dead Rising 2: Case West Hidden Item Map!

    Hey guys, I want to drop something off really quick. I’ve been working away in my spare time on a Dead Rising 2: Case West hidden item map and I just completed the first major portion of it, the hidden security cameras. If you haven’t checked out Case West yet, you should, it’s a pretty awesome way to finish off Dead Rising 2.

    And you can totally use this map to help pick up an achievement! I’ll be adding more later including magazines and PP stickers, but for now, enjoy!
