If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting entirely too long to resume the role of B.J. Blazkowicz. Since the announcement of a new Wolfenstein title from id eons ago, all has been silent. According to CVG, that veil is soon to be lifted by next month’s edition of Personal computer Gamer magazine.
It all started with a tiny tiny picture. It’s a large pixilated headshot of B.J. from the original Wolfenstein 3D with the caption “He’s Back.” Interestingly, B.J. does look like he’s been shot a few times in the picture, as his nose is freshly wet with blood. Is this a foreshadowing of an hurt Blazkowicz in the new Wolfenstein title, or is just an iconic image? Also, why must we be teased like this?
There are very few games out there that have captured me as much as Wolfenstein has. The playful abundance of swastika placement, Hitler boss fights, hidden passages, and super-awesome-wicked-nasty flamethrowers have helped define my experience with first-person shooters. Now, I have the ability to only sit back and pray to Thor that decent information finally comes out for this title.

Coming straight from Gamecock’s chest-o-marketing-media, we’re treated to a new trailer for their upcoming stealthy game Velvet Assassin. Have a watch. But before you start to make comparisons between it an a certain Sam Fisher, know that there are a few distinct differences. First, Velvet Assassin comes pre-populated with hundreds of Nazis. And second, Velvet Assassin’s main hero is of female origin. See, two totally different games.
After watching all that stealthy crouching, one has to believe that irreversible damage is being done to the lower lumbar. Hope she has good medical insurance or lives in Canada, because in ten years, she’ll need it.

The Xbox Live Arcade just got two games larger this morning with the addition of “the most co-op game ever” Schizoid and “the most golfy golf game ever” Golf: Tee It Up! And wouldn’t you know that both games are available right this very instant for purchase off the XBLA for a middle-range 800 Microsoft points apiece. How perfect! Also, we don’t think we have to remind you that, if you buy Schizoid and go on the prowl for accomplishments, you’ll inevitably unlock the Sploderific achievement. An accomplishment whose name was birthed from these sacred X3F blogging grounds. Have fun golfing, have fun being cooperative and (in general) have oodles of fun this XBLA Wednesday.

After the Microsoft Gamers Day a while back, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was seen by many in the community as too much of a departure from the older formula. The addition of cars, parts, and the creation of the former using the latter wasn’t exactly traditional to the series’ formula. Despite the fact that what we saw and played was fun, we have the ability to definitely state that the bits we had time with weren’t exactly reminiscent of the N64 days.
Rare looks to have anticipated the outcry and saved much of the more traditional stuff for later reveal. IGN recently got some media out of Rare that seems designed just for that reveal, the first video introduces you to Showdown Town, the game hub, and where most of the more traditional platforming happens. The second video showcases Banjo Land and displays some of the automobile creation and editing, as well as some of the quirky world exploration. Get watching!
By the way, listen closely around 4:00 into the first video for what could be a possible mention of a long rumored item.

We’ve gotten quite a few questions about it recently, so we thought it might be ideal to let everyone know that the second series of McFarlane Halo 3 action figures is now available. As before, there are a couple exclusives in the bunch, but the majority of the figures can be found in major retailers and, of course, at Amazon. We opted for the steel gray ODST Spartan, which is exclusive to GameStop. You can find a listings of all the figures and where to find them at the links below.

Owned. Literally. The stylized look of the Sin City movie was (and still is) quite iconic. With the second motion picture yet to be made, Frank Miller tied up shooting The Spirit, and now the purchasing of the studio that does the effects, just how much influence does that style hold for the future?
After its acquisition by Ubisoft, Hybride Technologies will supposedly continue to work with its motion picture partners, but will also work on bringing some of Ubisoft’s IP’s to the massive screen. While this does seem quite out of character for a video game publisher, and it seems even weirder considering how Tom Clancy happy Ubisoft is, but it does open some interesting doors for that Prince of Persia motion picture.

As you can see, you shouldn’t know about this until Sunday. After all the other leaks surrounding the issue, one wouldn’t think it’d be such a big screaming deal. Still, the phone cam shot above looks to confirm what we’ve already known. However, we shouldn’t forget that the majority of gamers don’t exactly comb the web for this stuff, and “window signs,” “Pop-ons” (whatever those are) and a gigantic stack of boxes with “oversized price labels” will likely be the first many folks hear of the price drop.

Alright kiddies time for some sleuthing courtesy of the Gears of War Official Forums. The Gears site has a new splash page up (above) and in Marcus’ hand are some Dog (Cog?) Tags. Immediately upon discovery, there was the speculation that this meant death and loss would play some bigger part in the game’s story. But then someone decided to take a closer look at the number sequence visible on the tag: 033-116-117-126-071.
Seemingly random right? Nope. Match those numbers with one of these ASCII tables, and you’ll get yourself the following letter string: “ESC N O V 9″. We’d love to believe that this was simply thrown in there to mess with the community, but it seems to be too much of a coincidence to be something wholly meaningless. Is this an early “word” on the release date? We sure hope so.
Hit the break for a closer look at the tags.
[Thanks Laron Alexander]
