May Gaming News Updates


_PC_

Here's what's going on in news concerning a few of our favorite games:

Left 4 Dead 2
We've all played the new DLC ("The Passing") by now.
The Good: pretty decent if short campaign.
The Bad: it broke various mods and plug-ins world-wide.
Supposedly this is just the first of several free DLC releases planned...well, free for the PC at least.
There is also a new "mutations mod" just released that we might try out.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
ATI had finally released driver updates for ALL Radeon video cards to help with slow load times. I'll be trying these out ASAP this week.
A BC2-centric Stats Viewer has now been released. I'll try to check this out soonest.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Well, the next version as usual will be released in November. I'm not too excited about his news given the screw-over of the PC Community by ATVI last time around. Something to keep an eye on I guess.

That's pretty much it game-wise. We've not been doing much BC2 lately as not enough players showing up. Maybe we can correct that next weekend, tho' Crow starts his summer work schedule then so who knows if/when he'll be available.

On a personal note, we're trying to sell Tess' Burgman 400 scooter so if you hear of anyone interested point them to our ad here.

That's it for now....
Mamba, out
