Resistance 2 Beta Keys, "Colossal" Secret In Next Gamepro

Want to get into the Resistance 2 beta? One place to start is the next issue of Gamepro magazine which, in addition to having a little Resistance 2 wingding, is also the home to some beta access keys. They're not just giving them away, unfortunately. You just have a chance to win one. How many are they handing? Not sure. We're guessing at least 60. But that's just a guess.

The issue teaser also hints at some sort of secret. The adjective "colossal" is used. We're instructed to sit down, it's that serious. What could it be?! Surely there's a countdown clock out there that will provide us with more information!

Halo Wars Gets Two-Player Co-op

The latest issue of GamePro magazine features cover story treatment on Ensemble Studios real-time strategy take on the Halo universe, Halo Wars. According to the mag, by way of TeamXbox, the Xbox 360 game will feature multiplayer for up to six via LIVE, with a two-player co-op campaign to keep things interesting. If you want more info beyond that, you'll have to seek out the July issue of GamePro for more.

In the meantime, the online arm of the publication has released four new Halo Wars screen shots—four obscenely watermarked and painfully blurry screen shots with a very odd perspective, but four screen shots nonetheless.

halo wars

Oh, New Halo Wars Info!

Courtesy of this month's GamePro, which is as you read this working its way to subscriber's mailboxes. While the cover feature promises news on all future Halo titles, it only dishes out hard information (and gorgeous new screens) on Halo Wars. But that's OK. We'll take it. Because a console RTS is a new experience for Ensemble, they've stripped back their traditional playstyle in favour of something a little more Halo-esque. Which means only one economic unit - "supplies" - and fast, fast, fast battles, with the team promising you can be fighting "within ten seconds" of hitting the battlefield. Also revealed is at least a partial list of the units that'll be available. More »

Five Ways to Simplify Complex Controllers

Arriving yesterday in the mail, as if laughing at me, was Assassin's Creed, courtesy of my restarted Gamefly subscription. I had forgotten to change my game queue (I also got The Warriors on PSP. WTF?) So, really, if I were to seriously play Assassin's Creed within a week after getting GTA IV, we're talking about a length of time spent indoors that borders on being incarcerated.

Anyway, this is hardly news, but AC has a control system that will take me a week to get comfortable manipulating. The game is a perfect example of how increasingly complex controllers will give rise to increasingly complex-to-control games. GamePro has a list of 5 suggestions for paring down the buttons and options.

Epic Shoots Down GamePro's Gears 2 Exclusive

The upcoming GamePro issue hitting newsstands February 12th entices gamers with a "special report" on Epic's Gears of War 2—the game we all know is coming but has yet to be announced to the world. So did GamePro score the scoop? According to Epic's Mark Rein, they did not.

It is complete nonsense. We have not announced a sequel to Gears of War to Gamepro or anyone else for that matter.
This response, of course, does not write off the possibility of hot gossip or legitimate leaks. But don't expect six pages of centerfold-quality Gears 2 porn or any official confirmation.

consoles betrayed

GamePro Sides with 360 and PS2

In GamePro's Fall 2007 report card, they've picked the Xbox 360 and PS2 as the systems to buy. While the Xbox lost a lot of points on its hardware grade (D-), the two consoles were chosen because of an incredible selection of games. As for the Wii and PS3—they simply haven't matured enough—so they are both put in the 'wait and see' category. (Ed note: I just made up said category on GamePro's behalf. I'm sure they won't mind.)

So without starting a flame war, which systems are your current must-have picks and why? I'm inclined to agree with GamePro, though no Nintendo DS on the list? Are they freaking crazy? Once again, are they freaking crazy??

Give That Halo 3 Armor a Custom Makeover

The newest issue of GamePro magazine has a little feature on Halo 3 revealing screenshots of some heretofore unseen items like new weapons, maps and vehicles. But the real news comes in the form of the revelation that there will be customizable armor. You can finally give your soldiers the makeover they so richly deserve. I haven't received my issue to check it all out yet, but the folks over at The Hushed Casket are pretty excited about it. And if they are excited, I'm excited. You should be too! Aren't you? More »

The Strategy of Game Delays

Who hasn't experienced the frustration of calling or going to a game store to see an eagerly anticipated game has arrived, only to find it's been delayed for days, weeks, or months? While game delays are often caused by developmental issues, sometimes the cause for delay are less flukes and more strategic marketing maneuvers on the part of publishers. More »

Gaming Myths Busted

Gamepro tackles some very gaming-centric myths in their latest feature, trying to clear up some confusion about the next-gen disc format wars, 1080p versus 1080i versus 720p, and why you shouldn't buy third party controllers. More »

gamepro expo

IDG Picks Gamer Expo Name

Back in November IDG announced a contest to name their new gamer Expo, the spiritual successor to E3 for fans. While I was perfectly happy with the name GamePro Expo, IDG felt they needed something that was less theirs, more ours. Today they've announced the winning name. The E for All Expo.
More than 3000 entries were submitted on GamePro.com. The winning entry was proposed by California resident Dante Padre, who has won a trip to the E For All Expo for his submission Padre explained his inspiration behind the E for All Expo name, saying that "this show seems to be about inviting everyone to participate...they even asked gamers to create the name."
Ravers from across the country have already lined up outside the LA Convention Center with binkies and glow sticks, hoping to score some E once the show opens in mid-October of this year. Michael Fahey More »

Name the GamePro Gamer Expo

As you all know, GamePro's parent company IDG is launching a new consumer gaming expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center next October in order to fill the sucking void left by E3's move from gala event to quiet get together. Dubbed the GamePro Expo by the online community, the actual name of the event is being left in the hands of you, the gamer. From now until November 20th you can submit your suggestions for the event, with the lucky guy or girl who submits the winning name receiving airline tickets to the show and special access to events.

Played Out! The First, Crappiest Gamer Sitcom

Two slacking, unkempt gamers have nightmarish hallucinations that their consoles — Jeff (the 360), Cube (the Gamecube) and Two (the PS2) — have anthropomorphically sprung to life. That's the premise of Played Out!, the world's "first gamer sitcom." More »

Pimpin' It Like a GamePro Editor

This is my new favorite game-related ad. It shows, in a series of crappy cartoon panels, what life as a GamePro Editor is like. Apparently, as Kyle at VGMWatch points out, there's a lot of hot girls and sunglass wearing involved. For a sneak peek at life as a Kotaku editor see panel one. Repeat. Brian Crecente More »

GamePro Gives Delayed DOA4 100 Percent?

A Kotaku reader wrote in to point out what he calls something fishy at GamePro. Apparently about two weeks ago the magazine pubished a review, not a preview, but a review of the yet to be released and constantly delayed fighter Dead or Alive 4. According to the reader, and Metacritic and Game Rankings, the mag scored the ethereal fighter a perfect 100 percent. More »

In other words, Gamepro and Games.net will now be the top results in all videogame-related searches on the Ask Jeeves site. More »
