As part of the Marvel Vengence & Virtue DLC coming to Zen Studios' excellent Pinball FX2, Thor will be battling the usual gods, demons, and pinballs. At least the pinballs will be electrified by the God of Thunder's super powers!
Check out the video below.
With the release of Halo Reach it was certain to be one of the top games on Xbox LIVE during the week of it release, but where would it show up on the list? Can Modern Warfare 2 retain it's throne? And the short answer is yes. Hype on top of hype didn't help Halo Reach eclipse a title that's been on the market for nearly a year now. "Reaching" #1 on just one weeks sales would have been a major accomplishment for sure. To put things into perspective though, think about how many titles release and are no where to be seen even in the expanded top 20.
On a zombie note, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is quite the hit ( with more like it to follow from other publishers for sure now) and so is Ska Studios' I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 on the Indie Games Channel, still.

Remember that Master Chief fellow from those first three Halo titles? Yeah, that Master Chief. He's a swell guy isn't he. He's so swell millions upon millions of people know who he is from this thing we've come to know and sometimes love called Xbox. But how well has Master Chief's exploits against the Covenant propelled him into the lexicon of today's society? There's no way John 117 would be more recognized over an important NON-FICTIONAL person like Nelson Mandela, would he? Well, get prepared to lose a little bit of faith in humanity as you watch several people fail to know who Nelson Mandela is, yet Master Chief rolls off the tongue like there's no tomorrow.
Being one of the single greatest reason's for the eventual abolishment of Apartheid in South Africa is most definitely a good way to get yourself some fame. Unfortunately that pales in comparison to sticking it some aliens. Or is it the massive crushing feeling we all felt when Halo 2 didn't have an ending that we can't shake to this day? Can that really propel Master Chief to stardom beyond that of a living hero? I don't know what that says about our society today, but it most certainly confirms that this thing that we call videogames must be pretty damn awesome.
