Brütal Legend and Need for Speed: Shift. Both games have their demos out today. While I’m more interested in seeing what NfS:S can do, I know that many of the MWN guys have chubs for Brütal Legend and have that on their ‘must have’ list for 2009.
You see, we’re a bunch of Tim Schafer fanboys here. Instant 10/10 if the current state of gaming journalism is any indication.
Back to the topic though, both games’ demos are available on PSN and Xbox Live today. I’m personally looking forward to the new Need for Speed demo…I’m looking for a game to replace my unrequited love for Gran Turismo, that might just be the one for me. The commercials were cool and from what I saw at PAX it’s sure to be a blast.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
