[ -> N/A]

<html><body>Here are a couple more previews for <A HREF=http://www.devastationgame.com/ target=_blank>Devastation</A> to drive Killzig further insane:<UL><LI> <A HREF=http://actionvault.ign.com/features/pre ... tion.shtml target=_blank>Action Vault</A> - Phenomenal success in a shooter can only be achieved with solid multiplayer action. While the beta didn't allow us to see how well Devastation handles online play, the developers promise the standard modes of deathmatch, capture the flag and the like, as well as a totally new style of play called territories. Something new is exactly what a game needs to offer, and it is said to be a hybrid of other styles, combining domination (where players need to control parts of the map for victory points), capture the flag, and once the spawners are destroyed, last man standing.<LI> <A HREF=http://www.gamerspulse.com/modules.php? ... ent&id=137 target=_blank>Gamers Pulse</A> - The sounds of Devastation live up to the graphics. Good voice work, great sound effects and cool ambient sound. I highly recommend that you play at night so that you can really get that "all alone against the apocalyptic world" feel.</UL>Spotted at <A HREF=http://www.bluesnews.com/ target=_blank>Blue's News</A>.</body></html>

Are they using Slim Shady as the intro tune or maybe Stan? I don't know. Maybe they're sponsoring Eminem's next tour? VE3D is impossible to visit right now, the whole god damn place looks like an advertisement for X-Men2... ugh. All commercials, all the time.

They explained that whole Eminem lookalike deal a while ago. He's supposedly an "every-man" kinda character. It's just a coincidence. If you changed his hair from blonde to brown nobody would find any similarity.

So then when they change his hair color it'll be Robert Downey Jr.? What about red head? Then it'll be the kid from problem child... YIPPIE. Still, the game looks naff.

Care to explain why? You never gave any good reasons for hating the game besides the main character's similarity to eminem.

You ever walk down the record store aisles and see something like "Duets: Barry White and Willie Nelson singing your favorite songs for worshipping our lord" then it's like a dry heave mixed with a guffaw. That's the way Devastation makes me feel, it's an affront to my impeccable taste.

So you mean that if they main character looked like Joe Strummer, you'd buy it?

I'd at least **censored**... right, better not say anything lest saint come out on the attack.

yeah i agree, but the thing is i can't see anything else decent coming out in the next few months. might as well play the least worse game coming out. and it's supposed to be post-apocalyptic so i'll have to check it out just so i can rightfully shit over it afterwards.
