CEO 2013 Results (Fighting Game Tournament)

June 28-30 Alex Jebailey hosted one of the biggest Fighting game tournaments in Orlando, Florida called  CEO, some of the greatest players came out to show who would make it to the top. This is the first tournament I have seen to have an Elimination chamber.  Players also walked into the ring to a theme song, you can say that this is not your ordinary Fighting game tournament.    The matches were insane,  along with new players showing what they are capable of.   This years CEO was truly impressive and I’m looking forward to next years. If you weren’t able to check some of the streams from  CEO Gaming, Capcom Fighters and FunkyP Gaming. Here are some of  the results from this weekends tournament.

Big E Gaming Presents: Summer Jam 7 (Fighting Game Tournament)

 

I have received tons of  Tweets and Facebook messages about what tournament I will be attending next, so I decided I would just do a post and answer every ones questions at once.  Now most of you already know I pretty much will go out of my way to attend a Big E event, Why?  Big E and his staff run the events smoothly and I have a great time every time I attend one of his events.

 

The tournament will be held in Philly on August 17-18, at the Sheraton Suites Hotel (Great Hotel and the Rooms are big with a bar downstairs), he also gets deals on the rooms  for whoever is attending, but you must grab them fast before they are all sold out or you will pay regular price, now sometimes he gets the hotel to add more rooms at a discount price so keep a look out,  now if you are coming from New York you’re best bet is to take the Mega Bus or the Grey Hound, not too expensive and I have  had yet to have a problem getting out there.

 

I have included a link to the site where you can find more information such as price, games that will be played and link to the rooms.  Hope to see you guys there!! 🙂

Get Ready To Block and Load: Guncraft

 

If you’ve never heard of the game Minecraft you must be living under a rock.  The game that is based on  breaking and placing blocks, building structures that would protect against monsters. This game has become so addictive that  I have lost a couple of friends to this game, so with that being said, I have a feeling I will lose a couple of more once this game is available.

Exato Game Studios and Reverb Publishing are “blocked and loaded” with a new video for Guncraft, showing how players can build in the heat of battle to gain the upper hand. Unlike similar games, Guncraft enables players to build during multiplayer matches, crafting structures and walls block-by-block to use as immediate cover.  Alternatively, players can create any prefab structure to drop immediately in-game using Guncraft’s prefabrication system.

 

No other shooter gives players this much flexibility to transform the arena in which they play – through creation and destruction. Guncraft rewards clever players who can build anything from defensive walls to strategically designed structures. It’s not always about how you shoot – it’s about how you build.

 

Guncraft fans are asked to help vote for the game on Valve’s Steam Greenlight, (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=94212175), which enables members of the Steam community to vote for games that they’d like to see available. Vote today!

Call of Duty Ghosts: Trailer

Let’s not act too surprised now, we all know every year we get a new Call of Duty to add to our collection.  Now the question is, will this Call of Duty be better than COD: Black Ops II? or will this installment just be a huge disappointment?

Check out the press release as well as the trailer, and you be the judge.

“Infinity Ward set the gold standard for first-person action for a generation, and they’re going to do it again with Call of Duty: Ghosts,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. “Ghosts delivers an all-new story, all-new characters, an all-new Call of Duty world, all powered by a next generation Call of Duty engine, which is a leap forward for the franchise. Infinity Ward is going all-in to create the next generation ofCall of Duty worthy of the world’s greatest fans.”

 

“Everyone was expecting us to make Modern Warfare 4, which would have been the safe thing to do. But we’re not resting on our laurels,” said Mark Rubin, executive producer of developer Infinity Ward. “We saw the console transition as the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter for Call of Duty. So we’re building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players. We can’t wait to share them with our community.”

 

To see an exclusive first look at Call of Duty: Ghosts tune in to Xbox: the Next Generation Revealed on May 21 at 10AM PDT on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE or SPIKE TV for the debut of the all-new game from Infinity Ward.
“We are consistently thrilled with the overwhelming response received from critics and consumers alike to the Call of Duty series, which has firmly established its home on the Xbox 360 with the game’s largest and most engaged community,” said Don Mattrick, president of the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.  “With Call of Duty: Ghosts, we have no doubt that our longtime partners, Activision and Infinity Ward, will raise the bar higher than ever before for this incredible franchise.”

 

Starting today, fans can begin pre-ordering their copy of Call of Duty: Ghosts at retail outlets worldwide.

 

“There’s no other video game property like Call of Duty.  It’s the biggest game franchise on the planet that has had some of the biggest game entertainment launches in history,” said Tony Bartel, president of GameStop. “We are very excited for the launch of Call of Duty: Ghosts, as we transition to next generation consoles.”
