Episode #10 - - 03/23/08

Posted by kod on 23rd March 2008

Happy Easter everyone, we hope you are enjoying time with the family. I’ll be doing the show solo this week because KODxBLUE & KODxBOOMEY are both with their families and my wife is working so I opted to record solo this week. This is a short show but filled with just enough to get your week started off right. I got What I’ve been playing, News, and I will be bringing back the Review segment this time around since I am solo, and alos I got a few questions from E-Mail to respond to as well as Next weeks BIG releases. Here is a recap of this week’s show.

Segment #1: What I’ve been playing:

KODxfactor: Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Eye of Judgement, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, God of War: Chains of Olympus

Segment #2: Release Date Revisions

-Myst DS hits a delay

Segment #3: News

ubisoft_logo.jpg - - March 21, 2008Ubisoft studio’s bought out the Tom Clancy License the other day which gives them the ability to create any of the Tom Clancy games without additional fees. They also gain his rights to films, books and games. The guys over at Ubisoft also passed the hint of a Tom Clancy MMO that they are currently developing. They are not releasing any information about the title just yet but they are working on one. It just leaves us wonder whether this is a returning IP or a brand new IP, which is what I’m expecting.

Guitar Hero: On Tour coming Soon!

guitar-hero-ds-20080318012228434.jpg - - March 19, 2008

Looks like the Nintendo DS is finally getting its hands on the Guitar Hero game. Although they have not released any tracks on the tour version, or release date, however they did announce that Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock will also be moving over to the DS. If you are wondering how the game will work the DS it will come packaged with it’s own peripheral that will be plugged into the GBA plug at the bottom of the system. You will hit the corresponding notes and then strum the guitar on the touch screen. You will hold the DS like a book (pictured above). More on this story as it develops.

New Halo 3 Maps on the way for the Spring

1270440046_7ac821ae3a.jpg - - March 19, 2008

Halo 3 is getting some new multiplayer maps this spring. The maps will be named Avalanche, Ghost Town, and an unknown map that will be a classic remake. The pack will be around 800 Microsoft points, and will be released on April 15th, 2008.

Prey 2 On The Radar for new Company . . .

scott-miller-interview-20080317010930084-000.jpg - - March 17, 2008

In a recent conversation with the folks over at ign.com Scott Miller released info on the brand new company Radar Group and their involvement in new IP’s and the recent announcement of Prey 2 on the way. Yes the lead character Tommy will be returning but will be more take charge and adapted to heroism of a galactic savior. Another interesting title set to release is called “Earth No More” which is not an alien game as Miller told IGN. “No aliens. The game is secretly—not anymore, I guess!—a commentary on how humankind’s misuse and abuse of our planet can come back to bite us in the ass”. The premise seems so intriguing and we are definetly looking forward to what Radar Group has to offer the game industry. So far it is looking good.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Becomes the fastest selling game in Nintendo’s Long History!

SmashBrosBrawlFinalBoxboxart_160w.jpg - - March 17, 2008

Blog Updates

Posted by kod on 11th March 2008

We here at Channel KOD would like to inform everyone that we are looking at taking different approaches to help broaden the community and appeal to everyones needs on News and reviews. As we stated in one of our podcasts we do not get games early. We receive them when the general public does. In order to keep our fans and frequent visitors up to date with what is going on in the game world we will update our blog every day with new news, and reviews as we get them in. In order for us to do so we created a NEWS page that will be updated daily along with our blogs. The news page will feature all updated news with dates attached as to when they were available. We also created a Contact page in case you wish to not register at our forums to ask us questions regarding the site or show. We are also working on a mid week review podcast which will be strictly related to reviews. That podcast will probably not launch until late March, early April. Please send us feedback, emails or comments regarding your thoughts on the new system we are implementing.

Thanks,

KODxfactor
