“Now we have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.”

Back in the suck

Tomorrow marks a very special day for us here at Nerd Appropriate.  A day when us nerds march waste deep through the swamps of ‘Nam to rid the world of communists!   At some point tomorrow both PSN and XBL will Make Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam available for download.  Why are we excited?  Well a few of us thought that Bad Company 2 with its updated Frostbite engine was actually a better game than CODBLOPS.  We always like rooting for the underdog.

KEY FEATURES

  • 5 Multiplayer Maps.

  • Phu Bai Valley, Hill 137, Vantage Point, Cao Son Temple, and Operation Hastings. All game modes from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch, and Squad Rush) are playable on all 5 maps.

  • 15 Vietnam-era Weapons.

  • Everything is unlocked from the get go (this is also true for the launch version). One of our biggest new additions is the flame-thrower (see below). We have also made sure to give the weapons a rusty and tarnished look and feel..

Mass Effect 3: Picking apart the N7 Collector’s Edition.

Mass Effect 3 had a major showing at day 1 of the E3 convention. We’re going to comb through it all as the day progresses, but we figured we’d start with the Mass Effect 3 N7 edition contents. I’m going to be honest with you, if this edition cost $400.00 and had life sized statue of Yeoman Chambers I’d probably find some way of buying it. From what we know now, the N7 edition looks very promising, although I rarely read an art book more than once. Have a look!

Harley Quinn’s Revenge: Holy Great DLC Batman!

Like most gamers who enjoyed playing thru Batman: Arkham City, after beating the game, I put the disc aside and moved on to the next gaming experience. But once I learned of Rocksteady’s newest DLC Harley Quinn’s Revenge, I knew I’d be suiting up again and making a return trip to Gotham. After playing thru the story, so should you.

    Doesn’t seem worth 15 bucks. I’d also wager you wouldn’t usually hear Wagner on pop radio in he late 60s.

      Madson, good point about the music. I however have many fond memories of leaping to my demise with CCR blaring in the background.

    I’m definitely in the DICE camp, but I think I’m ready for something new. Between BF2:BC2, Medal of Honor multi, BF 1943 (still good), and the step-children (BF Heroes, BFOnline) I think we’re all set on the current Frostbite engine.

    Yo DICE, Imma let you finish with Vietnam, but what we really want is BF3, seriously.

      Review coming tonight after all the maps are previewed. If anyone wants to join me on live, look for me around 6pm EST.
