Free Mercs 2 Song

Hello there readery people, thought you'd like a nice little present tonight in the form of a lovely free MP3 download (with no bastard DRM obviously). The track we've got for you is a slightly more acoustic extended version of the "Oh No You Didn't" song featured on some of the Mercs 2 trailers. I don't know whether it actually appears in the game at all (maybe Portal/Mirror's Edge-style?) because I haven't got too far in the game yet. In fact myself and Aquatic have been trying to play co-op lately, but to no avail. Sort out your servers EA. Enough rambling, here's the tune (right click and Download As or whatever to keep):

"Oh No You Didn't" from Mercenaries 2

WWAP #5: Busy Edition

This week's been one helluva mixed bag games-wise: both the Wanderer and I have been busy with various activities, including of course Eurogamer Expo, but somehow (as ever) we've still found time to get some solid game time in.

I myself spent the beginning of the week getting to grips with Mercenaries 2: World at Flames on PS3, playing large amounts of online co-op with Aquatic and one or two other online buddies who also have the game. Post-Eurogamer and the PlayStation Store update I've been playing around in the Mirror's Edge and EndWar demos, and rather annoyingly, my Bluetooth headset died halfway through a run-through of the latter - SingStar microphones to the rescue - but at least now I have a decent excuse to get the official PlayStation one when it comes out.

Mr Aquatic has been just as busy as me, and after starting the week showing me the ropes of Mercs, he has been splitting his time between Uncharted: Drake's Fortune that he picked up the other week on the cheap, and his new best friend Dead Space. Unfortunately for him, the new LPB release date of the 5th falls directly on the day he goes to Italy for a week, which is just pure bad luck (the lucky sod), and unfortunately for me, I have no money to buy it either.

And that's just the start - I think Penny Arcade put it the best (click to see the full comic):

Although obviously the dates are different (thanks SCEE!) it's gonna be mental from here on out until Christmas. Here on the blog, this week will be just as busy as we continue with our Eurogamer reportage, and try some new things. Keep em peeled!

WWAP #4: New Arrivals Edition

Hey there, you should finally be hearing from us again on the site this week, we’ve both been laden with schoolwork and unfortunately that meant we didn’t have the time to spend working on the blog. Hopefully though, the heavy work is now past us, and we will be continuing and expanding the site in the near future. More on that soon.

The last two weeks have been quite odd games-wise. I completed Burnout Paradise to get my very first Platinum Trophy (hopefully the first of many), and then took a bit of a break -too much Burnout kills your eyes - marking the first lengthy period of time away from my PS3 since I got it.

Then of course we had the not-so-pleasant news of the LittleBigPlanet delay, made marginally easier by the fact we know we'll be playing it on Wednesday (more on that next week), but unfortunately the new release date of November 5th is the day the Wanderer is off to Italy for the week, so he'll miss the launch. :(

Later on Mercenaries 2 got patched for trophies, so the Wanderer left his collection of Network games for a bit to play, and I ordered my copy for £25 from Play.com, which came this morning. More on that one later. Oh and Dead Space just arrived in the Aquatic Household, and from what I've heard from him, he'll be waxing lyrical about that one.

So yeah, been a bit of a break from games and the blog whilst we concentrated on school - we'll be back very soon.
