Dark Void Flies into Stores Today

After a nice 3-day weekend, the world has started turning again and the first thing on Capcom‘s list to do is release Dark Void, which is now in stores. It’s too bad we couldn’t get it before the weekend to enjoy it without also having work hang over our heads, but whatever, we’re not bitter.

Dark Void is rated “T” for Teen and is now in stores. It is available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 at $59.99 and on Windows PC for $39.99.

Dark Void is a science-fiction, action-adventure game published by Capcom Entertainment and developed by Airtight Games. Trapped inside a universe known as “the Void,” Will is a pilot dropped in the midst of an on-going battle between “gods” known as “the Watchers” and a human rebel group known as “the Survivors”. Will soon finds himself struggling along side the Survivors as they fight to prevent the Watchers from destroying Earth.

Combining a unique blend of aerial dog-fighting, with fast-paced ground combat, Dark Void creates an exciting third-person shooter experience. Bringing a whole new sense of tension and thrill is Dark Void’s unique vertical combat system. Players now must worry about enemies from above as well as what’s in front of them. Equipped for fierce in-air combat with a powerful jetpack, players will hurtle through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in their way.

I just want to play it because there are not enough jetpack games in the world. I have been waiting since playing The Rocketeer on NES way back when. Anyways, more information on Dark Void can be found at http://www.darkvoidgame.com.

Worst Gamertag of the Day: Real TaLLeNtZ

So intimidating. The worst kind of gamertag is the one in which you try to brag about how good you are, and your specific gamertag is 75% shittier when spelling is not one of your “talentz.” (I will ignore the craptacular ‘z’. That doesn’t even deserve comment.)

The real lesson here is: if you try to say in your gamertag that you’re King Shit, don’t be surprised to get called out by your opponents when you go 3 and 10 in Team Deathmatch.

Gamertags like these are begging for heckling.


Best Gamertag of the Day: Gam3rTag FAIL

This one gets some love from us for discussing gamertags, and we love talking about ‘em here at PWNorDIE.com.  However, this gamertag does have a ’3′ in it, so there’s a bit of a value deduction for that, and it didn’t take much imagination to come up with this one. Then again, the genius of this GT might be in its self-referential nature. We’ll give this gamer the benefit of the doubt.

Gam3rTag FAIL–you’ve won jack shit from us. But now you can google your own gamertag and smile–because your tag is finally on the InterWebs.

Worst Gamertag o’ the Day: CORRUPT GOD69

This gamertag sucks bigtime because of the weak attempt to make the gamertag hardcore by invoking a religious theme and then blaspheming on it. (It’s not the blasphemy that bothers me.) Nothing screams cosmic rebellion like your gamertag. The cliche “69″ tacked onto the end really raises the Shittiness factor of this tag. “Bombed out and depleted,” to quote a wise man.

Best Gamertag o’ the Day: RedneckComandow

Slim pickins today, slim pickins. Well, this one gets the prize because of possible irony involved with the misspelling going on in “Comandow”–in conjunction with the “Redneck” part. As to whether this comedic genius is self-aware, the jury is still out.
