Commandos Rule!!

March 2, 2005

Yeah so I have been waiting for Star Wars Republic Commando for sometime now. I finally picked up my copy last night and got some time on it. Wow this game rules!! The graphics are very cool, the gameplay is freakin sweet. I would have to say that LucasArts has released another good Star Wars title. I will try my best to get a review up on Commando. I will also be picking Brothers in Arms which is hitting store shelves today. So run by your nearest EB Games to pick up your copy.

Well seems like Bungie/Microsoft finally got a screenwriter. Bungie/Microsoft have signed a million dollar deal with screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Days Later, The Beach) to adapt the game for the big screen. Lets see who else will be on the list to direct.

The Good Ol Days

January 16, 2005

I must say that I really miss playing Battlefield Vietnam with the crew. Last night we had a reunion for old time sake. Atomz, Mott, Whoa, Undies, Rico, Furious, Crog were all present causing some mayhem. I must say the game still rules and is still a site favorite. We will definitely get together again and blow stuff up. If your interested in joining us, you can find all the info on times and dates in our Battlefield thread. We also get together via teamspeak, so hit us up and we can give you all the info. This is what Snackbar is all about folks, getting together as a community and getting some good quality gaming in. Hit us up!!

Also speaking of Battlefield, we will definitely be hooking it up with Battlefield 2 when it hits stores, so be looking for that soon.

GBA Covers RULE!!

January 10, 2005

Hey guys, just wanted to thank all of you supporting our new GBA covers feature. I think Cone and our neighbor from CAG did an outstanding job. Please continue to support our site, and also please consider giving to those who were victims of the horrible tragedy in Southeast Asia.

The following is a video feature that we did for the Halo 2 Opening at EB Games in Huebner Oaks. Our very own Pretzel filmed and edited the whole thing. Pickle used his mad skills to build a streaming flash player. You will need the newest Flash Plug-in to play this video. If you don’t have it, you can get it [url=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash]here[/url].
