Uncharted 3 Beta Giveaway Tomorrow June 30, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site News.add a comment
Playstation Plus expire or just have no interest in signing up? Don’t have a copy of inFamous 2 and want to get into the Uncharted 3 Beta test? Maniac has got you covered.
At some point between 12 Midnight tonight and 12 Midnight tomorrow I will release a PSN key which will enable whoever redeems it first to have access to the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta, and all the fun that goes along with it.
The key will be valid for redemption until June 14th, but remember it will go to the first person who redeems it in the Playstation Store. You will need a Playstation 3 with the latest firmware and a valid Playstation Network account to redeem the code. Good luck to everyone!
Halo Reach Star Nameplate Giveaway June 23, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site News.17 comments
Update 3: All nameplates claimed. Congrats to everyone who got one.
Update 2: Okay, I think Bungie is doing something this week which is making my giveaway redundant. This week is leading up to Bungie Day (7/7) and because this is the last Bungie day with them in control of Halo, they’re going all out for Halo players giving out things like their blue flame helmet and the Bungie nameplate.
A person sent me a comment with his tag and before I could give him his star thanked me for getting it! (Thanks for the love, Ken, but I didn’t do that! I think Bungie did).
My guess is anyone who logs into their Bungie.net profiles to check to see if they have the star nameplate, that’s what’ll unlock them the star nameplate right now. Yeah I know it sucks I’m not the one giving it to you but if for any reason what I said didn’t work and you want the star post a comment and I’ll work my magic on it.
Update: Okay I’ve changed my mind, lets do this today, first four valid Reach connected gamertags to comment here get Star Nameplates!
Okay, after doing the PS3-user exclusive giveaway yesterday I want my Xbox 360 readers to know they have not been forgotten and I’m doing something special for all of them too. This giveaway will be a little different, and the giveaway in question will be for players of the game Halo Reach.
I will be giving away the super exclusive Star Nameplate, which will show up next to your gamertag in all Halo Reach activities as your badge of honor. While there are other nameplates possible for Halo Reach players to obtain, such as the various Halo logos for having played earlier Halo games on live (or registering a Halo 1 PC/Mac CD-Key), being a Bungie Pro member, or playing Marathon XBLA, the Star cannot be obtained right now unless you own an iOS device, and I’m sure there are plenty out there that don’t.
So here are the rules. In order to get the star, you’ll have to submit to me your valid Xbox Live gamertag as a comment in the giveaway thread. The first four people to submit valid tags will get the star unlocked, and they will find it selectable on their Bungie.net profiles.
Now, here’s the tricky part. You HAVE to be a Halo Reach player with a valid gamertag to get anything, and if you’ve never played Halo Reach while connected to Live before, regardless of how long you’ve had your Live account, I will not be able to unlock the star for you and I will give it to the next gamertag in line. Also, if you happen to give me a gamertag that is not connected to Live, but is the same as one that is and has played Reach, well you’re going to give your star to someone else.
So good luck!
inFamous 2 Lightning Hook Code June 22, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site News.1 comment so far
Well guys, here it is, the code you’ve been waiting all day for. Now remember, if you preordered inFamous 2 at GameStop or have the inFamous 2 Hero Edition, you already have the lightning hook, so there’s no need to redeem this.
The code can be redeemed by any valid Playstation Network Account in the Playstation Store redeem code section, located in the upper right corner of the store with a big 12. It can only be redeemed once, so whoever gets it redeemed first gets it. This code was made for the North American store so I have no idea if it will work overseas.
CODE REDEEMED
I only ask is for whoever does redeem this to please post a comment on the site or to my twitter feed it was redeemed so I can remove it or someone post a comment if the code has been marked already redeemed.
Since people are asking, tomorrow I plan to announce what my giveaway plans for Xbox 360 users will be.
inFamous 2 Lightning Hook Giveaway June 21, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site News.3 comments
PS3 users have a chance at something special tomorrow. I’ve got a free Lightning Hook DLC code for inFamous 2. This code could only have been obtained if you pre-ordered the game from GameStop or bought the inFamous 2 Hero Edition. However the code will work for anyone with a valid PSN account and will be playable in any copy of the game.
I will be givng the code out some time tomorrow, between Midnight tonight and Midnight tomorrow night. The first person to redeem it in the Playstation Store gets it.
You Xbox 360 users don’t worry, I got something to giveaway for you too coming up.
E3 Day One Introduction June 11, 2011
Posted by Maniac in Site News, Site Videos.add a comment
Hey everybody, I just got back from E3 and can finally start sorting though the incredible amount of footage I shot during the event, and finally have the chance to sit down and start writing up all the previews of the show I have done (and trust me I saw plenty).
Some of those previews I posted up on the time, or shot during the day with the intention to upload them that day. This is one of those videos. This was meant to be a short introduction that I planned to post up on YouTube right after I shot it. Unfortunatly I could not have imagined that even though I had 5 full bars of 3G coverage in the area, the 3G service would be as dead as Julius Caesar, and the release of this video had to be delayed until I got back. But I want you all to see it, on it’s own, as it was intended to be, just as an introduction to my experience.
I shot a full length documentary of my trip in the meantime, and I will be working on getting that all edited and uploaded for next week. I also have a very full plate of MORE videos to shoot (inFamous 2 Hero Edition unboxing) now that I’m back. So this site is going to be VERY active in the next few days, so stick around, and keep checking in, likely there will be something new and fantastic every time you check it!

Well, I’m going to E3 guys, it’s been known for a while, but just what am I going to do there and what do we know about it so far? diskreader117 and I discuss what gameXcess.net is going to be doing at E3, and what we know so far about the show.
We break some news that CD Projekt RED is going to have a secret reveal, talk about the Project Cafe from Nintendo, UBI’s new Assasin’s Creed, and make fun of Randy Pitchford.
