1vs100

It’s been 11 days since the launch of the “1 vs 100″ beta and I must say, I really enjoy it. After the forth or fifth show it did begin to feel a bit stale, but I think any trivia game would feel that way when you’re playing it for two hours everyday. If Microsoft really pushes this Primetime Channel and actually figures out a way to add variety to their interactive programs, they might be on their way to the primetime revolution they speak about.

Just imagine: instead of your family getting together every night to watch some horrific reality show about people with 20 children or some guy with a bus full of whores, you all play a nice, fun game of trivia. Though if your family is anything like mine (or most American families), we’d taunt, curse, and scream at each other until someone punches someone in the face. Then someone always gets stabbed and rushed to the emergency room where we kiss and make up until we come home and cry and drink ourselves to sleep. The vicious cycle never ends…

But let’s be positive just for once! :-)

What do you think about the beta and more importantly, what do you think about The Primetime Channel? Does Microsoft have the power to change how the American family finds entertainment at night? Or are you nervous that they might be taking away your only escape from the harsh realities of the real world? DISCUSS!

Today is the day all of us WaW players have been waiting for! Map Pack 2 and DOUBLE XP are here RIGHT NOW, so start fragging already! I’ve gone from level 22 to 25 in just 3 matches! At this rate, I’ll be 2nd prestige by tonight!

I’ve been able to spend about an hour so far on both Banzai and Sub Pens. The former is a really beautiful map with a set up that I’d compare with the MP1 Station map (a straight shot down the middle with tunnels along the sides; the latter is a killbox, though I’d say it’s a little more tactical than Dome, the map that which this new one is compared.

I’ll be back later with more thoughts on Corrosion, and of course… NAZI ZOMBIES! See ya on Live!

Word on the street says that we might be seeing “Map Pack 2″ release as soon as tomorrow. It’s certainly a possibility considering it’s been announced for “early June”. It’s early June so put it out tomorrow, Treyarch!

Judging from the quality of Map Pack 1, I think that this new release is going to be stellar and I simply can’t wait for more Nazi Zombies :-D

If this rumor turns out being true, this weekend will see gameESC.com’s very first in-game interviews! We’ll be playing all day on Saturday and Sunday and we’ll be asking you guys what you think about the new maps! We’ll publish your thoughts and your Gamertag so you can tell our readers and the whole world-wide-web how you feel! That’s just one way that gameESC will bring true interactivity to our readers and gaming journalism as a whole. Stay tuned tuned for a date and time!
