[matt9142]

I would not buy the game if we had to pay monthly just to play online. Activison is getting very greeding

[flgonmonkey9782]

my friends little brother had egm and it was hilarious when his mom saw maximum in his room

[BurnoutSpartan]

that egm thing happened to me O_o

[YoJimBoHugabaJoe]

MAG is going to pimp slap COD

[JEFFHARDY15]

i really want it to but it seems like it might be too chaotic

[SignusMelko]

Not very hard, CoD isn't a fantastic game.

[NICOLASQQQ]

whats a MNO?

[wolffster25]

He said MMO which is also short for MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) like World of Warcraft.

[conorisawsome]

it doesn't have to be an rpg thats just what most of them are

[NICOLASQQQ]

thanks men

[vasileff]

OMG the cover on 2:17 is from the bulgarian Maxim!!!

[GRANDSHOWFANTASY]

lol this is funny

[MaverickXIII]

Raziel and Kain need a comeback!

[OuroborosChoked]

Dammit Destin... read your lines and learn how to pronounce the words BEFORE you record the episodes... It's Scrye... s+cry... like scrying... not skree...

And Scrye's no more? :(

[70s80s90sRockSongs]

activision are buch or asssholes

[kikaimaster]

asssssssssssssss

[turkeyslap234]

i want a golden axe beat-em up style remake

[DatBeastard]

I'm down for a Legacy of Kain remake. Those were some awesome games.

[turnitupproductions]

CoD subscriptions?! OH HELL NAW!

[lion575]

Fuck no more EGM?????

[Knightimex]

Call of Duty + fee = epic fail

If this is true then Cod MW2 I will not buy.

[Niektendo]

i dont buy cod waw anymore and i wont buy cod mw2 if this is true

[BrutalDon0Bg]

Paying a mothly fee is optional. It won't fuck up the game unless you really like bonus skins, expansions or betas.

[JiggyMcCue]

Fuck yeah, Legacy of Kain was so fucking good.

[Gaffacharge]

fuck activison money is all they care about, and they trying to stop burtal legend from coming out.

[BlackVirusxz]

i know, activision is full of a bunch of pricks

[shadow1854]

Only a fucking moron would play a video game that stars a rapper. Period.

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

@shadow1854 unless you play as parrapa the rapper or david hassle hoff

[DarkYoshi664]

WE NEED A NEW GEX GAME!

[dakuro1]

Haha Maxim magazines?

Lol

[HunterUniden]

yeah with maximum suck

[AnAsianKid1]

what the hell!?

dont wreck call of duty, jesus

[glitch509]

A Soul Reaver remake would be FANTASTIC! I'm a BIG fan of the Legacy of Kain series. And if anybody from the CrystalDinamics staff is reading this, please make the remake, and make it multiplatform...and take your time with it because i don't want a buggy-glitchy game.

with sincerity, Daniel

[shadow1854]

I am sure the CEO of Crystaldinamics is reading this and getting to it right away! Just because of you!

[CaRoSz]

Dammit and for a second I thought that there will be another Legacy of Kain game ;/

[hugeoutside]

Thats exactly what i thought too. Sux

[DastardProduction]

OH GOD DONT FUCK UP COD PLEASE

[kickfly222]

moqta sy6to no kraqt na sveta ko e tyi ne6to

mine too but the end of the world what is that

[Nightmare78hAlo]

I totaly agree with SugnusMelko lots of the things thta consol users have to pay we get for free

[gameivo]

hey the Maxim magazine is bulgarian ,my country HELL YEA

[Errorbgkn1]

da i az sum ot bg

[elpicos8091]

i'll pick up mag instead

[dorrato]

Tomb Raider Underworld was a decent game. Legend now thats a game that sucked balls.

[CursaKuma]

i liked legend more for some reason.. dunno why lol :P

[crammage]

destin rules

[twistedkatana1]

nothing would make me happier than a soul reaver remake.

[mizfits666]

Gex ftw.

[evilmonkeyg1]

Remake kain, that's a great idea.

[anythinggoesjoe]

wow i did not even know that EGM got cancelled -SAD

[LordAlmightyGod]

Destin's fat.

[destructorv2]

ooo... scary words...

[LordAlmightyGod]

lol i wrote it cause he said it during hard news like a month ago and i just remembered it

[destructorv2]

hehe, sry for misunderstanding. *handshake*

[LordAlmightyGod]

lol I just want him to mention it again in hard news

[metalupyourass11]

what the fuck

[mickey0209]

cod mmo lmao ........ wait r u serious well its only a rumor though

[TheShowstopper]

quick question

am i the only one who points at the screen along with desten ??? lol

[kikizzle88]

nope i do it also hahahaha

[CPainUnlimited]

No.

[french023]

Lmao. Not anymore you aren't!

[kingbooforums]

10th time

still no mention of g/s remakes

[darkslayer1996]

dude get over it. that isnt a huge announcement and plus pokemon games haven't been good its usually just a new pokemon and new moves with features

[Funklink]

No more EGM, you got stuck with MAXIM. How would your family feel if they checked the mail and found that?

[DumbDubya]

I'll take MAXIM over EGM.

[ShatteredFoX]

(on other note) I miss Gex...One of my favorite PS1 games...

[SquallLion90]

I know right! Why hasn't anyone made another Legacy of Kain!? *nerd rage*

[Jackassbobby112]

WTF!!!!!!!! NO MORE EGM!!

[jkid54321]

well I bet kids' parents must be pissed at there children if a Maxim magazine came in their mail. lol

[BotmanR]

Just today, an issue of Maxim just showed up with my name on it. Not even a letter explaining what happened, or anything! Even WCW magazine, after they got bought out by WWF/E had the courtesy to send a letter explaining about the replacement of my subscription to WWF magazine, and even gave me the choice to opt out if I wanted.

Needless to say, my copies of Maxim will be going straight in the garbage.

[Wirld]

If they charge a monthly fee for CoD series, I'm not playing anymore. $60 for live and most likely $60-$120 for CoD? No. Just no.

[regresseur]

skree magazine? you mean "skry"? .. . . ..

[stormstrader]

Yea I got ONE issue before they stopped making them.

So wtf, where's my money?

[Wirld]

Your money is with Maxim now.

[Mindtide]

Geez another subscription. So now it's paying the internet provider, Xbox live AND CoD?

Good thing I have a PS3, though being the most expensive to buy, it's the cheapest to use ^_____^

[HazedUpGuy]

i agree you got a mic and KZ2? If so add me

[assgoblin2damax]

Yeah, same seires/universe. Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 were stand alone and far better when compared to Blood Omen 2 and Defiance (which was utter trash and killed the series).

[comeintotheuzumaki]

Wow, putting a lot of faith in MAG, huh? If it comes down to a CoD MMO of MAG, I'm putting my money in the franchise that's already established itself multiple times with killer AAA titles. MAG has 256 players....and that's about all I've heard. I'm stoked for a CoD MMO.

[Finaldrive]

omg thats why i got that =_= wtf man stupid maxim

[Finaldrive]

is there a way to cancel it?

[Blastroids]

Haha I can see you having a hard time keeping a straight face at the end, not being nit picky at all

=P

[CrazyMofoCooling]

An MMO COD wow, that would suck for xbox 360 users. 2 monthly subscriptions just play online, i dont think too many people are gonna enjoy that.

[mikey11190]

MMOs(like final fantasy 11) on 360 don't need a gold subscription to play.

[CrazyMofoCooling]

but still thats if your only gonna play COD-MMO the entire time. if not we'll then your getting screwed

[Pokerit]

Call of Duty MMO?!? Makes me want to puke...

[morgangamer22]

nice

[jazzrocker13]

50 Cent 2 was actually a good game!

[ThatTallGuy55]

I always wondered if I was the only person who liked the Legacy of Kain series. Soul Reaver 1 & 2 were great. I love Blood Omen 2 and Defiance. I love all of them.

[TwistedNether17]

Same, one of if not the best game series i have ever played.

[froman46992]

mag will suck

[CrazyMofoCooling]

it'll suck so hard that everybody will play it.. just like home eh?, you xbots drive me nuts

[ColeDavis94]

guess you don't like playing with 255 other people? guess ur used to playing with 7 other halo fags right?

[roger62383]

call of duty mmo or mag...hmm looks like sony's got em by the balls there

[Bootlem]

Legacy of Kain FTW

[kinglion117]

i will not pay to play call of duty and destin calls bullshit when he sees it

[vectron12]

they better not make a subscription thing for cod

[Lepage900]

Activison COULD make a call of duty MMO or they could just make Modern Warfare 2 kick even more ass

[ShatteredFoX]

+level up system

+rebirth system

+weapons for higher levels that have higher advantage over lower levels

+new armo-'skins'

+monthly subscription.

doesn't this sound familiar...Geez...Next thing you know we'll be fighting AI soldiers online to level up your characters.

MMORPGs are becoming more real time, fast pace, and first person like.

and FPS are becoming more RTS, RPG, and MMO like.

when will we reach a point where they both just flip.

[CrazyMofoCooling]

LOL i was thinking the same thing

[P4WNstar]

Go on Activision, hold back part of the game and make us pay for it also.

Assholes

[reviewerguy265]

Killzone 2 sucks anyway.5 buttons for the cover system. Fuck that shit. Killzone 1 was a much more enjoyable game.

[assgoblin2damax]

Pass on Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver 3 instead please.

[SignusMelko]

Call of Duty is now dead. I knew this DLC would eventually kill the industry. Fuck this shit. Never giving them another dime. This is why people pirate shit.

[sMug89]

no...it's actually because it's cheaper. 100% off :D the only thing i thought of buying was steam. didn't tho. but it's kinda sad i can't get all the new tf2 weapons until somebody makes a crack, hack or something.

[N64xKING]

lol, so THATS why i got an issue of maxim the other day xD

[HeliumZombie]

All these new games make me want mah PS1 back and all the good games on that =(

And mah SNES. And the Mega Drive/Genesis. And the N64. And the Dreamcast. Baww.

[SignusMelko]

Sadly gaming has gone mainstream, and since the Xbox, good gaming has gone down the shitter. You can only find good games on the Wii and PC now.

[HeliumZombie]

Eh, the good games on the Wii are few and far between, since 3rd parties like shoving their poorly-made games that have no thought in them. PC games are pretty good, Valve seems to be getting it right with Half Life and Portal styled-games. But my computer can't play a lot of the newer games =/

PS1 had so many games I loved... Tombi, Medival, Legacy of Cain, but most of them are forgotton or been badly re-done. Shame they makers can't copy what Capcom did with MM9

Sorry for wall of text

[SignusMelko]

True, but almost every game that gets released on the 360 gets released on the PC in an expanded (and cheaper) form. Only 50 dollars per game and you don't have to spend extra on that silly Live garbage. Seems the Wii is finally getting good innovative third party support.

[mariano170395]

agree with you

[HeliumZombie]

I don't have a 360, so I don't know much about the Live payment stuff. I reckon the Wii should get some good games soon, how many more party games can be made? I'd love to see some new games for the Wii, I haven't seen many that just use the normal controls inside of motion sensitive games, a good example being Brawl. Very little motion, none if you use the Gamecube or Classic controller and that was a great game.

[artinbazikyan]

I agree

[ColeDavis94]

wtf "you can only good game on the WII"!? i guess u havnt heard of games like metal gear solid 4, fallout 3, god of war 3, call of duty , final fantasy and the list goes on

[SignusMelko]

Fallout3 was on the PC, God of War 3 is just another rehash of God of War 1, which is just quick time events and eye candy for the simple minded. Fun for a little bit, but not "a great game". Call of Duty used to be nice, before the console gamers got a hold of it, now look what's happening. Paying extra for shit the PC does for free. Final Fantasy is also on the Wii. MGS4 was a pretty nice game.

[ColeDavis94]

WOW you obviusly have no taste for games, first off u god3 isnt even out yet and its not even close to a rehas, secondly call of duty got better as it went on even though this pay thing is stupd and are u kidding me?! Final fantasy 13 isnt on wii, it couldnt come close to handeling it and final fantasy 14 is only on ps3. and "MGS4 was a pretty nice game" is the under statement of the century

[kikaimaster]

"MGS4 was a great game" is the Over statement of the century.

Stop being a god damn ignorant and respect everyones opinion.

[ColeDavis94]

me ignorant? ive taken everything u said into consideration excpet that most of it is nonsense, u need to start realizing ur not the only one with an opinion

[kikaimaster]

....?

*yawn*

[ColeDavis94]

point proven ;)

[kikaimaster]

...? not at all. you didn't say jack shit. i couldn't decipher it so i just closed the tab and yawn.

*yawn*

[ColeDavis94]

well good to see you know how to use proper grammer, its "i closed the tab and yawnED"

and my point was that u called me ignorant when your the one not even listening ot anything i say

[kikaimaster]

point proven :)

[ColeDavis94]

XD u acutelly did just prove it

[kikaimaster]

XD u acutelly did just prove it

[livingshadow29]

"How to pick up women anywhere" and "The end of the world is coming!Prepare yourself!".Damn you Maxim!It's masturbation time!

[apedomann21]

MaG!! <3:D

[Firzen8]

Instead of making those shitty Tomb Raiders they should really make Legacy of Kain remake , this game just deserves it.

[DivPax]

Or a soul reaver 3?

[Ginormous76]

So, THAT'S why I've been getting Maxim! I just thought a friend bought it for me as a gift and didn't tell me.  Thanks, Devin!

[PsychoMantis08]

gex4!

[ItzAmazingBrian]

I don't want maxim, How the fuck am I going to explain my name on the cover to my folks.

[Bucksavard28]

Show them this

[PullusPardus]

i would wish if someone would release Legacy Of Kain.

that game is truly epic.

[MartinRPGMaster]

Monthly subscription? FUCK OFF! I'll just stick with CoD4 if that were ever to happen.

[Krissdafish]

OMG WHAT?

1:39 STEVE HARRIS? (Maiden fan = Meh)

ok so there is probably more people out there with that name but hey :P

[captainclayman]

lol, i was like, wait a minute...the iron maiden guy??

[acynnon]

Another way for Activision to milk money out of us....

[rl1712]

Crystal Dynamics should bring back Gex, there hasn't been a Gex game in 10 years and get Leslie Phillips back to do the voice.

[PokeOakly96]

You mean the lizard with the gun? I suppose but I don't think those kind of games are appreciated these days. They would change too much of the game to make it "better" and up to todays standards that it will leave you dissapointed with the final result. Just like Banjo.

[littlerudi08043]

I agree, Gex was amazing, and hilarious, how dare you overlook gex Destin!

[f16134]

Legacy Of Kain FTW! Fuck Tomb Raider- I don't think there's anything left for Lara to kill.

[DreadRaptor85]

Stupid Activision.

[freaknr1]

I agree 100% Destin. Crystal Dynamics should get of their lazy ass and make a new Legacy of Kain.:-)

[zachw1014]

I agree with Destin, I WANT ANOTHER LEGACY OF KAIN GAME!!!

[cheesewheel]

Those maxim clips gave me a hard news

[kingdombrawl]

lol me 2

[Spacemuffins]

Now I know where those two issues of Maxim I got today came from. I'd rather get to choose my own magazine, but I guess this is better than nothing.

[InvaderTAK16]

I'm GLAD I didn't subscribe to EGM, I'd have a HELL of a time explaining to my parents why I'd suddenly be getting Maxim.

[commodore256]

I subscribed to egm, but my subscriptions ended months ago.

No Maxim magazine for me.

-_-

[PokeOakly96]

EGM is out of buisiness?  Oh, well. I'm perfectly happy with my Nintendo Power subscription. But, man, that must suck.

[xCrazyJayx]

Yeah activision, cause I'm sure gamers won't mind paying for COD AND XBL. (sarcasm)

[ColeDavis94]

wtf if there is a service thing for mw2 im definatly not paying for it, ill just get the game, play threw the campaign get my

$60 worth of it, xbox live was bad enough plus this. at least if i get it itll be on ps3 now

[colummcclelland90]

no dont even do that, boycott the game

[ColeDavis94]

wtf is up with everyone boycotting games now?

[colummcclelland90]

your telling me you will pay for xbox live then pay for the game then pay for a subscription?

your a mug if you would

[zacuces]

I love call of duty but activison can fuck off i pay £50 a year for xbox live im not paying any fucking more

[ColeDavis94]

wtf i never said that, did u even read the first line of my comment "im definatly not paying for it" and plus if i buy it that doesnt mean im paying for live and the subsription, i said "play threw the campaign get my $60 worth of it" and i only asked that cuz people are boycotting l4d2 as well

[SignusMelko]

Because its a good way to not let the ever growing corporations making games (instead of development companies) continue raping us.

[justiceiscoming]

You better not Activision... I WILL hurt you.

[BigD281713]

Yeah...I subscribed to EGM the exact month they went out of business...and I may or may not be receiving Maxim? Good lord...just KEEP IT! haha

[ShadowPhoenix142]

Blegh, that Call of Duty subscription makes me feel sick.

[TeamKiller555]

We already pay enough for XBL so I really doubt that CoD rumor...even for the PC version

[jack88888888888888]

Legacy of Kain is so awesome...

[OutaTime21X2]

I miss EGM

[Firestorm686]

Legacy of Kain & Soul Reaver kick major ass.

And Raziel is my favorite game character.

[xAnthonyLeong]

lol gave killzone a lower score then 50 cent thats hilarous

[SaveSaturday]

Subscriptions for Call of Duty? ugh.

[wonops]

a bit early today arn't we destin?

myah

[TheSkyDestroyer]

Damn HN is early today

[thegrassisgreen05]

awesome stuff

[Spawnus]

DUSTIN! I totally agree, Bring Legacy of Kain BACK!

[Luba1100]
