Gaming News: Gamespot Reviews Dead Island





From a distance, Banoi looks like a holidaymaker's paradise: a tropical island in a sparkling blue ocean, home to a luxury beach resort. Get closer, though, and you'll spot blood on the sand (and on the walls, and in the swimming pools). Zombies are shambling around by the beach bars. They're munching on corpses by the surf shack. Time to rethink that vacation.
Much like its once-idyllic location, Dead Island isn't as it first appears. It's got zombies in it, but it's not a survival horror game. It's played in a first-person perspective and has shooting, but it's not a first-person shooter. And whatever that slow-motion trailer would have you believe, it's not a stirring emotional experience. Dead Island is a schlocky, open-world action role-playing game that favours grisly melee combat above all things.

Gaming News: Gamespot Reviews Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine





If you're a Warhammer 40K fan, you've dreamed of taking up a chainsword and carving Orks into bloody chunks of flesh and bone. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine plants you in the heavy boots of an Ultramarine and lets you do just that. The viscera fly in this third-person shooter/melee hybrid. They stain the ground and splash against your screen, yet the brainless hordes continue their assault, crying out their familiar "waaagh!" before presenting themselves for slaughter. Space Marine is simple fun, and a treat for fans of the franchise--and for anyone who delights in the ceaseless bloodletting of bad guys. It is, in fact, a little too simple. As entertaining as it is, the game lacks the variety, the memorable moments, and the sense of scale of the finest shooters. After you annihilate yet another great mess of greenskins, the question arises: Is this all there is to it? With some exceptions, yes, that's all there is to it, and it's hard not to wonder what might have, should have been. But the action is so satisfying, and the atmosphere so grim, that you'll want to see the adventure through.

Gaming News: Gamespot reviews Resistance 3





Things do not look good for humanity in alternate-history 1950s America. Despite your heroic efforts as Nathan Hale in Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, the vicious Chimeran hordes have overrun the nation, and Resistance 3's campaign once again paints a stirring picture of an all-but-complete invasion. Developer Insomniac Games has proven its ability to deliver invigorating and challenging action, and it does so again here in an exciting campaign that boasts one of the most diverse and deadly arsenals around. You can play the whole affair cooperatively with another player online or off, which is a welcome addition, though it's a shame that the fantastic class-based co-op from Resistance 2 does not make a return. Fortunately, the competitive multiplayer doles out intense firefights and intriguing rewards aplenty, and it's fun to combine your unique arsenal with potent abilities to wreak havoc on your fellow humans. Resistance 3's strengths far outweigh its shortcomings, making it another great entry in this sci-fi shooter franchise.

Sneaks on the AVE: Air Jordan 1 Dave White







Props to Kicks-lab !!! very rarely do we get a treat of this magnitude. The Air Jordan 1 and Dave White, collaborating on a limited edition Air Jordan sneaker, pulling out all the stops with the sick shoebox and all the Jordan-centric detailing done in fashion.

The 23 pairs he did for the WINGS For The Future back in February was amazing in itself, but these right here? These will actually release and become attainable to the sneakerhead who has heralded the original Air Jordan and Dave White's signature sneaker artwork for years. The DW has no shortage of detailing, like the special labels behind the tongue, the elephant print, the Jordan WINGS logo (that famous poster that most you probably have hanging up on your dorm-room wall), and so on.

Check out these new detailed images and stick with BlvdAve for more info on this upcoming release!

Sneaks on the AVE: atmos x Asics Gel Lyte III






Ronnie Fieg's latest GL3 designs are building quite a bit of buzz amongst the cult following he has directly helped to expand, but there's another Asics collaboration on the way before either the 'Leatherbacks' or 'Salmon Toes'.  We're speaking, of course, about the atmos x Asics Gel Lyte III, a model first previewed on Sneaker News and on BlvdAve just under a month ago, and one that's sure to have US sneakerheads dialing up their overseas connects.  This black and gold design features the same classic suede and mesh construction that made Fieg's collabos such a hit with old school running fans, but the colorway offers a glimpse into the higher contrast possibilities.  Your best bet to get these outside of Japan is likely the 'bay, so click through to see more angles and let us know if you'll try to procure a pair.





Sneaks on the AVE: Nike ACG Air Max Conquer



Nike All Conditions Gear has its fair share of tank-like boot designs.  Models like the Goadome and its Foamdome offspring come to mind as examples of bulky weather-killers featuring Max Air cushioning, but can either of those or any other ACG model measure up to the Nike ACG Air Max Conquer?  In terms of sheer size, the answer appears to be a clear no, the Air Max Conquer ACG offering the highest silhouette we've seen on a Swooshed boot.

 They're crafted with WaterShield material to keep moisture out and a simple yet bold silhouette means that high-contrast colorways like the bred edition pictured above will attract plenty of attention.  Click through to see more angles and expect these at Nike Sportswear dealers starting in October.

Niceeeeeee !

Sneaks on the Ave: Nike Air Max 95 – Tour/Yellow Now Available




Props to Extra Butter !
Nike named its Tour Yellow shade in honor of the Tour de France general classification leader jersey. It became synonymous with Lance Armstrong's amazing comeback from cancer and subsequent domination of the sport of cycling, over 80 million (!) LIVESTRONG bracelets increasing awareness as they sparked a global fad. Lance's seven consecutive Tour victories remains one of the great achievements in the history of modern sport, so how impressive is it to consistently churn out hit after hit for over sixteen years in a row?! The Nike Air Max 95 in its OG 'grey-dient' look could be a dictionary exemplar for the word 'impeccable', this new Tour Yellow edition a twist on the ever popular bright yellow 'Neon' edition.  The Neons have been retroed a few times over the past several years and sold out each time, so act fast if you want to grab a pair of these Air Max 95s from Nike Sportswear spots or go ahead and get yours right now on eBay.
