For a game that is over 2 years old, FEAR 2: Project Origin is a breath of fresh air.
If you want something new to play that isn’t called Call of Duty or Battlefield, this is the game for you.
While this game is a great deal at Amazon, it must also be stated that it is a very scary game. It might be nothing for those of you that regularly watch movies that are scary as hell — but for the regular people out there… this game will knock you out of your seat more than once.
It has been awhile since our last update and in that spirit we are going to start switching gears a bit more regularly. In the coming weeks you can expect to see footage from Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Borderlands, Gears of War 3, L.A. Noire and other great titles.
The best part of gaming is in the games that we sometimes forget that we have and when you pop them back into your console it is like a nostalgia takes over you. While Skyrim is still ‘new’ there are many games that people are forgetting about that can be had for $15 or less.
So, in the spirit of enjoying what you have and maybe learning how to play the games that you might have given up on we will be bringing you all sorts of new footage and information on some of the best games from the past couple years.
As we get closer to the NFL Draft and the height of Free Agency picks up steam many gamers will find a second wind for Madden NFL 12. We are currently showing the future seasons of the Cleveland Browns in Franchise Mode. As we finish the 2017 season there are many other things on tap here at NoobTubeTV.
As always, feel free to ask questions and post comments. We enjoy hearing from you.
So, Valentine’s Day is this coming Tuesday. It is in that spirit that I give you all an early gift of digital carnage.
Happy Hunting!

I noticed during my 5th season in Franchise Mode with the Browns that I could move down in the draft one spot and gain a first round pick in the next draft. While I don’t really enjoy making videos or posting blogs about Madden and some of the flaws therein, I must admit that the more I play this game and pay close attention to the trades and what I can do from a front office perspective in Franchise Mode – the more I notice exploits and flaws like this.
If you play games online chances are good that you have run into a hater… or maybe you are the hater. In either case, it should be known that there is a way in which you can respond without making yourself seem like the immature person that initiated this contact.
This video is for all of the gamers out there that play a legit game and get showered with haterade by the kids that get upset.
There are a ton of Modern Warfare 3 videos out there. We have a few on our site and channel on YouTube. However, there are also videos out there that are under the category of ‘Only In Battlefield’ – this is one of them.
While you can use C4 in MW3, you can’t do the things with it that you can in Battlefield 3 (or even Bad Company 2). Hopefully you get some new ideas about C4 after watching this video and reading this post. Keep in mind that it is a four step process to use C4 –
Equip C4 (Only in Support Class) by pressing Right on the D-Pad
Deploy (Place) C4 with Left Trigger (L1 on PS3)*
Run Away (If you can/have time)
Detonate (Blow Up) C4 with Right Trigger (R1 on PS3)*
NOTE – Special Thanks To ElvishGoalie for letting me know that my PS3 controls were mislabled.
After skipping out on Call of Duty Elite I was feeling upset that I didn’t have the new maps that Infinity Ward released to the Elite Community. After thinking about how dumb I would feel to pay $50 for two maps that are being kept from the rest of the lowly gamers out there that don’t want to continue to bend to the will of Activision’s new subscription service – I started thinking about some of the better maps I have played (DLC or not).
Modern Warfare has a habit of releasing older maps that people enjoyed (or at least they assume people enjoyed). Some of my favorite maps from old Modern Warfare games haven’t made it into MW2 or MW3 yet. The beauty of these maps are that they are on games that you can buy used for much less money than MW3. Even if you have to buy map packs in order to play some of these, it will still be cheaper (and more enjoyable) than some of the maps in the newer game(s).
My favorite map from any Modern Warfare game has to be Broadcast –
No matter the game mode, this was the best of inside/outside maps on COD4
While some maps give you the ability to do one type of strategy over another, Broadcast really allowed people to post up and snipe from either the TV station or the buildings outside. You could also run around and gun people down as you flank from the many doors and corridors inside and outside.
Another map from COD4 is Backlot
Run and Gun with all sorts of places to double back!
In Backlot, you need to master the art of grenades and stabbing to accompany your aiming skills for which-ever gun you prefer. I loved this map because it allowed me to approach every match with a new tweak to my style of play. New players find new ways to play maps and it was always a breath of fresh air to play this map because of that.
Modern Warfare 2 had its fair share of decent maps as well. One of my favorites was one of the biggest maps in any COD game – Derail.
Snipers and sprinters reign supreme! Get a AC-130 and it is game over.
It is one of the most fun and frustrating maps you will ever play. If you get into a bad run, it is really difficult to rebound… however, if you get a strong killstreak and find your ‘groove’ you will probably end up with 25+ kills. This can be said for any map really, but I really found this map to allow me to run the huge landscape and sprint-stab my way to victory by simply out-flanking the opponents.
The last map I miss is Storm
Another DLC Map that was well worth the money.
I truly enjoyed this map when I downloaded it from the Stimulus Package DLC on MW2. It is a big map with rain (it is titled ‘Storm‘ for a reason) and that is one of those things that really adds to the mood of a map. Fighting in tropical or arid places is nice, but it isn’t a true depressing/scary warzone without some rain and lightning. Not to mention the sniper/assault friendly layout gives a bit of leeway to people that prefer one over the other.
This post will be updated with gameplay from these maps to accompany the pictures.
If you are annoyed with having to wait until March to play the new maps on MW3, just go back and play the older games and enjoy some ‘new’ old maps!
Happy Hunting!
