Splinter Cell Blacklist Collector’s Edition with RC Plane!

Posted by Brian @ 11:55 pm. Filed in: New Products, Video Game

Wow! When we started seeing games ship with RC cars, I thought that was pretty wild, but anyone can ‘drive’ a rc car. Now Ubisoft has announced the Splinter Cell Blacklist Collector’s Edition is going to come with a 3-Channel Custom RC Plane! This one blows our mind because we know not ‘anyone’ can fly a plane. It’s a dual motor ducted fan setup, and a 2.4GHz radio system. The collectors edition also comes with a graphic novel, exclusive content, and I’m sure there a game in the box somewhere, but seriously.. a plane!

Check out the video for more info!

Have you seen our other video game RC product reviews? There was the Gears of War 2 Centaur Tank Review, and the Call of Duty – Black Ops RC-XD Review.

It’s still Friday, time for one last Mystery Link.

Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road Racing Trailer 2

Posted by Brian @ 10:58 pm. Filed in: Video Game

Our friends from Mindwedge have released a new Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road Racing game trailer. Just like before there are some good shots of the giant Squiddy, and I think you can still see the Big Squid RC truck as well.

It’s a PC racing game that plays like Mario Kart mixed with some Off Road action. Several RC companies have hopped on since we joined up, so it’s cool to see the branded vehicles, billboards, and other related objects.

If you haven’t checked it out, you can download and play a demo before purchasing it. If you like it, we strongly urge that you pay the few extra $$ and get the full version, and show your support for the Mindwedge guys being cool enough to include and help promote the world of RC!

Check out the NEW trailer for the game!

Head over to the official Monster Minis Extreme webpage for screen shots, demo downloads, and purchasing! (Big Squid RC makes no money from this product, we are just helping spread the word!)

Revolt RC Game Coming to iOS

Posted by Brian @ 9:19 am. Filed in: Video Game

With everyone waiting on the iPhone 5 announcement today, it seemed like a good time to mention an upcoming iPhone game. Revolt was easily one of the best PC RC games ever made. It’s over 10 years old now, and still looks and plays good. It will be interesting to see if the game gets just a port over to the iOS platform, or if it will be new and improved.

Can’t wait for the release of Revolt? Have you seen the Monster Minis Extreme game from Mindwedge that includes our very own Squiddy in the game?

Posted by Brian @ 11:43 am. Filed in: Video Game

A while back we posted about a game called Monster Minis Extreme from Mindwedge. We have been informed that it has made its way over to Steam Greenlight. Meaning people can vote to help it get onto Steam. TONS of people use Steam, so getting Greenlighted is a big deal for these guys. If you have a moment, head on over and give it a thumbs up! It would be cool for the world to get a chance to see this game, along with all the RC sponsors in it!

So head over, and Race The Squid! You can do that you know! We have a few trucks in the game as well as an appearance from Squiddy himself!

Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road Racing Game

Posted by Brian @ 12:41 am. Filed in: Big Squid RC, Video Game

You are seeing that correctly, our own Squiddy is making his first appearance in a video game! The new Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road Racing game has been recently released by Mindwedge.

A while back we got to know the guys from Mindwedge as they are a local game company in the Chicago area, and with my connection with games, it seemed like a cool opportunity to work with a them a little on an upcoming game.
It’s a PC racing game that plays like Mario Kart mixed with some Off Road action. Several RC companies have hopped on since we joined up, so it’s cool to see the branded vehicles, billboards, and other related objects. As you can see from some of the screen shots here, there is an Official Big Squid RC vehicle, and even Squiddy himself can be seen in the game!

MotorStorm RC on PS Vita and PS3 Includes Skatepark Bashing

Posted by Brian @ 3:01 pm. Filed in: miscellaneous, video, Video Game

Probably the only reason to own a PS Vita is that the new MotorStorm RC game is FREE to download and play for North America folks for a short time. (Thanks to a Toyota and Scion promotion) The best thing about the game, is the included skatepark bashing that you can see at the beginning of the following video!

It’s an interesting looking game, but the skatepark stuff is what makes me actually want to get it. Anyone out there own a PS Vita yet? Played it? Let us know in the comments…

MotorStorm RC for PS3 and PS Vita

Posted by Brian @ 9:22 pm. Filed in: Video Game

Just announced from Evolution Studios is a new game for the PS3 and PS Vita called MotorStorm RC! MotorStorm was a huge hit on the PS3, and it’s cool to see them using all that technology to cram it into a RC version. The game promises four locations on 16 tracks.

Does it bug anyone else that nobody has made a RC game as good as Re-Volt from 1999? That game looked and played great! Anyway.. lets hope this one comes close!

Traxxas Ken Block/Dirt 3 Bundle from Gamestop!

Posted by Evan @ 1:03 pm. Filed in: In Other News, Traxxas, Video Game

I’m a pretty big rally/gymkhana fan, so pre-ordering Dirt 3 was a given. However, Gamestop has the ultimate deal for video game fans, race fans, and RC fans! You can now order Dirt 3 for PS3 or XBOX360 for only $299…pause for dramatic effect…that includes the Traxxas Ken Block Gymkhana RTR! Hit the PS3 or XBOX360 links here or above to check out the deal!

UPDATE: We reported earlier that you could get an AMAZING deal on the KB 1/16 from Traxxas with a copy of Dirt 3. Well, looks like GameStop screwed up. Word from Traxxas themselves says GameStop has some info wrong. The car being sold is the 7308 BRUSHED Ken Block not the 7309 brushless one. Also, it does NOT come with the Traxxas 2.4GHZ but a TQ AM Radio!
This makes a LOT more sense for the price. Click through to see the REAL details of what you get in the box!

Posted by Brian @ 10:47 pm. Filed in: miscellaneous, Unboxing, Video Game

So we picked up the new Activision Call of Duty BLACK OPS Prestige Edition with the RC-XD Vehicle today, and thought we’d share the unboxing photo’s.

At first glance I was pretty worried it was going to turn out like the Gears of War Centaur Tank fiasco, but there’s a chance that looks are deceiving. Enjoy the pics! Full review soon!
