Bionic Commando on 1 Hour Free Trial

Come in today and give Bionic Commando a free 1 hour trial on one of our 4 Xbox 360's.
About Bionic Commando:
The first true sequel to the classic 1988 Nintendo Entertainment System original, Bionic Commando sees the return of the bionically-enhanced Nathan "Rad" Spencer, voiced by Mike Patton, the former lead singer of Faith No More. Time has not been kind to Spencer: 10 years after his heroic defeat of the Imperials in the original game, he has been betrayed by the government he swore to serve, imprisoned for crimes he didn't commit, and sentenced to death.
On the very day of Spencer's execution, terrorists detonate a massive experimental weapon in Ascension City, unleashing an intense earthquake that has turned the city into rubble and wiped out its population. With the terrain in ruins and the city's air defense grid now in the control of a massive terrorist force whose goal remains unclear, the FSA have only one option left - a behind-the-lines assault. The perfect job for a Bionic Commando.
Bionic Commando transposes the swing-and-shoot gameplay of the 8-bit original to a stunning 3D environment of towering buildings, suspended roadways and monorails, deep canyons and sheer rock faces, where every environment is scalable using swinging, scaling, climbing and wall-walking techniques.

Lich King Post-Mortem

It was truly worth the wait for this expansion! Far more encompassing than it's predecessor, with a cohesiveness that ties it all in together. After that all we can say is: DEATH KNIGHT. Does anything else really need be said. Well there is a lot more, but it does take some time to get your levels, so while some of the crew (Head 2 Head Games own Cool Patrol) who stayed for the all-nighter have accomplished their goal in gaining level 71, the saga for Cool Patrol will continue for some time.

The Renovations are DONE!!! (mostly)

THE BASEMENT IS OPEN!!
We have finished our renovations and our basement facilities are now open to the public. The consoles have been moved into the basement to make room for more Internet and BYOC computers upstairs, coming in August. In our basement facilities, we now offer the following services to all customers:
CONSOLE GAMING:
We have expanded our console selection to 13 stations, increased the number of games available to over 300, and added a HD TV. Birthday Parties have tons of space to celebrate, with tons of games and consoles to choose from. Consoles in the basement include PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Ps2, Game Cube, and Xbox. There is something for everyone!
COMPUTER UPGRADES AND REPAIRS:
With over 12 years of experience repairing and configuring our computers, we are now brining our expertise directly to out customers. With a hourly rate of $40, and no repair at more than $120 (labour only), even an older computer is worth fixing. Most repairs will be done in under 48 hours, including installation of new components! Call or come in to see the cost of your next upgrade, and what used parts & peripherals we have on sale.
TABLE TOP GAMING:
AD& D, Warhammer, Miniatures, Board Games, Magic the Gathering, and Card Games. We have the space for them all, with two 4 X 8 tables with up to 8 chairs at each table. With all the food choices, your Role-playing session can go on all night long!!
GAME TRADES & SALES:
Bring in your used console games, and trade them for time on either the consoles or the computers. Looking for a game? Give us a call and see if we have it in stock.

Motivation for Participation in our Renovation!

Our relentless renovation workforce continues to attack our basement with endless vigor. Walls have been destroyed! Wires exposed! Couches torn asunder!
If you have been in the store lately, you’ve probably heard some of the loud, almost INHUMAN sounds coming from the bowels of our establishment.
But these machinations do not come without their difficulties. Amidst the dust and din, we have found ourselves wavering in our resolve. Perhaps “The console cavern” ISN’T the best name for our subterranean fun zone.
So, we turn to you, our loyal customers. Perhaps YOU can help us give name to that which currently exists, nameless.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. It is downstairs, not up. Perhaps your name could suit the “downstairs feel”. This probably means that naming it “Pie in the sky” or “Hovering chamber which is not downstairs at all” is probably a bad idea.
2. We are planning on putting our console gaming down here. This means that the Xbox, Playstation and Wii will be the proprietary source of entertainment. This also means that we will not be growing flowers, so “The Flower Shoppe” is also not likely to be a winning entry.
3. You shouldn’t use profanity. I won’t provide an example, you should just KNOW BETTER.
The person who submits the best name for the basement will not only win free time for use in our store, but will also have the satisfaction of knowing that they named the new area, and had a direct impact on the store!
Entries can be submitted in store, or online. For online submissions, visit our forums at:
http://head2headgames.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=453&PN=1&TPN=1
Good luck, and thanks for your continued patronage!

EGE advances to the online Intel 5K CoD 2 Tournament

Electronic Gaming Evolution and NOTFRENCH played 3 matches in the final round of Head 2 Head Games Intel 5K CoD 2 LAN Tournament.
Match 1 : The teams began the final by playing on Burgundy, with EGE winning in quick 13 - 3 victory. It was thought that EGE would quickly win the second match and it would be game over.
Match 2: A coin toss determined that Dawnville would be the map of choice. NOTFRENCH took the lead in the first half, and kept it in the second for a 13 - 11 victory.
Match 3: The final match was played on Toujane, and EGE took the first half 9 - 2. NOTFRENCH fought hard, but was not able to come back and win. EGE won with a 13 - 6 victory. EGE returns Sunday to play online to win part of $5000. GO EGE!!!

Intel Call of Duty 2 5K Open report

3 teams have come to Head 2 Head Games to play in our Intel Call of Duty 2 5K Open Tournament. Electronic Gaming Evolution drove all the way from Quebec, NOTFRENCH came together last evening, and Game Clerks are staff from Head 2 Head Games.
The first match pitted EGE versus Game Clerks on Toujane, where the Game Clerks quickly realized that they need to spend more time practising their l337 skills if they want to continue to play CoD2. EGE won the match 13 - 0, but they kept playing the full 24 rounds, and Game Clerks won the 20th round!!
The Second match pitted Game Clerks versus NOTFRENCH on Railyard, and NOTFRENCH took the lead from the onset. The rounds went much longer as Game Clerks worked on new strategies. NOTFRENCH won the match 13 - 0, but again they kept playing and Game Clerks won a round before the end.
EGE and NOTFRENCH are now meeting to play a best 2 of 3 for the finals.

Match 1: S.O.B.'s vs Legion = Winner S.O.B's
Details: S.O.B's won 3 rounds to 1 due in no small part to the fact that only one Legion member showed up - RICH (we were down a man as well: Timo!). The match that we lost was due to the fact that a non-Legion member managed to get into the match and disrupt things - Vice. Props go out to RICH for playing a good game regardless.

Tournament recap from the Intel 5K CS 1.6 Event.

5 teams descended upon Head 2 Head Games to compete in the Intel 5K CS 1.6 Tournament. NLi, Kobra Kai Gaming, Hygo, Toohigh, and Game Face competed in a double elimination tournament that saw many interesting matches.
The first match pitted NLi versus Hygo against each other, while the other 3 teams received a bye. NLi won 16 – 11 on Inferno. Kobra Kai Gaming met the winner NLi in the next match, while Toohigh and Game Face played out their first match. NLi continued their winning streak, sending Kobra Kai Gaming to the lower bracket in a decisive16 – 4 win. Game Face worked hard to win their 16 – 13 match versus Toohigh, which placed them against NLi in the upper final, where NLi once again beat their competition in a 16 – 5 victory.
In the lower bracket, Toohigh won 16 – 5 over Kobra Kai Gaming, making Kobra Kai the first to be eliminated from the tournament. Toohigh moved on to play Hygo, who had a BYE in their first lower bracket match. In a close game, Hygo defeated Toohigh 16 – 9, making Toohigh the 4th placed team in the tournament.
After their defeat at the hands of NLi, Game Face moved to the Lower bracket finals to play Hygo, who had just beat Toohigh. In a very closely contested match, Hygo showed their skills by besting Game Face 16 – 10, making it the longest match of the tournament. Hygo then met NLi in the Tournament finals, knowing they would have to win not 1 but 2 games to move onto Sunday’s online final. NLi, after a 3 hour break while the lower bracket played out, was still in the zone, and efficiently won the tournament in a 16 – 2 victory.
In the Online finals on Sunday, NLi competed against 7 other teams from Game Centers around North America. Although they gave it their best effort, the were not able to win in either of their matches, but left the tournament $300 richer for their efforts.
Congrats to all the teams who participated and we hope to see you back at one of our future tournaments.
