I had the awesome opportunity to interview Vince Scheuerman, lead singer of the band Army of Me.  Vince and I sat down and talked about the inspiration for his music, his stance on faith and more.  For more information stay tuned to Episode 144 of the Hardcore Christian Gamer Cast.  Visit Army of Me’s website here.

Oh Hi!  I just thought I would get your attention by yelling.  Did it work?  No?  Oh well, we here at HCG just wanted to keep you updated on what is happening in the world of HCG and how you can experience the fullness of what the site has to offer.  Do you know that Hardcore Christian Gamer has a podcast?  A what?  A podcast, it’s like a radio show but in our case it’s just a few guys hanging out talking about video games every week.  Sometimes it’s funny and other times it’s unbearable but people seem to like us.  You can find our podcast on iTunes and on the Zune marketplace and soon we will bring the show back to the front page of the website (pending some widget errors).

Did you know that HCG has a forum?  Yep!  A bunch of people get together and talk about games on our site, as well as prayer requests and other Christian topics.  It’s a great place to fill up your friends list no matter what gaming platform you choose to game on.  Buried deep within the forums is your own personal blog space where you can write you own blog and let the other users check it out.  You can also get the chance to have your blog posted on the front page of our site and featured for all the world to read.

We also have prayer meetings online on the PSN and Xbox Live, inquire within the forums for more information.

Are you a talented writer?  Are you looking for opportunities to get into the field of video game journalism?  Well you can get your start here, just submit your information to preacher(at)christian-gaming.com and we can get you started writing for the site.

We appreciate all of our community members here and thank you so much for making HCG what it is.  Show your support by buying a Jesus Pwns! Bumper sticker or a Jesus is My Controller sticker, inquire in the comments to find out more.

If there’s one lasting memory that many of us have from Call of Duty: World at War, it’s the Nazi-Zombie horde mode of sorts that pit you against endless waves of the undead. Well, despite clamoring from the Call of Duty community that a zombie mode of some sort would be a welcome addition to Modern Warfare 2, it appears that Infinity Ward is staying the course of hinging the game at least slightly in reality.

We got confirmation late last year that there would be no Zombie mode in the retail release of MW2, but over the weekend, while at the worldwide Call of Duty Finals Tournament, Robert Bowling from Infinity Ward dashed the last bit of hope when he said, “There will be no Nazis or zombies in any piece of Modern Warfare 2 downloadable content.”

So, there you have it. At the very least your Nazi-zombie killing habits will have to wait until the next installment of  Call of Duty, which Activision confirmed will happen later this year.

I was a big fan of UFC 09 and wish I would have played it more.  The look and feel of the game made it very hard to play Fight Night Round 4 due to the difference between button presses and joystick swinging.  If UFC 10 can improve on what was already a great game then you owe it to yourself to check this game out.  The press release is posted in the “read more” section.

That’s right, Gamestop is blowing everyone’s mind by offering a 50% trade in bonus on all games. So starting today, take in your recently achievement sucked copy of Bayonetta or BioShock 2 and receive an actually worth it deal for your trade.

Please, do yourself a favor and don’t trade in NBA 2k6. Find the newest game you have that you no longer want and put even more credits down on upcoming blockbusters such as Splinter Cell Conviction, Fall out: New Vegas, or Crackdown 2.

Seriously, you know that after you beat BioShock 2 you don’t want to keep it for the multiplayer. If you trade in Mass Effect 2, you can get a whopping $52 of credit.

For the first time ever we’re telling you, go to Gamestop!
