Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - Ultimate Character Reveal (Mr. Fantastic)

by Jesse [ Tuesday, 16th of June 2009 - 03:19 PM ]

Being a genius is one thing, being a comic book genius is a whole different ball game. Think of it as having the combined intelligence of Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison and Stephen Hawkingâ€¦times 10. So to say that Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic is not just a comic book genius, but the smartest human being in the Marvel Universe should give you some understanding of just what the man is capable of. Reed was a child prodigy to say the least. His father Nathaniel Richards was a scientific genius who passed on his aptitude in various fields to Reed. Read More...

Max Payne 3 details

by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 16th of June 2009 - 02:22 AM ]

Wow, the dark brooding hero has put on a few pounds since last we saw him! Max Payne, who is now bald and sporting a pretty fierce beard, is back and in full force and gracing the cover of Game Informer.Â Not only that, the guy is addicted to pain killers. Who didn't see that one coming? Max Payne 3 takes place in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with "fully destructible environments". Which means more stuff to shoot at and blow up.Â Players will also experience "day and night cycles". Read More...

BackBreaker

by Kevin [ Monday, 15th of June 2009 - 03:42 AM ]

There are the Madden purists out there, there always will be. I cannot consider myself one of them because for all of the "innovations" EA throw into the Madden games - it will always be the same experience for me. Since EA secured the NFL license, there's been false start after false start for competitors to the gridiron throne. I give all the credit in the world to Blitz: The League and the 2k series for creating some compelling gameplay, but because of either: dated gameplay and graphics, or leaning too much on novelty gameplay, they were never able to achieve the same numbers of units sold. Here's hoping BackBreaker becomes a serious contender. Read More...

Rumor Mill: New XBOX Console to be released in 2010

by Ben Brody [ Sunday, 14th of June 2009 - 01:09 PM ]

You heard right, a new Microsoft console is allegedly on the horizon for Fall 2010, to coincide with Project Natal. Let the name-game begin (to reiterate myself I would prefer XBOX 4 but more on this later)1up.com is reporting on something that I touched on yesterday, a new game console. If 1up's reports are to be true, than a new Microsoft console will be released alongside Natal next year. While it won't be a new XBOX, it will be more like an update. Think DSi to DS lite or PSP Go to PSP. Read More...

Jack Tretton = Pissed. Alternate Title, the PS3 Slim is real, now what

by Ben Brody [ Saturday, 13th of June 2009 - 04:40 PM ]

Sure, Jack Tretton was all fun and games (pun totally intended) at this year's SCEA E3 Press Conference, but being pissed in front of several hundred journalists wouldn't serve any good purpose. In a recent interview with CNBC, Tretton, the CEO and president of SCEA, expressed major disappointment in the fact that many of Sony's big E3 announcements got leaked beforehand. The PSP Go!, the PS3 Motion Controller, Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker (the newest MGS for the PSP) and Gran Turismo (also for the PSP, and it should be noted that it had already been announced at the 2004 E3) were all leaked before the conference.

E3 Impressions: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

by Brian Bentley [ Friday, 12th of June 2009 - 10:16 AM ]

As much as one can be in awe of the Final Fantasy XIII and XIV trailers on the giant screen at Square Enixâ€™s booth at E3, I kept walking around to find something else. The classic jRPG fan in me jumped for joy at the sight of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Already out on Wii Ware, picking up and playing Final Fantasy IV: The After Years was like running into a warm hug of an old friend.This sequel, 18 years in the making, tells the story of you, the son of the paladin Cecil and the white mage Rosa, years after the end of Final Fantasy IV. The great evil of the second moon destroyed by Cecil and Rosaâ€™s party in the original has returned and it is now up to you to stop this evil and return peace to the once quiet planet. Read More...

E3 Impressions: Dante's Inferno

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 11th of June 2009 - 08:13 PM ]

Hades went to Hell for Dante's Inferno While there isn't much I am allowed to speak about from the behind closed doors showing of EA's Dante's Inferno, there is a little I can speak on as well as show. Just incase you haven't seen the new trailer or the new shots from the game. All from a mixture of the PS3, Xbox, and PSP versions. Even though the gameplay they showed off was from the PS3 version. The graphics were to crisp to be from the PSP and XBox doesn't have a Square or Triangle button, so I figured it was safe to assume there. Read More...

The Ultimate Gaming Wishlist

by Jesse [ Thursday, 11th of June 2009 - 04:01 PM ]

The inclusion of three Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur IV was a hot button issue that polarized a lot of fans. For some they were an interesting addition to the tale of souls and swords. For others they were cheap, overpowered and had no business being there. Personally, Iâ€™m a huge Star Wars fan and I loved having them in the game. I can agree that a little more tweaking should have went in to making them more balanced like most of the other characters in the roster. Everyone knows just how ridiculous fighting against Yoda was, but even still this felt like the truest adaption of lightsaber combat in a video game. Read More...

E3 Impressions: The Agency

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 10th of June 2009 - 08:25 PM ]

From An Actual Bond Villain Henchman Being in the job of henching for someone who will be taking over the globe soon via our orbital space stations (No I'm not kidding), I felt it only right to check out The Agency. Partly to see how this new MMO for the PS3 and PC will handle. Partly to see what SOE is going to be training people to do so we can be prepared for it. Also partly because I just had to turn around after getting hands on with DC Universe Online. I'm a gamer and we're lazy. Read More...

E3 Hands-On Impressions: Torchlight

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 10th of June 2009 - 03:39 PM ]

Squirreled away in the back of the Los Angeles Convention Centerâ€™s West Hall during E3, Perfect World Entertainment showed off Runic Gamesâ€™ Torchlight along with their other Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games.Â Only minutes after putting my hands on this little dungeon crawler had I decided this game had no business being in the back any longer. Â Torchlight by Runic Games is set as a Diablo-esque dungeon-crawling Action RPG, which is actually a good thing since the people behind it are some of the same people behind Diablo and Fate.Â The story is that near the small mining town of Torchlight, a rich vein of ore has been found called Ember.

E3 Impression: Final Fantasy

by Binh Nguyen [ Tuesday, 9th of June 2009 - 04:07 PM ]

In the land where Fantasy is real, and the Final chapter is never ending, Square-Enix has always been one of the main RPG makers around the world and this year at E3 they left nothing behind. During last year's E3, at the Microsoft Press Conference, Square-Enix dropped a bombshell when they announced that Final Fantasy XIII will be on the Xbox 360 (booooooâ€¦just kidding) and it sparked the ever question of if the system itself can handle a game of that magnitude. Well at E3 2009 Square-Enix showed us all what the game would look like on the Xbox 360 for the first time. Surprisingly enough the game ran fairly well as they even showed off one of the summons from the game for the Press Conference. Read More...
