Hellblade It has been confirmed that Hellblade will be releasing during this year and that Hellblade will be hitting the two announced platforms at the same time Due to all of the weird speculation and rumors that the internet has loved for Hellblade there was some concern that the game was going to be delayed until 2017 as Ninja Theory stated that they had to scrap a few things in the recent months. They have come out and explained that and again are out to give us all an update on Hellblade and when it will be released for the PS4 and PC. You know because many gamers out there are hell-bent on stating false things based on an obscure or un-understood quote. Read More...

Hellblade The latest developer diary for Hellblade shows off how Senua, the protagonist of Hellblade, has had a body change to better fit their goals When they said they were taking things back to development for Hellblade they really mean it. In the latest developer diary for Hellblade Ninja Theory shows off how they took the original character the designed for the "vertical slice" and gave Senua a complete overhaul to make us see here as more realistic character when Hellblade finally makes it to the PS4. Still no word on when that will be but they sure as Hells are keeping us all informed on Hellblade is shaping up and the huge differences we can expect in the final product than where we saw it before. As I said this is another developer diary and not really new gameplay for Hellblade so those of you who don't happen to care about how your games are made and skip on down the road. Read More...

A new Environment Art Style Test for Hellblade has been released to show off what some of the levels and areas in Hellblade may end up looking like Last week people were worried that Hellblade was canceled or being completely re-tooled. This week we have another great look at how the production process that Hellblade is going through is coming along. In this instance it is via a nice, short video that Ninja Theory has put out there to show off how some of the game's levels could end up looking when all is said and done. I believe they labeled it all as in-game concept art to let everyone know what Hellblade is currently looking like as the art team moves toward the final versions of all of the assets and lighting effects we will be experiencing when Hellblade hits the PS4.

Misconceptions of the design process that Hellblade is going through and Tweets from the developer has led many to think Hellblade has been canceled when it is in full swing Concerns about Hellblade being canceled have popped up due to a few of the most recent updates on the development process that Ninja Theory is currently at. To be specific they stated via Twitter that "A vertical slice is a testbed of ideas, not part of the final game. It has been retired and we have started #Hellblade production afresh. Read More...

A bit of new gameplay for Hellblade has made its way online in the form of B-Roll footage but it does show off a few things for Hellblade Gamescom may be over now but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep looking for more news to come out and thus is the case for Hellblade. It looks like some of the B-Roll footage for the game that will be used for all of the "preferred media's" video spotlights for Hellblade has been "leaked" online and then officially posted by Ninja Theory to make sure we all saw this PS4 beauty showing off the elegance of madness. Remember this is what Hellblade is about to some degree as well as mixing in Celtic Mythologies and stories to give us more than a lecture on insanity. That being the other major theme for Hellblade if you know your game history here. Read More...

The first bit of gameplay for Hellblade has been released as well as a bit on Hellblade's story and how it will be looking at mental illness We've been waiting a while for Hellblade to have some gameplay to show off and now the wait is over. The first gameplay trailer is here just in time for E3 and to go along with it and its amazingness Ninja Theory is also giving a taste of what the game's story is going to be all about. I have yet to be let down by a single game that they have brought to market and given what is shown below and talked about Hellblade does not look like it is going to end that streak. I think it has to do with the team always seeming to try and have some thought provoking elements in their games, even if the original story is lifted from other sources, and Hellblade is looking to actually tackle one of my favorite issues with humanity: Mental Illness.

A new developer diary has been released for Hellblade and focuses on how there is only one environment artist creating the world of the game When Hellblade was announced for the PS4 back during E3 it looked like Ninja Theory had a huge undertaking they were working toward. The world of Hellblade looked insanely rich to the point that it looked as if all of their other titles could have fit into the game's world here. That is why it is a bit hard to believe their latest developer diary which shows that the world of Hellblade is being built by one artist with a lot of input all around. Yes, you read that, there is only one environmental artist working on this title. Read More...

I remember my first laptop computer as if it were only a few years ago. It was probably about three inches think, felt like 20 lbs in heft, and could barely keep up with even most of the 'eMachines' currently on the market. That was a gaming laptop from 2004 mind you, but it was top of the line and one of the most powerful out there at the time. Now, almost a decade later we are getting a new gaming laptop that is not only about as powerful as a desktop, but just a bit thinner than a dime when shut and lighter than the smallest weights in my gym. If you haven't already skipped to the video below, what we have here is Razor's new Blade and Blade Pro systems currently available for pre-order. Read More...

South Peak Interactive was on hand promoting the upcoming hack & slash game, entitled X-Blades.  It’s developed by Gaijin Entertainment & TopWare Interactive, and features a scantily clad main character, named Ayumi.  The basic premise of the game is a button masher with an attractive female protagonist.  I had been looking forward to this game for a long time, so I will share my impressions of the game with you.   It was a very easy game to pick up and just jumping in and having fun killing the monsters.

Mount & Blade Beta More of a blurb more than news I guess, but I figured I'd let you fans of trying out Betas know about this. Basically, if you like medieval type games, here is the link for Mount & Blade. Oh, and for a bit more, below be ye olde website blurb about the game.
