See How Dead Island Is Going To Handle

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 25th of May 2011 - 05:13 PM ]

So I thought the last video for Dead Island was going to be it before E3. Don't want to show off everything before the major convention now would we? But it would seem that the developers wanted to give Game Trailers a bit more to show off before their big E3 push. The video can be seen below. Before you move off to the video though, I'd like to make my normal comments. So bare with me. Or ignore these words and watch the clip. Read More...

Review: Brink

by Corey Dockendorf [ Monday, 23rd of May 2011 - 04:59 PM ]

Brink is a fast paced, multi-faceted first person shooter, and brought to us by Splash Damage and Bethesda Softworks. With its intuitive free-running style game play, and great stylized graphics, is it enough to keep this title from the Brink of extinction? Brink is set in the near future, where two factions battle for control of a floating city known as the ARK. The Security and The Resistance are plagued with overpopulation and poverty, and have decided that the ARK is not big enough for the both of them. There is a story line for each faction and sixteen missions total in the campaign. Read More...

Dead Island Really Showing How Paradise Can Go Wrong

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 19th of May 2011 - 05:57 PM ]

So the original trailer for the game made a huge splash and so did the exclusive behind closed doors showcasing, but for the most part it has been CGI or mostly words showing/describing how Dead Island will handle. While this is still a little bit of the case, we can glean a little more from the below screen shots and new trailer for the game. In fact some of the action shots show quite a bit that can be guessed at. The trailer on the other hand is not as informative, but it does hold a different view of the game world. Read More...

Batman Takes On FPS In Gotham City Impostors

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 17th of May 2011 - 05:27 PM ]

Here is where that pesky Batman: Arkham City multiplayer rumor got its foundation, well at least that is what I speculate. It looks like just before we get the new Arkham game we are getting Gotham City Imposters. Sounds like a weird Batman tribute white rapper band, but it is a new FPS from Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive. Wait a second. Read More...

Review: Subsonic Racin' Pro Chair

by Brian Bentley [ Monday, 16th of May 2011 - 09:37 PM ]

Who doesn’t dream of high-speed car chases and the thrill of racing? Well, the Racin’ Pro portable racing chair from Subsonic gets you just a little bit closer to that dream. Subsonic is giving players the tools to have a first class driving experience as if they were in the arcade themselves. What sets the Racin’ Pro chair apart from the competition is its portability. The chair and all of its pieces fold up into a backpack for easy transportation and storage. Setup is a breeze. Read More...

Finally Some Prototype 2 Screens

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 12th of May 2011 - 06:07 PM ]

Maybe it is just me, or because we are still a year out from launch, but the visuals for Prototype 2 don't seem to be going the way most sequels go. Usually there is some insane boost or extreme change in how things look. From the below screen I'd swear that they were take straight out of the first game. Not that it is a bad thing, but a little unexpected. I do have to say that some of these shots do have me raring to go back and play the original Prototype just because of how much fun I originally had. Read More...

Activision To Release A New Call Of Duty, More Talk Of Project Beachhead

by Corey Dockendorf [ Wednesday, 11th of May 2011 - 03:54 PM ]

Monday brought a lot of long awaited, if not expected, news for the Activision Blizzard team. One important bit of news was a new Call of Duty title that would be released before the end of this year. With Call Of Duty: Black Ops the number one selling game in the US and Europe for the past three months, it's no surprise that Activision is going all in with this one. It's a safe bet that another CoD will sell just as well if not better than its predecessors. "This year's Call Of Duty initiatives will result in the best Call Of Duty experiences we have created to date," Kotick said. Read More...

Dark Of The Moon Shows How Bumblebee Stings

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 9th of May 2011 - 10:42 PM ]

Unlike Mass Effect 3, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is still on track for its June release. I mean it better be as Activision is trying to get it out in the same window as the upcoming film as well. A delay now would be retardababy. Or at least give us the promise that is not just a film tie-in and a real follow up to War For Cybertron. Well with the being on track and all, there are a few more screen shots from the game to take a look at. You can see them below. Read More...

Mass Effect 3 Delayed

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 5th of May 2011 - 08:42 PM ]

Did you hear that? The loud grown that just flooded the world as all of the Mass Effect fans just heard that Mass Effect 3 is going to be delayed until 2012. Yea, it sucks for the fans, but with how the game looks to be shaping up, I am completely sure that the wait will be well worth it. That is supposed to be the case when they push things back isn't it? Sure it is… Below there are a few new images for ME3 and I am assuming that the delay has to go with something other than the visuals needing work. The game is looking to be extremely beautiful.

Zombie King Don't Give A Damn In Call Of The Dead

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 4th of May 2011 - 08:31 PM ]

I'll start by throwing a SPOILER alert here for all those Call Of Duty: Black Ops fans who are picking up the Escalation DLC today on the 360. Also for all those fans who are picking it up on the PS3 or PC later on. The below videos show off some of the DLC that you might want to experience firsthand and not through the internet. You've been warned, don't get pissy. If you are continuing on, then you undoubtedly wish to see what else is included in the DLC besides a few maps for multiplayer. Read More...

Bringing The Pain Like Max Payne 3

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 29th of April 2011 - 05:28 PM ]

So I'm confused now. Where are all the "demons" or drug induced hallucinations? For that matter Mark Wahlberg? That was what the franchise was all about wasn't it? The film wouldn't deviate that much would it? I defined the whole Max Payne franchise based on that film as I have never played any of the games before. That is a good reference isn't it? When have video game films ever been that far off from the original source? Read More...

Virtual Reality To An Extreme

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 22nd of April 2011 - 06:55 PM ]

In the pursuit of making games 100% immersive there are an ass ton of gadgets, gizmos and displays to make you feel truly in the middle of the action. That is what the whole motion controller craze and revitalization of 3D is all about isn't it? But no one will rest until you can fully experience the game world as if you were truly standing there and walking around it. That is what gamers enjoy isn't it? Moving around and having all of the game character's skills based on their own motor functions that don't require basic thumb presses. Read More...

Review: Portal 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 19th of April 2011 - 10:02 PM ]

So here we are again, apparently only a few months after the events of Portal (assumed from in-game interactions). Still trapped in Aperture Science. Still being tested. But importantly, Still Alive. Alive and needing a final escape from the insane AI running the facility that is now hell-bent on enacting revenge for what Chell did in the first game. Along the way making a few surprising friends to help your escape and mastery of all the Science that was going on. There is really no way to simplify the story without giving spoilers here.

Capcom Taking A Shot At God Of War With Asura's Wrath?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 14th of April 2011 - 08:43 PM ]

I get that by now it is hard to do an action game without getting the "It's Like [Insert Name]..." tagged to it, but Asura's Wrath seems to not care. Not care to the point where the basic story of the game is thus. Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. Sound REALLY close to the opening to God Of War II to me. Read More...
