E3 2012 Hands On: Darksiders II

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 11th of June 2012 - 08:54 PM ]

With a tagline of "Death Lives" you better know that I would be all over Darksiders II and boy was I at this year's E3. While THQ didn't have a huge booth to show off the game, it was being shown behind closed doors as well as playable for the first time. For the most part it plays like Darksiders, but there were some pretty cool and nice additions that I will now go over. Do not that this was not the final build of the game, but the features discussed will be making their way in. For all of those out there who played and loved Darksiders, you will be happy to know that, like mentioned the controls and movement of DS2 is almost if not exactly the same. Read More...

The State of Gaming: Publishers

by Fred Buell [ Wednesday, 30th of May 2012 - 10:18 PM ]

You all may have noticed lately the onslaught of things like Online Passes, On-Disc DLC, and DLC that have been announced and made before release. Many of you may be under the impression the publisher/developers are just being greedy and trying to squeeze out every penny from you. What you don’t know is the inner-workings behind the scenes. The publishers are losing money this gen due to higher cost of development, and lower economies. They also have long standing arrangements with stores like GameStop where if a game flops they will buy back the product at full price or eat the cost and make zero money back if the store decides to price cut it down to move inventory.

Death Strikes Again With A New Darksiders II CGI Trailer

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 18th of May 2012 - 09:21 PM ]

Way back in March we got a nice little CGI trailer for Darksiders II. It was cool and beautiful, but it was only the first part of the promotional video. Lucky for us, below we have the next part of the clip which also leaves us wanting and waiting for the continuation of Death's badassitude. Yes it's a word. Deal with it. My only hope is that these kinds of clips will take over for the cut scenes in Darksiders II, at least for major scenes. Read More...

Mercenary Ops Beta Opens

by Fred Buell [ Tuesday, 15th of May 2012 - 06:11 PM ]

Mercenary Ops; the new free-to-play 3rd person shooter MMO due out this Summer from Yingpei Games; is now accepting beta applicants. All you have to do is 'Like' their Facebook page and beta hopefuls will be selected and sent out beta codes for the promising game. Beta entrants will be allowed into the servers June 20th. I think Mercenary Ops looks great for being a F2P MMO and being based in the Unreal Engine 3 only helps. Customizable weapons and character perks put this along with other MMOs in terms of gear, but its co-op missions, boss fights and head to head style modes keep this game firmly secured in the world of shooters.

Review: The Walking Dead: Episode 1

by Matt Waitt [ Thursday, 26th of April 2012 - 10:02 PM ]

Developed and Published by Telltale Games this episodic game takes place within The Walking Dead universe. While some characters share the names of those in the comic and TV show, it is a whole new story. The Walking Dead is a point and click game with "precision" quick-time events. Instead of simply hitting a button you have to aim in a specific spot and then hit a button. I sat down to play The Walking Dead expecting a quick little hour or so session but I soon found myself sucked in to the characters and their story. I actually finished the game in one session.

PAX East Hands-On: Borderlands 2

by Matt Waitt [ Wednesday, 11th of April 2012 - 04:17 PM ]

Borderlands 2 is a massive improvement from the first installment. The controls are super smooth and tight. The feeling of level grinding seems to have disappeared, thankfully. Having other colors in the game, rather than just brown, has really showed off the rich and beautiful landscape that the world of Pandora has to offer. I got to play as the new Siren in the game: Maya. Her special ability stuns her enemies in a blackish purple vortex allowing you to get off some free shots. Read More...

PAX East Hands-On: Spec Ops: The Line

by Matt Waitt [ Tuesday, 10th of April 2012 - 09:48 PM ]

At PAX East I got to try out a little bit of the single player campaign for Spec Ops: The Line, and had a great interview with one of the developers. I really enjoyed the demo at PAX East. It was very smooth and had responsive controls. There events where you had a chance to negotiate with your enemies, but if things went sour you had to reap the consequences. For instance one group of enemies had a hostage and was threatening to kill him. Instead of waiting for them to assassinate him, I made a quick decision to kill the enemies and save my team mate's life. Read More...

Aggrocast Episode Ninety Five: We're Mad As Hell

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 4th of April 2012 - 04:37 PM ]

…and we're not gonna take it anymore. That may only be slightly paraphrasing the movie Network, but then again, we're gamers, so we'll probably continue to "take it." We're hoping you take and enjoy our latest episode of the Aggrocast as Corey, Brian and Matt talk about the latest news, including the recent announcement for Amazon Instant Video on PS3. The guys also talk about their latest adventures in gaming - including World of Warcraft, iPad games, SNES games, Wheels of Destruction and Mass Effect 2. Our Community Spotlight this week focuses on our support for Aggrogamer's own Chief Editor, David Becker, as he attempts to break gender-stereotypes and win the Maxim Gamer Girl contest.

This BioShock Infinite Heavy Hitter Is Screaming For Vengeance

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 28th of March 2012 - 09:23 PM ]

Here we go with the final "Heavy Hitter" for BioShock Infinite. Yep, the fourth and final that they are revealing as a hardcore enemy that is just below sub-boss and above mook in the game. We've gone over the Motorized Patriot, the Handyman and the Boys of Silence so far. Now we get to look at the Siren. Sounds kind of nice at first, then you find out that she essentially a healer that can resurrect all of the enemies you've already killed with but a scream. I'm not sure if this is going to be one of those creatures that inspire the panic to kill right away or just plain get annoying after killing everything in a room only to have her bring them all back.

LittleBigPlanet Karting Now Officially Announced

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 26th of March 2012 - 04:07 PM ]

Well it only took a little over a month, but LittleBigPlanet Karting can now be considered announced. It has a new trailer and screens to say so as well even though it was pretty much "leaked" a while back. I know…I know… But when we all first heard about the game and saw the first images it was outside the pre-defined PR timeline for when it was to be truly announced. That is now. Ok, so we all knew it was coming for a while now but at least we do get a nice new trailer and a few screens to show off the game and where it is in production. Read More...

Finally Some Game Play For The Walking Dead Video Game

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Sunday, 25th of March 2012 - 06:29 PM ]

We recently were given a look at The Walking Dead's game play via Telltale's debut trailer but it wasn't much more than a few seconds. A few seconds of very little compared to what the latest episode of Playing Dead has to show us. While the episode is about 15 minutes long, if you jump to the 7 minute mark you will get a glimpse at about 3 minutes of the game. Spoiler, it looks like it handles just as one would expect from Telltale. Take a watch. Read More...

Time To Gawk At The View Darksiders II Will Be Giving Us

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 22nd of March 2012 - 09:12 PM ]

I have to admit that every time there is something new for Darksiders II, visually, I find it a little hard to actually write something about it. I actually have a loss of words because the visuals of the clips and screens speak volumes more than I ever could and I am normally very long winded. This also makes me have to admit that when there is new stuff there is a delay on posting about it. Given all that, we have a new CGI Trailer as well as a newish Dev Diary for the game. The diary showing more or less the scale of the game world and some of the environments. Read More...

BioShock Infinite Using Silent Alarms Now With Their New Heavy Hitter

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 21st of March 2012 - 09:46 PM ]

Last week we got a few videos showing a few of the suped-up enemies of BioShock Infinite. The Handyman and Motorized Patriot to be specific. Keeping things going here, Irrational has brought us yet another "Heavy Hitter" from the game. These ones are called the Boys of Silence. At first glance they don't seem to imposing and only a bit on the bizarre side of things. This is BioShock after all. What is interesting her though is that these seem to be what will be taking over for those damned alarms from the first two titles. Read More...

You know you do. Don't lie. It's why you clicked in here. So by all means we have a new short trailer for The Walking Dead Video Game from Telltale.

But here is a look at what we can kind of look forward to for the game. Here take a look and enjoy. I am sure that it kind of leaves you wanting. Read More...

BioShock Infinite Bringing Out The Heavy Hitters

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 14th of March 2012 - 09:13 PM ]

With the official release date set now is as good of time as any to start the news and information flowing for BioShock Infinite. I for one am glad because I was getting tired of watching the same E3 2011 footage re-hashed and produced as something new. So I thank you Irrational for giving us a look at the first two new enemies we will be facing in the game amongst what looks like a decent sized list. First up, in case you didn't see it last week, is the Motorized Patriot. I'll admit when I first saw this thing I was a little underwhelmed at first. Read More...
