Would you cut off the end of one of your fingers to save your own kid? Could you actually do that? Tough to think about in theory isn't it? But in the intro to this new gameplay trailer for Heavy Rain, this is just what is asked of the game character. All in a very Saw type of way. Very cool and very creepy. But that of course is not all that it shows in this awesome new trailer. It also shows off, in a very movie trailer way, a bunch of the other action and a bit more on the story of the game.

With the viral campaign for The Secret World kicking off officially yesterday, why not throw another one into the mix. Right? Sony couldn't be out shined by Funcom, that and this campaign will by up and over in a matter of three weeks. Even though it is called the Four Day Experience. Looks like Capcom helped with the math here. In any instance, if you head over to www.HeavyRain. Read More...

Hold on to your seats. This latest video clip to hit the internet is going to blow your mind with the action of Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain. Watch as one of the characters goes through their morning ritual of getting ready for the day. The epicness of taking that morning piss. The great hygiene of brushing teeth and shaving. Also all the fun of showering and drying off. Oh, and drinking a bit of orange juice for healthiness. Read More...

Borderlands Review: A Cell Shaded Grind Loot. Every role playing game experience has it in abundance. It's the life's blood that drives a player to move forward. For that next precious piece of armor, that dominating piece of weaponry, or that elaborate spell scroll with it's twenty minute animation sequence. It's what the love-hate relationship of most RPGs is based on. Why I had so much fun with Borderlands in spite of this is due to the fact that Borderlands is using the RPG mechanism to compliment the existing FPS experience and not trying to cram it down the player's throats.

In the past I’ve talked about some of the things that are universally cool. Things like ninjas, kung fu billionaires, the zombie apocalypse. Now I come to another one of these staples and that is a heist. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a law-abiding citizen and I believe that people are innately good and only a very small percentage of human beings are legitimate criminals. However having said that, no matter how much I would never go along with it in real life, I have to admit that part of me would be excited to be a part of a crew that takes down scores. And with so many movies that has successfully portrayed this kind of thing, Heat, Ocean’s Eleven, Public Enemies, etc. Read More...

Paralyzed Man Takes A Walk In Virtual World Ok, so I love reading about these kinds of things that make science fiction into science fact over time. I know I've had other stories about similar things, but I found yet another one that I thought god to share with you. So this guy in Japan that has been hit with a horrible lot and has been paralyzed got hooked up, pun intended, with a device that reads his brainwaves and allows for him to manipulate data in a computer. Mainly just the data streams that are used for input and such, but still data. He merely thought about walking and was able to make an avatar in Second Life walk around the virtual world.

Emotiv EPOC™ Needs Beta Tester So I posted before about how Emotiv was bringing a controller onto the market that used brain waves to control the game. It was in the old news section before you start searching for it. There were a few videos of other reporters using the device to lift in game items or make them vanish. The ultimate Jedi training simulator. Well now it looks like they are ready to push forward with the whole thing and push it into closed beta. Read More...
