Prototype 2 Weapons Trailer

prototype-2-weapons-trailer

Walking around with heavy machine guns and anti aircraft guns trying to kill everything that moves… No I am not talking about the latest Rambo movie, I am talking about the latest trailer for Prototype 2. That’s right, in this trailer James Heller is showing off his cool new toys in style by blazing hot lead where it has never gone before! One thing I don’t understand in this trailer is the silly voice saying “boom” or “NOPE”, it just sounds really weird and out of context in the trailer [...]

Crysis 3 Reveal Coming April 16

crysis-3-announcement

Fresh Crysis 3 details have been leaked via a russian link aggregation site, which claims the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC threequel will release in spring 2013. Electronic Arts was forced to acknowledge the leaks today and stated that more information will be following next week. Crysis 3 will take place in a heavily destroyed New York which has become “almost a jungle”, thus combining the settings of the first and second games. I personally hoped for a new and more creative setting. Crytek apparently promised to deliver “the best [...]

Resident Evil Captivate 2012 Trailer

resident-evil-6-captivate-2012-trailer

Capcom has moved forward the release date of Resident Evil 6 by a month pushing it to October 2nd 2012 instead of November 20th. They made the announcement at the Capcom Captivated event in Rome communicating the date change from old to new at the end of the latest trailer. The new Resident Evil 6 trailer shows a lot of new footage and some characters returning to the franchise but all in all the trailer does personally bore me a little and I hope it won’t represent what the actual [...]

Motion is Out of Control

Playstation Move

There was coffee everywhere. I guess I should rewind a bit. I was listening to a podcast recently which was discussing Valve’s Steam Box and what we want to see in the next generation of consoles. It was when they said “more motion-control support and games!” that I proceeded to damage a lot of very expensive electronics by spitting my coffee…well…yeah we covered that part. With nothing to do with all my pent up rage towards motion control, I thought “what would an angry house-wife in the 1950s do?” and [...]

assassins-creed-3-announcement

Like we announced a few days ago, tonight Ubisoft released the official Assassin’s Creed 3 launch trailer!

Ubisoft has described the game as the largest project in the company’s history. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with six other first party studios, it has been in the [...]

The battle between the Templars and Assasins will continue during the latter half of the 18th century in the new world: America.

Along with the publication of the box covers and the other images the magazine writes: “Ever since the conclusion of Assassin’s Creed II, a senior team of Ubisoft developers has been secretly toiling away on what comes next. That team aimed high, with plans to examine and [...]

Gamer Rant: My Reservations On Reserving Games

gamer-rant-pre-order-game

I have a habit of staring. Most often it’s off into the distance or down at my shoes, but occasionally my absent-minded glare leads others to think I’m interested in things (and people). Such was the case at Gamestop last week. “I see you looking at our upcoming releases. Are you interested in pre-ordering and receiving an exclusive reservation bonus?” I resisted the urge to blurt out “who are you? What’s going on?” and silently shook my head. Then it hit me. I’m almost indifferent about pre-ordering games these days. [...]

Free-to-play has become a viable strategy for several games in the past year such as Team Fortress 2 and DC Universe Online, and now Sony and Guerilla Games will gift gamers the multiplayer portion of the year-old FPS in all of its glory up to level 10. Beginning next week, players will be able to download a standalone version of Killzone 3’s multiplayer, which will include all game modes and maps, including DLC from PSN.

Exploding heads, decapitating dogs, chest kicks into blazing fire and more brutal kills are all show-cased in the latest Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City gameplay trailer. As we already know from previous trailers and reports, playing the upcoming Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will mean that you have to kill a lot of living as well as dead enemies. At least we know the possibilities in this game are endless! Capcom also announced that the PC version will be released two months after the console version which means that it [...]

Player’s Choice – A Laundry List for Next Gen Features

You wish this was real.

One of my favourite strategies for avoiding people I don’t want to talk to is to immerse myself in my phone. Most often it leads to me cursing my way through a round of Temple Run. Sometimes though, it leads to constructive thoughts – like this one. During one of my diversion tactics, I came across a tweet by Cheat Central asking gamers what we really want to see from the next generation of consoles. It was after I had typed and erased four separate answers that I realized I [...]

The Next Level – The Last Level

mass-effect-3-profile

Although 2011 was the year of the sequel as far as many franchises were concerned, there are some highly anticipated follow-ups due out this year. Headlined by Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite, expectations couldn’t be higher for two franchises so highly decorated in awards and praise. The question at hand is: will they be great because of what preceding games pioneered or will these titles find a new way to earn what the previous installments claimed? Mass Effect is adding multiplayer. Bioshock Infinite takes place in the sky. The [...]

New Far Cry 3 Trailer and Screenshots!

far-cry-3-trailer-screenshots

Ubisoft is pumping out a lot of new Far Cry 3 media and the game is looking awesome! The Ubisoft Montreal developed first person shooter Far Cry 3 was announced last year at the E3 with a promising reveal trailer. Everybody was really excited and on the other hand also relieved because the Far Cry Series was going back home onto the tropical islands after the safari trip a few years ago in Far Cry 2. Only this island is not as tropical as it might seem at first glance. [...]

Assassins Creed 3 is Underway!

assasins-creed-3

Now that all the Assassin’s Creed Revelations violence has died down we are ready to look forward to the actual official sequel title to Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed III. And it seems like the investors in Ubisoft were asking the same questions as CEO Yves Guillemot officially confirmed Assassin’s Creed III with a scheduled release date of October 30th 2012 in a conference call with investors this afternoon. He said: “Assassin’s Creed 3 is the true next generation of both the Assassin’s Creed brand and interactive entertainment/storytelling in general.” [...]

Skyrim Creation Kit on Schedule and Comes With a Surprise!

skyrim-creation-kit-surprise

Pete Hines from Bethesda posted a nice tweet on twitter to let everyone know that the upcoming Creation Kit for The Elder Scrolls Skyrim is right on schedule, as well as teasing everybody with some sort of “special surprise” that they have in store which will be included in the Creation Kit. Since then a lot of rumors have been going around the gaming world ranging from a special horse armor ’till official nude patches (which I think is going to be highly unlikely). Here is the complete tweet from [...]

Metro 2033 – Last Light Delayed and Will Depart on Platform 2013

metro-2033-last-light-delayed

As the title states, the upcoming sequel on THQ’s shooter Metro 2033 is delayed until early next year. The reason for this delay is not yet clear although it seems like THQ is trying to polish up the game a lot more than they did with the first Metro 2033 which still had a lot of bugs in it. Core games boss at THQ, Danny Bilson said he believed the shooter had what it takes to “compete with Call of Duty’s”. The question is however will they be able to [...]
