    Fox News has an interesting story on one developer who is not afraid to go head-to-head with Blizzard's Diablo III - in fact their game features the ultimate demon fighter (sans the actual fighting with demons). While Blizzard was launching one of the biggest games of the year, Christian software developer Lightside Games was launching a new Facebook game featuring Jesus called Journey of Jesus: The Calling.read more

  • Two new Halo 4 enemies Revealed ‘Watcher and Crawler’

    14 May 2012 | 1:54 pm
    On this Friday, a leak from the McFarlane toys packaging for Halo 4 reveals two new enemies.  The images are shown at the back of a Halo 4 series 1 toy by All Games Beta. The new mysterious enemies are called “Watcher” and “Crawler”. The Crawler looks like a hellhound stuck its head in a vat of boiling yellow glow-stick liquid, while the Watcher appears to be a moth-mounted, flying beetle creature. Joystiq 343 Industy needs to stop these kinds of leaks for spoilers. As you might know, Halo 4 is coming out on November 6, 2012 on Xbox 360. The first series of Halo 4 toys is projected…

  • Diablo III Released

    Slashdot: Games
    Soulskill
    15 May 2012 | 1:18 pm
    Almost 12 years after the launch of its predecessor, Diablo III has now been released. The game went live last night with over 8,000 midnight launch parties across the world. 2,000,000 players showed up for the beta test prior to launch, including 300,000 concurrently during an open beta weekend, but even so, the login servers struggled for the first few hours after launch. Diablo III had been in the works for quite some time — another example of Blizzard's notoriously long development cycle — and game director Jay Wilson said it was in "polish mode" for the past two years. "One…

    Joel and Ellie, the two unlikely heroes starring in The Last of Us, are aren't beyond committing some justified vehicular manslaughter. In a freshly-revealed cut-scene from the action-survival title that's in development at Naughty Dog, two things are evident: the world the protagonists find themselves in is dangerous, and the developer behind the Uncharted series hasn't lost its chops when it comes to creating cinematics.We've already touched on the game's backstory, the fact that the game won't utilize a regenerating health system, and that it will take place in Pittsburgh.

  • Diablo 3 diary: The monk hits level 10, starts crafting

    The road to hell is gradually getting more difficult. In the first installment of my monk's Diablo III diary, Darkartiste may have gotten a bit cocky as early enemies were relatively easy. Exploring and killing were entertaining, but the norm.Then it happened. I died. I sprung a trap in the crypts below the cemetery while searching for the crown of the Skeleton King Leoric. My monk seemed so powerful with his Deadly Reach and Lashing Tail Kick, able to dispatch as many as 16 enemies in a single fight. But even powerful characters get overwhelmed by sheer numbers, and in this case, lousy…

    Strategy Informer has a preview of Torchlight II. Quote: Torchlight II, currently in the closed beta testing stage, allows up to six people to party up online. However, I get the feeling that Runic haven’t yet decided on the maximum amount of players for the final product, as none of their press materials explicitly state what it is. Runic co-founder Max Schaefer did go on record last year stating that the final limit would be between 4-8. What is certain though is that the finished product will allow friends to play over LAN as well as solo offline, unlike Blizzard's upcoming Diablo III…

    John Dupras
    16 May 2012 | 12:47 pm
    The iOS platform is hardly lacking for games that allow you to send living things to their inevitable death, and Gratuitous Space Battles [ $9.99 (HD)] satisfies the tactical itch with a capital T, while managing to bring some big eye candy and a light sense of humor to compensate you for all your hours spent constructing. When you first launch the app, you’re driven towards a fairly anemic tutorial, which hardly deserves the name. A game like GSB has a lot of meat, layered on top of more meat, with a crust of meat at the center - a simple text-driven tutorial cannot even begin to prepare…

    Hey, it's Wednesday again which means precisely one thing to iOS gamers: A landslide of newly released video games are almost here. The star of the show this week definitely seems to be the second episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Or, at least, that's what I'm most excited to sink my proverbial teeth into. Like all previous weeks, these games are released in New Zealand first, then a few hours later they hit Asian markets. A while later, they spread across Europe before finally being released in the USA at 11:00 PM Eastern. At that point, all of these links should automagically start working.

  • 'LostWinds2: Winters of The Melodias' Review - A Gorgeous Wind-powered Adventure

    16 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    Like the bad boy that every girl finds impossible to resist, Frontier Developments' sequel to their platform-adventure LostWinds [ $3.99 ] from last year isn't always easy to control. Precision is not LostWinds2: Winter of the Melodias' [ $3.99 ] best feature. With the sheer amount of things that LostWinds2 can occasionally demand of its players, this would normally be almost unforgivable but much like the hypothetical rapscallion, LostWinds2 is just too charming to give up. Set shortly after the events of the first game, LostWinds2 follows the continuing adventures of the chubby-cheeked…

    When we first found out about Kotomon [ $2.99 ] recently, I was excited for the possibilities especially considering that some of the developers at Monstars consisted of folks from Q Entertainment (Lumines, Rez). Unfortunately, reputation alone is not enough to carry this simple music platformer with iffy controls. Kotomon follows the adventures of a cute red monster of the same name as he searches the world for other monsters. Gameplay is divided into levels and has you navigating Kotomon and his companions across the terrain, battling monsters of various strengths until you reach a…

  • AdventureQuest Worlds getting a line of action figures

    16 May 2012 | 1:35 pm
    Here’s some news you might not have expected to hear – AdventureQuest Worlds is getting its own line of action figures. Of course, the free-to-play, browser-based MMO is doing pretty well, so maybe you did know this was coming. Still, I was surprised to hear it. Especially since these figures won’t just be items you can buy directly from Artix Entertainment’s website. Toys R Us will also be carrying both figures.If you’re actually playing AdventureQuest Worlds, you may want to keep an eye out for Artix and Sepulchure. Each figure comes with five unique, in-game…

    Everyone’s buzzing about Project X Zone in Japan. It’s a action/strategy crossover RPG for the 3DS featuring famous characters from Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega games all working together for the greater good. In short, it sounds like it has the potential to be really good. However, the latest announcements will certainly start raising people’s expectations. Famitsu has just revealed that Monolith Soft is the game’s developer. This is exceptionally good news as Monolith Soft has been responsible for a number of fantastic RPGs in recent years.

Let’s hope some of the people who are really excited about Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance also have $54.99 to drop on the Mark of Mastery Edition. To start, the Mark of Mastery Edition of Kingdom Hearts 3D comes with the game and a storage box.

    When Skyrim was released, there wasn’t an easy way to access the world’s map outside of the game. Sure Bethesda threw in decent sized physical map with the game, but we required a more interactive solution. That’s when XiD Labs came up with Dragon Shout, an interactive Skyrim map for iOS devices. Dragon Shout allows Skyrim players to make notes, set markers and share their findings with other Skyrim players. ZeniMax Media now sees Dragon Shout as a nuisance and sent its developer a cease and desist letter at the end of April.“Hey all, just received a notice from…

  • FIFA 13 Shrewdly Aims for the Back of the Net

    15 May 2012 | 7:47 pm
    FIFA 12 was one of the strongest, most rewarding sports titles I've ever played, so while en route to EA's First Look Event at their studio in Vancouver, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from FIFA 13. Crazy new ball physics? Improved pitch patterns? A Steve Kean-branded survival mode? The trinity of gameplay innovations from 12 (Tactical Defending, Impact Engine, Precision Dribbling) seemed to be an impossible act to follow. And, suffice it to say, EA isn't doing another headline-grabbing revolution. Instead, they plan to cultivate FIFA 12's triumph via intricate refinement. A series…

    There are few better feelings than being genuinely surprised by something that you had no idea even existed. Such was the case a few hours ago when I stumbled upon the teaser trailer for Dreadline, an upcoming PC game from Eerie Canal Entertainment. Turns out this is the freshman title by Eerie Canal, a new team comprised of veterans from Irrational Games and Harmonix who worked on titles like BioShock and Rock Band. One could assume that Dreadline would include Objectivism via plastic instruments, but then one would be terribly wrong. The game places you in the role of a team of creatures…

  • Battlefield Getting a Call of Duty Elite-Style Service Makes Perfect Sense

    14 May 2012 | 8:46 pm
    Downloadable content has been one of the most popular trends this generation. Last year Activision tried to find out if a market exists for a subscription service for a non-MMO with Call of Duty Elite. As the latest numbers peg Elite subscriptions -- which cost $50 a year, or were free with Modern Warfare 3's Hardened Edition -- at 2 million, an audience does apparently exist that is willing to fork over money for more than just a la carte DLC. Electronic Arts is now rumored to be preparing a premium service for the Battlefield series which is said to be launching in only a few weeks' time.

  • Resistance Burning Skies' Multiplayer Feels Like a Small Version of Traditional FPS Shooter Gameplay

    14 May 2012 | 6:34 pm
    Resistance Burning Skies presents another interesting facet on top of an issue I generally notice first with PSP titles and now in certain Vita ones: it's an admirable example of making a home console level experience fit onto a portable device, but it's not necessarily a good example of a great portable game. From playing the multiplayer for a couple hours, it already excels at feeling like a close approximation of a good console shooter, but its features seem to run slightly counter to the system's portable nature. Burning Skies features the same bleak and oppressive aesthetic as 2011's…

The series of single screen levels progresses nicely, even if the jumps require a bit too much precision. Still, Recursion worth playing over and over again.

Bakufu shies away from the complicated clichés like using screwdrivers to pry open panels and finding power cords to plug in computers. All the keys and doors are symbol-coded, and there's no pixel-hunting, either; what little challenge this developer's games contain lies in deciphering the simple yet clever little clues to open the safes, which is fine for someone wanting a quick and easy escape but not so much for a…

Regardless of what we think, though, Nintendo is set to put the Aqua Blue 3DS out to pasture soon. No specific date has been given, but with all the other 3DS colors that Nintendo's pumping out, we're geussing that the turquiose one has proven to be pretty unpopular in the grand scheme of things.

Set in a post-WWIII San Francisco, private detective Tex Murphy is something of a future fanboy who, inspired by the films of Bogart and such, deliberately models his fashion sense after the hard boiled private eyes of the 40s.

    Fluffeh writes "Yesterday the Australian Division of GAME saw an email from their Marketing Manager confirming that the 95-store chain has gone into voluntary administration. PriceWaterhouseCoopers partner Kate Warwick said, 'Initially we will continue to trade all stores, operating these on as close to a "business as usual" mode as possible whilst we get a clearer understanding of the current state of the business and actively pursue options to secure its future.' It also seems that GAME is having a bit of a fire sale, with many titles, including quite a few new releases, now in a $5-$74…

    Oh man, do I love to hunt. Oh man, do I love to play hunting games. Oh man, do I hate it when baboons attack me. Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011 for the Wii is an overall good game — a different type of hunting game than I am use to, but that is a good thing. The hunting genre is plagued by less than boring games, while Activision makes it more exciting.

    Whenever I think of indie gaming, especially from the mid-’90s, my mind always goes to game developer Jeff Vogel. And I’ve been a fan of his work ever since I played Exile II: Crystal Souls on the old 7.5 system Mac. I have always thought highly of his work. Jump forward nearly 15 years, and Vogel has rebooted his signature game for the second time. That game is Avernum: Escape from the Pit. And as I played this game I wondered, why is every developer and publisher returning to their back catalogue?

    New York legalizing gay marriage troubles many people because it challenges what it means for people to be “a couple.” This was something Atlus was smart enough to use in its “Are you committed” trailer months ago for its provocatively styled game Catherine. So is the game “fluff” waiting to rot out your eyes, or is it an intelligent commentary on relationships?

    This was my father to me, a boy of 6, watching the original Indiana Jones on the big screen. Our hero, Indy, was making his way slowly through a black temple in a dark jungle, only to find a shaft of light, strangely penetrating in this mysterious place. Indy reaches his whip forward grimly and releases the trap harmlessly as spikes carrying a corpse thrust forward to my eager and horrified eyes.

    Having now seen this new cinematic for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, I feel like a jerk for not allowing myself to get more excited for the game. The initial reveal was terrific from a technical perspective, but I wasn't particularly sold on the premise. So long, cautious optimism! We're done here. I'd rather not spoil anything on the off chance that some of you are trying to go on a media blackout for The Last of Us, which I totally respect. If not, though, just click the play button already.

The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion opens two new fronts against the Reapers: Firebase Jade's jungle reservoir and Firebase Goddess on Thessia. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons as well as equipment, consumables, and six new classes: Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel,…

  • Art of Video Games at the Smithsonian

    Raph
    4 Apr 2012 | 7:00 pm
    I went to the Art of Video Games exhibit at the Smithsonian today. A few pics: All in all, it was basically a very well-put-together survey, with nothing really too provocative or illuminating to people really immersed in it all. But I would guess that for many of the adults there who were mostly reminiscing about the Commodore 64 (based on what I overheard), some of the discussion in the video loops on narrative and consequence was probably quite novel.Definitely a narratologically tilted set of videos btw. Kudos to Chris Melissinos (who called me when he saw me tweeting from the exhibit!)…

  • Bitcoins can be stolen

    Edward Castronova
    14 May 2012 | 10:19 am
    Couple of reports from the world of the virtual currency Bitcoin indicate that it has become a hacker target. A BTC is worth about $5 at the moment; the thefts are in the 6-digit area in terms of dollars. What do we have here? A real-world currency who holders are subject to extraordinary attacks? Or is it a virtual currency that is necessarily more vulnerable to security risks? Or, are the holders of Bitcoin small-scale operations with insufficient security? I can't tell; I don't know enough about security. I wonder how this hacker-theft rate compares to the theft rate for…

    I thought reader must be interested in the forthcoming title from Edward Elgar:  Virtual Economies and Financial Crime, by Dr. Clare Chambers Jones. Here is the description from the publisher: Virtual economies and financial crime are ever-growing, increasingly significant facets to banking, finance and anti-money laundering regulations on an international scale. In this pathbreaking and timely book, these two important issues are explored together for the first time in the same place. Clare Chambers-Jones examines the jurisprudential elements of cyber law in the context of virtual economic…

  • Is it gambling?

    Edward Castronova
    7 May 2012 | 12:45 pm
    So, you do something in a virtual world and you get a random item. Say, you kill a dragon. The item has real-world value. You obtained it as a result of three things: You paid or registered to play the game, you performed an action that may have required skill or maybe not, and the system executed a random item generation process. Still, it's not gambling. Right? It's monster-raiding. OK, now you go into a social network and do something and you get a random virtual item of nontrivial value. Say, you 'Liked' somebody's pic and you got a free virtual rose. Or you wrote…

  • Two is a good number of founders

    jeremyliew
    14 May 2012 | 7:23 pm
    I’ve long held that two is a good number of (co)founders. One is difficult because you don’t have a true thought partner to talk to, or to tell you when you might be being crazy. To everyone else, you’re the CEO and the boss, and that power dynamic mitigates what they are willing to tell you. Three can lead to a “two on one” situation, which can be destabilizing. It doesn’t always have to be unstable, but it is a risk. Four or more and the equity cuts start getting pretty small for cofounders. Douglas Merrill (CEO of Zestcash, one of our portfolio…

    Congratulations to Lightspeed portfolio company XtremIO and founders Ehud, Shuki, and Yaron for their acquisition which was announced today.  This is another reminder of just how fast flash has gone from promising consumer technology to mainstream enterprise building block – primarily fueled by the proliferation of virtualization, BI, and Big Data coupled with the rapid decline in flash pricing. We made our first investment in an enterprise flash company (Pliant Technology) in 2007; in 2008 we blogged about the potential for this technology to disrupt the storage market and in 2010…

    The advent and growth of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and, now, Pinterest has heralded a new era in the Internet where people are connected to one another to share, discover, curate, and collaborate. The mobile applications are fast becoming the primary vehicle to access what I call “connected services” to discover people, information and entertainment. However unlike the intent oriented desktop Internet search, the mobile platform is about discovery. Thus the application developers would have to think differently about getting user attention and engagement. User Time…

    Just read an interesting article about some research coming out of the Stanford Business School that suggests that feelings of guilt may signal leadership potential. Some excerpts below, but I’d urge you to click through and read the whole thing – it is pretty short. When we think of a typical leader, most of us picture a person who’s sociable and upbeat. But new research puts a wrinkle in that stereotype, revealing an unexpected sign of leadership potential: the tendency to feel guilty. “Guilt-prone people tend to carry a strong sense of responsibility to others, and that…

    EA has started teasing details of this year's Fifa instalment with news on improved AI and greater physical competitionIf Sunday's match between Manchester City and QPR had taken place within Fifa, it would have been dismissed by the participants as a fanciful and unrealistic flourish. "Fifa always makes it easier to score in extra time," we would have claimed. But it is also a sign that, as the years pass, the real sport and its most successful virtual companion are moving ever closer together. On Tuesday, EA Sports revealed the first few details of Fifa 13, arriving in the autumn for (I kid…

And sure enough, as the 23.01 deadline passed and BattleNet servers opened worldwide, literally thousands of gamers started a mad dash to install the game, promptly crashing servers … as it did again the following day.It may have been a delay rather than a disaster – and it certainly didn't stop me racing through the first act before breakfast – but it did reflect many people's top pre-launch concern: Diablo 3's need to maintain a constant internet connection.

    By Jeffrey Matulef Capcom has announced "EX-Troopers," a spinoff of their Lost Planet series for PS3 and 3DS. This information comes courtesy of Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu (translated via Andriasang), where it's revealed that the game will be developed by Monster Hunter producer, Shintaro Kojima. While EX-Troopers takes place in the same world as Lost Planet, it will have a completely different anime visual style and be centered around a school. Also, it will use "manga demo" cutscenes ala the forthcoming Gravity Rush. Despite this change in tone, EX-Troopers will still be a shooter,…

It's been a little quiet since we last heard from The Last of Us back during its VGA debut six months ago, but this in-game cutscene gives us a little more of the flavor of the next game from the Uncharted Studio. What we get: leads Joel and Ellie dealing with post-apocalyptic traffic congestion followed by something a little more dire. And all set to Hank Williams' "Alone and Forsaken," for added flavor. Here's the synopsis for the game: The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and…

    Activision Blizzard's long-awaited sequel is out in the wild, but bugs and server issues are keeping some gamers from being able to play it. The user reviews over on Metacritic aren't always especially instructive if you want some kind of assessment of a game, but they're useful if you want to know how the community feels about a game (whether it's out or not). And right now, some very vocal Diablo III fans aren't feeling to high on the game, which launched yesterday (or Tuesday at Midnight, if you're the stay-up-and-stay-in-line type).* It's not just on Metacritic, of course (if we kept…

    Zelda - one of the best game series ever, yet all attempts at something similar on the iPhone have been dissapointing. Could My Little Hero be the game to change this? The trailer below seems to suggest so: It looks incredibly similar to the recent Nintendo DS Zelda games, with a rather less angular feeling to the level layouts. I think it could have done with a bit more colour and texture to the environments, but everything looks cohesive. Hopefully the lack of detail will work ok once I get to play it! My Little Hero is only 69p so I am going to download it and give it a go. Have you played…

Unfortunately it's just scenery - although there is a glimpse of someone that looks like Jade in one of the shots. Fingers crossed I get to play it at some stage! In case you haven't seen it before - there's some gameplay footage here as well. Looks like it combines the best elements of some of my other top games (Mirrors Edge, Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed to name a few).

The trailer shows the player in all sorts of situations. Riding a wolf in the snow, falling from collapsing bridges and cliff faces, hiding as a giant robot rips a building from it's foundations (my favorite bit ), attempting to destroy all manner of huge mechanical enemies, stepping into a controllable mech suit and causing vast amounts of explosions and destruction. My kind of game then!

    Domu: A Child's Dream is a single volume manga whose original run in Young Magazine finished only months before the beginning of its author (Katsuhiro Otomo)'s more famous contribution to the same magazine: Akira. It's a very interesting read that uses many of the themes and visual stylings that would be dramatically expanded upon in Akira. On its own, Domu is a highly enjoyable speculative romp focusing on dark atmosphere and action sequences of cinematic execution. In what is assumed to be contemporary Tokyo, the Tsutsumi Housing Complex has experienced a series of unexplained deaths…

    Every year, the team at EA Sports and Tiburon attempt to improve on the success of past Madden NFL games with a series of innovations and new features sure to entice the franchise’s veteran consumers. Each year is a little different than the last; past seasons have focused on such important facets as the quarterback position, improved tackling, and the title’s implementation of physics. Madden NFL 13, on the other hand, is turning its focus towards presentation this year, a fact that is most clearly illustrated in this edition of their regular feature, the Playbook, that discusses…

  • Blizzard Is Kinda Maybe Making Console Diablo 3

    Justin Weinblatt
    15 May 2012 | 9:20 pm
    Blizzard has been a bit coy about their plans regarding a console version of Diablo.  They’ve beaten around the bush regarding their plans of bringing the hit PC franchise to consoles, and they’ve even begun hiring people for a console version.  According to Director Jay Wilson, this doesn’t mean that the game is actually being made.  In an interview with Gamasutra, Wilson said, “Yeah. We haven’t officially announced it, because we’re not ‘experimenting. We tell people that basically we’re experimenting, because it helps us hire people. The…

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II Launches This Week

    Drew Robbins
    15 May 2012 | 8:56 pm
    In the typical year, a Sonic the Hedgehog release is greeted with as much glee as it is hesitance. Of course, in the typical year, fans of the franchise are reeling from the previous year’s Sonic the Hedgehog title that can only be (very) generously referred to as mediocre. In 2011, Sonic Generations delivered on so many promises that the alleged Sonic Cycle was obliterated and the typical resistance associated with the series disappeared just as quickly. This can only be positive for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, the second and final entry in the episodic product, which launches at…

Anyway, Crysis 3 returns to New York City where we find original protagonist Prophet battling Ceph remnants and probably more evil corporate security…

Controversial indie game Dear Esther (or is it a walking tour, I'm not sure which?) is half off, going for $4.99. If you're in the mood for something a little more traditional, the tower defense classic Plants vs. Zombies is 75% off, or a measly $2.49. Considering the amount of gameplay you can get out of Plants vs. Zombies, that's quite a steal.

It has been a good few years since the game was released and the entire multiplayer landscape has changed drastically, thanks to the likes of Modern Warfare and Battlefield 3. Now comes Starhawk, the spiritual successor to Warhawk. Different characters, a different game world and a drastically updated graphics engine ensure it feels modern. But can the gameplay style still hold its own or are there other multiplayer delights to be had elsewhere? Story time…

Although we don't yet know many copies have been downloaded on day one, just checking out the amount of ratings it's had (which score it as four-and-a-half stars), we've got a fair idea that it's been extremely popular. At our last count, it had more than 127,000 user ratings, which is staggering as it's only been out a few hours. Obviously, not all of those may have downloaded the game, and fewer of them…

Episode II features the more familiar physics that drive Sonic through these brilliantly colorful worlds. There is no need for an adjustment period. That said, it makes this second episode feel more in line with a direct sequel than an extension. At $15, it’s bulky on price too, especially considering the countless times Episode I saw a discount. Level designs and improvements all around, however, do make this follow-up an…

Most gave up on the studios simulations after something like NFL Football on the SNES, an unplayable Mode 7 disgrace that never should have seen release. But, there was something magical once they hit the PlayStation. This was an era where attitude was everything, where game designers wanted their games to have both a visual and playful edge. In comes the XXL series, and off we go. NBA In the Zone, long…

GAME has entered arbitration, meaning it’s time to pay off creditors with the assets they have. A person who gave them $60 is almost meaningless in a business where millions change hands between companies. The highest owed creditors are paid first, and when the funds run out, those that remain simply don’t get paid. That’s the side the customers fall on. Recourse? Not much. GAME is under no…

    In the third annual MLB 2K12 $1 million perfect game competition, the rules changed. Instead of one person being the first to accomplish the feat, the game was designed to assign a score to a perfect game. It wasn’t enough to knock down every batter, but you had to do it against overpowered statistical competition. The top scorers were invited to a tournament, and that winner became the one holding the novelty check. But, despite deep reporting by Gawker media sites, evidence stacked against them, and growing disdain by the gaming community, 2K won’t admit that one of the…

    GameStop has sold digital content for ages, or at least the funds to unlock said digital content. One thing was always missing on that disheveled rack of PC games buried between the Gamecube and PSP games though: Steam. As 0f right now, you can add credits to your Steam account, sans credit card, at any GameStop location. Just to get it out of the way, no, you cannot trade them back in when your done, immediately eliminating the need for 90% of the comments on this story.

Lain was there, too, but you might not have even heard of her. Lain doesn't have any kung-fu or gunplay (wait, stay here!) but it does dive deep into the same philosophy regarding the nature of our existence as The Matrix does; I would say that it goes deeper than The Matrix does. This is the opening to the anime, with one of my favorite OP themes, period. Lain is available on Funimation's official Youtube channel, which also…

  • EA Returns More Official DICE Servers To Battlefield 3

    Lorenzo Winfrey
    15 May 2012 | 8:35 pm
    EA has finally responded to the complaints of Battlefield 3 players by returning several additional DICE-controlled servers to rotation on the game’s multiplayer. Last week, they removed the majority of official servers from rotation on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. From that point, players were only able to use privately rented servers that other players had rented or hope they could connect to a handful of EA-run servers. At the time EA went on to clarify that DICE-controlled servers were no longer appearing as available because they had been rented out to players. They said that they…

  • Verizon Wireless Set To Launch The Droid Incredible 4G LTE For About $150, After Rebate

    14 May 2012 | 9:09 pm
    Whether or not this is the most anticipated device for Verizon Wireless this year is not a question. Yes there are other devices headed Big Red’s way, but this is a solid mid-level (maybe more) device for more than the average user. Moreover, if competitively priced, the Droid Incredible 4G LTE could be in the homes of many. But what will that price be at launch? According to multiple reports, though the purchase price is not known officially, it appears that this latest leaked document shows the Droid Incredible 4G LTE with a $50 rebate. If earlier rumors hold true, that should place…

  • ‘South Park’ Game Delayed Until 2013

    John Jacques
    16 May 2012 | 12:47 pm
    Fans of the upcoming South Park game will be in for more of a wait than expected, with THQ announcing in their fiscal reports that the release date of the game is now resting in the fourth quarter 2013. Granted, in the eyes of investors this is a very good Holiday window to be in, but not everyone will enjoy the extra year’s worth of wait to get their hands the product of such a much beloved – and infamous – franchise. The South Park game (recently re-titled South Park: The Stick of Truth) was expected to have a late 2012 release, so it isn’t surprising that THQ let…

It may have been fine to alter the Ridge Racer formula a bit, but in the end what’s offered in Ridge Racer Unbounded lacks…

    There’s not too many games set on the moon, and if they are it’s usually in some quirky fashion – certainly not a fairly serious turn-based strategy experience. Bucking the trend is Moon Rising, which slips quite neatly into said genre. Set in 2099, the moon has become a place of high interest for Earth’s super powers due to the mining of its hidden resource, Helium-3. As you can guess, this has led to there being quite a battle on the moon (such a safe place for one), and this is where you come in; attempting to take over five key areas for mining Helium-3. The…

These are typically played with lots of people in a big space and are very fun. Tom Sennett and Salil Malkan agree on the fun factor of these games but found themselves annoyed by the four player limits to these, with many people having to wait their turn. Waiting is boring, so they’ve made Row Row Row Remote which allows anyone with a smartphone to drop in and out of the game and it seems that it supports a lot of players, though the maximum number…

I’m in!” crowed one voice on vent, only to be followed moments later, “Oh, now I’ve got an error.” “I made it to the character creation screen!” exulted another.

The first two games were released on the original Xbox and the PS2 so it’s been a while.

    After its initial release for PC, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has arrived on the XBOX 360, much to the delight of console gamers everywhere. The PC release had critics and fans alike comparing to 2011’s game of the year, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are these comparisons worthy or would The Witcher 2 fall short of the hype? In The Witcher 2, like its predecessor, you control Geralt of Rivia, one of the last remaining witchers. Witchers are humans that were genetically modified at a young age and give special skills in order to defeat monsters. Depending on what you do with Geralt,…

    9 May 2012 | 12:00 pm
    Immediately upon viewing Marvel’s The Avengers, it is easy to see why Joss Whedon was the only person for the job of directing this behemoth of a Hollywood blockbuster. After all, Whedon is revered in all sci-fi/comic/pop culture circles as a man who knows the subject matter and delivers in a product, and The Avengers is no different. While fans may have gotten tired of the teasers and may have grown to feel as if every other Marvel superhero picture (i.e. Iron Man 1 & 2, Thor, Captain America) were just build up projects for this mega-blockbuster, now that the finished product is…

  • Remembering Adam Yauch [Music]

    Jeff Clemens
    7 May 2012 | 12:01 pm
    Sad news on Friday, May 4th when it was announced that after fighting cancer since 2009, Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch (MCA) had died. Yauch had been diagnosed with a cancerous parotid gland and lymph node and began treatment in 2009. The arts community as a whole has lost a great person and he will be missed. Gamerwok is dedicating this post today to the memory of MCA. The Beastie Boys began in 1979 as a hardcore punk band but switched to hip hop in 1984. Touring with Madonna in 1985 the band released their first debut album, License to Ill. This album has been called a hip hop…

  • Game Of Thrones Review: Creating More Problems For Westeros

    Joe Juba
    15 May 2012 | 12:10 pm
    The setting for A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin (and its accompanying HBO series, Game of Thrones) is bleak. Betrayal, murder, and underhanded scheming are major components of the franchise’s winning formula. These themes make Westeros an intriguing and dangerous place, a fact that is accurately reflected in this RPG from Cyanide Studios. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience is littered with technical and design issues so frustrating that they must have come from the unhinged mind of Mad King Aerys II. Like the Mad King’s reign, this spin on Martin’s…

  • Elder Scrolls Online Faction Profile: Daggerfall Covenant

    Ben Reeves
    14 May 2012 | 3:00 pm
    During the second era, in a time before any previous Elder Scrolls game, the world of Tamriel descended into a four-way war. In an attempt to conquer the continent, the Imperials – natives to the province of Cyrodiil – made a deal with the Daedric prince Molag Bal. At the beginning of Elder Scrolls Online, players will join one of three factions that not only oppose the Imperials and Molag Bal’s undead army, but will also battle one another for the imperial throne. Three different alliances. Three different philosophies. Three different ways to approach the game. Which will…

  • Max Payne 3 Review: The New, Same Old Payne

    Andrew Reiner
    14 May 2012 | 11:17 am
    Max Payne 3’s opening shots bear no resemblance to the series’ iconic imagery of a black trench coat flapping in the wind as a hail of bullets whiz by in slow motion. Instead, the game begins with three snapshots of a much different Max – sitting alone in an apartment with a bottle of whiskey at his side; standing bald, bearded, and bloodied over a horribly mangled body; and the most shocking portrait of all, dressed for show in an expensive suit as he mingles with the rich. Despite his radically different appearances, Max’s state-of-mind is always the same:…

  • Game Of Thrones Launch Trailer

    16 May 2012 | 6:15 am
    As excited as I am about Cyanide's Game of Thrones RPG, which I'm sure you all already know is based on A Song of Fire and Ice by George R. R. Martin, chances are I'll be sat in the cinema enjoying Ridley Scott's Prometheus when it's released on June 1st. The game follows Mors Westford, a long serving ranger of the Night's Watch, and Alester Sarwyck, a priest of R'hllor, on their adventures around Westeros. The jury's still out as to whether this one's going to be any good and the trailer doesn't really give much away, but I'm sure fans of the books and TV series'll be out in force to pick up…

  • The Fez Effect: Dissension

    Geeksweatblog@gmail.com (Lorenzo Veloria)
    30 Apr 2012 | 10:59 pm
    A charming and imaginative puzzle-platformer, Fez is a lot of things. Smart and witty comes to mind – as does shamelessly adorable. It epitomizes the very best qualities of a fledgling medium, a perfect example of the still undefined sums of parts assumed exhausted. In an industry where technological one-upsmanship is, for better or worse, the prime directive, Fez proves that there is still a marquee solely for ingenuity by literally turning things on their side. It’s impressive for everything it tries to be and everything it is, but Fez is not fun. “You’re wrong.

    In the last few days, the Assassin’s Creed speculation has been swirling around the internet.  Starting with a then unconfirmed, leaked image of the Assassin’s Creed III protagonist, it all culminated this morning over at GameInformer when they confirmed the premise of the upcoming title.  There aren’t many details regarding the plot, characters or storyline at this point — but the released images may be more telling than you might think. – Warning: Here be history – On the cover of the latest Game Informer, we see an image of the newest descendant,…

    It’s inevitable; franchises get stale.  What once was a promising idea that sparked creativity and tantalized audiences has slowly faded from relevance, becoming a past tense reference of admiration, if you’re lucky.  When this happens, and it will, what do you do?  Do you say your fond farewells and let that idea fade away?  Or do you try to save it in hopes of rekindling the spark that started it all?  If you chose the latter – Congratulations!  You’ve just taken the first step in rebooting a franchise.

    Exhibit: AGo onto any games forum and you’ll encounter them. People who believe that they’re right, never wrong, that their say is the most important, and that everyone else is an idiot. An owner of a rival console is, in their eyes, a moron. These people are the champions of Xbox, PlayStation and Wii. These people are fanboys and their consoles are always best. Whenever someone inexperienced in games forums ventures onto a forum website, they’re usually subjected to mouthfuls of abuse by people who think that they know better.

    I recently bought a copy of an old PS game. Rainbow Six. £4 and still sealed. You may think I’ve lost my mind, but the reason I bought this game is quite simple. Research. Now when I mentioned research in my last article, there were bits I didn’t mention. Research includes me buying games and trying them out, and giving myself as large a gaming experience as possible, in order to give me subjects to write about. It annoys the hell out of my missus when I tell her I’m going on my PS or Xbox for an hour or two in the name of “research”. The research I needed to do this…

This week has been a welcome change from map designing as I’ve been adding enemies to the area around the first town in game (Derwent) as well as adding in a couple of characters the player can interact with. There are around 30 ready made sprites for enemy characters and this number can be expanded by changing the colour of each sprite. Want a Fire Slime to go in Hellpit Cave? You can do it very easily by sliding the hue bar. It’s a handy feature which helps to increase the number of enemies you can create for your party to fight although…

It’s a walk-up, without a dishwasher, and the laundry is down the street, and my room is just barely big enough for my bed and my clothes, but there’s a gorgeous skylight over my bed.

As development continued on Stop That Hero!, I worried about continuing to fund it with my savings before I actually ran out. I was aware of Kickstarter, since I backed Addicube and most recently Bhaloidam by Corvus Elrod, and I also backed Anthony Salter’s Inaria on 8-bit Funding. All of which were successfully funded, by the way, and I’m proud to have been a part of the reason why. It seemed to make…

As a casual strategy game, the game left players with a fun and exciting way to be evil and have fun at the same time. Still, I’ve received feedback over the months that have led me to question some of the original design decisions I’ve made, some of which might be leaving money on the table, so to speak. So, the good news is that I’m taking all of the great stuff I’ve done so far, and I’m going…

You move around with using WASD or a gamepad and when you click on a surface your gravity orientates itself in the direction of that surface. The world design is inspired by the work of MC Escher and as such there is no definite “down”. You move around various environments, buildings and fragments of them by orientating your gravity towards the area that you wish to travel to. You then proceed to move around each area and…

Next came The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and finally Captain America. Each one of these movies served a purpose. Not only to introduce (or in The Incredible Hulk‘s case, re-introduce) their title characters, but also to lay the ground work for a movie so many comic book fan-boys were hoping for.

Rather, I’m an animation fan who feels that comic books are a tremendous source for good animated entertainment. Like many comic book geeks out there, I find Batman: The Animated Series to be one of the best drawn, animated, acted and written cartoon series to have ever existed, super hero based or otherwise. B:TAS set the bar for just about every animated show to come after it by appealing to a very wide…

  • Dark Knight Watches Over Unborn Child

    Christopher Kirkman
    29 Mar 2012 | 8:05 pm
    Maybe Batman feels like he needs to extend his protection to the under 0 years crowd. Maybe there are evils in the womb only the World’s Greatest Detective can vanquish. Whatever the motivation, this child’s parents can sleep easy at night knowing justice will always be on the side of their baby. Batman appears on Ultrasound The photo above is an unaltered ultrasound (except to remove some text) from a high school friend of mine who so graciously allowed me to post it here after I noted how much it looked like Batman might be looking for a new Robin. A very, VERY, young Robin.

    You know what's really good? Serial Experiments Lain. Remember the year 1999, when The Matrix blew America's face off with it's philosophy mixed with digital kung-fu? Lain was there, too, but you might not have even heard of her. Lain doesn't have any kung-fu or gunplay (wait, stay here!) but it does dive deep into the same philosophy regarding the nature of our existence as The Matrix does; I would say that it goes deeper than The Matrix does. This is the opening to the anime, with one of my favorite OP themes, period. Lain is available on Funimation's official Youtube channel, which also…

    10 May 2012 | 2:25 pm
    Here's my problem. I like survival horror games, but have never played one my entire life. It boggles my mind. I'd actively watch Let's Plays of Amnesia, Haunting Ground, and pretty much anything else because they fascinate me beneath my safe, safe, and safe comfort blankey. But never play any of them. The "scariest" game I've played was Bioshock, and it's not even meant to be a horror game (and the most suspenseful game was 999). I'm basically a poser whenever I talk about horror games I've never played, even though I own one or two of them. It's a secret shame, but goes to show how…

Square Enix has always evaded the topic with comments on its possibility that offer no clear answer.

    “Sometimes, it’s the sound that does it. A snatch of half-recalled chorus can suddenly whisk you back to a lazy summer afternoon lounging in the park, the murmur of conversations overheard and the shouts of foot-to-ball enthusiasts wafting through the air. Legend of Grimrock, the new PC dungeon crawler from Finnish indie developers Almost Human, achieved something very similar for me. That special blend of feet slapping on flagstone floors, the clank of chainmail and the rumble of nameless horrors echoing through labyrinthine corridors transported me away from my living room in gray,…

    Richard
    4 Apr 2012 | 10:39 am
    From my latest opus over at Computerworld, on the rise and fall of a mega-behemoth of the UK games retail scene: Game Group, the UK’s largest specialist video game retail chain was one of the great success stories of the growing digital economy of the past two decades. The story of the company’s rise from a minority player in an overlooked market to a behemoth turning over nearly £2 billion at its peak in 2009 is only topped by the meteoric rate at which it fell into financial non-viability…   …while Game may have been undeniably successful, some critics were…

  • The government wants to look at your emails, so send them some

    4 Apr 2012 | 6:47 am
    For those of you who don’t know (and it’s not hard to understand why you wouldn’t, given the lack of media interest), the government is currently trying to pass some extremely troubling legislation that will give certain parts of the state even more access to your personal communications than they already possess, without even the fig-leaf of judicial accountability provided by the need for a court order. According to the proposals, telecoms providers such as mobile networks, fixed line phone providers and ISPs will be legally obliged to keep a database of metadata on your emissions:…

    Beleaguered high street video game retailer GAME Group has been sold to OpCapita for a nominal £1 fee, taking the company out of administration. Under the agreement, brokered by administrator PwC, the company’s UK retail presence, including 333 stores trading as Game and Gamestation as well as nearly 3,200 staff, will be taken over by Baker Acquisitions, a firm described as “advised by OpCapita”. “We strongly believe there is a place on the high street for a video gaming specialist and GAME is the leading brand in a £2.8 billion market in the UK,” said Henry Jackson,…

  • Today Portal 2 Owners Get Level Creation Tools (05/08/2012)

    7 May 2012 | 9:12 pm
    'I'm willing to put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.' Valve today announced that Portal 2 owners will be treated to a free DLC toolkit that will allow levels to be created by everyone. The download, called 'The Perpetual Testing Initiative' will be available on both PC and Mac, but there's no word on whether the toolkit will be extended to Xbox 360 or PS3 owners (most likely not). The puzzle maker will allow Portal 2 owners both to create new levels, and to share those levels with other players. The Steam Workshop will play host to the user created levels, and players will…

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Pre-Orders Begin On Amazon (05/06/2012)

  • Could the Xbox 360 be Banned in Germany? (05/06/2012)

    6 May 2012 | 12:58 am
    A German court has issued an injunction against sale of the Xbox 360, Windows 7, and other Microsoft products. Judge Holger Kircher of the Mannheim Regional Court granted the injunction based on the findings of the International Trade Commission last week that Motorola patents were being violated by Microsoft. This does not mean that the Xbox 360 will be banned immediately in Germany, because Microsoft has stated that they will immediately appeal the ruling. During the appeal, Microsoft is able to continue selling the Xbox 360. Likewise, a US court has ruled that product sale in Germany can…

  • RIP Beastie Boy Adam MCA Yauch (05/04/2012)

    4 May 2012 | 9:20 am
    Today the world has lost musical pioneer Adam 'MCA' Yauch, founder of the instantly-recognizable Beastie Boys. Hearing such sad news is never easy, but it does gives us an opportunity to recall fond memories of Mr. Yauch's truly unique work. The Beastie Boys accomplishments transcended the music industry and even gained them celebrity in the gaming world. Back in the mid '90s, Midway games released NBA Jam Tournament Edition (NBA Jam T.E.) which was so full of easter eggs it made the Easter Bunny faint. Among the wild cast of unlockable characters were none other than Adam…

  • First EVER Annual Loss For Nintendo (04/27/2012)

    27 Apr 2012 | 5:15 pm
    Nintendo's Wii sales are down considerably, which has caused Nintendo to post their first loss ever. Nintendo lost about $533 million, on weaker than expected Wii sales, and a strong yen. Nintendo sold 9.8 million Wii systems, down from over 15 million sold last year. Nintendo is expecting to return to profitability in fiscal 2012, thanks to a weakening yen. Nintendo's Wii sales are a strong indication that this generation of systems is over; the Wii U is expected to usher in a new generation of consoles, and help their ailing console sales. Likewise, Apple's iPhone and iPad sales are taking…

    The original Witcher came out on PC way back in 2007, and was universally praised for being a deep, rich RPG with a great story and, perhaps more controversially, very adult tone. The developer, CDProjektRed, initially planned on releasing the Enhanced Edition of the original Witcher game to the 360, but that plan eventually fell through due to numerous issues with porting the engine and financial difficulty within the company. Eventually they decided to abandon work on the original game’s port, and now nearly a year after it’s initial release on the PC, The Witcher 2: Enhanced…

  • PSN Review – PixelJunk 4am

    Nick Michetti
    16 May 2012 | 8:08 am
    PixelJunk 4am is part game, part music-making/mixing software, and part freeform experience. No one part of those components ever overtakes the other, which makes describing PixelJunk 4am even more difficult. So, to put it a different way, PixelJunk 4am is a game without most definitive components that make a game. It’s music making without the unnerving intimidation of using music software, which most times is far from friendly to new users who understand little about music. It’s also an artistic experience, one that allows the player to make what they want without penalty, fear…

    Adobe's latest version of FormsCentral is one of the software giant's solution at providing something many small web-based businesses have been dragging their feet on - making forms. Filling out forms isn't something people enjoy doing over the web. Unless you're doing some serious online shopping, chances are you're less likely to fill them out. Even worse, creating forms is as worse as it sounds: knowing what fields to choose, formatting how it displays in email, organizing your email list, etc. Most of the time, it's never fun and it involves either doing your own coding or dealing with a…

    Dungeoncrawler
    18 Apr 2012 | 10:39 pm
    This is going to be stat-heavy posting. I've compiled a list about Nes (ntsc) games for collectors to keep on eye when browsing internet auction houses, that are generally considered the most worthy. I've made simple calculations with excel to determine "overall value score" for each Top50 game. The value is based on Ebay.com average selling prices listed by rarityguide.com (knows 772 Nes titles) in combination with Jason Smith's Nes Game Price Guide (which presents cartridge-only ntsc prices). The calculation is not perfect, but it gives direction well in my opinion. Roughly overall…

    Shadowrun sequel is being crowdfunded in kickstarter.com right now already past it's goal by 300%. The game is titled as "Shadowrun Returns" - though it necessarily isn't going to be the final title. Wasteland 2 is not only game sequel of a classic game crowdfunded this year - it seems that people have demand for old school games and their sequels made with sticking to their roots instead of turning them into First person shooters like Syndicate. Well actually Shadowrun already came out like that in 2007. But "Shadowrun Returns" will be different case - and it's coming for PC, and for Apple…

  • ASEPRITE (Allegro Sprite Editor)

    Justin Dixon
    15 May 2012 | 8:32 pm
    As a Linux user, I am always looking for new professional quality tools that are open source and, preferably, cross-platform. ASEPRITE (Allegro Sprite Editor), is now one of those tools. Mac users, you will not be disappointed either. This is saying a lot when shareware like Graphics Gale and costly Cosmigo Pro Motion are used from professional pixel artists only support Windows. I would like to pick that I do not know anyone who buys shareware (Graphics Gale) anymore or let alone a whopping $78 (DRM limited use) / $1500 "unlimited number of users at a single customer site or location" for…

  • Graphic Design 101: Image File Formats

    Justin Dixon
    10 Oct 2011 | 7:45 pm
    There are a handful of image file formats, but only a select few we use for certain purposes. New ones pop up now and then, but not often enough to worry much about being up to date with all of them.For graphic designs (raster), we typically use PSD (Photoshop Document) and XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility for GIMP) especially when working with layers. Think of these file types as "workstation" formats. You don't publish them, but you modify and back them up for future versions or derivatives. "But PNG is the best format ever!". No, a PNG (Portable Network Graphic) is a lossless (doesn't…

  • Graphic Design 101: Let's Start From The Beginning

    Justin Dixon
    9 Oct 2011 | 6:44 pm
    There seems to be a lot of misconception of graphic design these days. Perhaps being unable to attend courses for basic education behind this field makes people naturally defensive and aggressive to those who try and help their self-taught "skill". I love interjections I get that I'm self righteous for stepping on people's toes and breaking their little hearts for their creations. Well, as I have been taught from every art community/college course, art is not meant for the faint of heart if you want to make something on a respectable level. But this marks the path to a new series of…

    Justin Dixon
    28 Sep 2011 | 2:08 pm
    I want to address how I feel about Ubuntu's new Unity interface in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal."Ubuntu is now a Mac, blah blah...". Let's face it, Apple really did the Mac justice with window management in their OS X. Something Linux distros failed to do is fill this gap. This is why I fell in love with Ubuntu 11.04's Unity interface. If anything, Ubuntu took a step away from the Windows 95/98 era of stone age windows management and embraced change. People whine that Ubuntu is trying to be a Mac... Well, I argue Ubuntu is trying NOT to be Windows, a good thing. I also want to say the new…

  • How to Optimise a Website

    Justin Dixon
    4 Mar 2011 | 9:48 pm
    I've done quite a bit of experimenting and research with website optimisation awhile back, and I thought I'd care to share them with you.Now, I just want to say that, with these days being mostly high speed internet users, browsers updating their JavaScript engines, and CPU processing being generally fast, this will probably sound like old news (unless you never researched it). Well, you're right! However, as a beginning web developer, I didn't know this issue existed or how to follow up with general optimisation. So I'm glad to display this to the new folk that may not have a clue about it.

Being dropped onto a gigantic battlefield with huge structures raining down from the sky and no explanation of what was going on was just too much. After just a couple of matches, I stopped playing the beta altogether and never touched it again. As you can imagine, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Starhawk when I received the full game. To my surprise though, I was blown away by how much fun I was having when I actually knew what was going on. Being the spiritual sequel to a successful…

    The upcoming PS3 exclusive title, Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, was supposed to ship next week on May 22nd, but NIS America has revealed that it has been delayed. Due to manufacturing issues, the shipping date has been moved to May 29th, pushing the game back by a week. The European release date of May 25th is still unchanged, so it just hurts those of us in North America.

    14 May 2012 | 4:52 pm
    Let’s face it, there are a lot of rumours flying around these days, and new consoles are at the centre of it. From Sony’s PS3 cross-breeding with a Magic 8 Ball to create the hideously named ‘Orbis’ to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor going all Big Brother on us and blocking the use of second hand games, the last few months have seen not so much a trickle as a thundering storm of speculation, prediction and outright guess work crashing down on the heads of dedicated gamers the world over. Not so with Nintendo’s Wii U. Sure, there are some outlandish rumours…

    Bethesda Softworks has announced that its supernatural assassin action game Dishonored will be available in  North America on October 9, in Australia on October 11 and throughout Europe on October 12, 2012. The game will be released on PS3, XBox 360 and PC. Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where steampunk- inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. Players take on the role of  Corvo, the once-trusted bodyguard of a murdered Empress. Framed for the crime, you become an infamous assassin, known by the disturbing mask that has become your…

  • Microsoft Potentially Bringing Internet Explorer To Xbox 360

    Blake Anglin
    10 May 2012 | 11:43 pm
    While PS3 and Wii users have been able to browse the Web through their consoles for a while now, Xbox users were left in the cold.  ESPN and YouTube are cool, but the Xbox isn’t currently capable of surfing the Net.   That may be all about to change. The Verge is reporting that Microsoft is testing Internet Explorer 9 for Xbox 360, and is optimizing it for Kinect.  While you won’t need Kinect to use it, thankfully, it seems likely it will integrate right in to the Kinect-friendly new dashboard.  I like the idea of a browser, finally, but I guess I’ll have to re-learn how to…

Sentinel, outsider, and champion, Connor defends the land against those who would infringe upon freedom and liberty." 1,776,000 shares after and the world gameplay premiere of Assassin's Creed 3 is now released.

    11 May 2012 | 12:08 am
    Dishonored is Bethesda Softworks latest piece of art, which I would say is a combination between the mechanics of Assassins Creed and Deus Ex. No official gameplay video or detailed information about the game have been announced, but what's recently confirmed is its release date and the box art above (which looks insanely incredible). So heads up guys, Dishonored is set for a release on the 9th of October on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. For more information on the game, and our thoughts on it, visit here.

        Within the past few years Zombies and Vampires and Werewolves have been gaining much popularity and attention due to books, movies, and shows. Zombies are usually portrayed as bad guys and this game makes no exception for that rule. In Thump The Zombie (Brave Boy), you are a brave boy trying to thump zombies. Swing your weapon while on some sort of hover board trying to dodge walls and statues. Each swing slows down time and you get to see the smashing a little better.

    People loves to make definitive statements. 'I will not buy products who aren't made in my country'; 'I will not buy something whose business model I am against'; 'I will not eat meat anymore'. And then, they make several exceptions to their rules when they perceive that those rules will make them lose something they want. 'Except olive oil, because national olive oil sucks'; 'Except for that one game that I love'; 'I will eat just chicken'. The problem is how easy people will make exceptions to their rules in order to not open hand of what they love and them blame others for not abiding to…

    With Rockstar launching Max Payne 3, set in the Brazilian city of São Paulo, I bet a lot of people will play the game and put in their heads that Brazil is exactly as portrayed by the game. Except that the game uses so many wrong information that every screenshot I see is reason to laugh. Brazil is a very different country than Hollywood have portrayed since forever. And they make no effort to discover how accurate they are. For example, Brazil... 7. Don't Speak Spanish. Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese, and Portugal don't speak Spanish.

    14 May 2012 | 2:24 pm
    I played both Diablo games. I love playing one and I have no idea where 2 are in my things, but I loved it too. Of course, I was very different then. I didn't care much about story, and was happy with the good graphics, great number of interesting monsters and the challenge. But I must say, a game like Diablo does not entice me today. I am older, I learned to seek a good story on my games and to hate borderline OCD gameplay. Diablo is a game about where lore doesn't play a very important element. All you need to know is that evil forces exists, where they are and go there and kill everything…

    I’m sure just about everyone on the planet’s surface is familiar with Plants vs Zombies. (Begone obscure forest tribes, this is no business of yours.) It’s a fantastically addictive little game, which has made its way onto several formats. Being the unfortunate addict that I am, I own the title a couple of times over, and it’s eaten more of my time than I care to admit. When it comes to achievements, I’m the type that will only strive for them all when it’s one of my favourite games. Plants vs Zombies certainly qualifies, but it’s one that I haven’t yet finished in this…

  • Game of the Week: Crash Team Racing

    Chris Littlechild
    12 May 2012 | 5:45 am
    Crash Team Racing arrived on the Playstation in 1999, the little orange dude’s first foray into the racing genre. It’s notable for being, in the aftermath of the myriad of Mario Kart clones, one of few real rivals. A kart racer of genuine quality, and perhaps the equal to Nintendo’s own efforts. Indeed, it improved on some areas that are sorely lacking in Mario’s own karting shenanigans. Primarily, the story mode. Such games have always been very much a multiplayer pursuit, offerings for the lone gamer are generally rather meagre. There is the ubiquitous Grand Prix assortment to…

    Surely gaming’s most recognised figure, Mario’s illustrious career has spanned several decades. In this impressive period some of the greatest games, the likes of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, have been produced. The dungaree-donning maestro with the questionable facial fuzz is now better-known worldwide than Mickey Mouse (allegedly, so said an old report I once heard of). As such, I feel the need to to explain that there’s no offence meant here. I don’t want him to send armies of deadly ninja Goombas to hunt me down in the dead of night.

  • Game of the Week: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

    Chris Littlechild
    5 May 2012 | 6:23 am
    This 1994 Game Boy release was an oddity indeed. Mario takes a backseat here, giving Wario his first starring role. Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins marked his debut, and Nintendo were clearly fond of their new creation. The result of this bold decision was a completely innovative platform experience, as the yellow man’s adventures are a stark contrast to Mario’s in many ways. The plot, for one, is markedly different. Wario’s greed and general unpleasantness leaves him completely impervious to the usual tired heroic motives. This title finds a vast golden statue of Princess…

This shake-up also saw the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki who was the previous team leader. You might have read reviews claiming that Ninja Gaiden 3 is not up to the mark and doesn’t live up to the standards set by its predecessors.

    If you have used your XBox 360 for any period of time, you have probably run into the Red Ring of Death at some point in time.  If you haven’t yet, you probably will.  The mere site of the three red lights is enough to cause panic in any hardcore gamer, but there is something you can do about it. The causes of the Red Ring of Death include overheating, or near overheating where the unit shuts itself off to avoid further damage.  The CPU and GPU of the XBox requires a lot of power.  That, in conjunction with the fact that the soldering wasn’t done hot enough at the factory,…

    Ubisoft is best known for its hardcore gaming titles and has developed a loyal following.  They also have ventured into the casual gaming world with titles like CSI: Crime City.  They are about to venture into that world again with Ghost Recon Commander, which will be a turn-based tactical combat title that takes it roots from X-Com and Jagged alliance.

    I’m a sucker for HD remakes. While it’s nice to see a game revamped and redone completely, sometimes they’re best staying just the way they were originally – with a fresh coat of paint. Some prime examples of incredible HD remakes are Perfect Dark, the Jak and Daxter Trilogy, and Beyond Good and Evil HD. Same great gameplay, but more visually appealing. Furthermore, there are many titles out there I dream of seeing remade in HD, while still having the general gameplay untouched. These solid titles need not be changed, and I miss them so very dearly.

    This week brought us the release of Ivy Bridge.  This particular release is especially strange and rather challenging to cover as a lot of the critical parts are spread out over a 3 month period. Earlier this month we saw the release of the Z77 chipset, which is the primary enthusiast chipset to support Ivy Bridge (like the Z68 Chipset).  This week we get the release of the Quad Core CPU versions of Ivy Bridge.The article below is a great extensive look at the Ivy Bridge release and more specifically, the Core i7-3770K.  I just want to touch on a few key points here which will be important…

    The release of the iPad 3rd Gen was most noticible due to its retina display.  While we had seen the retina concept with the iPhone 4, never before has this level of pixel density been available (at least on a consumer device).  And let me tell you – it is absolutely stunning.  Reading text is like reading a book, pictures are stunningly crisp, and games designed for this screen are just pure gold.  Also as a side note, my regular monitor looks like crap by comparison (and I run a high quality NEC).The inevitability is that this tech will reach computer monitors, and I think…

It’s terrific when a game tackles meaty, large-scale problems like global poverty or pollution, but that’s no reason to write off a game that operates at a more nitty gritty, interpersonal level, say one that gets people to have conversations with their kids about race, or pick up the phone and call a lonely stranger (like Jane McGonigal’s game Bounce). That said I sometimes feel that the “change” aspect in certain games for change requires scare quotes. This is, of…

It’s only a minute long and much of that is composed of shots of the actors looking shiftily at one another, so if you want to learn more about the award-winning mystery-solving game before it drops tonight for iOS, check out the Board Game Geek page for the old-timey printed version. It’s pronounced “Rah-vensburger”. I’ve been saying “Ray-vensburger” for years. I feel dumb now. Owen Faraday Mr X is probably the guy wearing sunglasses in the Scotland Yard trailer…

  • Ascension: Storm of Souls and the Big Play

    Owen Faraday
    16 May 2012 | 7:24 am
    I’ve written pages and pages about Ascension, Playdek’s fantasy deck-building card game for iOS. Ascension gets as much attention as it does on this one-man blog because it occupies a significant share of the only writer’s playing time. I was waiting on the edge of my seat for the Storm of Souls expansion to drop, only to discover that it’s turned Ascension into something else entirely. "The party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the party of the first part." Ascension is not a new game, so you can’t ascribe the amount of time…

  • Hands-on with Empire of the Eclipse

    To carry warfare sunward.. Twice-rejected App Store applicant Empire of the Eclipse has finally been deemed fit for sale by Cupertino and should be available next week. EotE represents a brace of iOS firsts: the first massively-multiplayer 4X game and the first monthly-subscription based app outside of the Newsstand. I’ve been playing a pre-release version of Empire of the Eclipse and I can’t wait for more of you to show up. EotE bills itself as a real-time game, but that shouldn’t put off those who prefer their 4X games to play at a dignified turn-based pace – this…

  • Scotland Yard’s game is afoot (UPDATED)

    Owen Faraday
    15 May 2012 | 5:06 am
    You think it's hard to solve crimes now, just wait til the Olympics start. Ravensburger have announced that the iOS port of renowned mystery board game Scotland Yard is available, though there isn’t any sign of it as yet on the App Store. Maybe this is itself a mystery. Very clever. Haven’t seen an ARG for a board game in a good while. Scotland Yard won the coveted Spiel des Jahres award when it was originally released in dead tree & molded petroleum format back in 1983. I’ve contacted Ravensburger to get some clarification on when we can expect to start sleuthing.

  • Public Service Message: I was wrong about Call of Cthulhu

    Owen Faraday
    14 May 2012 | 6:45 am
    Cthulhu must be pretty bored of that old chestnut. In Weekend Price Drops two weekends ago, I mentioned that Call of Cthulhu hadn’t really grabbed me when I’d played it a few months back. I implied that it probably wasn’t very good, and I might have intimated that making a squad tactical RPG was probably an over-reach for guys whose previous experience was making Lovecraftian iPad advent calendars. I am man enough to admit that I was totally wrong. My hands in the air, I am making a sheepish face. Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is completely dope. The controls are fiddly,…

  • Assassin’s Creed 3 – Gameplay Premiere

    Chad
    11 May 2012 | 12:16 pm
    Finally, we get a chance to see Connor in action in this Assassin’s Creed 3 world premiere gameplay trailer. Like Ezio and Altair before him, Connor appears to have a wide range of moves and battle techniques, all with animations far better than the previous titles in the franchise.This trailer is a first for AC3 in more than a few ways. We finally get a chance to hear Connor’s voice (which sounds awesome) and we get a chance to see him kicking some red coat ass. There’s one problem though; his claim of no allegiance rings hollow after he kills red coat after red coat. I…

  • Max Payne 3 – Screenshots Gallore

    Chad
    8 May 2012 | 7:14 am
    The release of Max Payne 3 is just around the corner, and I’m feeling a bit weird about the whole thing. It’s been so long since Max Payne 2 hit store shelves that I almost can’t believe someone is reviving the franchise. They are though, and Rockstar Games will release Max Payne 3 on May 16th. In the spirit of violence, noir dialogue, and Max’s enduring physique, I present this collection of new screenshots.If these new screenshots have one thing in common, it’s that they all look absolutely fantastic. Max has gotten a bit older, but like a fine wine, he’s…

  • Hitman: Absolution – Introducing Agent 47

    Chad
    2 May 2012 | 2:41 pm
    After watching this new Hitman: Absolution gameplay trailer “introducing” Agent 47, I’ve come up with another theory about the game. No, not a romance theory this time… instead I’m talking about Absolution’s myseriously absent release date. I believe that in the next little while, IO Interactive is going to go “surprise!!” and announce that the game is mere days away from release. Believe me, it’s inevitable.If you can believe it, this new trailer actually shows a ton of actual gameplay footage, and from more than just one level. We see a…

  • Dishonored Screenshots – Revenge Solves Everything

    Chad
    1 May 2012 | 6:00 am
    Ever since I played Looking Glass’ Thief series of games years ago, I’ve yearned for a modern successor to carry on the fine tradition of sneaking, thieving, and killing. With Arkane Studios’ Dishonored on the way, I feel a spark of hope re-kindled.Garrett is long gone (for now), and Corvo doesn’t exactly seem like much of a thief, but based on these new Dishonored screenshots, he does appear to have quite the knack for sneaking and killing. Two out of three ain’t bad, right?Dishonored ScreenshotsI take back at least part of my comparison to Garrett. Corvo…

  • Hitman: Absolution – Benjamin Travis ICA File

    Chad

    As much as I complain about the way that IO Interactive has been marketing Hitman: Absolution, I can’t help but get sucked in by these fantastic “ICA File” videos they’ve been putting out. They’ve only released two so far, but both of them have gone a long way towards calming my fears.If you’ve read any of my previous Hitman related posts, you’ve probably notice that I like to ramble about a romance between Diana and Agent 47. I can’t help it… I just imagine the worst, most hokey dialogue imaginable because of the whole “Diana…

    8 May 2012 | 11:59 pm
    I still remember the first time playing the resident evil games.  I was in my early teens and it was about midnight and me and my friend had all the lights off, and boom!  A zombie crashed through the window, in the game of course.  Resident Evil 6 is actually going to be the 26th game in the Resident Evil series.  This addition to the series promises to be a return to the magic that made the first Resident Evil's so famous.  Capcom is coming up with a way to bring all the good things from the original games and adding new twists.  This will be the first ever…

       I don't know what else to say...If you didn't like the first Expendables then I'm pretty sure your brain dead.  The Expendables 2 takes what Stallone did in the first movie and then makes it so much more!  The Expendables 2 is going to be an action super star extravaganza!  I haven't been this excited to see a bang-bang shoot-em up movie since the newest Rambo.  This movie has every action star that has been around since the '80's.  Sylvester Stallone is one my all time favorite actors so I get very excited when he comes out with a new movie, but this…

    2 May 2012 | 9:40 pm
           When I first saw that they were coming out a with new game based off of one of my most favorite scifi series movies Aliens, I was a little stand-offish.  There have been many adaptations of the Aliens movies for videos games dating back to the SNES.  I have played every last one, and honestly, was disappointed by all.  When Alien vs Predator came out in 2010 I was very excited.  Finally they had released a game worthy to have the same title of the excellent Aliens saga.  Then with the recent announcement of Aliens: Colonial…

  • The First Beta Weekend for Guild Wars 2 over.

    2 May 2012 | 2:12 pm
    Well, if you were a pre-purchaser for guild wars 2 then you were lucky enough to have gotten a beta code for the this past weekends beta event for the upcoming Guild Wars 2.  I have watched many videos of people playing the beta and some reviews of what people think so far.  I'm hoping they will eventually launch a public beta or at least have another raffle for beta codes like they did before.  I see myself buying this game before any game in the new future.  I'm still stuck on Lord of the Rings Online right now, so we'll see if Guild Wars can draw me away (maybe).

  • Datura Review

    Craig Shields
    11 May 2012 | 1:42 pm
    Usually when playing a game I have some sort of idea what’s going on.  Whether it’s to do with the setting I’m in, the character I’m playing or even something as simple as the controls.  Datura doesn’t fall into any of those, I wasn’t sure where I was, who I was or even how to play it.  It’s all a little bit different really. Datura is an exclusive PSN game from the makers of Linger in the Shadows.  Like Linger in the Shadows, Datura is more of an experiment of what the PS3 is actually capable of but unlike Linger this is more game than a DVD…
