Oh boy. I'm going to say this isn't going to work here and now. Interesting theory, but theory is one fickle thing and I just cant see this being a good thing for the franchise. Continue Reading»

Doesn't show much, other than Sam Fisher is somehow going to be called back into action. Hopefully we'll see a lot more at E3. Continue Reading»

Its been a while since the original teaser for Mass Effect 2 dropped. Bioware released this new teaser that shows whats in store for E3. All I can say is it looks awesome. New weapons, changes to the environment, improved combat system. I cant wait to see the full reveal come E3. Continue Reading»

Let me preface this by saying that I personally love Kotaku. They're my homepage, and they're always on the ball when it comes to up-to-the-minute gaming news.
That said, it seems they've certainly just taken a shit all over their own reporting.
Kotaku recently wrote that Eidos had officially announced Thief 4, the long awaited sequel to the popular stealth series. Kotaku then proceeded to denounce publisher Eidos for not providing enough details about the game.
This all seems a bit strange, seeing as how Kotaku has posted not one, not two, not three, but a total of four stories about Thief 4 – and they even linked to an IGN article about it, too. Oh, and this was all done within the past month.
Why is it then, that Luke Plunkett sees fit to cry foul at Eidos for not giving enough information about the title, citing that there’s “nothing on its setting, no screenshots, nothing on its protagonists, nothing on a release window, nothing on the game's design, nothing on...well, anything.” Strange, considering that there must’ve been enough information for you to publish four separate stories on it?
This verbal bashing doesn’t seem to take into account what a lot of companies do when announcing games. Take a heavy-hitter like Blizzard for example, who frequently announce games without so much as a whimper about anything other than a big piece of title art that confirms nothing more than that someone might have thought about it (I’m looking at you, Diablo III). Developer Valve also has a nasty habit of not announcing release dates for games and letting details come out at a snail’s pace (where’s my HL2 Episode 3, huh?).
Plunkett closed his article by saying “Eidos: this is not how you announce a product”. Really, considering they’ve still somehow managed to get four fucking stories about it on your site alone, it seems that their announcement is going pretty well to me. Also, it’s not like Eidos Montreal general manager Stephane D'Astous simply ran out into a room and yelled “Thief 4!” at the top of his lungs before scurrying back under a rock. He offered perfectly good reasoning as to why nothing has been announced. “We're going to wait a couple of months to announce more” said D’Astous in regards to the title, “we don't know exactly the window of release and we don't know the first-party strategy”.
The bottom line is we know enough about it for right now. We know it’s being developed by Eidos Montreal, and we know it’s a Thief game. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice to know more about the title, but it’s better than getting no announcement at all. So, the moral of the story here is to get off your fucking high horse and not to bite the hand that feeds.

Rumors say this is Beyond Good & Evil 2 footage, it looks like it, I honestly couldn't place it as Mirrors Edge 2 because of the art direction and it just seems a little too early for a squeal to be coming out already. Anyways to comment on the video I must say this chase scene is one of the best I've ever seen executed in a video game, the camera is all shaky like a Jason Bourne scene and shes pulling off some sick moves that actually make Mirrors Edge look bad. Although I must say I'm not entirely convinced this is actual gameplay, it just looks too much like CGI work to me. I guess well find out more on what game this actually is in due time, till then I'm impressed. Continue Reading»

Codemasters post-apocalyptic open-world racer (mouth-full) is looking better every time I see it. The trailer shows a bunch of race options and different vehicles used in the game. This racing MMO is one of a kind for consoles and I hope the final product is good. Continue Reading»

This is by far the most badass trailer I've seen all year. Dragon Age: Origins is one of my sleeper picks for November 09. For an interview with the Lead Designer click the jump for some really interesting gameplay details.

Here's the two guitars that will be included in the Special Edition of the new Beatles: Rock Band game. They are both the most often used guitars by John Lennon and George Harrison, the Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet. They look pretty cool in my opinion and I'm sure I'll pick one of them up but this just makes me wonder, just how much is this game going to cost? Well, anyway keep checking the Official Beatles: Rock Band site to see any more instruments that are released. (Not that both are on there..) Continue Reading»

I know the first Red Steel was a huge let down to some, but this trailer looks great. Its apparent they went with a new art style, it seems they went with cel-shading this time around. Cel-shading is always a good idea on the Wii because graphics are one of the areas where the Wii certainly lacks and the cel-shaded environments look beautiful no matter what. However if they still haven't fixed the motion controls by making them a little more responsive this title will be a flop just like its predecessor. Continue Reading»

MAG is a Ps3 exclusive that it striving to create an online experience unlike any other. The folks at Zipper Interactive have made it so you can have 256 players fighting at once making for a full on war controlled by people, no AI. The idea sounds great but will the execution be successful? To see some gameplay click the jump.

Here's an off screen video of the new Xbox Arcade 3D remake of the hit Turtles in Time. Pretty poor quality combined with an idiot at the controller makes for a poor demo of the gameplay but vets of the series will be able to see that the true Turtles awesomeness is in there. Pizza power! Continue Reading»

This trailer has been getting some positive feedback on other websites, however it does not appeal to me at all. Don't get me wrong it looks like they are creating some terrifying scenarios for a horror game, but honestly he whole little Japanese ghost child that burps for a really long time will never be scary.
Maybe I am to quick to judge this one considering I haven't seen any combat but honestly how fun could it be to beat up a 6 year old who doesn't get enough sun? If you want to play a scary game test you're manhood and go buy Dead Space. Continue Reading»

Big Apple 3:00AM. The classic arcade turtle game released way back in 92' is finally giving people another chance to smack around some foot soldiers. The classic side scroller has been remade with a nice new 3D look and even better then that, the same sound track! Being the huge TMNT fan that I've always been, I was a little upset when the original NES game was the only one to make it's way to the Xbox Arcade because to be honest, that one sucked. All we need to hear from this is 4-player online co-op and we might just have the next Castle Crashers on our hands. Turtles in Time is confirmed for release on the Xbox Arcade but might just make it's way over to the PSN and Wii's Virtual Console.

It's looking pretty safe to say that Batman might finally get the video game respect that he should have always had. Well made trailers like this one really make a game look like its going to be a lot of fun regardless of whether or not it becomes one of the better games this year. Combat like this with Stealth abilities like that and a Collectors Edition with a Baterang is making this one look very promising for me. Continue Reading»
