Mass Effect 3 Official (but Not Officially Official)
Given how Mass Effect 2 ended (and all the posturing about the ‘Shepard Arc’ being a trilogy of games), we all knew Mass Effect 3 was coming.
I don’t suppose anyone expected it quite so soon, but BioWare have been teasing a new game for a while. The internet was generally predicting it to be a Mass Effect MMO or (more obtusely) a sequel to BioWare’s first game, the mech sim Shattered Steel .
All the teaser evidence had seemingly pointed to a reveal at the 2010 VGA s on Saturday 11 th (tomorrow), but some guy in EA’s Store … Read More…
Biomechanical Man – Deus Ex: Human Revolution Trailer, Screens
Of the few games coming out in 2011 I’m looking forward to, Human Revolution tops the list.
Eidos Montreal are making all the right noises about the game, making a point to emphasize the choice offered in approaching the various situations presented.
A pseudo-proper gameplay trailer has been released, offering a stealth-in/action-out segment with fleeting views of the augmentation interface, the inventory (grids are back!) and hacking.
Find it, and some new screens taken from it, after the cut.
(Thanks to RPS for the screenshots)… Read More…
… Gearbox talks Borderlands GOTY, Duke4Ever demo, ‘Silos’
You can tell when a new game release is approaching – not only does the hype machine kick up, but all the talking heads come out of the woodwork, ready to talk up their game and talk down their rivals. Gearbox aren’t shy of smack talking their rivals.
By rivals, I mean Valve (or more specifically Steam).… Read More…
Codemaster’s F1 2010 hitting shelves… (on console anyway)
Codemasters’ video entertainment product of the world of the #1 Formula twenty-ten, where very brave/very rich/very arrogant (delete as applicable) men drive very fast cars very fast, releases this week. Heck, if you’re a citizen or visitor of a specific ex-British colony, you may already have it.
If you have one of those new-fangled DirectXbox 360 o ‘s or Playing Station 3′s, you can pop down to your local computer game retail convenience and participate in a it for the appropriate sum of hard-earned cash/moolah/wonga (delete as applicable). If you happen to conduct your computation entertainment processes on your beige/black/windowed … Read More…
GOG.com closure – Real, Genuine Tragedy or Terrible Marketing Failure **UPDATED**
When Good Old Games announced today, out of the blue, that they are closing down, there was a disturbance in the gaming force, as if millions of gamers who like owning old gaming properties that are being squatted on by their publishers cried out in terror!
Only being the internet, nobody was really silenced…… Read More…
…and Beyond? – BioShock Infinite Gameplay Footage
A generous ten minutes of stunning BioShock Infinite gameplay footage, most of which may or may not have appeared at various games conferences around the world, has finally crept onto the net.
Steampunk, sky-rails, robotic horses, magical powers, unpredictable weather patterns & much, much carnage after the cut!… Read More…
Record-breaking Fail – Troubled APB Shuts Down
In what is clearly a record for an already over-saturated market, All Points Bulletin, the hybrid MMO/shooter from the beleaguered Realtime Worlds, has closed down after less than three short months in the wild.
The internet already has a compelling lawsuit-load of evidence of the many failures at Realtime Worlds that lead up to this point, not least this blog currently being maintained by ex-staffer Luke Halliwell, who vents his thoughts quite vigourously at the mis-management that clearly went on behind the scenes.
Regardless, following a month of administration and a clear inability to find a rescue buyer, the decision … Read More…
Green Flu – Left 4 Dead ‘Sacrifice’: Part 1 released
Jokes & boycotts aside, Left 4 Dead is still very much alive. Valve are releasing ‘The Sacrifice’ DLC in October (for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2) and, in typical Valve fashion, they’re doing it in a spectacular way.
This time, we get a humongous comic graphic novel, granularly released over 4 weeks, documenting the aftermath of the military rescue at the end of Blood Harvest, the origin of the plague & the survivors plight.
Episode 1 features Louis. His first encounter with a zombie is on the loo, which may very well explain his demeanour.
