StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty released
Jul 27th
That's right people, after over 12 years, Actizzard (nee Blizzard) have pumped out the next instalment of e-sporting RTS & sci-fi epic StarCraft II (well, part of it anyway).
In related news, nobody in South Korea turned up for work today! Officials are currently investigating whether the two items are linked...
F.E.A.R. 3 Co-Op First Look – **Live Action Video Warning**
Jun 2nd
We know F.E.A.R. 3 is coming, the promotional box art is stupid, John Carpenter is directing live-action cutscenes and Point Man still has no name, but compensates... with a beard!
Obvious we will have to wait until release to see if the problems of F.E.A.R. 2 have been stamped out, but in the mean time, here's some footage of Data from Star Trek... ON FIRE!
No, seriously, it's the third trailer for F.E.A.R. 3, this time starring Paxton Fettel, which outlines how the two halves of the co-op experience combine - Whilst Fettel lines them up with telekinetic powers and possession, Point Man mows them down with bullets.
Fun!
M0th3r = Exp3ct1ng – F.3.A.R. 4nn0unc3d 4 PS3, PC n Xb0x
May 3rd
Don't worry... It's actually officially F.E.A.R. 3... F.3.A.R. is just on the box art.
Still, when will 'marketing' learn that putting txtsp34k in our titles doesn't make the game more 'hip' or 'cool'... It just makes the people who made the decision look like fucking tools!
Anyway, F.E.A.R. 3 has been announced for Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows, due to hit towards the end of the year. Under development at Day 1 Studios (MechAssault, Fracture, the console ports of the original F.E.A.R.) with supervision by series creators Monolith and, curiously, John Carpenter.
Featuring co-op play starring Fettel and *sigh* the nameless Point Man, the game will propel games from 'generative scare' to 'generative scare' (which basically sounds like procedural generated scary quick time events too me) as they try and do something about the pregnant Alma and the impending birth of another token anti-christ.
Trailer and thoughts after the break.

Vietnam(?) Black – Call of Duty: Black Ops announced, teased
May 2nd
Despite the debacle at Infinity Ward (26 employees and counting), Activision have pushed on with Call of Duty: Black Ops, in development at Treyarch.
The seventh entry in the astronomic series 'could' be set in Vietnam, the Cold War or somewhere else - We're honestly not sure and the trailer doesn't really give enough away to make a informed decision.
Judge for yourself in the teaser after the cut...
SOS New York – Crysis 2 Teaser Trailer *UPDATED*
Apr 9th
EA premièred a teaser for Crysis 2 in Time Square meaning, predictably, at least one of the Internet's vast contingent was available to film it and post it to YouTube, available here.
The trailer currently links to www.sosnewyork.com, which just has a timer (presumably counting down to some HD/expanded trailer goodness), but watch this space!
Lets just hope the game goes some way to explain why we've moved from tropical islands to New York!
*UPDATE* - The website is now live, with an extended HD-ified trailer, which can be found beneath the cut.
Pink Robots – War for Cybertron Multiplayer Footage/Release Date
Apr 8th
Well it seems the multi-player component of Transformers: War for Cybertron is doing what we really want of the game - allowing us to make our own shooty robots that specialise in shooting other shooty robots.
Purists may scoff at the classes being generic 'Scientist', 'Leader' and 'Scout' rather than stuff like 'Seeker', 'The One to light their Darkest Hour' and... erm... 'Scout'!
The most important fact about the trailer after the cut? 22/06/2010 is when we get to play this, making it 75 days (and counting) till we get this.
Woot!
Witching Hour – The Witcher 2 Debut
Mar 23rd
CDProjekt RED have released the debut trailer for their 'mysterious new project'... So mysterious, they even refused to acknowledge its existence despite a shareholder video demonstration leaking to the internet.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is coming to PC (and possible console) sometime late 2010/early 2011 and is the sequel to one of the better proper RPGs to come out in recent years.
Formula Vroom – F1 2010 Developer Diary
Mar 22nd
Codemasters have released the first of [insert number here] development diary videos for their upcoming 'simu-cade' of the top level of motorsport.
Following on from F1 2009 (last years PSP/Wii game) F1 2010 signifies the first official F1 game on a Playstation since 2007, a PC since Grand Prix 4 in 2002 (ah, memories) and an Xbox since, well, ever!
Codemasters are behind the wheel (*snort*) this time - jump the waist-high turnstyle that is the cut and see what the developers have to say...
Thanks BigDownload
Tier One Beard – Medal of Honor trailer
Mar 13th
Now it seems that Activision have culled all respect and/or skill from Call of Duty development, it's down to EA to give us innovative Modern Warfare titles... How ironic.
A new Medal of Honor trailer, entitled 'Tier One' (after the cut) shows us most of what we know, in no particular order:
- Guns
- Combat
- Beards
- Combat Beards
- Apache Gunships
- Terrorism
- Insurgency
- Stealth
- Night Vision
- Quad Bikes
- Booby Traps
- Explosions
- Afghanistan
- Sledgehammers & Scalpels (?)
GDC 2010 – Deus Ex drops ’3′ – now ‘Human Revolution’
Mar 12th
Using '3' in the title was always a silly idea... after all, it was a prequel ffs! Whatever next, Th4if?
Anyway, some marketing bod has obviously come to his/her senses, since GDC 2010 sees a bullshot teaser for the newly christened 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' released into the wild by Squeidosnix or whatever we're supposed to call them these days.
No gameplay, just typical pretentious exposition and CGI, it's after the cut.
Nice shades... JC would be proud!
