Platinum Games, the folks behind such superviolent bits of excellence as Bayonetta, Vanquish and the upcoming Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are also working on a launch title for Nintendo’s WiiU. It’s a bit more Pixar than their usual style, but it still looks cool. With the working title of “Project P-100,” the game will involve…
I’ve just finished playing Overrun, the new multiplayer mode in Epic and People Can Fly’s Gears of War: Judgment. As a fan of both Gears of War 3‘s enhanced horde mode and vicious Beast Mode, Overrun gives me exactly what I’ve been hoping for: Namely, a versus mode that lets players alternate between playing as…

Press conference musical performances are always a bit mortifying for all involved. The stage sucks, the audience isn’t there for music, and no one’s been drinking. (Well, almost no one. These are journalists, after all.) Usher’s performance for Dance Central 3 at the Microsoft E3 press conference was no different. As Mike Fahey pointed out,…

I’m a fan of Lore in a Minute!, a site that breaks down a game’s lore and story in easily digestible, humorous movies. It’s great for if you want to hop into a series midway through without going back and slogging through long, older games. I headed over there to check out their fun new…
Purposefully vulgar marketing isn’t the only thing controversial about the new Hitman game Hitman: Absolution; plenty of folks are worried that the game itself will be a big departure from the slow-paced, careful gameplay of the first games. The Splinter Cell: Conviction to Blood Money‘s Chaos Theory, if you will. Reading Stephen’s hands-on preview from…

When I read Stephen’s written preview of Hitman: Absolution, many of my fears about the game were assuaged. It certainly sounds a lot like Blood Money, which is one of my favorite games. And now, thanks to this B-roll that was given to press at the preview, we can all see that it really seems…

My, there certainly is a lot going on in this Crysis 3 shot. We’ve got those CELL dudes from Crysis 2 back, haplessly wandering around as usual, waiting to get killed.
