The latest sales numbers for the month of April have been released for the United States thanks to the NPD numbers. Cutting through all of the data it is apparent that both games and hardware sales have stayed slow in 2012. In a year where the PS Vita had very slow traction in Japan and major games like Street Fighter X Tekken failed to perform is there still a silver lining?Read More

Kaypso Media has announced DARK, a techo-style vampire stealth/action game, coming in early 2013 for PC and Xbox 360. DARK puts players in the role of a vampire “out to discover the secrets of the mysterious global GeoForge Corporation.” I bet they’re nefarious. The game will include RPG elements, allowing you to customize your character and attack the challenges of the game as you see fit.
Check out the jump to get more information and some early screenshots!

Bethesda Softworks has just announced a release date for Arkane Studios’ upcoming title Dishonored. Inhabitants of North America can pick up this up on October 9, 2012. Unfortunately, those souls who chose to be born outside of North America will have to wait until October 12th, 2012.
If you aren’t familiar with Dishonored, it’s a first person game set in a steam punk world. You’ll play Corvo, the former bodyguard of a dead Empress. Framed for her death, you are on the lam and assassinating everyone who could have possibly been involved. This might not clear your name, but at least it should be cathartic. Like Arkane’s Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Dishonored will feature first person melee action in addition to shooting. Your enemies will have some high tech toys to play with, but you’ll be able to compete with supernatural powers bequeathed to you by questionable benefactors. Personally, I really look forward to being able to possess practically any life form in the game (from rats, fish, and guards included). I don’t care if I had to cut a deal with Cthulhu himself for that power.
You can see the box art after the jump.
