Don’t Expect Starcraft Ghost Anytime Soon
Posted on June 18, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
A lot has happened in the past decade in terms of gaming, we’ve seen the launch and decline of the seventh generation of home consoles as well as Sony entering the portable space with the PSP and following it up with the PlayStation Vita seven years later. Perhaps no project, save Half-Life 3, has been as highly anticipated, and yet completely denied, as Blizzard’s Starcraft Ghost.
Fans have waited anxiously for any update regarding the project since it was officially placed on hold in 2005. Speaking with Kotaku, Starcraft 2’s lead designer Dustin Browde says that the game is not currently being worked on but the folks at Blizzard haven’t ruled out resurrecting it in the future, however it could be some time before any of that comes to pass.Read More

Just Cause 2 Muliplayer Mod Impresses
Posted on June 18, 2012 by Jesse Lord
There are many reasons to enjoy the open-word extravaganza that is Just Cause 2. They include, but are certainly not limited to, flying behind a gas canister that you’ve grappled onto after shooting it, taking insane base-jumping feats to the next level by adding guns into the mix, driving cars off cliffs with hilarious and oftentimes spectacular results, and of course that floating club that everyone’s been raving about. One thing many a gamer was clamoring for, however, was a multiplayer mode. Well, wonder no more!

Is This Halo 4’s Viral Marketing Campaign?
Posted on June 18, 2012 by Kirk Williford
From “I Love Bees” to “Iris”, the Halo franchise and Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) seem to go hand-in-hand these days — a trend that appears to be continuing with Halo 4, if a recent ad on ESPN.com is to be believed.
Last Friday, a flash ad for Halo 4 begun appearing on the top of ESPN.com’s front page. The ad played a Halo 4 trailer, as one might expect, but here’s where it starts to get strange: after awhile, the ad appears to take over the entire screen, blasting tons of strange information ranging from hexagon symbols to raw code, all in an orange color.
The ad, which can be viewed directly from ESPN’s servers here, already has fans of the Halo franchise and ARGs as a whole talking and working together to try and learn more. As of now, however, nothing significant has been discovered — although that surely will change in the near future.
Halo’s previous ARGs have involved plenty of community interaction and relished rewards for some lucky fans. We’ll have to wait and see what’s ahead for Master Chief, but when more is discovered surrounding this ad, we’ll be sure to let you know. Since the actual ad doesn’t show up on ESPN.com as of now, we’ve included a video of it “taking over” the main page of ESPN.com, which you can view after the break.Read More
