Posted on January 13, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Looking for forward to EA’s Dead Space 3? Well, the publisher has unveiled the $160, Dev Team Edition, for the most hardcore necromorph hunters out there.  For an entry price like that you’ll get the game on your platform of choice (PS3, Xbox 360 or PC),  an 8 inch Black Marker statue, a Med Pack Water Bottle, 20 page note book filled with extra lore, an art book and post cards. There was a time when Collector’s Editions of blockbuster videogames were a little daunting with almost every triple AAA title releasing an version that costs nearly double the price.

Half Life 2’s “Return To Ravenholm” Episode Resurfaces

Posted on January 12, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Did you know that Valve once worked with Dishonored developers Arkane on an expansion for Half Life 2 titled Return To Ravenholm? The project was cancelled over four years ago and was only acknowledged  by Valve staff last January, but we may have finally  got our first look at the cancelled project thanks to the folks at Valvetime. We haven’t had any solid details on the project, well ever, and even this brief glimpse comes with the caveat that there is no way to confirm if these screenshots are legit.

Resident Evil: Revelations Outed By Achievement List

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Joshua Rust

It appears that the 3DS exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations may be coming to the Xbox 360 if a recent listing of achievements it accurate. While not officially announced, this all but confirms that it will be coming out soon. It’s just a matter if this will be a retail release or released via Games On Demand. Personally I think the latter option will probably be what happens seeing how both Resident Evil 4 & Resident Evil: Code Veronica received similar treatment last year. Scoring in at a solid 82/100 over on Metacritic it’s clear to see that this game was

Today at CES 2013 in Las Vegas Microsoft has revealed a new proof-of-concept called IllumiRoom. Combining Kinect and a projector, IllumiRoom will illuminate the area around your television with digital projections of the scenery within the game. Cool right?

Tomb Raider Multiplayer Video From Square Enix

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Joshua Rust

I won’t lie and say that I was happy when Square Enix announced that Tomb Raider would be receiving a multiplayer component to a single player franchise.  I’m an avid Tomb Raider fan and while I know why developers/publishers want to include multiplayer in single player games sometimes I believe it affects the outcome of the single player game. While Square Enix has assured the media that it won’t have any effect on the quality of the single player campaign, I guess we will play the waiting game to see if that is indeed the case. Let’s hope so. A

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Gameplay Video

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Now this isn’t the other Walking Dead game…you know the one that has won numerous awards from varying publications. No this is the first person perspective game that has had little to no attention or information besides a few screenshots. Well, that was until now. Now granted The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct does not have firm release date (except sometime this year) judge this gameplay trailer accordingly. There is still time for lots of polish. [youtube id=”1-lk7_rFWRM” width=”600″ height=”350″] Now, I don’t know about you all…but I get a very Left 4 Dead vibe from this video. Again, granted it doesn’t
