Obsidian Teasing New Game “Project X”

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Obsidian Entertainment, developer of Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege 3, has released a teaser image of a new game codenamed “Project X”. No word on what the project is as of this moment, but rumors have been swirling around about a Fallout 4. Obsidian is also supposed to be working on a game for the Wheel Of Time novels by Robert Jordan. This could also be a new Dungeon Siege title or something completely new. Time will only tell, but speculation has began on the Obsidian forums. My guess, and this is pure speculation, is Fallout 4. The reason I

Jump Back Into Battlefield 3 With The Premium Edition

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Seung Lee

Don’t let the fact that Battlefield 4 is being worked on stop you from checking out the third game. Starting today, Battlefield 3 Premium Edition will be available on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC for the cost of $59.99 (used to be 10 bucks more before EA had a change of heart, strange). Now, if you’re wondering why you should even think about picking up the Premium Edition, keep in mind that it’ll come with a membership for Battlefield Premium (it’s like Call of Duty Elite, but much better in my opinion), which’ll give you free access to a

EA Retreats From Plans To Make C&C Multiplayer Only

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Fans reacted negatively upon hearing the news that 2013’s Command and Conquer will be a free-to-play multiplayer only title. It looks like EA has changed its battle plan, pre-deployment, by confirming that the game will indeed feature single player content. Despite the concerns over the free-to-play model, when speaking to The Verge, EA Reps have stated that the single campaign is indeed compatible with the games freemium model. From the sounds of things the single player for Command and Conquer may not come as a complete campaign, but an ever evolving storyline or experience that will change depending on feedback.

Steam: Big Picture Goes Public Beta

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Jason Bassett

You know that thing that Valve has been tinkering with? They call it Big Picture and it has just went into Beta. What is Big Picture?  Big Picture is just a small step in a big trend as Valve comes into the console race. Think of Big Picture as the software or Operating System to the hardware. While Valve has finally confirmed that they are indeed in the hardware race, Big Picture will let your TV get a lot more than just playing your Xbox. As an example, let’s say you have a small multimedia PC that you use for

The Guys Behind Amnesia Are Working On A New Project

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Seung Lee

Well, before I go any further, props should be given to Frictional Games and its Amnesia: The Dark Descent for finally breaking the one million sale mark. But company owner Thomas Grip says in a blog post: Despite that huge number of sales, what I think is more interesting is how good the monthly sales still are. Not counting any discounts, the monthly full price sales lie at over 10 000 units. This means that less then every 5th minute someone in the world is buying a copy of Amnesia. This is totally insane to me. The figures themselves are

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Broken Joysticks

Before you start panicking, remember Capcom isn’t the ones who make Tekken Tag Tournament. It was discovered that on top of the forty nine characters on the disc and four free DLC characters for pre-ordering, there was an additional six characters found by players who were mining on the game’s data code.  Those six characters are Slim Bob; the skinny version of Bob who was shown in his Tekken 6 ending, Sebastian; Emilie de Rochefort (Lili)’s butler who follows her around, Miharu Hirano; classmate of Ling Xiaoyu and Jin Kazama who appeared as an alternate skin for Xiaoyu in Tekken 4,

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 is my most anticipated title of 2012. While the days are going by (11 to go from today) Gearbox keeps feeding us more and more new information. Today they launched the skill tree builder for everyone to check out. It gives you a preview as to what you want to do with your character – plan ahead so to speak. Unfortunately, the Mechromancer’s skill tree isn’t available – only the four launch characters. Here are the direct links to each characters page, though I’m not sure if you can go directly to them because of the age gate.

Thunder Wolves Flies In With A Trailer

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Ubisoft and Most Wanted Entertainment have announced a new helicopter game called Thunder Wolves. It almost makes me reminisce about games I played way back when such as Nuclear Strike and Soviet Strike. What would it take to get those on XBLA? Anyways, Thunder Wolves will feature over 30 weapon/chopper combos and feature co-op play – one will fly the chopper and the other will shoot. Not sure how that will play out, but we’ll see (I’d prefer both players have their own chopper…but I’m not making it am I?)

If you can’t wait to get your hands on the upcoming open-world MMOFPS from Sony Online Entertainment, Planetside 2, then the new Alpha Squad promotional package is absolutely for you.

Remember Me In This 10 Minute Gameplay Video

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Remember Me is a new IP that Capcom announced at GamesCon 2012 earlier this year. This trailer shows off some footage directly from the presentation that was at GamesCon. Remember Me looks like it will be a pretty decent title, just get some of that dialogue fixed up a bit and this game will be worth remembering. [youtube id=”QqI590COEc” width=”600″ height=”350″] Remember Me is set to launch May 2013.
