Max Payne 3 Coming March 2012

While not giving a specific date, Rockstar has stated that Max Payne 3 – the long delayed sequel to the popular 2003 bullet-time shooter – will be released sometime in March 2012.

So far, the multiplayer will
be included and the original game will be available for mobile devices
with improved controls, textures and a general HD upgrade. It will be
interesting to see what it
looks and plays like. I’d love to play a cover shooter as a character
who isn’t just another generic-looking soldier type. If the gameplay is
solid in the new game, I might
just have to pick it up. 

From Dust is Coming to PSN

From Dust, winner of Game Critic’s Awards Best Strategy Game of E3, is
coming to PlayStation Network on September 27.  In From Dust, players
are given the power of The Breath, described as a mysterious power used
by primitive tribes to battle against the forces of nature.  The game
allows players to take advantage of the elements in the environment to
complete objectives and make areas of the level accessible to their
tribe.  For example: players can collect lava out of the crater of a
volcano to construct a mountain or wall.  Other level elements like sand
and water can be collected and deposited where the user sees fit.

Gearbox Wants Ideas for Borderlands 2 CE

You’d think it would be easy for essentially an entire
building full of nerds to come up with some cool nerdy stuff to go with the
super duper edition of their next game.

Space Marine Review

While not perfect in and of itself, Warhammer 40,000: Space
Marine is by far one of the best video game entries into the
twenty-four-year-old licensed property to date, bringing with it an
incredibly fun and
fan-service riddled campaign and some relatively standard but competent
multiplayer.


Relic has been making games set in the Warhammer 40k universe since the
original RTS title Dawn of War back in 2004, and it is very clear many games
later that they above all game studios truly understand the license. With
that said, up until now they have only made real-time strategy titles based on
Warhammer so I was incredibly skeptical of Space Marine’s quality, and in some
ways it definitely shows that Relic has made very few action titles before.

Little Bit of LittleBigPlanet 2 News

In the PlayStation Blog today a bunch of news dropped in regards to
LittleBigPlanet 2.  First of all, and what makes the rest of the news
more appealing, LittleBigPlanet 2 is now $39.99.  In addition, an update
for LBP2 brings PlayStation Move support into the fray!  Finally, for a
limited time, you can dress your Sackboy up in a free “World Peace”
costume.  So if you still don’t have LittleBigPlanet 2 and you just
needed the littlest of pushes, wait no more!

‘The Impossible Game’ Coming to PS Store

The
video below will clue in anyone that is not familiar with this demonic
little title that appears deceptively simple. Odds are you might have
even skipped reading this to watch that video and are now reading it
thinking “that doesn’t look so hard,” which is what many think upon
first seeing the game played.

The Impossible Game
came out in 2009 and brought frustration to anyone that played it. It’s
very simple to understand; you control an orange square and simply have
to jump over, under or on top of black squares to get to the end of the
level. It’s easier said than done as a simple mistake will put you
right back to the start of the level. This version also includes a
practice mode and an exclusive new level for its release tomorrow. You
will also net 25% off if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber so there’s
really no reason to not check this out. Unless of course you’re not a
masochist with a dozen controllers and TVs to spare.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

In some ways, Deus Ex: Human Revolution feels like a window
into an alternate history, a world where intensely detailed and complex
video games stayed popular and kept big budgets, rather than
streamlining their experiences to make them slicker and more accessible
to a broad audience. The game has a number of concessions to modern
design practices, and lacks the polish of other modern shooters. But
that throwback feel keeps it constantly compelling. It’s a game with a
fresh face but an older heart, one that makes for a unique experience
all the way through.
