E3 ’10: Crysis 2 Going 3D

Crysis 2, or the sequel to “That game with those graphics” is moving full-on for a multiplatform, holiday 2010 release. This is big for Crytek, because they’ve somehow figured out how to make their monster-hog of an engine work on consoles while maintaining that unreal visual quality that Crysis had and still does have.

It’s not surprise to see Crytek continue push their love for visual fidelity further, but now they’re going into the realm of 3D. Crysis 2 will have full 3D support right out of the box. Since smart people have yet to figure out how to make it all work without glasses, you’ll have to sacrifice your vanity if you want stuff come right up in your face.

E3 ’10: Medal of Honor Beta Next Week

Among the bigger titles from EA’s E3 conference was Medal of Honor. It’s a big new start for the franchise and EA showed off the game’s 24-player multiplayer mode. The multiplayer is being done by an entirely separate team on an entirely separate engine. While EALA toils away at the game’s singleplayer with the Unreal 3.0 engine, DICE is hard at work at making the multiplayer on their own Frostbite engine. It look impressive and it doesn’t look like DICE has just transferred their Battlefield look and feel onto Medal of Honor’s multiplayer, which should help with any identity issues it might have with Bad Company 2. The only problem is how it looks so similar to that other game everyone plays, which is a much bigger problem. At least the sound design is up the usual DICE standards.

E3 ’10: Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam This Winter

I like colons too. Long-winded and goofy title aside, Bad Company 2 will be getting an expansion pack set in Vietnam by the end of this winter. Sounds exciting, considering the only map packs that have been out so far have been the VIP map packs, which reuse existing maps and rejigger them to fit into different gametypes. At least they’re free and Arica Harbor on Conquest is really something. Bring C4. A lot of it and you’ll do fine. Not much has been said about it. It’s just one of the many announcements from EA’s E3 conference.

E3 ’10: The Old Republic Trailer

E3’s hit the ground running and within this marathon of games is another CG trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Once again, absolutely, 100% not representative of how the game will play, but is absolutely, 100% freakin’ amazing to watch. 

It’s 5 minutes of the Star Wars you wished George Lucas could’ve rendered onto the big screen. Until then, we’ll have to depend on BioWare to make it happen, with maybe a little Obsidian on the side for a Knights of the Old Republic III? I digress. Enjoy this:

E3 ’10: Laser Tag. Seriously.

At Ubisoft’s press conference, they announced “What all gamers have been waiting for,” a laser tag game. I’m not one to judge a game by its E3 demo, (Actually, yea I am) but this looked bad.  Battle Tag is the name. It’ll ship with two guns, two harnesses, and four clip things. To be honest, we […]

True Blood – Bad Blood (Season Premiere)

True Blood is back to solidify its position as one of the most popular shows on TV. Last season had ratings of around 12.5 million a week, which made it the second most watched HBO production after The Sopranos. But can it continue to wow and surprise, or has True Blood lost its bite?

First a quick recap for those, like me, who have the memory of a drunken old woman. There are a multitude of details that I won’t mention, but these are the salient pieces of information that will certainly be important for the upcoming season.

Video Analysis of Kinect

Ray’s not here right now. Well, none of us are… anywhere, but Ray’s currently at E3 and he’s got a chance to have a go with Kinect, Microsoft’s HD camera peripheral. Ray Carsillo had a chance to get a hands on demo with Project Natal, now officially called “Kinect”, and gives his first impressions of the new Xbox 360 peripheral.
