With an insanity-causing mug that only a mother could love Cthulhu returns in an updated version ofCthulhu Saves The World.

This seems like the full version of that teaser that showed up not too long ago. The first thing that jumps right out at you is the improvement on the technical front, Gears 3 looks a lot better than the previous games and the shots of the campaign show off some amazing things that we didn’t see in the beta.

The
sequel to Sucker Punch’s electric smash hit of 2009 is nearly here
and, with the launch date of June 7th just weeks away, Infamous 2
is under the spotlight once again with high expectations. More
action-packed gameplay, bigger bosses, louder explosions, and better
visuals are all part of the itinerary, but how will the game address
some of the original’s other shortcomings? Infamous helped to
introduce many new mechanics in open-world gaming and did so in
mostly spectacular fashion. However, the game fell short with its
plot and suffered from a bit from repetition and erratic difficulty
toward the end. The title was also a tad rough around the edges in
regards to performance and graphics quality. At times the heavy
aliasing and blurry textures were very prominent and the frame rate
would take an occasional dive. The developers have stated that
Infamous 2 would feature a number of improvements in order to
address some of these issue, which will supposedly result in a
smoother experience. This points to a more optimized game engine and
higher resolution textures, but no specifics have been revealed.
