On October 25 a public beta for the highly anticipated Killzone 3 will be made available, although this tantalizing trial will only be accessible for active PlayStation Plus subscribers.
But even if you are a Plus subscriber, in order to actually be one of the lucky 10,000 (5,000 for both the
There are many tough things that game developers do right that we take for granted. The story, the characters, the way the characters interact, the gameplay, etc. are all important things. Very rarely does a game actually achieve all of those things, I haven’t found a game that does since Metal Gear Solid 4. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a fine example of a game that gets so incredibly close to being an amazing game but falls short by just an inch or so.
New York Comic Con is upon us, and we know that can only mean one thing, a slew of announcements. Activision certainly didn’t disappoint, revealing that it will be working with Silicon Knights who are best known for the games Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Details were extremely scarce in the announcem
Rockstar has planned a new bundle release for the latest crop of GTA IV content. Listings from Amazon display Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition which is scheduled for an October 26th release. The bundle will include the core GTA IV game as well as the two DLC episodes The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
When somebody says the word “superhero,” you usually don’t picture Wolverine combing through his inventory and agonizing over how high his defense stat could be.
Yet that’s the picture painted by X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse. You would think the over-the-top antics of comic book superheroes and stat-driven RPG gameplay would be an awkward mash-up, yet X-Men Legends and its successors, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, managed to make that series work for the better part of a decade.
Dead Rising was a very interesting game when it came out. It utilized the power of the Xbox 360 ‘s limits by putting hundreds of zombies on one screen, and offered tons of “unique” usable items. It also had a wacky side that was very refreshing. However that was then, and this is now. With Dead Rising 2 being made by a different developer does this sequel have what it takes to match the excellence of the first, or is this another Crackdown 2?
As some might have heard EA was pressured into removing the option to play as the Taliban in the multiplayer section of the game. This was done on arguments that it would be disrespectful to those who are in, and to the memories of those that have died in the war. A reasonable argument to make since it is a current even, and there are many people out there that might have some relation to someone who has been killed. However even after this the military has not backed off. Even after changing Taliban into “Opposing Force” they have not stepped down. They are continuing to boycott the game, and are still holding on to their claim that they are doing this out of “respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game.”
