Digital High Episode 28

So who wants an LCD touch screen on the next Xbox controller, hey now, what’s that old saying about shooting the messenger? We talk about that and more on this week’s Digital High, along with the most surprising news to ever come about in all of gaming, which I’m sure you will be able to figure out on your own. The final piece of season pass DLC for Gears 3 has been detailed with new maps, new character models and even more weapon skins, if there is a record for the most weapon skins in a game, surely Gears 3 must have it by now.

Watch Zombies Being Brutalized In This Resident Evil O.R.C. Trailer

One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Bioware

EA surprisingly revealed last week that copies of Mass Effect 3 will be launched into space. Yesterday, details about the promotion were announced.

We heard shocking news in a press release: “EA and BioWare will be making history by launching the first copies of Mass Effect 3 into outer space! Copies are scheduled to land in San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York and cities in Europe, giving gamers the opportunity to track and collect these limited early copies as they touch back down on Earth.”

Hands On With The Binary Domain Demo

Binary Domain is a cyberpunk cover-based shooting game about shooting robots in Japan while issuing commands to your teammates. This may not seem like the most compelling and original premise in the entire world, but where Binary Domain seeks to stand out is not in reinventing the formula, but rather doing it better and in more compelling and experimental ways. With an emphasis on storyline and squad-based combat, it tries to give a very real, fleshy taste of its gameplay in its demo time. Does it hold up? Is its unique approach to interacting with team members enough to keep the demo interesting?

Rumor: Mass Effect 3 Costumes for Final Fantasy XIII-2?

After an announcement late last year that Assassin’s Creed clothing would be coming to Final Fantasy XIII-2’s Noel as DLC, this latest rumor isn’t as much surprising as it is perplexing.  Apparently Square Enix isn’t planning on stopping the cross-franchise costuming anytime soon, as there is a new rumor floating around that Mass Effect gear is on the horizon for Final Fantasy XIII-2.

SSX Demo Releases Today on Xbox Live

EA Canada’s return to the world of extreme sports and to a series that has never graced the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, SSX, releases its demo today on Xbox Live, and tomorrow for PSN.  It’s been over four years since the series last appeared on the Nintendo Wii.  In an attempt to differentiate itself from other titles in the genre, EA Canada is doing something that seems pretty groundbreaking.

Syndicate Developers Doing What’s Best for the Series

Starbreeze Studios, the Swedish minds behind both critically-acclaimed The Chronicles of Riddick games, are reviving a long-dormant franchise tomorrow.  Syndicate will release in just a few short hours, and fans of the first game, also titled Syndicate (released way back in 1993), are hesitant considering the switch from an isometric tactical shooter to a more modern, first-person perspective.  I’m going to attempt to allay their fears and disappointment, as I firmly believe that this is the correct transition to get this futuristic sci-fi shooter into the attention of gamers everywhere.
