Bioware's latest is certainly a departure, but nothing along the lines of a new Uncharted-like game.
It appears we can put two rumors to bed. Command & Conquer Generals 2 is officially coming and it's also Bioware's brand new project - a departure from their typical RPG work. Not much else is known about the game right now, but more information is likely on the way in the upcoming week.
A blue shell at the finish line knocks it out of first, but you can't complain about finishing in the top three.
After seven entries, it's perfectly understandable to start feeling the fatigue of any series, especially one like Mario Kart where very little changes from entry to entry. However, it's hard to ignore excellence. While Mario Kart 7 is only slightly different, it's so well-executed it should not be overlooked.
Frank's taking a break in paradise.
Can Frank ever catch a break? Just months after the release of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Capcom is already teasing another zombie packed adventure with our stalwart hero/journalist Frank West.
The HD remake is done and ready to catch some outlaws.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD was originally supposed to be released this past Easter. After horribly missing that day, Gamespot has confirmed that the HD remake will be released on December 27, 2011 for the PlayStation Network for $15.
Wanted: One Employee For The Biggest Franchise In Video Games.
A job listing on Gamasutra reveals that Sledgehammer Games is looking for a Senior Online Engineer for work on an upcoming title in the Call of Duty series. It is unknown what the next installment in the franchise will be but some rumors suggest a sequel to Black Ops. The listing originally redirected to Activision's site but that has been pulled, although the job listing remains.
The DLC is called the Mediterranean Travelers Pack.
Gamestop keeps on leaking upcoming products...and here's the latest. Set for a January 24, 2012 release, new downloadable content for Assassin's Creed Revelations is coming and it's called the Mediterranean Traveler Map Pack, according to Destructoid. GameStop's listing has it retailing for $9.99.
Luckily, you can get another one free.
There has been a recent trend of publishers implementing Online Passes in a lot of their games with online play. Whether you agree with this practice or not, when it comes to buying games brand new, you expect your code to work and to be able to play online.
An epic game with epic bugs
The creation of the sixth installment of the Heroes of Might & Magic series sent the small turn-based RPG gamer niche through various emotional highs and lows. The two biggest sources of concern was the renaming of the brand to Might & Magic Heroes (which made many think back to the failed 3DO series), plus the “dumbing down” of the unit tiers from the almost double digit tiers to just three. It seemed that the things that made it great would be forsaken in pursuit of the lucrative mainstream market.
While fun with friends, this addition to the Scene It? franchise lacks the substance to make a lasting impression.
Scene It? has been around for a while now and there have been more than a few video game adaptations of the popular DVD/film based trivia game. Now the game based on the premise of useless cinematic know-how has wound up on the PSN and XBLA as a downloadable game. The move to a digital format makes perfect sense for this type of game, but this stripped down version fails to capture the more fleshed out experience we've come to expect from the franchise.
No lions, tigers, or bears here, but we're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
Imagine a world where schools are secretly facilities to train kids to become fighter pilots. There is an underground spy at the school masquerading as a science professor. The fate of the world is at hand! Does any of this matter? Oh no it doesn't. Skimpy clothes on teenage anime girls, bullets, bullets, and more bullets, along with several boss fights define Otomedius Excellent.
