It appears as if gamers are still not ready to go fully digital. While many welcome the idea, there seems to be something keeping many from going the full digital route. From a report through the NPD, it seems that gamers, even when preferring digital, still buy a physical copy of a game. Gamers that prefer digital games over physical, still play far more physical copies of games over digital. Also, the increase from players that prefer digital, to actually playing more...
In a post on EA.com, Steve Papoutsis announced that Amy Hennig has now joined Visceral Games, makers of the Dead Space franchise. As Steve said in the post, she’s most likely working on a new Star Wars game; “Over the last few weeks, Amy and I have spent a lot of time talking about what her first project would be. There are a lot of different directions we could have gone, but I could sense that what really excited her about this opportunity (because let’s...
In spite of April tomfoolery, Activision steamed forward and stealth released a new DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. The DLC, named Actual Ghosts, does not have a price but rather runic symbols that feel familiar despite being untranslatable. We can expect to see a patch soon though as we are hearing cases of a glitch that causes your system to scream ceaselessly upon downloading Actual Ghosts. It contains 666 new maps, 664 of them being a single cell that your character...
EA Sports UFC should be coming out soon (no release date yet, just Spring 2014) and I’m pretty excited to check it out in person. Just from what we’ve seen so far, it looks at if EA’s Ignite engine will raise the bar for the franchise. It boasts a new locomotion system, full body deformation, obvious real-time damage and what seems most interesting to me, exertion. In many of the UFC games passed, your fighter would get tired from too much action and...
Second Son is the first inFAMOUS game that does not feature Mr. Cole McGrath as the protagonist. This time the lead is Delsin Rowe, voiced by Troy Baker. Delsin is part of the Akomish Indian tribe near Seattle, Washington; the location in which this latest chapter of the inFAMOUS series takes place. Second Son moves the story along quickly, revealing to us and Delsin himself that he is a very unique conduit when he absorbs the smoke powers of an escaped fugitive. ...
Before we begin let us get my personal bias out of the way. I loved Batman: Arkham Asylum, loathed Arkham City, and did not even bother to play Batman: Arkham Origins. With that in mind, Batman: Arkham Knight has me hopeful. Current-Gen hardware is still something of a mystery in terms of what is possible. Rocksteady could create a living world, full of secrets and joy. They could also create a stark wasteland, full of meaningless collectables and even more meaningless fetch...
Today at the United Kingdom based gaming expo EGX Rezzed, Creative Assembly announced the release date for the upcoming Alien: Isolation. Prepare to soil yourself with fear on October 7th on PS4 and Xbox One as well as on PC and last-gen consoles. October has historically been a good time to release a horror game, what with Halloween right around the corner. As reported earlier, Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game that acts as a direct sequel to the...
Game Workshop’s Mordheim will get a video game adaption and I could not be happier. I am a Games Workshop fanboy. Even as I write this my living room table has three separate warhammer armies in different stages of completion. So when I read that another one of their tabletop games would get a video game adaptation, I peed my pants a little bit. You know, in excitement. Focus Home Interactive, the same company that published Blood Bowl, and Rogue Factor formally announced...
The 16-bit side-scrolling mech shooter GIGANTIC ARMY came out on Steam on March 6 and feels like the arcade games I played more than 15 years ago. I would rather this game stay in the past with the other arcade games from that part of my life. GIGANTIC ARMY takes less than a hour to beat in a single run, and you have to beat it in one go. In the arcade game style you have four lives, including the one you start with, to make it through the game’s six levels. Which...
