The launch trailer for Epic Games and People Can Fly’s explosive prequel in the Gears of War series is now up for your eyes viewing pleasure. While it might not be launching until March 19th, this trailer is sure to get your blood flowing. Microsoft has also said that if the launch trailer reaches 100,000 views by March 15th they’ll give out a free Window Web weapon skin – try saying that three times fast! The trailer shows off a few new bits of campaign...
More Gears of War: Judgment information!? How can it be!? Apparently so. Microsoft has announced that this Sunday, March 5th you’ll be able to see the unveiling of two never before seen game modes revealed in Epic fashion… get it? This Sunday you’ll be able to see the unveiling of the new Aftermath and Survival game modes in a live stream with everyone’s favorite Hyrbavore, Larry Hyrb, in an event that will allow fans to vote live during the show...
Announced today, Gears of War: Judgment will be getting a “VIP Season Pass” entitling purchasers to a whole boatload of content. Players who purchase the 1600 Microsoft Point pass will receive a permanent double XP boost to multiplayer (seems like an easy way to rank up), early access to two game add-on packs which will include six multiplayer maps and two game modes – three and one in each pack, with early access coming presumably a few days before they go...
Leaked earlier today by GameStop UK, the Gears of War Judgment Kilo Squad edition is arguably the worst limited edition of a Triple A game I’ve ever seen. Claiming to be retailing for 70 Euros (108 USD – the price obviously is incorrect), the Gears of War Judgment Kilo Squad edition features – wait for it – an 18CM Baird NECA action figure and some COG Tags. Now, I love statues just as much as the next guy, there’s a Marcus Fenix, Max Payne, and...
Trailers have become somewhat of a standard for games nowadays, they’re truly the first glimpse into a games soul, and if they aren’t good, chances are no one will even glance at your game.
As of 5:44 EST, Halo 4’s servers are down. All players are being shown as a level 1 SR and all players are being pushed to a “Fallback” hopper of the default playlists. Looks like 343 is well aware of the problem, stating they have no estimate on when they’ll be back up. @sangheili1085 No estimate yet, but we are investigating as quickly as possible. Watch this thread for more info: forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2254… — Halo Waypoint...
Halo 4 is the first Halo game that Bungie hasn’t had some say in, and it shows a little, but I’ll get to that in my upcoming review of the game. There’s one glaring problem with Halo 4 that cannot be overlooked as it affects thousands of people who may not even realise it: The API. An API or “Application Programming Interface” is the thing that allows sites like HaloCharts.com and The Halo: Reach Challenge Initiative to collect information about...
E3 is right around the corner, so it is time to start with my E3 predictions. Last year, my predictions were actually pretty spot on, predicting the existence of Dance Central 2 and YouTube on Xbox 360. As usual, Microsoft is keeping its 2012 and 2013 lineups a bit of a secret. At this point, nobody has a clue as to what is in store. All I know is they will focus more on stuff releasing in 2012 and there will be a major focus on the Xbox 360 as an entertainment...
With the 2012 Independent Games Festival in North America , 14th Annual, coming around the corner on March 5 – 9th in San Francisco, California, it’s no wonder IGF wants to spice things up and give more resources to entrants and winners for their wonderful games. Recently announced on IGF.com, IGF is partnering with Microsoft Studios on a multi-year contract for Xbox Live Arcade publishing benefits. These ‘benefits’ will provide new notable...
