Is it an innovative new game about the ethereal undead? Nope. It’s another cookie cutter FPS. One where your avatar has the ability to deliver Arnie style “post-kill quips” at will!

Ubisoft are pimping Far Cry 3′s multiplayer in this new trailer, but will it be decent or just a typcial cookie cutter FPS bolt-on?

Aliens Vs Marine Is AVP In CryEngine 3
Posted on Nov 9, 2012 06:56:22 PM
Colonial Marines isn’t due until February and that’s a long wait for the next attempt to capture the horror of man versus the ultimate murderer. The best parts of Rebellion’s first (and the best) AvP game are the marine levels, at least in single player. Horror games often take away weapons or severely limit ammunition in order to increase tension, but even if you’re armed to the teeth, aliens are deadly and terrifying.
Far Cry 3′s Jason Brody Punches A Shark
Posted on Nov 8, 2012 07:47:36 PM
Admittedly, Jason does other things in Far Cry 3‘s new story trailer aside from punching a shark. But really, is there any tale more gripping or universal than that of one dude, one shark, and one fist?
DINOSAUR ALERT: Battlefield 3 Aftermath’s ‘Epicenter’
Posted on Nov 7, 2012 06:06:17 PM
Well, this is a bit unexpected. Not the fact that more Battlefield 3 maps are on the way. Those will apparently be hewn from the Earth and flung at the microtransaction-loving masses until the end of time. But this new look at BF3: Aftermath’s earthquake-pancaked Epicenter map is oddly serene.
StarForge Falls Out Of Sky, Lands On IndieGoGo
Posted on Nov 6, 2012 10:00:50 AM
We’ve mentioned the astonishingly ambitious sci-fi combat and building game StarForge before, but now it requires a special nod, because the team behind it are trying to raise some money. Based on the extraordinary range of things they’ve already achieved – take a look at the video below for an illustration of that – I would say these are gents who deserve an even break.
Trick Or Retreat: Outlast Mixes Scares, Mirror’s Edge
Posted on Nov 1, 2012 05:46:53 PM
Alright now, everyone, gather ’round. I’m going to tell you a ghost story. One especially spooooooooky sunlit morning, we brought you word of Outlast, a PC-only survival-horror scare-a-thon from a group of folks who worked on Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed, and Uncharted. The attached 50-second snippet of footage seemed to hold promise, but tickled fancies more than it did scarybones.
Mighty Morphine: Painkiller – Hell And Damnation
Posted on Oct 30, 2012 10:00:38 AM
‘Hell and Damnation’ is the kind of exclamation that I imagine might escape the rarely unpursed lips of a country vicar as he stubs his toe on the rector’s boot-scraper when arriving for afternoon tea. Tacked on the end of Painkiller’s colon, it’s probably not intended to sound as quaint as all that but rather to convey the gurgling, catarrh-trembling roar of a heavy metalist. John has already played the opening levels of this remake of the original kill ‘em up, which comes out on Halloween.
Hue & Cry: Crytek Talk Crysis 3 Multiplayer
Posted on Oct 12, 2012 10:00:02 AM
Crysis 3 producer Mike Read has been talking about the new modes for the upcoming game, and you can see them in action below. I’ve no real idea how popular the Crysis multiplayer modes have been over the years. I’ve played all of them, but, well, I can’t ever remember anyone talking about them after release. Mods yes, but vanilla multiplayer? No. Anyone out there actually play it? What are we missing?
