FIFA 12 won’t be out until later this month. Perhaps that will be enough time for EA to fix these wonderfully hilarious bugs.
The FIFA 12 demo was released on Xbox Live and for PC on Sept. 13, and it was released on the PSN on Sept. 14. The game goes on sale Sept. 27 in North America.
Check out the official launch trailer for Child of Eden, all set for a September 27 release.
Child of Eden is a unique rail shooter from Ubisoft, where the player’s mission is to save Eden from a virus in order to restore hope and peace.
Child of Eden incorporates fast-paced action, music and the accuracy and fluidity of the PlayStation Move and Kinect system. With either the Playstation Move or Kinect system players can aim and shoot with the flick of the wrist, as well as change weapons at will as they eliminate objects that zip towards them in a variety of environment and game levels.
Additional features include the compatibility with standard PS3 and XBOX 360 controllers. Child of Eden is the “multi-sensory shooter” that will send players diving into a kaleidoscopic matrix of synchronized music and mind-blowing visuals.
Child of Eden thrusts players into the center of a battle to save Project Lumi, a mission to reproduce a human personality inside Eden, the archive of all human memories. As the project nears completion, the archive is invaded by an unknown virus. The Player’s mission is to purify Eden from the virus to restore hope and peace.
“Codemasters: Birmingham” really doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Eidos: Montreal” or “2K Czech” does it? But despite its inauspicious origins, their F1 2011 is looking pretty snazzy. Also, from my non-F1-caring-about perspective, massively daunting. It reminds me of when F1GP2 came out in 1734, and my tiny brain couldn’t understand why you’d play a game where touching gravel once in three hours was a game over. But that’s because I’m an idiot of the highest order. Check out the launch trailer for the game below.
It’s almost climbed out of the uncanny value and onto the other side of photo-realism. It’s freaky. I would say the only weakness is the sense of contact between the tyres and the tarmac.
Coo lummee. The game is out on the 23rd. i.e. Friday.
X-Men: Destiny has you playing a new recruit amongst comic’s motley mutant band and promises a branching storyline that features a deep element of choice.
The first thing you’ll need to keep in mind about X-Men Destiny is that you won’t be playing as the most famous of mutants. Nope, you’re not going to be tearing people apart with Wolverine, nor will you be taking down enemies using Beast’s overwhelming powers of science and math. In this game, you start as a green recruit and use a little help from friends to get your journey rolling.
Destiny plays like an accessible beat-’em-up with some overarching role-playing elements to add extra substance to the action. We managed to tear our way through the demolished streets of San Francisco with ease, thanks to the game’s fairly simple control scheme, which used two face buttons to mix up Aimi’s light and heavy electrical attacks.
It’s a very easy game to pick up and play, but there are a number of flourishes that add some flair to the action. Our favorites were the times when a text prompt on the screen told us there was one enemy left to take down; we then shattered the text prompt with a ground pound, along with the enemy. Yes, you can destroy both enemies and interface text with the same attack. Pretty cool.
Direct from this weekend’s Tokyo Game Show, the bullet-time heavy, completely gameplay-free trailer for Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.
Why no gameplay? Well hell, you’ve already seen what Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 looked and played like, and you’ve seen videos of the new combatants in action. Let Capcom’s random CG department have some fun for once. Oh look, we can see inside Spider-Man’s web and right down Morrigan’s cleavage! You can’t buy that kind of sleepy slo-mo excitement. I might have to take a nap.
Radiant Silvergun proves that great core mechanics stand the test of time, though its severe difficulty could derail the unprepared.
The Good:
Interesting weapon upgrade system
Persistent stats offer rewarding growth
Solid controls give you complete command of your ship
Seven weapons offer lots of strategic diversity.
The Bad:
Incredibly difficult for newcomers
Grinding to become more powerful is tedious.
Score: 8.0 / great
Kung Fu High Impact is a martial arts adventure game for the Kinect on the Xbox 360.
So, there’s a new Syndicate game. Still not quite sure what to think about that. Anyway, here are the first official screenshots from the title.
EA just sent through a press release confirming the game’s existence, as well as all the information contained in the leaked info we posted over the weekend.
Tiny versions of some of these screens were included in that leak, but here they are in a size where you can actually see what’s going on.
“Our goal with Syndicate is to provide a challenging action shooter for today’s gamers as well as fans of the original. I’m sure they will enjoy and recognize the legacy that made it such a classic,” EA’s Jeff Gamon says in the press release. “Fans of the franchise will recognize many weapons and environments in the game, but in a whole new way. The game also provides a separate and deep 4-player co-op mode featuring missions from the original cult classic, which adds another layer of depth to the overall experience.”
It’s coming for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and is expected sometime in “early 2012″.
Xbox 360 and PS3 remake dated; PS3-exclusive Double ‘O’ Edition bundled with Move and Sharp Shooter peripheral plus downloadable Moonraker villain.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception may be the biggest PlayStation 3 exclusive hitting stores on 11-1-11, but it’s not the only one. Activision today announced a November 1 release date for the PS3-exclusive Double ‘O’ Edition of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which will arrive at retailers the same day as the standard Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game.
The Double ‘O’ Edition of the game will come bundled with Sony’s PS3 Move and Navigation controllers, a PlayStation Eye camera, and the Sharp Shooter peripheral shell. It will also have an exclusive downloadable character in Hugo Drax, the villain from the Bond film Moonraker. Drax will be playable in the game’s multiplayer component, armed with his laser pistol from the film. Activision didn’t announce a price for the bundle, but a similar offering for SOCOM 4 sold for $150 earlier this year.
Built on a new engine and overhauled from last year’s Wii version, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded will feature a single-player campaign that lets players employ gameplay modifiers (infinite ammo, Golden Gun mode), with additional MI6 Ops challenge levels and an expanded Time Trial mode. For multiplayer fans, the game will let up to 16 players compete online with new modes, maps, weapons, and characters from the Bond universe.
It’s a battle so titanic that only Tokyo, birthplace of giant mutated monsters, could possibly hope to contain it! This isn’t about Street Fighter X Tekken anymore. It’s all about Rufus X Bob.
Seriously, they could have just released Rufus X Bob and I would have gladly paid $60 for it. Just look at how much fun they’re having in this Tokyo Game Show trailer!
