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.

Crime And Pun-ishment: First Person Shouter

Posted on Nov 5, 2012 10:00:49 AM

Often to my own detriment, I am wildly intrigued by things that confuse and frighten me. True story: this kind of thinking resulted in me being chased across a gorgeous Japanese  park by a herd of enraged deer. It’s with a similar mentality that I bring you word of First Person Shouter.

And Now You Can Buy Pid

Posted on Nov 2, 2012 10:00:44 AM

I completely forgot about Might And Delight’s Pid. Last December I saw the first trailer, and my thoughts turned to goshes. Time then went past at a quite inconsiderate rate, and it’s out today. Crikey. And oddly enough, it’s still looking incredibly lovely. I’m going to get my hands on it straight away.

Bioshock Infinite And The Beast of America

Posted on Oct 31, 2012 10:00:38 AM

Bioshock Infinite has seen a few high-profile members of the team leave of late, but that doesn’t seem to have caused it to waver from its February 26th release date. The latest trailer shows off happenings of light and fury, with lots of combat. The skyline, Elizabeth, and the Handyman baddy feature heavily. If the original Bioshock was a colourful and visually offbeat shooter, then we’ll need to dust off rarely used 19th-century adjectives for this one. Go take a look.

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.

Wildfire Worlds

Posted on Oct 29, 2012 10:00:37 AM

The London riots caught us all by surprise. Whether or not they should have done is a question best left to David Dimbleby and his bumbling corral of inquisitors. But one thing I do remember thinking during the unrest, between feverishly refreshing Twitter and peeping at the BBC out of the corner of my eye, is this: someone should make a game about rioting?

Less Pocket, More Monster: Dragon’s Prophet

Posted on Oct 26, 2012 10:00:36 AM

SOE’s new F2P fantasy MMO, Dragon’s Prophet, sounds like Pokemon but dragonier. I mean it, too. That is exactly what it sounds like. See for yourself: “In a world shaped by dragon-kind, more than 300 unique dragons roam the lands. Fight, capture, train and ride them in order to unlock their unique skills and abilities.” But, in reality, that’s only one aspect of its sky-searing DNA. The rest, meanwhile, might seem a bit more familiar if you’re from ’round these PC-friendly parts.

Snikt And Smash: Marvel Heroes

Posted on Oct 25, 2012 10:00:10 AM

When X-Men: The Last Stand crammed in all the mutants it made for a crowded frame and some of Marvel’s most uncanny were rendered as little more than computer-generated blobs of colour. Free-to-play multiplayer online ARPG Marvel Heroes also appears to subscribe to the ‘more actually can be more’ philosophy, but hopefully to greater effect.

Farming Simulator 2013

Posted on Oct 24, 2012 03:48:03 PM

OMG OMG OMG! Due out tomorrow and I can barely contain my excitement. For anyone out there calling themselves a hardcore gamer tomorrow will indeed be a day of jubilation and totally ignoring their loved ones so they can get more gaming done. Just think of all those lettuces waiting to be harvested. Really gets my juices flowing.
