Atlus today released their latest trailer for their upcoming retro action-adventure called “The Most Interesting Hero in 3D.” The video centers around the hero and why he is the most interesting hero in 3D. 3D Dot Heroes looks quite good and should deliver that retro charm that old school fans would definitely enjoy. Check out our preview of the game here and you can check out their website for the latest news here.
GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2010 set an all-time record of 18,250 people attending at the San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center which broke last year’s record of 17,000. This is a different type of convention that centers around developers coming together to discuss how they work on their own projects. Along with these discussions, a couple announcements are made with the games industry including new details on Sony’s new motion controller called Move. GDC has already been set for next year at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco from Monday, February 28 to Friday, March 4, 2011. You can keep up with GDC news at their site.
Bethesda announced today it is adding the title Hunted: The Demon’s Forge to its publishing list which is a Co-Op dungeon crawler in development by inXile Entertainment for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. inXile Entertainment knows its way around these tipes of games; the founder is Brian Fargo who has worked on games like Bard’s Tale, Baldur’s Gate and Fallout. I will say Bethesda isn’t scared of taking any risks, but this looks like it could be a fairly good game judging by the screenshots. Good news for Bethesda with this deal; this adds to their already great looking list of games set to publish including Fallout: New Vegas and RAGE.
Whoa, what a great looking game this is turning out to be. This new trailer shows off some nice looking environments ranging from desert, forestry, and even back to some snowy climates. It starts off a bit slow showing off the CGI cutscenes but it picks up halfway through where it starts into new details. After some brief gameplay, it details their customization options of the characters, goes into some new weapons, and ends with a wide arrange of the enemies you will be facing. To make things simple, watch this trailer because it is damn gorgeous.
MMA is all the hotness lately making it one of the most talked about sports in recent years. UFC released last year without any competition… until now. EA is creating their own game called EA Sports MMA being developed under EA Tiburon. The UFC game was widely received as a great entry into this new wrestling niche so it was only a matter of time before someone else leaped into the market. Controversies are abound with this game where fighters are breaking their contracts to be a part of the EA market. Remember people, it’s all boils down to businesses fighting eachother over money and ownership. The screenshots look pretty though.
When February’s NPD numbers released, Nintendo was in for a treat when the Nintendo DS claimed more than 613,000 sales beating out last year’s record of… itself. Yes, the Nintendo DS last February, that’s after the holiday rush where millions were selling every month, took the record from itself which was originally set at 597,000. The Wii didn’t do half bad either selling around 397,000 which actually put it in second place to the Xbox 360 WHOA. So far this year, Nintendo has sold more than 1.9 million pieces of hardware in 2010 alone… in two months! They even have a new console coming out soon with the DSi XL which will be wrapped up in that DS number stated above. Technically, some people might look at that number and realize that it is two different types of DS hardware (Lite, DSi) and will be adding another to help it claim record breaking sales with the XL.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii still holds the top spot at 555,000 followed by Ubisoft’s Just Dance at No. 4 with 275,000 and Wii Sports Resort bundled with Wii MotionPlus at No.5 with 272,000 sold. It seems like everyone by now should have two DS systems and are already reserving their very own XL. Congratulations Nintendo on completely dominating the video game hardware market.
Street Fighter came back last year stronger than ever showing that 2-D fighters are still popular and still looking damn good. The last character got announced today looking completely ridiculous and could be a nice addition to the roster. Many are looking bad at this game wondering why people bought the inferior version and didn’t wait out for this one but it looks like the game will have enough to justify its reduced price of $39.99. Is Hakan supposed to be a devilish character with his red skin or is he just pumped too many steroids into his body; the guy looks a bit ridiculous…
Well, lets go ahead and get the big news out of the way which is the support for the PlayStation 3 Motion Controller. Tiger Woods already has a firm release date of June 8th (My B-day 
) coming out on the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and iPhone. Also included is the game which is the chance to bring home the Ryder Cup; I don’t know much about sports but it seems to be a big deal in the sport of Golf. Tiger Woods seems to be a great game on about any system it comes out for and should continue with this entry. Oh one more thing to note is that Rory McIlroy will be sharing the cover of the game; I’m sure it has nothing to do with the recent scandals surrounding Tiger… I’m sure of it. Check after the break for screenshots from the game and a video showcasing how to use the Wii version with the WiiMote.

Bad Company 2 has some serious competition, having arrived after the likes of the Modern Warfare series and the epic story that it told through the single player. Bad Company is up for the challenge, making a game that is vastly superior to the first while poking fun of the competition which helps set the mood that is the Bad Company atmosphere. Dice knows how to make a fun multiplayer experience, but the single player of the first bogged the title down and didn’t make the dent it needed to be that great title that gamers talk about for years. I can safely say Bad Company 2 is overall a better game, making the story more enjoyable to play through and creating a new layer to the multiplayer to keep you coming back for more.
