We told you that we’d have more details, and here they are. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was just shown off at the Game Developer’s Conference, so we’ve got tons of details. The biggest news? A change of gameplay styles for the lady tomb raider, and the inclusion of co-op! Hit the jump for the full preview.
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.

Well, Fallout New Vegas now has some gameplay screenshots. Surprise, it looks A LOT like Fallout 3. I was really hoping for more color and glitz with it being in Vegas. But most of these screenshots look like more of those 3 shades of brown that Fallout 3 had. Color me disappointed. Check out the screens below!
Today, GameInformer’s Jeff Marchiafava revealed Portal 2 will be the cover of the next issue. After two unprecedented updates to Portal 1 this past week many fans and journalists had taken the add-on’s as a hint for a sequel or an expansion of some sort. The updates give you 26 audio transmissions you are able to hear through the in game radio, and if you’re so inclined to search– some hidden Morse code recordings. Portal first started off as an experiment that was bundled in The Orange Box with Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2, and it became something bigger than Valve ever thought it would be. Hit the jump for all of the art work.
As the game loaded, a familiar icon showed on the screen. I loved playing Sonic 2 on Genesis, so naturally I missed hearing a chorus of people saying “Sega”. It reminded me of the many hours I spent playing it, so I figured that I’d be playing this game a lot. Developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega, Napoleon: Total War is a strategy and real-time tactics game which focuses on the 19th century. It is the 6th installment in the Total War series and follows successful predecessors, Empire: Total War and Medieval: Total War. +Continue Reading
Steam is not available on Macs. This is something that NEEDS fixed. Valve apparently is either going to fix it soon or is just pulling our leg. These fake ads are funny for sure but this would bring a whole new meaning to the word tease. I have been waiting for this for a long time and steam is probably the only reason I would consider putting windows on my Mac. Please don’t make me do that Valve! Check out the ads below!
A nice looking trailer for a great looking game. Will it be able to bring down its competitor MW2 (or at least steal some of its fans) or will it the multiplayer be cast aside. The trailer shows off some great looking graphics, but like every bad trailer, would rather see more gameplay than cutscenes from the game.
Super Street Fighter IV is coming out later this spring in April. The game is meant to ride on the hype of last years release which was just Street Fighter IV. I don’t know much about street fighter so I can only guess that this one is more…super? Either way, there are some new costumes available for multiple characters. Not sure if these are all that important but if you can get something for free just for putting your name down early I suggest you do so. Check out screens of the costumes below!
Featuring talent from such iconic groups as Blizzard Entertainment, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, AreaNet, and headed by personnel from NCSoft, a new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) focused publishing company has formed in Seattle as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korean company Bluehole Studio, Inc. En Masse Entertainment, named for the common phrase which in French means “all together”, is Bluehole’s initiative to begin adapting some of its Korean products into Western markets.
The Indie Game Challenge was a brand new competition this year with big stakes involved: the two top teams each recieved a whopping $100,000, and the chance to meet with game publishers to make further deals. The results were announced last Friday night, and the winners sound eerily similar.
Bioshock is getting DLC…surprise! 2k has announced that DLC extended both the single player and multiplayer will be rolling out over the next few months.

- New characters available to play Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca

This game is the breath of fresh air the series needed. I remember back when this title was first announced and the screens of shaggy haired Sam Fisher that shortly followed. Today Fisher looks very different, and it looks like the developers are trying to totally redefined the series. For the last couple years a lot of designers were trying to find a way to keep your HUD totally clean so that you can have a fluid and visually pleasurable experience with the game; also giving you a level of immersion that game developers always try to hit on. I think the team at Ubisoft Montreal are probably doing it the best with Splinter Cell Conviction.
