You have to wonder if the voice actors for the latest instalment of the Call of Juarez franchise were paid in the form of a swear jar. If that was the case, the cast would likely be millionaires by now. Sadly, this is just the hairline fracture on a title that suffers from multiple flaws throughout a game that frankly brings down the series to a standard that the franchise just doesn’t deserve.
Today Edios Montreal announced a partnership with online fashion retailer Musterbrand…LLC to release a range of Deus Ex Human Revolution clothing, including the jacket as worn in game by protoganist Adam Jensen.
A game that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve, From Dust is the brainchild of Another World creator Eric Chahi. Playing as an unseen force known as The Breath you’re tasked with ensuring that the primitive tribesmen of the world manage to survive and thrive against the challenges of an unforgiving world. But behind an initially impressive concept and outward appearance, some cracks appear behind these relatively solid foundations.
The kid looked at his screen. The glow from the monitor taunted him as he began to type, filling up the white void with text about a game. A game with a narrator, commenting on his every move. He stopped, and thought back, back to the time he started playing the game…
Valve have lifted the lid on the process of making their hilarious Meet the Medic video in a blog post on the Team Fortress 2 website. In it, they describe the different concepts they went for before finally deciding on the finished product, including ideas of the Medic on a train, how they almost made the video Meet the Medigun and exactly where the Blu Spy head in the fridge came from, including some work-in-progress footage of the short. It’s…
Focus Interactive have today released some new screenshots of their upcoming game based on the current hot property: Game of Thrones: Genesis. The strategy game, being developed by Blood Bowl developers Cyanide Studios, promises to take players “into the heart of the battles and intrigues between the Houses that shaped the Kingdom of Westeros.” Covering “more than 1000 years” of the history of the A Song of Fire & Ice Saga, we’re promised that victory will come from “more than…
So you may have read yesterday that Chris didn’t think much of Terraria, the game that has seemingly taken Steam by storm in a relatively short amount of time. He stated his main problem with the game is that, in his words, he didn’t want to invest the time in the game to get the most out of it. By doing so, I think he’s caused himself incredible disservice. So in an effort to turn him around to the light…
And so begins the final conference -that of Nintendo. Of course the big reveal is going to be Project Cafe/Nintendo/Wii HD or whatever they’re calling it, but obviously there’s going to be a few other announcements we’re hoping for, not least some more 3DS games and some form of response to Sony’s impressive reveal of Vita last night for their own 3DS – it certainly needs some more killer titles behind it if it hopes to keep up.
To say Sony have had a rough few months is a bit of an understatement. But hopefully with the incident now largely behind them, E3 is going to be the best opportunity to show how exactly the brand is going to win back fans and re-establish it’s position as a top player in the games industry. Whether it will actually manage that remains to be seen, but we do know the NGP and Uncharted 3 are two of the tools…
And now onto Ubisoft. Home to fitness games, Rayman and Tom Clancy. We’re expecting to see some appearances from Maniaplanet (that’s Trackmania 2, Questmania and Shootmania) – almost certainly more from Ghost Recon Future Solider and Online and as ever, a few things we’re not sure about yet. Let’s kick back and brace ourselves for another round of commentary and announcements from E3 2011:
