I'm tall, in college, and like to write about games.
It’s been a while since I’ve cried tears of pure joy. Today is one of those rare days.
NBC and Bigpoint have unveiled plans to release an in-browser Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game based on one of the best television shows ever, Battlestar Galactica.
Hey, remember those crazy series of patches Valve slyly added to the original Portal via Steam this week that turned the game totally weird? There was a reason for all of that, apparently.
Gameinformer.com has “informed” us (heehee) that Portal 2 is indeed coming out, thanks to its rather impressive two-part cover due this month.
Yep, more fallout from the Infinity Ward troubles earlier this week.
It seems Activision sent out an internal memo asking for any evidence that ex-studio heads Jason West and Vince Zampella were secretly looking for a suitor outside the company for another Modern Warfare game.
Time for bullet points! Selections from the memo come courtesy G4TV.com and will magically appear after the jump.
Electronic Arts has released the first screenshots of Crysis 2 Wednesday, which suggest that yes, this game is going to look good.
The question still remains, however: Will your PC be able to run it? Hell, will your consoles be able to run it?
Hit the jump for all two screens!
Let’s face it: The Saboteur wasn’t on anyone’s immediate radar until creators Pandemic Studios got canned in late 2009. With virtually no hype and no marketing campaign, the circumstances surrounding the game’s final stages of development were more intriguing to most than the notion of actually playing the studio’s last project.
While the Pandemic brand lives on, the majority of its staff rushed to finish The Saboteur on time, only to be laid off days before its release. Some employees even went so far as to place a countdown clock in the building which predicted their job eliminations while others shook one last fist at the company who shook them off. Of course, the ultimate question was whether or not The Saboteur would be the doomed studio’s swan song or yet another of their current-gen disappointments.
Those who have booted up Valve’s Steam service in the last couple of days may have noticed a rather random update for 2007’s masterpiece Portal.
Shacknews has done some substantial digging and their findings may just point to an upcoming announcement to Portal 2. The patch added a new achievement that unlocks when the player places the radio on the red button during the first level of the game. After unlocking the “Transmission Received” achievement, the radio will disperse a stream of Morse code.
To (hopefully) close Gaming’s Strangest Day, G4TV has informed the world that there’s quite an episode unfolding at Infinity Ward.
The world-famous developer of the Call of Duty franchise is apparently being occupied by a “bunch of bouncer-types” who appeared unannounced. When employees inquired as to their presence, the non-uniformed personnel refused to answer.
While the rest of the gaming populous is focused on the aptly named “ApocalyPS3,” there’s actually some news today.
Last year’s critically acclaimed strategy game, Tropico 3, is getting the expansion pack treatment.
Titled Tropico 3: Absolute Power, the newest installment of the series will add 10 new missions, a new map, and 10 additional islands for sandbox mode along with a plethora of other new tweaks. Details from the press release are under the jump.
Details on the previously announced follow-up to 2009’s smash hit Assassin’s Creed II have popped up in Ubisoft’s third quarter financial conference call. Confirming my suspicions that such a game would star protagonist Ezio, Ubisoft revealed that the hero will romp about Rome subduing the Templar opposition.
What do Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Ubisoft’s own Splinter Cell: Conviction all have in common? If you said third-person perspective… well, yes, but that’s not what I meant.
Seriously, every game under the sun is using colons in the title, and today’s announcement of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier wasn’t going to miss out on that trend. Previously mentioned in an avalanche of Ubisoft news, GR:FS will offer “cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single-player and multiplayer modes.”
