Looks like a tough game. Enjoy the video! DigitalChumps.com
EA has several big shooters at its booth this year. Developer People Can Fly is working on one of them, a new IP known as Bulletstorm. Honestly, the intro trailer video we were shown before we got a chance to play it hands on was disappointing, and made me think the game was a lot less interesting than it actually is. But once I got to play it for myself and talk to one of the developers, it becam...[Read More]
Ignition was showing off an interesting new DLC title coming out for $15. Known as Blacklight: Tango Down, this FPS military shooter allows players to deeply customize their weapons and utilize some pretty cool tech to get the upper hand on their enemy. Four player co-op is on the menu too. Blacklight is set twenty-five years into the future and features twelve maps and sixteen player deathmatch s...[Read More]
It’s great to see a franchise as old as Splatterhouse get a reboot. I spent a while today with the playable E3 demo and while I wasn’t quite blown away, I can confidently say I’m looking forward to playing through this one later this year. So the premise in Splatterhouse is that your girlfriend is kidnapped and with the help of this strange talking mask, you are given the power t...[Read More]
I spent several minutes with the new Avatar game based off of the upcoming movie yesterday at THQ’s booth. Available soon for the Wii, the new Avatar game lets players control several different characters from the different Avatar nations, each with unique abilities. I played as the ‘blue’ character — apologies for forgetting his name. The demo took place inside of what see...[Read More]
id’s newest IP in over ten years is Rage. It was demoed for us today at the Bethesda booth. It reminded me a lot of Borderlands, both in visual style and in gameplay, to a degree. Rage also feels like it has a splash of Bioshock in it too, but there’s no question that Rage still has an identity of its own, too. The demo took place about three hours into the main campaign and saw the pr...[Read More]
Bethesda had several great games to show at this E3, including Hunted: The Demon’s Forge. Developed by inXile, Hunted is a dark fantasy co-op game. Players get to play as a bow and arrow wielding female character or a brute force male character as they fight to survive and unravel the mystery that they get caught up in (yeah, they couldn’t tell us much about it at this time). Gameplay ...[Read More]
The fourth Red Faction title is known as Armageddon and will take place below the surface of Mars. We were shown a brief play session which had the protagonist, Darius Mason, cleaning out some of the infected from an underground base. The magnet gun allows players to tag one object, and then another, which makes the first object fly into the second. Using Volition’s GeoMod 2 engine, the dama...[Read More]
For the last several years I have been playing NBA with 2K, but what I saw today with NBA Elite 11 is going to give me the best reason I’ve had to go back to EA Sports in years. Unfortunatey, I can’t divulge any specifics at this time though, as information is embargoed this week. That said I will just say that Elite is shaping up quite well, primarily due to control changes. Check bac...[Read More]
I got to see some of the Kinect’s integration with the Xbox dashboard today, and it’s worth getting excited about. For starters, to get into the Kinect Dashboard interface, all you have to do is wave your hand. When you do, the system will detect you and login your profile. From there, you can navigate your Xbox with voice or with motion commands. For motion, simply move your (right) h...[Read More]
With absolutely no knowledge of the previous installment other than the basic concept, I wasn’t sure what to expect when viewing about a ten minute demonstration of Shogun 2: Total War. At the onset, two giant Japanese feudal armies faced off on a battlefield that was ridiculously massive in scale. Rain poured down, creating mud puddles that actually affected the properties of the terrain. Everyth...[Read More]
Bungie showed off some of Halo: Reach today at the Microsoft booth. As most of you know, Reach’s campaign follows the Noble Squad, a group of Spartans. Not much was revealed about the campaign, but the level we were shown took place in an outside area that looked like a beach. Covenant drop pods were blasting into the landscape, each containing an enemy. The demo took us further up a hill an...[Read More]
