Filed under: News items, HardwareYou know, our characters take a lot of punishment on a day to day basis. We may get roasted in hellfire, sliced nearly in two, buried alive, or disemboweled in the course of a regular game day. Yet through it all, our characters just keep coming back for more. Haven't you sort of wondered how our characters must feel at the end of a long day of punishment like that? Haven't ...

En respuesta a algunas críticas/comentarios respecto al esquema de controles de Resident Evil 5, que los jugadores occidentales han encontrado demasiado parecidos a RE4 (y por ende obsoletos al contrastarse con cómo los jugadores interactúan con los títulos hoy en día), parecería ser que Capcom de hecho, se encuentra trabajando al respecto. Haciendo algo de memoria, Jun Takeuchi comentaba durante la presentación de Resident Evil 5 en el pasado E3: “Así que no deberían sorprenderse ...

A gigantic, deafening, cacophonous din.Yep, the old-style E3 really was glorious. But in all seriousness, it seems as though most of the internet would kill for a return to the old format. Whether it's because of the muted reception to this year's horribly empty E3 Media and Business Summit, or simply a hangover from ...

Then he backed over it a few times with his car before driving to his giant Scrooge McDuck pool of money and diving ...

My affinity for videogames, especially those of the fighting variety, is no secret. I’ve been known to throw down the gauntlet over every iteration of Smash Bros. since it’s inception (with no signs of slowing) and I’m prone to lecture people on the irreconcilable D-pad found on the Xbox 360 controllers, specifically due to it’s fighting game implications (as well as it’s Bionic Commando: Rearmed implications, but that’s another conversation entirely). It should be no ...

Even though Mirror's edge made Ashcraft a little ill at E3, the game looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride. This quick paced gameplay trailer gives us a little taste of what we can expect.

Game Developer Harmonix changed the video game industry last year by releasing Rock Band, a popular game that uses not only a guitar, but drums and a microphone as well. The game has prompted other games to step their game up by including additional instruments, including Activision’s Guitar Hero World Tour and Konami’s Rock Revolution. In this episode of The Reboot, Harmonix’s John Drake demos Rock Band 2 at E3 2008. The game features a ...

Some people really hated on E3 2008. Said it was boring or there weren't big announcements or whatever. Scott Alexander from Playboy has a nice look back at this year's E3 and what it all means in the big picture. He writes: The old E3 was all the worst parts of nerd culture mashed up with all the worst parts of frat culture. When these two natural enemies join forces it can only presage the ...

Standing next to one of the giant Brotherhood of Steel figures is pretty cool. These things are pretty darn big. Here’s a few shots from the booth. To give you an idea of scale, here’s me aiming a Fat Man at one: But seeing them lined up a warehouse, preparing to invade various retail stores around the world? Darn near imposing. Hit the jump to see the legions preparing to be crated and boarded.

The way to success would be already paved, one reasons, a straight and gold-gleaming road to a permanent place in the world's collective consciousness, and wouldn't the parents be proud?Probably, though, it's a whole lot of stress ...

Despite the overall pessimistic view surrounding E3 2008 and the games industry in general it does seem that many people were unanimously most disappointed with Nintendo’s conference of the big three. I can understand this in some ways, as the scripted acting between Reggie and Cammie Dunaway was awful at best. Ignoring the silly banter by the Nintendo America PR folk, Satoru Iwata’s speech about paradigm shifting really took a hold over me and then ...

Although “Alpha Protocol” is an action-RPG starring a government operative in modern times, I couldn’t help but think of “Mass Effect” when I saw the game at E3 last week. Everything from the dialogue tree to the real-time combat system (replete with an “active skill” wheel that pauses the combat and allows the player to choose a special attack) to the main character’s circular targeting reticule echoed gameplay elements of the best-selling space saga from ...

“Alpha Protocol“’s dialogue system doesn’t just offer a variety of ways for player-character Michael Thorton to get missions. It can also help him pick up women. That is, if you select your responses wisely. When I saw “Alpha Protocol” at E3 last week, senior producer Ryan Rucinski told me that there are “a lot of love interests” for Thorton to choose from. There are several factions in the game that you can ally with or ...
