Darksiders Intro


Damn, I want this game. Why can't it be released for christmas? That'd be nice. On a sidenote: I found some videos on the XBL marketplace that are not availlable in the internet.

GS Darksiders Preview


This preview shows a bit more of the exploring and puzzle aspects of the game. I already preordered my Darksiders.

Spec Ops The Line Is A Postapocalyptic TPS


The new shooter from 2k Games - Spec Ops: The Line seems to play in a postapocalyptic Dubai. Gameplay footage looks nice. I'll keep this one under close watch.

Crackdown 2 Trailer


Looks fun. Propably not a must have, but not bad either. I liked the first back in the day. Gameplay was fine, but there wasn't a story you could speak of. Hope they improve that point in the second game.

Halo: Reach Debut


I've heard this is a prequel to the Halo trilogy. Microsoft will make a lot of money with this game and I still wonder how it can be that a game that is loved by millions of gamers doesn't interest me a bit. Perhaps I should Halo 3 give a try again. Some time. Propably never. Poor me.

Dead Space 2 Game Informer Scans



Finally I managed to get the scans for the sequel of this generation's king of survival horror - Dead Fucking Space 2. Enjoy!
Short summary:
- Dead Space 2 plays three years after the first
- This time the necromorphs break out on a crowded massive space station, the Sprawl, with Isaac as the only one who knows how to take them down
- Different as in the first, you won't always be barely alive. There will be moments of superiority over your foes.
- Zero Gravity got pimped up: You'll be able to maneuver and fight!
- New weapon: The javelin gun impales your enemies and sticks them to the wall. Great addition!
- The Sprawl is a lot bigger than the Ishimura. It features many different areas: malls, schools, churches, rich and poor areas.
- Isaac is on the Sprawl when the attacks begin.
- Isaac's character will be introduced really, he's no longer a mute command-taker.
- Like Ripley from Aliens Isaac is a authority on the necromorphs simply by surviving the events of the Ishimura. People will see him as hero and ask for help and advice. But the marker left scars on his mind and Isaac is hit by hallucinations from time to time.
- The telekinesis module got worked over for better combat use. Plus the enviroments are a lot more interactive.
- So called stalkers are new intelligent enemies that hunt in groups and lure Isaac in traps.
- There'll be a multiplayer and it will be possible to strategically dismember your friends. Co-op might be possible in a Gears 2 Horde style.
- The game might come in 2010, but 'a horror experience shouldn't be rushed'



New MOH Debut Trailer


After Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2, the new Medal of Honor game takes it's shot on the modern war scenario. Looks not better or worse than the before named.

Force Unleashed 2 Debut Trailer


There's a sequel coming. Looks like it is a common pattern in this generation for 3rd Person games to have giant bosses that can be slain by hopping on their heads.

Arkham Asylum Sequel Coming!


Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of 2009 and happily this was also reflected by great sales numbers. Great conditions for a sequel and BAM here's the first sign of it. The big villain seems again to be the Joker and he takes the madness of the Asylum on the streets of Gotham. Time for Batman to clean up this mess!

Awesome Mass Effect 2 Teaser



This is a teaser for an upcoming Mass Effect 2 trailer hitting Xbox Live on December 22nd. What's there other to say than awesome?
