The Gears of War 2 video reviews are coming in. A few posted below for your convenience. Needless to say, the game is scoring in the 90-100% range. I want it... now please.
The GameTrailers video review for Fallout 3. I'm eager to get going on the game, but I need to work my way through Far Cry 2 first... and I'm not going to rush it.
The playable demo for Mirror's Edge is being released October 31, 2008 for the XBox 360. Download it... obviously. Here's trailer for the demo.
I really liked Greg Hastings Paintball on the original XBox. It was tightly controlled, had solid gameplay, and was an overall good representation of the sport. This new title looks very similar, and the field designer is a cool added feature.
I'm really hoping for 2 things: A good single-player campaign, and the ability to play co-op through that and in matches against AI opponents. That's something I could get into with a friend on a very regular basis... as we both don't get out to the field like we used to.
Far Cry 2 is getting great reviews, and I'm ecstatic to see that. I've been watching it for years and anticipating it more each time I saw it. Now that the final reviews are in, it's all over but the shooting, burning, and building. GameTrailers always has great video reviews, and this one sums up nicely why Far Cry 2 deserves your time.
EA confirmed today that two sequels to games I loved are one the way... sometime in the not-too-distant future. Those games? Army of Two and Battlefield: Bad Company. It's all good news in my book, especially if they fix a few of the annoyances in Army of Two... but leave the gun pimping in.
Dead Space, which is doing well both critically and (I think) in terms of sales will also see a sequel.
Remember that awesome trailer "Mad World" used to promote Gears of War? Well, there's a similar one done up for Gears 2, and it's also really well produced and worth watching a few times. You can see it over a Yahoo Games right now.
Another mini-documentary by the Gears of War 2 team, outlining the artistic nature of their game, their artistic vision, and stuff like that. It's really just an excuse for more new footage... and that's fine by me.
So what happens when professional freerunners get their hands on Mirror's Edge? Is it realistic? Is it an accurate portrayal of their sport? Or is it a cool video game, but really nothing like actual freerunning? Take a look.... and feel the hype build on this very unique title.
There really are too many great games coming out this holiday season.
New footage and information on Call of Duty: World at War's multiplayer options and perks system. I gotta say, it looks good... and the perk of unleashing dogs is really really cool. Man, I hope they spent the time needed to polish this one properly.
IGN put together this cool Gears of War 2 Multiplayer preview video... just to make us want the game all the more.
There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with the Far Cry 2 map editor... and this video gives you some ideas. Very impressive, certainly. I'm eagerly awaiting reviews, though early numbers put it in the 90% range... which is awesome.
