Resident Evil Creator Intends on Bringing First 3-D Horror Game!

The next “Next-Gen” revolution is shaping up to be directly opposite what this current gen has become. When the original XBOX and PS2 did so well, companies braced for the current console gen of XBOX360 and PS3 by gobbling up small dev houses and created huge studios. Citing that the move to HD would require great resources and creative talent to create games. As project costs continue to rise, we’ve seen a large number of fairly successful developers close their doors or be shut down by the parent company in order to drive “revenue” for the under achievers in the umbrella.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing: Super Sonic Karts

Poor Sonic. He’s had such a bad run of games, and even worse run of racing games, that when “Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing” was announced most gamers just wrote it off as something not even worth trying. After all, “Sonic Drift,” “Sonic R,” and “Sonic Riders” aren’t a stellar line up of predecessors. However, Sega made the wise decision to open up the roster to include characters from outside of the Sonic universe, and that idea alone makes this game better than all the rest, but is that enough to make it a worthy purchase?

Warning: New Brink Trailer May Cause Jaws To Drop

I don’t care how the game turns out, but this video already has my nomination for Trailer of the Year. Aside from the excessive use of face masks (it’s not Slipnot: The Game) everything about this clip looks amazing, from beginning to end. Before I saw this I didn’t care one bit about “Brink,” but now Bethesda, you have my full attention. Impress me.

Might & Magic Clash of Heroes In HD Makes My Day

In a surprising turn of events, the under-the-radar “Might and Magic Clash of Heroes” DS game is being ported for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. What? You say you’ve never cared about Might & Magic games? Yeah, me neither, until “Clash of Heroes.” I feel like I don’t really need to explain myself after I state one simple fact: Capy made it. Therefore, it is awesome.

Oily, Messy, Fun – Capcom introduces Ya?l? Güre? to SSF IV!

Seriously, Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV developers was having a great ol’ time when you take a look at the new Hakan character. Impressions are divided – you either love him or you hate him.  Hakan is, by far, one of the greatest odd balls for Capcom to release onto the general populous in a long time. [Continue Reading]

Mafia II Trailer Puts You In The Shoes Of A Wise Guy

2K has a pretty solid release schedule for this year, and one of the highlights is definitely “Mafia II”.

Just check out the trailer above to see what you can expect when the game comes out later this year.

New Just Cause 2 Trailer Lets You Know That There’s A Demo Now Avalible

The original “Just Cause” had its problems. However, the sequel seems to have cleaned up its act and become a lot of fun to play. If you don’t believe me, you can now find out for yourself, and download the new demo which is available on PSN and Xbox Live (gold members only) before the game comes out next month. If you still need convincing, just check out the trailer above… there, now that should do it. GO DOWNLOAD IT NOW.

Aliens Vs. Predator Review: Commence Intergalactic War

Taking two classic science fiction action movies and mashing them together into one co-existing world is a daunting task, no matter what source material you’re dealing with. But, it’s particularly challenging when the overall concept is something that has been happening, at least in the imaginations of fans, for the last twenty or so years, and that’s exactly has been happening with the Alien and Predator franchises. Sure, they’ve had a few movies made about them together, but Sega’s “Aliens vs Predator” is the first time the two warring factions have ever made it into the hands of console gamers. That alone should raise a few eyebrows, but when you add into the mix the fact that the game offers players the ability to play as all three species; Xenomoprh, Predator, and Human, it should do a little more than just raise eyebrows.

Dev Box Interview: Zoë Mode’s Producer Brynley J. Gibson

It usually takes a small army to create the video games that we play, and, most of the time, all of the focus gets put on the game itself, and not on the people that came together to make it.

In this week’s Dev Box we are letting Zoë Mode’s Producer Brynley J. Gibson, who recently worked on the the charity game “Chime” for Xbox Live Arcade (which if you haven’t picked up yet, you totally should – it’s for a good cause) provide us some insight into who he is as a gamer, and how he ended up working in the game’s industry.
