Mirror’s Edge 2 Mysteriously Appears on Amazon

Are the end times near? Is there finally justice in the world? Am I finally getting a game I want for a change? Possibly. Whether by accident or not, Mirror’s Edge 2 floated onto the German version of Amazon today, available for pre-order for the scarily high price of just under 100 Euros.   A clumsy mistake by some butterfingered Amazon employees? Or an ambitious prank by some fans of the greatest first-person parkour action adventure shooter platform puzzler elevator [...]

Remedy Talks Alan Wake 2, Releases Alan Wake Humble Bundle

Batman: Arkham Origins Teaser Released – Batman Begins…Again

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The latest installment in a popular series is going back to its roots, and taking us back to where it all began. Yawn. On the other hand, this is Batman we are talking about here so at the very least I’m intrigued. Today, Warner Bros. has released a teaser trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins. According to the press release, this game “introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events [...]

EA Does Away With Online Passes, Cites Player Feedback

Players spoke and EA (finally) decided to listen! EA’s use of online passes is a thing of the past, according to an interview with GamesBeat. John Reseburg, senior director of corporate communications at EA, announced via email that no future EA games will have content restricted by online passes. Online Passes were designed as a way to combat profits lost to the used game market. In the case of EA, online passes often locked features like access to online multiplayer modes behind [...]

 

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Gameplay Trailer – Exactly What You Think It Is

Assassin’s Creed is a series in which there are about a hundred reasons why I should be crazy about it, but it just doesn’t quite click with me. Thankfully for Ubisoft, my preferences don’t represent the majority of video game fans because every new one they churn out comes up solid gold. The latest installment, entitled Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, features a new character named Edward Kenway. Kenway is a member of the British Navy in the early 1800s, [...]

Payday 2 Releasing On Physical Copies In August

On paper, Payday: The Heist seemed like it would be the perfect opportunity for gamers to get a chance to live the Ocean’s 11 lifestyle and had us master criminal types at the Twinfinite office foaming at the mouth. Unfortunately (or fortunately for real life banks), we make the worst crack team of thieves ever.  Even more unfortunate were the confusing controls, extremely long missions, and the bland gameplay that plagued the finished product and left much to be desired. The sequel is slated to fix all [...]

Ready, Set, Twerk! – Rush Bros. Coming to Steam May 24th

One of my favorite things to do is insinuate music I like into games. The format itself is designed to provide a singular experience to every player, so the addition of music only accentuates that. Games like Audiosurf allow you to integrate gameplay with your iTunes library, creating an endlessly replayable experience that is adjustable depending on whatever is coming up on your playlist. With the upcoming Rush Bros., XYLA Entertainment has taken this concept and thrown it into a [...]
