Check Out Halo 4’s Majestic Map Pack In This New ViDoc

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next map pack for 343 industries’ Halo 4 is about to the Xbox Live Marketplace. For just $10 you’ll be able to get your hands on the latest maps – Skyline, Landfill and Monolith. Also included is ten new achivements, worth 250 gamerscore, and new free for all multiplayer game type called infinity rumble.

Landfill is set in the capital city of Casbah, as a covenant battle against the UNSC battles in the background. Skyline is more symmetrical, with a round central corridor surrounding the outside of the map, it looks like a great battleground that takes place indoors. The last map, monolith is set on an asteroid belt with metallic Grey architecture set against a black/blue sky.

Murdered: Soul Suspect Trailer Released

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Joshua Rust

“What is the hardest case to solve?” Well, Square Enix thinks they know the answer with their newly announced upcoming game Murdered: Soul Suspect. It was announced only a few weeks ago, but there has not been much information released on it yet – other than the tagline “What is the hardest case to solve?” and that it is a new Square Enix IP (a developer’s name hasn’t been attached to this project just yet). But today they released a teaser  trailer for you to enjoy!

Of course with little to no details about Murdered: Soul Supsect we can only speculate. I’m hoping for something in the wake of the Sherlock Holmes games, which it could quite fall into that category. Any thoughts on who you think the developer might be? Crystal Dynamics? No release date has been announced, but stay tuned as more information becomes available!

Sony Recaps The Life of PlayStation In 3 New Videos

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Sony’s PlayStation brand has stood the test of time, lasting more than 15 years, despite some out of the gate hiccups with the current generation. It is widely rumored that the PlayStation 4 will be unveiled tomorrow at the “See The Future” event in New York City. To drum up excitement Sony released a series of four retrospective videos on their YouTube channel highlighting various accomplishments. Were you around for the launch of the original PlayStation in ’95?

Each video only runs about 2 minutes and length and while they are slickly produced they do kind of gloss over a few things. Aside from the PS Video, most of them are recaps of the system’s launch with some PR sales number and hit game titles thrown into the mix. The accomplishment of games key to the systems’ success such as Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot and the PS2-era JRPGs are only glossed over, in a favor of news footage. Seems like a bit of a lost opportunity.

Regardless of their content, it is neat to look back and reminisce about everything Playstation. Check out the videos after the jump.Read More
