Persona 4 Golden Full Trailer!
Posted on October 24, 2012 by Jesse Lord
PS Vita and RPG fans, rejoice! Your JRPG specialists at Atlus have you covered for an RPG experience set in the Persona universe touting over 100 hours of gameplay! That’s an impressive feat. I am trying to think of the last time that I spent 100+ hours on a game (save for messing around in the GTA games after I’d completed the storyline missions). In any event, they sent us an awesome trailer for Persona 4 Golden and I can’t wait to share it with you. So here goes!

Dead Island: Riptide Collector’s Edition?
Posted on October 16, 2012 by Jesse Lord
In a fit of genius, our friends at Deep Silver have created a survey to find out what you, their loyal fans, want most in a potential Dead Island: Riptide Collector’s Edition! Keep in mind that right now this is just a fact-finding mission for them, and it in no way guarantees that 1) you’ll get the items you want the most from the survey and 2) there will even be a collector’s edition released!
If you want to have your opinion known, go ahead and make with the clicking right about…… HERE.
I’m personally quite excited about Dead Island: Riptide and can’t wait to get back into the shoes of my favorite zombie slaying protagonists!

Dishonored | Review
Posted on October 8, 2012 by Jesse Lord
What would you do with a drunken whaler,
What would you do with a drunken whaler,
What would you do with a drunken whaler,
Early in the morning?
High towers rise up, overlooking long-neglected ruins. Plague runs rampant throughout many of the city’s districts. Houses and apartments are fitted with reinforced blast doors, the sign of another family lost to the powerful and fatal disease. Train cars trundle about down the narrow streets, brimming with canvas-wrapped bodies. Corrupt and power-drunk city watchmen prowl the streets, looking for any opportunity to inflict pain and suffering on the survivors. Huge whaling ships float by in the harbors, off to search for more of their bounty and it’s life-and-power-giving properties.
Welcome to Dunwall.

Hitman: Absolution | Introducing The Kill
Posted on October 4, 2012 by Jesse Lord
IO Interactive, developers of Hitman: Absolution, have released another “INTRODUCING” video, this time showing all of us the multifarious ways in which we can dispatch our targets. True to the assassin’s code, killing is very easy, but the rub is getting away without being found or accused. Some people might like going in guns-blazing and leaving no one left to ask questions or make accusations, but others might like making things look like an accident. Perhaps others would take a complete stealth approach, getting alone with the target, relieving him or her of their life and disposing of the body so no one is the wiser. But enough from me right now – here’s the video:

Tomb Raider | FINAL HOURS EPISODE 2: Origins of a Story
Posted on October 2, 2012 by Jesse Lord
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have released the second FINAL HOURS Episode, titled Origins of a Story, today. This video series focuses on Tomb Raider and it gives a behind-the-curtain look at the different game development processes and procedures as they get closer and closer to retail release. This episode specifically focuses on character design and creation. It features never-before-seen footage from the game, it is hosted at San Diego Comic-Con’s Nerd HQ by none other than the nerd-cred-certified Zachary Levi. It features lead writer Rhianna Pratchett, narrative designer John Stafford, and creative director Noah Hughes. They all speak about the heavy pressures that come from taking an already-iconic and fan-favorite character like Lara Croft and giving her a new look, feel and story. There’s much more to be found in the video, but I will leave you all to it.

The worst thing about this is the fact that I’m not already playing this game. What say you, internets?

This last one is titled “The Mind of Madness” and really sets the stage nicely. October 9th, where are you?! No more words from me – straight to the video:

See the Back-Story of Dishonored’s Dunwall
Posted on September 25, 2012 by Jesse Lord
For those of us who can’t get enough Dishonored information (guilty!), I am pleased to present to you all the following video. The first in the three-part “Tales from Dunwall” video series, The Awakening is set to give a further glimpse into the world that has been created to contain the storyline of the supernatural assassin. A whaling town teeming with Plague, Dunwall is a city of intrigue, oppression and deception.
From the email I received, I discovered that the video was created by Psyop. Each episode was predominantly produced by hand, which I think is fantastic, and it shows. Each frame was a fully rendered style frame, which was then enhanced with 3D elements to add to the painterly atmosphere, dimension and depth of each shot. But enough about the details – let’s get right to the video!

First Dead Island: Riptide Details Emerge
Posted on August 31, 2012 by Jesse Lord
Hot off the press from my fabulous Deep Silver contact, we have the first bit of information on the storyline and gameplay elements of Dead Island: Riptide. Our same four familiar faces play the main roles, with a fifth character, complete with a new skillset different than the others, joining the fray as well. The storyline is somewhat perfect for the horror-genre that this game comfortably rests within, in that the ending of the last game, where the characters start to finally feel safe, is just the beginning of an all-new nightmare. Continue after the jump for the full-on text detailing everything we know so far!

Voice Actor Chosen for Agent 47
Posted on August 28, 2012 by Jesse Lord
In a move that might surprise those who have been following the title closely, Square Enix have announced that David Bateson is going to reprise his role as Agent 47 in the upcoming Hitman: Absolution. Originally the publisher had declared that he would not be voicing the character, but things have changed, as they tend to do in this industry. Full press release follows after the jump.

Dead Island: Riptide, Sacred 3 To Debut At PAX Prime
Posted on August 24, 2012 by Jesse Lord
Just got some great news from a super-fantastic PR friend of mine from Deep Silver. Word on the street is, both Dead Island: Riptide and Sacred 3 will be shown at PAX Prime! That’s right, if you’ve got the ability to head to PAX Prime this year, you’ll have the ability to see the public debut of two of Deep Silver’s knock-out franchises. Along with that tid-bit of information, my PR contact was nice enough to send out a blurb about each game, which I’ve included below, after the jump.

New Dishonored Video | The Study of Stealth
Posted on August 23, 2012 by Jesse Lord
Our fantastic friends at Bethesda just sent over a new video for the upcoming supernatural-assassin game Dishonored, and it focuses on stealth as a gameplay tactic. In prior videos we have seen both a stealthy and a “guns-blazing” walkthrough of a scenario in the game, and the more I’m looking at the stealth aspects I think my first play-through will be done as stealthily as possible with as few kills as possible as well. This is a distinct departure from my norm, that’s for sure. But enough about me; check out the video after the jump!Read More

New GTA V Screens | Leisure
Posted on August 22, 2012 by Jesse Lord
Oh Rockstar, how we love you and your flagship Grand Theft Auto series. You tease us so, giving us little nibbles of information, and we lap it up, hoping and praying to appease you into giving us just a little bit more. Just a little bit more. Well, the theory seems to have worked a bit, since Rockstar have released three more screens at the Grand Theft Auto V website and also on the Rockstar Newswire in a post titled “Leisure.” So feast your eyes on the awesome:Read More
