Bethesda Softworks has announced the details of Doom 3 BFG Edition’s release date. This re-mastered version of Doom 3 (which includes the Resurrection of Evil expansion, 7 new levels, as well as Doom and Doom 2) is, if all goes according to the Spider Mastermind’s plan, coming to North America on October 16. Europe will have to wait an extra three days.
Most of the press release focuses on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 version. For example, there will be achievements, trophies, a check point save system, and “fine-tuned” controls that will “bring the intensity of the DOOM single and multiplayer experience to the consoles.” However, PC gamers will pay only $29.99 for the BFG edition, ten dollars less than the console versions. Also, PC gamers who fondly remember the duct tape mod will be happy to know that the BFG edition has added an “armor-mounted flashlight,” giving players the ability to see things and shoot them simultaneously.

I hope none of you are burnt out on Skyrim just yet, as Bethesda has released the first official for the game’s first expansion, Dawnguard. No details have been announced regarding the expansion just yet but from the quick glimpses in the embedded trailer we know that Dawnguard involves a sect of vampires who are looking to capture the mythical elderscrolls for their own devilish use. Other neat aspects of the trailer show off the already announced mounted combat and the previously leaked crossbows!
Check out the trailer after the jump. Dawnguard will be available on Xbox Live later this summer for $15 USD and on other platforms at an unspecified date.

Bethesda has given us almost two minutes of its Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim today, packed with vampirism, sun-blotting, and a menacing voice-over.

Perhaps, it was inevitable…. Bethesda has just announced The Elder Scrolls Online. There wasn’t much information about the game in their press releases (the June issue of Game Informer will reveal more). So far all we know is that ZeniMax Online Studios is developing it for PC and Mac. Also, the game director has some ambitious plans for the game.
“We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends, something fans have long said they wanted,” said Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online. “It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years. The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise.”
Seems like Mr. Firor plans to shoot for the moon. Will he wind up like Icarus, plunging from the heavens as a result of his hubris? Or, will he be responsible for the best MMO ever made? What are your thoughts?

One of 2011’s finest games, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will receive its first dose of downloadable content with the release of Dawnguard this summer Bethesda has announced. In a similar fashion to Activision’s Call of Duty DLC the Xbox 360 version of Dawnguard will be a timed exclusive. This means that PC and PS3 players will have to presumably wait a few months before getting their hands on it.
We know little about Dawnguard‘s content at this time. Bethesda’s blog post regarding the expansion contains just a simple teaser image and the promise that more details will be revealed at this year’s E3.Read More

Okay, not really but that is what a lot of people are going to think when they watch the announcement trailer for Arkane Studio’s Dishonored, a first person sci-fi action game.
What we know about the story is that your main protagonist, Quartho, an assassin framed for the murder of some Empress. And has he ever got a desire for a whole truck load of vengeance. The setting appears to be of the dystopian calibur showing imagery one would expect to see in a Half Life game, or in War of the Worlds. Showing a soldier on mechanical stilts shooting a flaming arrow into then street.
