Splash Damage Teases Dirty Bomb - Terrorist Ridden London Multiplayer Shooter?

Makers of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Quake Wars and the not so successful BRINK has unveiled their new project with this trailer. Dirty Bomb, looks like a multiplayer shooter with brief seconds that actually look a lot like BRINK... art style wise... or I might be interpreting it wrongly. What we know is that it takes place in London and I'm pretty sure some sort of terrorist plot has taken place... hence the title, Dirty Bomb. I'll post more info as it comes up. Watch the trailer below...

Hitman: Absolution Launch Trailer - 47 At His Best?

Agent 47 will be back 19th November... that's in two days. The Hitman games have always been unique and quite brilliant simply because of the many different methods you could assassinate your targets. While this trailer shows more action elements, you will be able to be an efficient assassin, going in quiet and doing in your target. Check out the launch trailer below...

FTL: Faster Than Light Review - Boldly Going Where No One Has Gone Before Thingie

After my best run in the game, my ship was left with two crew members. A human named Steven, and a bug(Mantis, a race of... bugs) named Charlie. They stood in the med bay not being able to get out. Stuck in a ship, far in the deep reaches of space. The oxygen generator was busted and the ships O2 levels dropped to 0%. Moving out of the med bay would mean certain death. So there they stood in space... FTL is rather unforgiving that way. The recently released on Steam indie title is what they call a space ship management game. It's not a genre that's common... at all.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Free To Play Trailer - Cartel Coins

Since EA announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic was going to be free to play, it was pretty much concluded that a subscription based MMORPG is becoming a dead business model except if you're Blizzard. EA has released this new trailer explaining the use of cartel coins, their in game to real money currency. Star War: The Old Republic is going free to play November 15th(that's November 16th for us). I'll be checking it out. Watch the trailer below...

StarCraft II Global Play Detailed - Play In Any Regional Server

I wrote about news of cross-region play for StarCraft II back in May. Blizzard got back to StarCraft II players with this post detailing how global play will be handed "Each region will have separate profile data, meaning that characters, profiles, ladder rankings, progress, and friends lists will not carry over from region to region. With Global Play, you’ll have other regions to choose from as you create new characters, take on different ladder opponents, and perhaps try maps that you’ve never seen before." What this means is that you'll need to create a new character for each region you want to play in. You can't import your present character to the other regions. Patch release date? In the coming months...

Bioware Confirms Mass Effect 4 In Early Development

Is anyone shocked by this news? Bioware stated prior to release of Mass Effect 3 that it will be the end of the Shepard story. Mass Effect 4(this is probably working title) will probably be a brand new story set in the Mass Effect world. Or will it? Mass Effect Lead Designer, Casey Hudson asked on Twitter "We’re in early stages of designing a completely new Mass Effect game. What would you want to see in it?". No info, but a completely brand new Mass Effect game s hint enough that this will not be about Shepard. Bioware also spoke a little about the upcoming single player DLC for Mass Effect 3, Omega, which they say is the biggest DLC in the series taking you back to the space city Omega, a den of scum and villainy. The Omega DLC is releasing end of this month.

The Elder Scrolls Online Developer Diary Introduction - Debuts Gameplay Footage

Bethesda + Zenimax Online's The Elder Scrolls Online has finally got some form of video content in the form of this introductory video diary. Silt Strider spotted! It's cool that we'll be able to explore all of Tamriel, and the graphics does looks rather spiffy, but there's been much trepidation from the Elder Scrolls crowd. Will it translate into an MMORPG or will this just be another WoW clone in Elder Scrolls clothing? They say combat will be tied to your mouse buttons much like in Skyrim, and you can play from any of 9 races with a tonne of customisation. One mega server where everyone plays on, and set 1000 years before Skyrim. Yay or nay? To hard to tell. Watch the video below...

Diablo III Expansion In Development & StarCraft 2: HoTS Release Window

In an Activision earnings call, Blizzard President Mike Morhaime confirmed that Diablo III will be getting an expansion(shocks) and that development on this is underway. He also stated that StarCraft 2: Heart of The Swarm will be slithering its way to the PC in the first half of 2013(that's a huge window). Bobby Kotick from Activision boasted that Diablo III has shipped 10 million copies worldwide. Blizzard really love to take their tie with their games but with that sort of revenues, they frankly don't need to think much about release dates. I'll stick to playing Torchlight II.

Metro: Last Light & Company of Heroes 2 Pushed Backed to March 2013

THQ today announced that Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes has been pushed back to March 2013. THQ president Jason Rubin said "Our fourth quarter releases are the first titles that I have had the ability to materially impact, and experience told me that games needed addition development time to be market-ready,". More of a 'releasing the game when it is ready' philosophy, which is good. THQ has been under severe financial pressure lately and it is evident they have a strong Q1 2013, if only the game get shipped by that time, it might save THQ.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Free Weekend - Get Schooled By Pros

For those one the fence or still hanging on to Counter Strike 1.6, Valve is giving you the chance to play Counter Strike: Global Offensive free, just for this weekend. It has got plenty of local servers to play on and new updated graphics and game modes. Some game modes I find absolutely useless like classic casual... avoid like a plague unless you like being shot at right after spawn. You can download it here. The game is also discounted just this weekend, 50% off at USD9.99. Practise mode is pretty useless, the bots are dumb at the moment. So this free weekend is pretty useful. Check it out.
