Comic Con ’11: Saints Row: The Third Demo

July 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

THQ and developer Volition had a pretty solid presence on the Comic Con show floor by showing off a demo of Saints Row: The Third. Tucked inside a makeshift private theater “guarded” by pimps and Penthouse Pets, a very excited presenter showed off some of the new features the Saints will be bringing to the [...]

Comic Con ’11: Gears of War 3 Horde 2.0 Hands-On

July 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

The upcoming Gears of War 3 continues the Horde mode that Gears 2 started, and a playable demo was available on the Comic Con show floor. Obviously, the mode worked well enough in Gears 2 that Epic Games didn’t need any massive retooling for the third installment. A few rounds were available to play, so [...]

Comic Con ’11: Mass Effect 3 Hands-On

July 28th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

The title of Most Surprising Demo at Comic Con likely has to go to Mass Effect 3. A video would have been expected. But a hands-on demo? It’s a sign of how important games are becoming at Comic Con. This was the same demo shown at E3, but Comic Con provided its public hands-on debut. [...]

Comic Con ’11: Kinect: Star Wars Hands-On

July 26th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Obviously, Star Wars will almost immediately come to mind when thinking about suitable game types for motion-gaming. The Wii held some solid potential, considering you use a lightsaber-esque controller, but it was Microsoft’s Kinect that got people even more excited about a Star Wars game. The ability to “wield” a lightsaber and use the Force? [...]

Comic Con ’11: Spider-Man: Edge of Time Hands-On

July 26th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Activision’s upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time feels like it’s going to be a lot more of what we saw in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. While not a true sequel, it’s pulling ideas from the game by focusing on The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. Use Facebook to Comment on this Post

E3 2011: Forza Motorsport 4 Preview (Xbox 360)

June 9th, 2011 by Filippo Dinolfo

Forza Motorsport 4 is easily one of my most anticipated games for this year. I am a huge fan of what Turn 10 has done with the series thus far, and it seems like for the fourth installment they’re looking to make the best possible racing game in the genre. It’s a lofty goal, but [...]

Preview: Duke Nukem Forever (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)

June 6th, 2011 by Ash Boehnlein

One liner: The game is well worth the wait! The sequel the world has been waiting 14 years for is finally approaching its release. Since 1997, Duke has been partaking in a little vacation and his trigger finger has itched long enough. Maintaining the first person shooter style of gameplay originally introduced to the series [...]

Impressions: Bulletstorm (Xbox 360, PS3)

January 28th, 2011 by Andrew Giese

This February, co-developer People Can Fly (Painkiller) is leveraging Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 for Bulletstorm, a FPS that makes other FPSes wet their pants and cry themselves to sleep. At least that’s the attitude this game brings to the table. In reality, during our very short time with the Bulletstorm demo, we got the impression [...]
