Fancy distress

Like most people, we spend the majority of our evenings prancing around in N7 gear, pretending to save the galaxy from imminent Reaper attacks – but we never suspected that Dead Space protagonist Isaac Clarke was a part of our fantasy circle. However, the below trailer provides irrefutable proof that, even when faced with an...

Should've had a bigger breakfast

The worst part about fighting wars for a living is that there’s rarely time for a mid-morning snack. Take the masked protagonists of upcoming PlayStation 3 shooter Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel – they're too busy dodging bullets and half-volleyed frag grenades to scoff a custard cream or three. No wonder they...

Sorry, no Plasma Cutter

If you’ve played either of the original Dead Space titles, then you'll know exactly what happens when you come into contact with the Marker. As such, we recommend steering clear of the recently announced Dead Space 3 ‘Dev Team Edition’ as it includes an 8-inch replica of the strange, pointed artefact. The package...

Open your cheque book

Ever since creditors complained about THQ's quick sale to equity firm Clearlake Capital, things have gone from bad to worse for the embattled publisher. What initially seemed like a crafty way of protecting the company as on ongoing concern has quickly transformed into a bidding war for the firm’s most valuable assets – and...

Death by dismemberment

A playable demo for Visceral Games’ upcoming space horror sequel Dead Space 3 will crawl onto the PlayStation Network from 22nd January, publisher EA Games has announced. The short sampler will allow you to get a taste for the title’s controversial co-op mode, thrusting you “into deep space terror unwilling hero –...

Keep your beak out

We know people are eager to throw Insomniac Games’ upcoming Fuse under a bus, but we reckon that this brand new trailer is solid. It’s got guns, it’s got laughs, and it’s even got some daft facial expressions. We suppose the only thing that it hasn’t got it is that awesome original art direction everyone seemed to love...

Hard to beat

If the reality of finding an exotic car in your Christmas stocking is looking less likely, at least you can console yourself with a cut-price copy of Need for Speed: Most Wanted instead. Sony’s slashed the price of the critically acclaimed PlayStation 3 racer to just £23.99/€29.99 on the European PlayStation Store this weekend,...

Calm down

We’re vehemently against the addition of co-operative action to Dead Space 3, but even we can’t deny the appeal of this brand new trailer. The video introduces the title’s ‘Two Ways to Play’ tagline, which is designed to highlight the differences between single-player and multiplayer gameplay. While you’ll be able to...

Run for cover

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is the latest title to get its price slashed as part of Sony’s excellent European Christmas countdown. Between now and 23:59PM GMT on 12th December, you’ll be able to pick up the first-person shooter for just £29.99/€39.99. That represents a 50 per cent saving over its standard price of...

Cloaked approach

Crytek founder Cevat Yerli has augmented the company’s upcoming first-person shooter Crysis 3 with a 19th February release date in North America. The sci-fi adventure will fire into European stores a few days later on 22nd February. Last month, publisher EA Games revealed that pre-ordering the title at participating retailers...

Pedal to the metal

Petrol heads will be able to accelerate their Need for Speed: Most Wanted experience later this month, when the title’s Ultimate Speed expansion pack drifts onto the PlayStation Store from 18th December. A press release from EA’s UK branch confirmed the add-on, which includes a selection of exotic new vehicles to drive and 25...

Pew pew

Sony’s unwrapped another offer as part of its festive European PlayStation Network advent calendar. From now until 23:59PM on 4th December, you’ll be able to snuggle up with a digital copy of Battlefield 3 for just £29.99/€39.99. That represents a huge saving over the listed price of £59.99/€69.99, but it’s still cheaper to...

Redeployed

Ever since its launch in 2011, Battlefield 3 has struggled with input lag and audio issues on the PlayStation 3. Those bugs will finally be fixed this week, over a year after the title was originally released. A new patch – due out on 27th November – will “significantly improve” the controller response problems, as well as solve...

Running rings

The hotly anticipated sequel to Mirror’s Edge is apparently in production at Swedish developer DICE. Ben Cousins, the general manager of ngmoco Sweden, revealed the tidbit in a Tweet posted earlier this afternoon. The executive stated: "It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE."...

Keeping up appearances

Those of you eager to lend your services to Overstrike 9 will be rewarded with a handful of in-game extras. Pre-orders for Insomniac Games' upcoming Fuse will be recognised with four Hyperion Prototype Agent armour skins, four Hyperion Prototype weapon skins, and a Quickdraw team perk which enhances your squad’s one-handed...

Will haunt your hardware soon

EA’s new Gothenburg studio has been renamed Ghost, according to a snazzy makeover on its website. The team is thought to be working on a next-generation entry in the Need for Speed series, with legendary producer Alan Baker at the helm. Former DICE executive Marcus Nilsson is currently in charge of the new developer...

Exploring the galaxy

The in-development Mass Effect 4 will take advantage of DICE’s fantastic Frostbite 2 engine, publisher EA Games has announced. The sequel is the latest in a long line of internal projects to adopt the proprietary technology. It will also be harnessed by the upcoming Dragon Age III: Inquisition. In addition to the engine...

Whoops

We imagine a group of high-profile SEALs are currently staring at Medal of Honor: Warfighter’s Metacritic score and wondering if it was all worth it. According to a report on CBS, seven soldiers have been reprimanded for consulting on the modern military shooter. They’ve each had half of their salaries docked for a total of two months,...

Make sure you Geth it

In an epic blog post worthy of the Pulitzer Prize, developer BioWare has confirmed that the Mass Effect Trilogy will take flight on 4th December in North America and 7th December in Europe. That means that the first title in the series – which originally launched as a Microsoft published Xbox 360 exclusive way back in 2007...
