Loot pursuit

If you’re one of the six people still actively engaged in Shepard’s war against the Reapers, you might be excited to learn that BioWare’s preparing another Bounty Weekend for Mass Effect 3. This time the developer wants you to aim for successful extractions on any difficulty with at least one Earth pack character in your squad...

Through the looking glass

Here’s a bit of advice for you, EA: unless you’re actually going to make Mirror’s Edge 2, then please stop talking about it. Publishing executive Frank Gibeau is the latest suit to toy with our emotions, casually claiming that a sequel to DICE’s exceptional free-running adventure is “on the list”. Y’know, just...

Geth a load of that

It turns out that the hackers who extracted hidden information about a character called Leviathan from the Extended Cut of Mass Effect 3 were right on the money. Chatting with Eurogamer.net, voice actor Anthony Skordi has confirmed that the Reaper is set to be introduced in an upcoming DLC pack. According to Skor

Boom, boom, boom

Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine what the multiplayer for Medal of Honor: Warfighter might look like. Done? Good, then you don’t need to watch the trailer below. We’re probably being a little bit harsh, but we’ve run out of things to say about first-person shooters these days. There’s no doubt the latest Medal...

Headshot heaven

Remember those plans you made for this week? Cancel them. Publisher EA Games has announced another double XP event for Battlefield 3 – and this one’s set to run for an entire week. If you’re a Battlefield 3 Premium member, you’ll be able to earn extra bonuses for your in-game activities between now and 23:59PM PDT on 8th...

Splash damage

More than 800,000 players signed up to Battlefield 3’s Premium subscription tier within two weeks of the package being available, EA has announced. Chatting with USA Today, EA Games chief Patrick Soderlund explained that the service had already exceeded the publisher’s expectations. “We are very pleased with the performance so...

Between the lines

It was only yesterday that Mass Effect 3 producer Mike Gamble teased the impending arrival of additional single-player DLC for the popular space opera. But rather than patiently wait for the developer to officially share additional information, hackers have taken it upon themselves to crack open the recently released Extended Cut...

Play beyond

If you felt that Mass Effect 3’s recently released Extended Cut DLC wrapped things up nicely, then you might be keen to know what’s next the for the mammoth space adventure. Thankfully, producer Mike Gamble has taken to Twitter to confirm that there’s plenty more content on the horizon. Chatting on the micro-blogging website,...

In control

UK developer Criterion knows how to make a quality racing game, so it’s fitting that the studio has been handed the keys to the Need for Speed franchise. Following last year’s disappointing Need for Speed: The Run, the team has revealed that its “stamp’s going to be in everything you see in Need for Speed and Burnout going forward...

Deleted scenes

Those of you offended by Mass Effect 3’s original conclusion will finally get closure next week, when the hotly anticipated Extended Cut DLC pack lands on the US PlayStation Store on 26th June. European players will have an additional week to prepare for the true ending, as the content will not arrive overseas until 4th July. The...

Fast and furious

DreamWorks has snapped up the film rights to the Need for Speed franchise, and expects the racing series to make its theatrical debut in 2014. Siblings John and George Gatins have been drafted in to pen an original story, which is said to be loosely based upon the games but not a specific entry. EA will produce the movie alongside...

Gears of war

We’d hoped this 20 minute gameplay demonstration of Dead Space 3 would reveal some of the slower pacing that was absent at E3. Sadly it doesn’t. While there’s clearly some great shooting and set-pieces on display here, the tense atmosphere of the original Dead Space appears to have got lost like the mind of protagonist Isaac...

Level up

Fans of guns, tanks and explosions are in for a treat, as DICE has announced a double XP weekend for Battlefield 3. Those of you engaging in digital warfare anytime between now and 23:59PM PDT on Sunday will net additional points for your efforts. If you've got social plans, you can always tell your friends that you’re washing your hair...

Errr

For many fans, Dead Space 3 already looks desperately disappointing. The tense, claustrophobic horror of its predecessors has been replaced by formulaic cover-based shooting. That’s because the game needs to hit a “larger audience” according to publisher EA. Chatting with CVG, publishing executive Frank Gibeau explained that a game like...

In the oven

One of the games conspicuously absent from this year’s E3 was Insomniac Games’ upcoming Overstrike. The four-player co-op shooter was announced at last year’s event under the EA Partners program, but has been hiding in the shadows ever since. Speaking with CVG, EA Labels gaffer Frank Gibeau explained that the delay was due to...

Performance review

If the real world of business was as ruthless as the fictional one in Syndicate, then EA’s Frank Gibeau wouldn’t have time to lament the poor performance of Starbreeze’s series reboot. Thankfully, it’s not, and the executive can openly acknowledge the fact that the first-person shooter didn’t quite live up to...

Advanced assault

EA just can’t seem to keep a secret this year. If it wasn’t enough that Battlefield 3 Premium was already leaked, the publisher’s now gone and uploaded the DLC’s trailer prematurely. Similarly to Call of Duty: Elite, Battlefield 3’s premium tier will grant you early access to all of the game’s DLC packs. In addition,...

Find a friend

That errant issue of Game Informer magazine is causing a whole heap of misery, it seems. Not content with leaking Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation for PlayStation Vita, the publication’s also outed a handful of details pertaining to Dead Space 3. Then again, we suppose it’s par for the course for Visceral Games’ oft-leaked...

Pocket fighter

Make sure you’ve got a pinch of salt handy, as French retailer CDiscount has listed a product page for Medal of Honor: Warfighter on PlayStation Vita. Interestingly, the online store is also taking pre-orders for a Need for S
