Spike's Video Game Awards show is lining up the announcements, including new details about Metal Gear Solid Rising, BioWare's next game and Alan Wake. Well, here's another one. Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games will announce a new game the company is working on at the award show as well.
Wasn't it supposed to be better?
Some new specs have been released about the Wii U console Nintendo announced this past E3. Since the convention, details have been sparse and little has been revealed. However, an unnamed Japanese developer who is allegedly porting a PlayStation 3 game to the console has leaked out these details about the console's internal power. Nintendo has not officially announced anything yet so this is only speculative at the moment.
New enigmatic game to be officially outed at Spike's VGAs.
The Spike TV Video Game Awards is starting to become a hotbed for major reveals. With information on Alan Wake 2, BioWare’s next project and more to be revealed, there is many a video game enthusiast's DV-R scheduled to record the event. But even a week before the show airs we’re starting to get some teasers of what’s going to show, including a PlayStation 3 exclusive called The Last of Us.
While fun with friends, this addition to the Scene It? franchise lacks the substance to make a lasting impression.
Scene It? has been around for a while now and there have been more than a few video game adaptations of the popular DVD/film based trivia game. Now the game based on the premise of useless cinematic know-how has wound up on the PSN and XBLA as a downloadable game. The move to a digital format makes perfect sense for this type of game, but this stripped down version fails to capture the more fleshed out experience we've come to expect from the franchise.
Bad news for those looking to share.
There's been a wave of not so good news concerning the Vita these past few weeks. With the announcement of expensive memory sticks and a UMD Passport launch lineup that is somewhat lacking the Vita is in a position where it could use some good news. Now isn't that time though, as we have no found that the Vita will severly limit your PSN account flexibility.
Sorry Star Trek fans, Sonic Generations does not feature Kirk or Picard.
Sonic Generations starts great. When I started playing the game, three acts in, I was on the phone with Nick. “Hey, this game might be better than the console version,” I said. “I'm not surprised,” his response. All the while, I thought to myself, these stages really capture the feel of the original Genesis Sonic games.
Falling somewhere between Mega Man and Metroid, this indie 2D adventure must be something to behold, right?
I'm ashamed to admit it, but until now, I've never played Cave Story. Not for free on the PC, nor for the low price of admission on the Wii or the DSi. It's always interested me, but I just never got around to playing it. Cave Story 3D has changed that for me, but in retrospect, I don't feel as if I was missing all that much. Unquestionably, Cave Story is a solid game and that's made all the more impressive by the fact that a single man, Daisuke Amaya, created the game himself. While impressive, this doesn't make up for the fact that the game is a bit rough around the edges.
We have a copy of Snowblind Studios' latest to give away to one dedicated reader.
It's not everyday that PixlBit has the opportunity to run a contest, but we were lucky enough to receive a copy of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North on the PlayStation 3 to give away. If you haven't been keeping up, Jesse Miller reviewed the game favorably, awarding it three and a half stars earlier last month. In order to win this solid and likely overlooked game, you don't have to do too much.
Watching dudes beating the crap out of each other on the 360 will have to wait a bit longer.
