Deus Ex 3: First Details Surface

I am a huge fan of the Deus Ex series and even really enjoyed the second game, which wasn't regarded too highly among the press and fans alike. I remember when Deus Ex 3 was first announced I felt ecstatic that the series was still alive, but worried since Warren Spector wasn't a part of the project. Finally some real details on the game have arrived and things are shaping up to satisfy...well, at least satisfy me.

What do you need to know? Well the game is going to be a prequel set in the year 2027 and you play as a normal (like you or me) security officer for a technology lab. The rest of the story hasn't been detailed too much, but it's being written by the original writer (from Deus Ex) so I think the game is in good hands.

There is much more information that can be found from the link below. Some of the new gameplay aspects may upset some of the diehard fans, but I feel like it's only natural for a series to change with the times. I know I can't wait for more details to arise and hopefully this game will deliver when it eventually comes out (no current release window mentioned).

Linkage of Details.

Shellshock 2: Blood Trails = Survival Horror?

As mentioned on the previous episode Distributed Failure there was a new trailer for Shellshock 2 that really left me with asking a few questions. Is this a survival-horror game taking place during the Vietnam War? Are you just fighting the Vietnamese, or are there "other things" as well? I really don't know what to take out of this trailer, but I can say a few things from what I've seen. I think the idea could possibly be amazing if pulled off, but the first game was an absolute mess. I guess we'll just have to wait for more news to emerge, but I will stay optimistic because I would love to see a great Vietnam War game.

LittleBigSausage. Wait...What!?

Well I have gotten a taste of LittleBigPlanet and so far it has tasted very sweet...below is a short video of my first hour with the game and first few minutes (condensed into seconds) with the creator. Enjoy my sausage.

New Max Payne Trailer

A new trailer for Max Payne has popped up and it looks very truthful to the video game vibe and style. I don't have much more to say on this film except that I'm looking forward to it and this trailer just pumps me up more. Watch this lovely loveliness below.

Burnout Paradise: Bikes Pack DLC Review

Bikes are fun to drive, but not much fun to crash...

• Game: Burnout Paradise (Buy it)
• DLC Pack: Bikes Pack
• Developer: Criterion Games
• Price: Free (yes, free!)
• Release Date: 9/18/2009

It's nighttime and we've got motorcycles prowling down the street. Sounds so very cool (doesn't it), but I find myself rather disappointed with the new Bikes DLC for Burnout Paradise. I feel that "disappointed" may be too strong of a word since the pack is 100% free, but at the same time I don't find the game any more enjoyable with the added content.
