Trailers: Meet part of Mass Effect 3′s cast

The returning veterans sound better than ever and the new additions seem to be quite excited to be a part of the game. I have confidence that the voice acting will–wait, the eye candy’s not Miranda? One Miranda wasn’t enough? How will we ever differentiate between Ashley (young and busty white brunette 1), Miranda (young and busty white brunette 2), and “Diana Allers” (young and busty white brunette 3)?

Trailers: What’s this ME3 multiplayer hoopla all about?

Now we know. And you know what? I actually think it looks pretty cool. The combat has always been fun in Mass Effect games and this will give me a chance to try out all the classes without having to replay the entire game half a dozen times. Not to mention the hilarity that will ensue when you get a mix of Krogans and Salarians on your team. If any game excuses ignorant online racial tensions, it will surely be Mass Effect 3. It’s just role-playing, right?

Trailers: Kingdoms of Amalur’s art design sets itself apart…

By looking exactly like Fable‘s. Come on, guys. This stylized, colorful, cartoony trend is starting to get just as old as hyper-realism. Maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, but I’d love to hear an argument on what makes Reckoning‘a art direction completely unique from everything else. Why hasn’t somebody made a game world in the vein of Picasso’s work or something like that? Lord, give indie games the power to save us all!

Trailers: Freddie Prinze Jr. lends his vocal talents to Mass Effect 3

Some people might not like the guy, but he sounds like he legitimately enjoys and has played the Mass Effect games. And just imagine how awesome Vega’s I Know What You Did Last Summer-inspired loyalty mission will be! No? Scooby Doo? Well…he’s married to Sarah Michelle Gellar; maybe their bodies of work will somehow cross and the Reapers will turn out to be vampires and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will come to save the day. Boy, that sure would give me the wiggins!

Reactions: The Old Republic getting various updates, including guild banks

Sounds like BioWare is focused on an ever-improving experience. I’m sure the game’s many, many fans will appreciate it.

Reactions: Mass Effect 3 demo accepting orders February 14th

For those who are in the mood for a more domineering kind of relationship on Valentine’s Day. Well, at least if you download the Xbox 360 version and have Kinect. As you can see in the video above, most of the commands seem awkward, inefficient, and sort of silly. However, I will admit that the fluidity with which multiple orders can be issued in real time, in the heat of combat is impressive. I imagine that on the hardest difficulty setting, that sort of seamless tactical control could make for some really satisfying encounters.

Reactions: 4 player co-op Syndicate demo on the way

Think of it as an internship for the friendly corporation you’ll be working for come February 21st. I don’t think they’ll blast that exciting music that the kids seem to like so much over all of your simplistic and shallow “mergers and acquisitions,” so maybe you’ll be able to get an objective feel for the game. Then again, the marketing department might realize that straight FPSs aren’t the most engaging games these days, so don’t be alarmed if some dubstep makes a surprise appearance. We’ll know the corporate culture for sure sometime toward “the end of January,” but only for “a limited time.”

Reactions: Release dates, delays, and rumors! Oh my!

This has something to do with video games, I swear!

Here’s how it is: game developers and publishers make games, and most of the time they like to release them too. That’s what this post is about if you couldn’t tell from the header image.

Reactions: Microsoft’s “House Party 2012″ headlined by I Am Alive, Alan Wake

Before we move on to how out of touch Microsoft’s marketing people are (oh, there’s a trailer below that will blow your mind), let us first discuss the game featured in the above video–I Am Alive. The title’s development struggles have been well documented and there’s certainly reason for concern when we stop to consider that it shifted developers mid-development and transformed from a full-fledged retail game to a downloadable title. And that gameplay does look a little rough around the edges in the graphical department. But I can honestly say that Ubisoft Shanghai’s take on the post-apocalypse is one of my most anticipated games of the year. It’s just fundamentally different from nearly every other game on the market today, and in this humble writer’s hopes, has the potential to revolutionize video games’ take on the post-apocalypse in a very positive way. So dude: seriously, just buy it.

Trailers: Shanking never looked so fun!

Well, actually I imagine the process is rather unpleasant for all parties involved, but this gameplay footage of Shank 2 does its darnedest to convince me otherwise. Look for this sequel to 2010′s cooperative brawler to hit XBLA, PSN, and PC at some point in “early 2012.”
