Resident Evil 6 - IGN Review [and Game Trailer]

IGN editor Richard George posted a nice review of Resident Evil 6 that I though I should share with you. Check out the video review here, or read more information about the content of the review below.

Mission Improbable 3. That escalated quickly!

You may be wondering what's with the title. Well, I visit 9GAG now and again. And also, the creators of this mod (yes, Mission Improbable 3 is a game mod) posted the following description on Mod DB:

Mission Improbable is a singleplayer mod for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. In it, Gordon Freeman is tasked with re-activating a Resistance listening post. From there, things quickly escalate.

Now that we've taken care of the mystery of the title and found out a bit about the mod itself, let's see more information.

New poll - August 2012

Today we're finally having our second poll released upon the world. It concerns a few upcoming game titles (2012 and maybe 2013), its title being "I can't wait for...".

Terraria - Minecraft in two dimensions?

I've known about Terraria for many months now. I first saw it in some gameplay videos from TobyGames. And I have to admit - I wasn't impressed at all. It seemed like a cheap 2D clone of Minecraft and I couldn't understand why it was so popular.

3 Awesome Browser-based MMORPGs

Really good browser-based games are truly problematic. Not for whatever weird reasons you may think of, nor because they may squeeze more money out of you than a Triple A retail title (popular game bought from the store/Steam/other online platform and played on your PC/Mac/console), but because they can become addictive in a relatively short amount of time.

Watching Gameplay Videos

I was thinking about how more and more people like to watch gameplay videos on sites like YouTube. And it came to my mind that there are a few types of videos (along with the different reasons to watch them). So here it goes:

Multiplayer mode in The Last of Us

A few days ago The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog announced that their game will feature a multiplayer mode. There aren't many details on this, but let's analyze things a bit and see what we can come up with.

Need for Speed™ Most Wanted (2012 Video Game)

One game to be expected this fall (October 30 to be exact) is the new Need for Speed™ Most Wanted. It's important to keep in mind that the title rather suggests a sequel of the 2005 video game, rather than a remake.

TobyGames - I Can Swing My Sword

If you haven't heard of Toby Turner (a.k.a. Tobuscus), you're not a real gamer. Or, at least, you're not a real gamer who watches YouTube stuff. Toby constantly posts various gameplay videos on his YouTube channel TobyGames - and they're pretty damn funny.

E3 2012 - Sony's Press Conference

Sony had a great conference today. I saw some really interesting things related to their products, but also to the games targeted at their platforms (PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita). They showed some really nice gameplay of The Last of Us (you already know how I feel about this awesome game), but that's not what impressed me the most.

Trailer: Grand Theft Auto V

One of the games I'm really waiting for in 2012 is Grand Theft Auto V. I've played all the previously released PC games of the series and I found them very exciting. But, in a way, I find many open-world games to be exciting. GTA V will be one of the biggest releases of the year. So here's the trailer:

Trailer: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

I've been a big fan of Counter-Strike 1.6 many years ago and even when CS: Source was released I still preferred playing the older one. But with Global Offensive... I might just give it a chance. Not because it's more similar to CS 1.6, but because it's totally different. That's right, it's a whole different game, while maintaining the same gameplay style.

Here's the trailer:

Sick days

Dear readers,

I know I just started this blog and it's not nice to interrupt posting on it so soon, but I have to call sick for a few days now. I will return with more posts, just as awesome as the previous ones, as soon as possible.

Until then I will really appreciate your patience and, just not to make you feel extremely lonely, I'll schedule some post for the next days with some game trailers. They're not much, but I hope they'll be better than nothing for you.

Thank you for your understanding!

The Last of Us - A Blast of Coolness

Later this year, or in the worst case early 2013, an amazing game will be released by Naughty Dog: The Last of Us.

A "genre-defining experience", as defined by the co-president of the aforementioned game developer, The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival third person game set in a post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas.

Notch's space MMO game 0x10c

We might be closer to the Matrix universe than we thought - and Minecraft developer, Notch, is confirming it through the new game he is developing.

0x10^cis a space MMO set in the year 281.474.976.712.644 AD. Each player has its very own 16-bit computer that is emulated to the lowest possible level. What this means is that you basically have not one, but thousands of computers inside your computer.
