Did you know that Wugga doesn’t like Coffee? Not only that but he doesn’t like the flavour of coffee in things like cakes. Crazy huh.

Insomniac Announces Resistance 3 and New Ratchet & Clank

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

resistance3

Two games announced in one day, by the same developer no less. Insomniac sure is a beast now. Resistance 3 by the main studio, and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One (featuring 4-player co-op) by the new studio in North Carolina.

But where’s that multiplatform EA title I wonder? Aren’t these both Sony properties?
Live-action Resistance 3 teaser after the break.

BioShock Infinite Announced

Friday, August 13th, 2010

While 2K Marin was left to take care of BioShock 2, Irrational Games was sneakily working on the third BioShock game. And guess what, it takes place in the sky! First exploding RC cars, and now flying cities — videogames are crazy!

So BioShock Infinite. The story takes place in 1912, a good 30 years before Rapture was built. Your character actually talks and has a personality, and you also get an AI companion. So it might not have the same creepy atmosphere as the first two titles, but change is good, and that’s what the industry should be about. It’s scheduled to drop sometime in 2012, so hopefully Levine and Co. can finish it before the world is destroyed by meteors or something.

These epic CGI trailers are a bit too common these days, but there’s one after the break if you care to look.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition

Friday, August 13th, 2010

And you thought they couldn’t possibly trump the night vision goggles. The prestige edition for Treyarch’s new game contains… a remote controlled car!

And it’s no ordinary RC car either, it’s a fully equipped “surveillance vehicle” with a microphone and video camera that transmits back to the controller. The car also features as a killstreak reward in Black Ops’ multiplayer.

Sure it’s about as useless as the night vision goggles — I mean how discrete really is an RC car? But if you want to plunk down your money on one, the opportunity’s there…

No longer Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, the new game by Rocksteady Studios is now called Batman: Arkham City. It doesn’t seem to have the same ring to it, but with more Batman on offer, what is there to hate?

Arkham City is actually a fortified city within Gotham City. It also looks like Catwoman will be making an apperance. Still have a while to wait however, Batman won’t be beating up thugs and villains until late 2011.
