Watch This: Live-Action Mass Effect Trailer

Posted Feb 28, 2012 at 1:24PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: EA, mass effect 3

EA’s marketing blitz rolls on with the latest ad for Mass Effect 3.

Another day, another trailer for Mass Effect 3. However, the offering we have today isn’t merely some re-cut, extended version of a trailer we’ve already seen—it’s an all-new , (semi) live-action trailer featuring crying people, barking dogs, looting and most of the other stuff you’d expect to see as a result of an ongoing Reaper invasion.

You can watch the trailer right here:

One thing that’s notable about this particular trailer is that it doesn’t focus much on Commander Shepard or his/her crew. And while there’s value to showing the more human side of the conflict that unfolds in the game, it’s a curious decision to remove Shepard and the other stars of the game from the equation besides a bit of blurry running and shooting.

What did you think of the trailer? Will it inspire new Mass Effect 3 sales?

EA Sports Returns to NBA Live

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 12:55PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: EA Sports, nba elite, NBA Live, nba live 10, nba live 13

Insert basketball-related pun here.

It’s been three years since we last visited the NBA Live franchise. NBA Live 10, released in 2009, was the last chance fans of the Live franchise had to get their LeBron James on. While a new basketball title under the name NBA Elite had been planned, it was scrapped back in 2010 after it turned out to be terrible. Since then, players have had to rely on updates to NBA Live 2012 to keep their NBA fantasies alive.

Well, update no more, basketball lovers. EA has announced that it’s bringing the NBA Live brand back this year, with NBA Live 13. According to EA Sports, Live 13 will be a brand new experience that “captures the future” of basketball. Whatever that may mean. Space Jam, maybe?

Details are relatively scant at the moment, but EA has promised an update on the game’s official Facebook page sometime next week. So stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, you can keep an eye on the EA Sports NBA Twitter for a steady stream of NBA players playing early builds of the new title.

Calm Down: Blizzard F2P Rumors are Out of Hand

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 5:48PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: Blizzard, BlizzCon, diablo, dota, World of Warcraft

One random source does not a story make.

The gaming internet exploded earlier today with rumors that Blizzard, creator of World of Warcraft and Diablo, had a top-secret free-to-play project in the works. This news scoop came courtesy of Develop, a gaming news site that apparently has the inside dope on what’s going on over at Blizzard HQ. Naturally, the rumor quickly spun into a firestorm.

Here’s the problem—no one stopped to ask Blizzard. And when someone (GameSpot) finally got around to doing it, the company simply said, “Yeah, we’re working on a F2P game. It’s called Blizzard DOTA, and we announced it at BlizzCon.”

So, by all accounts, this looks like another case of the gaming press putting the cart before the horse. Blizzard is indeed working on a F2P game – it’s been confirmed that DOTA will run on a microtransaction model – but there’s nothing particularly “top secret” about it.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along!

Unless, of course, the response from Blizz was all a clever ruse…

What do you think Blizz is up to?

Final Fantasy Tactics for iPad is Effing Expensive

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 5:31PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: Final Fantasy Tactics, final fantasy tactics ipad, final fantasy tactics iphone, Square Enix

Square Enix brings its beloved turn-based strategy game to the iPad, but at a steep price.

You may remember a few months ago when Square Enix brought Final Fantasy Tactics to the iPhone, and said that an iPad version would follow shortly afterward. It turns out that in Square Enix’s world, “shortly afterward” means “in about six months.” Whatever the reason, the game is finally here.

Final Fantasy Tactics for iPad resolves some of the main issues with the iPhone version, such as play speed and sensitive touch controls. The game has also received a minor graphical upgrade—emphasis on the minor. Of course, Final Fantasy Tactics is 15 years old, so it’s sort of expected that it will look a bit dated, even on the iPad.

If you’re a fan of the franchise or the Tactics series, you can pick up Final Fantasy Tactics on the iTunes Store for – seriously - $17.99. Not sure why exactly Square Enix thinks its games deserve such a higher price than pretty much every other game on the market, but there you have it.

Would you pay nearly $20 for an iPad game, even an admittedly very good one?

GameStop Shuts Down Facebook Store

Posted Feb 21, 2012 at 3:26PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Facebook, GameStop

You know, that Facebook store that no one knew existed.

Did you know that Facebook has storefronts where you can buy things from your favorite companies? Me neither. And, apparently, neither did the 3.5 million people that follow GameStop on the social networking site. Thanks to the total lack of interest, GameStop has officially shut down its Facebook store just six months after launch.

Apparently, Facebook shopping was supposed to be the next big thing in online retail. Some analysts thought that Facebook would turn into its very own shopping destination. However, it turns out that people don’t really feel like buying stuff when they’re hanging out with their friends. Not to mention that the entire effort was poorly marketed—most customers didn’t even realize that retailers even had a Facebook store.

GameStop isn’t alone in this disaster. Gap, J.C. Penny and Nordstrom have all open and then shut down Facebook stores in just the last 12 months. Overall, the experiment was a far cry from the Amazon and PayPal threat it was made out to be.

Did you ever make a purchase through GameStop Facebook? Did you even know that was a thing?

Watch Out for this Shitty Pokémon Rip-Off

Posted Feb 20, 2012 at 3:32PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: Game Boy, itunes store, pokemon yellow, zynga

Game cloning strikes again in Apple’s iTunes Store.

It goes without saying that the great majority of games on the iTunes Store are rip-offs of games that came before them. Even those titles that aren’t blatant copies (Zynga!) borrow mechanics from older games that the mobile populace may never have heard of. However, there’s a very thin line between copying mechanics and outright plagiarism, especially when the copying is done explicitly to scam customers.

Apple is normally on the lookout for stuff like this, but they seem to have dropped the ball when it comes to Pokemon Yellow, a game released on the iTunes Store on February 17. The game, featuring artwork from the Pokémon series and claiming to be “just like the original,” is nothing more than a sneaky cash grab by an unscrupulous game developer.

The app apparently does nothing more than open and crash, and certainly doesn’t contain anything remotely close to the original Pokémon Yellow for the Game Boy. The app developer has even gone so far as to generate fake reviews for the game, one of which claims, “Just like the original. Only better because you can play it on the most intuitive device ever - the iPhone!”

It’s all bullshit folks, so save your $0.99. Now that gaming news sites have caught a whiff of the fraud, it’s only a matter of time before Apple pulls the app.

Still, one has to wonder how the thing got through in the first place.

Skylanders Selling Like Incredibly Expensive Hotcakes

Posted Feb 20, 2012 at 1:08PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, new york toy fair, skylanders

There’s no limit to which a parent will not go to quiet a screaming child.

Skylanders is a full-fledged phenomenon, with Activision confirming that the game/toy hybrid generated more revenue in 2011 than any other new children’s IP. And where there is a phenomenon, there’s a chance for eBay users to cash in. Similar to the past run we’ve seen on toys like Furbies and Beanie Babies, Skylanders toys are fetching ridiculous sums on the auction website.

Check out this eBay page and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Rare characters from New York’s Toy Fair are selling for just around $300.00, which is strange because the toys don’t appear to be all that rare. While it’s not uncommon for rare variants of pretty much anything to land a high price on eBay, one has to wonder at who is actually purchasing these Skylanders. Is it collectors or parents with kids to please?

The Skylanders hype doesn’t seem like it’s going to die down anytime soon, with Activision announcing another line-up of characters and toys due in 2012. Perhaps there’s an opportunity in there for collectors willing to wait in midnight lines and stockpile figures. There’s definitely a market for convention-specific items, if you don’t mind attending a toy fair.

Would you pay $300 for a rare variant of something you already own? What is it about little pieces of plastic that sends collectors into a frenzy?

Final Fantasy XIV Server Merges Still Happening

Posted Feb 18, 2012 at 5:29PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: final fantasy xiv, server merges, Square Enix

Square Enix has listened to your feedback. Well, not really.

We talked last week about Square Enix’s plan to consolidate nearly half of the Final Fantasy XIV servers in the hopes of improving the experience of players, but those players were apparently none too happy about the plan. After extensive forum battles and player-to-dev conversations, Square Enix has made a few minor tweaks, but left the major stuff intact.

Server merges will now take place March 27. The company isn’t ruling out new realms at the moment, but is naturally waiting to see what happens after the release of Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 before it makes any big decisions.

You can log into your account as of March 1 to choose what server you’d like to land in. Every server has a population cap, so you’ll want to lock yours down sooner rather than later; otherwise you risk ending up on a random realm assigned by Square Enix.

Here’s the full details:

First Stage: From 0:00 a.m. PST, March 1 (Thursday) to 0:59 a.m. PDT, March 12 (Monday), 2012.

- Players will still be able to change Worlds even after applying for a World transfer.

* Players will not be able to select Worlds that are already populated with the maximum number of characters, but players will be able to move from such Worlds to other Worlds. Note that if a player leaves one World to transfer to another World, and in the interim the first World is filled with the maximum number of characters, the player will no longer be able to transfer back to the original World.

* It is possible that some Worlds will reach the population limit very soon after World transfer applications begin.

Second Stage: From 1:00 a.m. PDT, March 12 (Monday) to 0:59 PDT, March 19 (Monday), 2012.

- Worlds that are populated with the maximum allowable characters will be fixed and locked.

- Locked Worlds cannot be selected as a transfer destination.

- As well, all players in locked Worlds will no longer be able to apply for World transfers.

For this reason, we recommend that players complete their World transfer applications in the First Stage.

What do you think of the plan to merge servers?

Paranoid Beyond Reason? Buy this Kinect Security Device

Posted Feb 18, 2012 at 2:50PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: kinect, Microsoft, paul harper, pritect

If you’re terrified that your Kinect is beaming your sensitive habits into space, Paul Harper has just the device for you.

Microsoft’s Kinect device is capable of reading human movements, understanding 3D space and a whole host of other cool things (as evidenced by the modding community). It’s also, apparently, quite handy as a clandestine advertising tool.

Dennis Durkin, vice president of Microsoft’s gaming division, noted a couple of years back that the Kinect could potentially be used to gather information for advertisers. For example, the device could read recognizable product logos in your home and use that data to put together a tailored ad package based on your habits.

It’s pretty intrusive stuff, and even if Microsoft hasn’t taken advantage of the technology yet, there’s always the possibility they could. Which is why Paul Harper has invented the Pritect. It’s not particularly advanced—just a black cover you slip over your Kinect when you’re not using it to bust moves. The cover stops the device from pulling data, and protects it from dust buildup.

If you’re the type of person that’s concerned over Microsoft tracking your out-of-game habits, you can pick up a Pritect for $14.99.

Alternatively, you could stop acting crazy.

Ubisoft Loves Price Gouging

Posted Feb 17, 2012 at 3:14PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: dragon hunter, iTunes, ps vita, psn, Ubisoft

The publisher once again proves that it’s run by thieves and sneaks with a new Vita-specific price hike.

Have you played Dragon Hunter: Alliance? You know, the game you can pick up for $12.99 on PSN, or for $0.99 on the iTunes Store? It’s a pretty cool little game, priced exactly right for what you get. Unless, of course, you’re getting it on the PS Vita.

That’s because Ubisoft, publisher of the game and money-grubber galore, has pushed the price for the Vita version up to $39.99. And it’s not like the Vita version is a different experience designed specifically for the Vita—it’s a simple port with a few additional features.

I’d do the math on exactly what percentage that mark-up would be, but I’m not good with numbers. So, I’ll just assume it’s a markup of shitload percent, which I’m sure is fairly close to the actual amount. Ubisoft isn’t really known for caring about its customers, but a price gouge of this magnitude is almost unprecedented.

So, yeah, if you want to play Dragon Hunter: Alliance, just pick it up on your iPhone, iPad or PS3. Or, if you’re into throwing your money away, on the Vita.

2K Sports Announces 2K12 Bundle

Posted Feb 17, 2012 at 1:47PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: 2K Sports, mlb 2k12, mlb the show, nba 2k12

Snag MLB and NBA 2K12 for one low price. Or you could buy The Show.

2K Sports has had a good run with its 2K line of sports games, with NBA and MLB titles leading the pack. And if you’re a sports fanatic who enjoys buying what is essentially the same game every year, 2K has a deal for you: Both MLB 2K12 and NBA 2K12 will be packaged together for the low, low price of $69.99.

It’s a good deal for two games, especially if you’re the type to refresh your lineup every year. MLB 2K12 hits shelves on March 6 and the addition of NBA 2K12 into the mix will hopefully help 2K move a few extra copies of their baseball title, which is sadly the only MLB game available for Xbox 360 owners. MLB 2K doesn’t have the best track record, with quality varying wildly from title to title.

Regardless of the hit or miss quality of past MLB 2K games, 2K12 is shaping up to be an interesting addition to the franchise. The combo pack only makes the deal sweeter, although it makes the standalone game a bit of a rip-off for the non-basketball inclined. Hey, if you like sports and you don’t have a PS3, you may as well pick up the bundle.

Are you planning on picking up any baseball games this spring? Which ones?

On Shelves this Week: November 27 – December 3, 2011

Posted Nov 24, 2011 at 12:07PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: combat arms, Epic Games, heavy fire, infinity blade

Most of the big stuff has come out already, but there are still plenty of new games to play in this week’s edition of “On Shelves.”

It looks like the crazy holiday release schedule is finally slowing down, with most of the major releases already on shelves and waiting to be picked up. But the games industry is an ever-moving beast, and there are still quite a few games scheduled for release in the upcoming week.

Who knows, some of them might even be good! But when an iPhone game is the biggest launch of the week, don’t expect any miracles.

Here’s your list of releases, organized in no way at all:

Infinity Blade II

iPhone, iPad

ESRB N/A

Epic Games

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan – The Chosen Few

PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS

ESRB Teen

Mastiff

Steel Armor – Blaze of War

ESRB RP

Play Indie

Jaws: Ultimate Predator

Wii, 3DS

ESRB Teen

Majesco Studios

Small World Tunnels

ESRB RP

Days of Wonder

Face Racers: Photo Finish

Nintendo 3DS

ESRB E

Majesco

Combat Arms: Zombies

iPhone

ESRB N/A

Nexon

That’s pretty much it for this week. There are a few other minor titles coming out, but honestly Infinity Blade II is the only thing on this list I had even heard of before today. GameSpot’s list is missing box art for 2/3s of the list.

Looks like this may be the break everyone needed for Skyrim!

Arkham City Reviews Rolling In

Posted Oct 14, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: arkham asylum, arkham city, Batman, reviews

Batman’s newest adventure is earning high marks from pretty much everyone that touches it. We’ve got a quick breakdown of what people are saying.

We’re less than a week away from entering Arkham one more time and dealing with the many terrors it contains. The last Batman game we saw earned waves of critical praise and was hailed by some as the best superhero game every made. The only question now is, can the game’s sequel meet the standard set by its predecessor while living up to the insane hype?

So far, it looks like the answer to that question is a resounding “Yes.” Here’s a quick run of what some of the major reviewers are saying about the title:

GameSpot – 9.0

They praise the game’s open environment, level design, slick controls and clean presentation. I believe I heard the word “exhilarating” in their video review, so take that for what you will. Puzzles are noted as tricky but rewarding, but the final confrontation is named anti-climactic.

GameTrailers – 9.4

Side missions are noted as a highlight of the game, though they do note that the game sometimes sends you in circles. The environment is also acclaimed here, as are the context controls that make the Arkham series so interesting. There is a brief lament over Batman’s inability to grapple through barbed wire, but overall the exploration aspects of the game earn high marks.

Joystiq – 4.5 Stars

Cleaner controls, a more interesting environment and a variety of interesting things to do are the primary focuses here, with the site glumly noting that the central narrative never quite lives up to everything else. They do note the game as an improvement, albeit slight, over the original Arkham game. They too, make mention of a lame final encounter.

GamePro – 5 Stars

GamePro’s reviewer calls Arkham City the best superhero game he’s ever played. Unlike other reviews, GamePro was impressed with the storyline and only took issue with the limited complexity of boss encounters. They also note that the optional Catwoman adventure option, available only to players that purchase the game new, could be a problem for those that like to pick up used titles.

So there you have it. When you look at the reviews in aggregate, it looks like Arkham City is an excellent use of your hard-earned money. And, like I’ve mentioned previously, if you pre-order the title through Wal-Mart, they’ll throw in a $10 gift card and a copy of the original Arkham Asylum to boot.

Are you ready to put on the cape one more time?

Really, the app may not seem to do much for you, but if you are a Dr. Who fan, then you'll know the significance of this little gadget, especially if you've been following the series from the start.

Anywhow, here's what Buck_7 had to say about this development: "Hello all! TO the best of my abilities, I have recreated the Sonic Screwdriver! Which is a iPhone app. I took pictures using an iPhone and edited them to make them DS compatible. Have fun!"

If you're not quite sure how you could enjoy this on your DS, then this video right here should do the trick for you. And then when you're done, do follow our DL site for more homebrewed goodness.
