Upcomming Events

There's two games coming out on the distant but not so distant horizon, well now that I think about it theres three. First is Prototype, the third person action adventure where you play as a genetically enhanced super mutated shape-shifter. As an experiment gone wrong you can consume other humans DNA giving you more powers and capabilities as you progress. From the recent gameplay videos it looks as if your in GTA IV with superpowers. It also looks like were going to be involved in a number of epic helicopter fights along with many cars being thrown, blown up, and well just a lot of destruction.



Next is a game is a bit different than the norm. In Dark Void your a pilot who got lost in the Bermuda Triangle and gets thrown into a Different Dimension, different planet, time zone... Whatever you get the drift. In this new place you and other survivors fight against these alien, robots, android, synthetic being... whatever. Anyway you get a jetpack and a gun. Lots of interesting combat situations.
There's been a lot of talk about the Vertical Combat Situations with you taking cover while hanging on to a Cliff, UFO type thing, weather balloon... whatever, and firing above you. Sure looks interesting. One thing against it though is that from what I've seen, the graphics could look a bit better but hey, they get the job done.
Also I'm sure you've seen or heard of Battlestar Galatica, well the guy who made the music for that show is going to be composing the music for Dark Void. Just a heads up.



Then there's RED FACTION : GUERRILLA . Game looks to be awesome. Very destructible envierments , ( How many times have we heard that before ). Gameplay videos show complete buildings being demolished in real time. My main concern is weather I should get this for 360 or PC . It is 20 bucks cheaper on PC with better graphics and it will probably run better on my machine than the 360, thought the multiplayer is probably going to be more fun on 360.



Now then, anyone watching Sci-Fi channels WCG Ultimate Gamer? Tonight the featured game was Halo 3 . It was cool seeing some real pros play that intense, although Dante got boned in their elimantion match. Anyway you should watch it's good.

Also Crytek, developers of Crysis and FarCry, have been showing off their new CryEngine 3 engine made to be able to run very high graphics settings in the Xbox 360 and PS3, and if you ask me this is a real breakthrough for console gaming. This brings some of the graphical miracles of Crysis to consoles. Not to mention how amazing CryEngine 3 will look on PC. Lets just hope we don't have to use Vista or DX 10 or 11 to run it.
