SGC member Drattigan’s coughed up a little bit of news regarding Burnout Paradise’s next big update. You heard it here first! Remember, getting stuff on the front page is as easy as finding something good to write about in your own forumsblog and writing it up. If it’s funny or just damn good, it could end up on the front page. Nice work Drattigan and remember guys, you wont find this exclusive news anywhere else!
Following the recent release, and phenomenal success, of Burnout Paradise’s Codename Cagney, Criterion Games were delighted to announce at E3 earlier this week of their latest installment in the ‘Year of Paradise’ update collection, codenamed Réalité (pronounced ‘Reality’..it’s French or something). What has currently shocked fans of the game is the fact that the update is set for release a month before August’s Davis update, the apparent next chapter in Paradise City’s downloadable line-up. So, as the seconds to launch tick and tock by, we anxiously ask ourselves, what do we have in store for us next week?
Good morrow fine Sirs and Madams. It has come to my attention that you may well be feeling a certain qualmness with regards to Mirror’s Edge nausea inducing capabilities, but rest assured, the fine folks over at DICE have found a veritable bouquet of solutions that are positively bursting with ingenuity and charisma that aspire to resolving the conundrums at hand in a swift and mannered fashion.
Okay, for all intents and purposes, E3’s pretty much over. The announcements have been announced, the press conferences have been pressed (or conferred?) While we sort through the aftermath of it all, I have one question left… Where The Wipeout At? (more…)
Kotaku’s got some unfortunate news that makes Sony’s position in Europe even weaker than it is now: the PlayStation Store’s video download area, just launched in America, is staying there until next year at the earliest.
Colour me SERIOUSLY pissed off. Hit the jump for more.
Out of all the games scheduled to be hoisted up for praise at this years E3, only one had me twitching for more details. That game, of course, is Little Big Planet. You know, that game I brazenly said would be the PS3’s game of the year. With some stellar new gameplay videos and some great stage demo’s, I feel pretty justified in my GOTY declaration.
Check out all the latest details on LBP after the jump! (more…)
While my buddies, Doc and Dave are galavanting around Los Angeles, I was stuck here… playing Haze. I played it all the way through. I may be the only person at Sarcasticgamer.com that did play it all the way through. Well, here’s some breaking news: Haze sucks. Sucky, suck, suck, sucks.
Oh my god, Haze sucks. Let me count the ways, after the jump.
After playing Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, which both took suckatude to previously unimaginable heights, what little faith I had in movie tie-in games died. You push a game to be released at the same time as a movie and you get garbage. Which is why the recent announcement by developer GRIN is so special. Rather than give us yet another game that only a blind mother could love, GRIN is working on a Wanted movie tie-in game that, obviously, will NOT be limited by a film release window. Considering how wicked the comic book and the film were (storyline and acting notwithstanding), I would definitely be interested in this title.
Check out all the Wanted details after the jump! (more…)
Doc and Dave got a chance to see a walkthrough of Sony Online Entertainment’s upcoming MMOFPS The Agency. While they got to see it first hand, and let the SOE representative do the talking, I thought I’d take a minute to hit the high points and offer my off-the cuff impressions. (more…)
Yesterday, Sony held theirE3 conference and it was a pretty interesting affair. It was boring at the start, pretty boring at the end. (save for the MAG announcement, which looks to be a pre-rendered Killzone 2-style affair all over again.) In the middle there was intruguing announcements coming one after the other. Resistance on PSP, emphasis on the PlayStation Network and the surprise announcement of the movie store being launched imminently.
For a PS3 owner Stateside, all of the news at E3 was pretty exciting, right? What about elsewhere in the world?
Round two of the epic battle between “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” is creeping inevitably closer. I expected that the months leading up to the titles’ fall releases would devolve into a slap fight for song and artist exclusivity.
Fortunately for gamers, that scenario has not happened. However, some music game aficionados might still find it difficult to pick a side. Even though both titles will provide a full-band experience, there are enough differences to distinguish each title. For instance, “Guitar Hero: World Tour” will allow gamers to create their own music (sans vocals). Not to be outdone, Harmonix will make over 500 songs available for “Rock Band 2″ owners by the end of 2008.
It can be a difficult choice. However, it is one that Xbox 360 owners (and hopefully PS3, PS2 and Wii owners) might not have to make ever again. (more…)
