Insomnia The dieselpunk RPG, Insomnia: The Ark, has a set release date now and we can expect to be playing Insomnia: The Ark before then end of September We have a final release date for Insomnia: The Ark set down for us now and we can all expect to be able to play the game on September 27th now. That is not that far out for this new Dieselpunk, Sci-Fi RPG that Studio Mono has put together with HeroCraft. I am sure there are reasons for this, but this now places Insomnia: The Ark, a smaller title, well up against many larger titles that will be flowing out here over the course of the coming weeks.

Spider-Man One more video for Spider-Man is here to cover all of the ways that the team feels they perfected the web-swinging in the upcoming Spider-Man The reviews for Spider-Man have been pouring out there and so far it looks like a lot of our concerns can be placed aside. That is if you want to trust their words on the game so far and not keep losing your mind off missing puddles and such. No matter how you want to slice it right now, it looks like we have one more look at the web-swinging system that Insomniac Games has built to help us ignore some of those concerns and get ready for September 7th here. Hopefully, you have pre-ordered your copy of Spider-Man so you are fully ready to dive in with your PS4. Read More...

Hitman A new ‘How To Hitman’ video is here to show us how to get into the assassin’s mindset and use the new features of Hitman 2 to our advantage More for Hitman 2 has stalked its way out into the open to give us another look at some of the updates coming to the game to place us in that assassin's mindset we will need to always be in when we are playing. At least in the fictional way as I am sure that IO Interactive is not trying to raise a whole lot of contract killers out there. It is already a dark world that we live in here and we do not need Hitman to bleed over. Read More...

Anthem Two new concepts for Anthem have been shown off in terms of story choices in the world of Anthem as you play out the designed story New gameplay for Anthem is here and this new bit shows off the two new elements of the game that BioWare is working hard on to expand the game further than a space-age shooter. In their true manner, it looks like we are going to be able to craft our own story in the game now and expand out their world. This is at least as it sounds here even though it more or less equates to Anthem having a branching narrative with our choices have consequences along the way. Read More...

Spider-Man We have a look at the photo mode that is coming to Spider-Man as a day one update as well as a look at another Spider-Man villain It would a be a weird thing if a Spider-Man game did not have a photo system in it of some sort given the franchise and character's history with snapping photos in general. We have seen things like it from the past but it looks like Insomniac Games is giving us a new version of the Photo Mode we have come to enjoy in many other games. Even if this one does not fully fit in the world of Spider-Man the way it should, it will be bringing us some new and interesting ways to look at the world and share. Read More...

Hitman A new location for Hitman 2 has been revealed to us all that is take the Hitman franchise to Columbia to stalk our prey Get ready to head deep into some new jungles in Hitman 2 as the next location for the game is announced and slightly shown off. It looks like Agent 47 will be stalking the jungles of Columbia in the new game when it drops and be able to use all of the things you would expect in said jungle. At least that is the assumption here with what IO Interactive has brought us here today as it just shows off the location more than anything in terms of gameplay mechanics. We will obviously get to use the environment to our advantage here in this area of Hitman 2, but I am curious as to what we will have hidden about besides our victims. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week It is time again to wrap up another week's coverage in all things video games here. At least as much of the week we were able to cover as there seemed to be an endless supply of updates from Gamescom that kept on coming and we tried to keep you updated with.

Spider-Man We have a new look at how the action for Spider-Man was set up and captured as well as a timeline on when all of the DLC for Spider-Man will come at us It looks like we have a one-two punch worth of updates here for Spider-Man just over a week out from its launch on the PS4. One is a bit of a behind the scenes look at how Insomniac Games set up all of the action for the game, including that massive Raft fight from E3, and the other bit is to tell us when we can expect all of that DLC after September 7th. If you were worried that you were going to have to wait a long time after completing Spider-Man's main story, then you will be glad to know that we will be deep in the webs of the DLC almost as fast as the game is coming up. Almost… To kick things off here, we have a look at the motion capture and storyboarding techniques the studio used when trying to recapture the fun and feel of Spider-Man in the game. Read More...

Video Games The list of free video games hitting the PlayStation and Xbox systems in September has been released and there are some great video games included in the mix A new month is almost on us here with September and that means new video games that we are going to get for free.

World War Z A new gameplay video for World War Z is here and it focuses on the massive and dynamic swarm simulations that World War Z will have within Love it or hate it, World War Z the film gave us a great visual on how the undead swarms can move and attack in a realistic style. There is little doubt on that and I am guessing this is why Saber Interactive has placed some great focus on this part of their game and engine they are working with when it comes to the video game version of it all. There is something terrifying about seeing hundreds of undead sprinting at you and you have limited weapons and ammo. That is why I am glad to see it a huge focal point in World War Z here for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Read More...

Life Is Strange See the opening minutes of Life Is Strange 2 here and ass how much heavier this addition to Life Is Strange will be starting off It looks like we do not need to wait until September 27th to see how Life Is Strange 2 is going to start off. That is unless you want to walk into DontNod's next installment completely in the dark. I say this as it looks like we have the first twenty minutes of Life Is Strange 2's first episode here to look at and take in. Obviously, if you move forward with everything here you know you are walking into spoilers for the game's story. Read More...

Spider-Man A new “Just The Facts” for Spider-Man is here and this one focuses in on the relationships Spider-Man will have to protect in the game Another promotional video for Spider-Man has made its way out to the internet today and it focusing on the relationships that Spidey will have and need to protect in the game. On both sides of the coin as well as he has some relationships with a few of the villains in the game as well as his usual cast of characters that he keeps his secret from. Although in past videos it does look like Insomniac Games has offered up that secret to a few more than before and we will have to deal with that too. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week This week in video games is about done but it will still rage on as Gamescom still flows out there. We have a whole lot more for the event to bring you here and we already had so much to show you. More for the upcoming Spider-Man, a little more for Darksiders III, the same footage for a few other games we had behind closed doors at E3, and much more. More like news on two Cthulhu video games in terms of The Sinking City and Call Of Cthulhu. Read More...

Man Of Medan A new horror series of games has been announced with Man Of Medan coming at us to kick of The Dark Pictures anthology If you are a fan of what Supermassive Games has been up to recently with their titles, then you will be tickled pink with their latest announcement of The Dark Pictures — Man Of Medan. Technically two separate things that link together but the names run together for now. To be clear, The Dark Pictures is a new anthology of games with Man Of Medan being the first in the series. Read More...

The Sinking City New videos for The Sinking City are here and they show off more of the madness The Sinking City will play with as well as some real gameplay It is starting to look like Cthulhu is making a huge comeback in video games here as we have more to look at for The Sinking City as we wait for it to join the ranks on March 21st of next year. It is not like we have not heard of the game so far as Frogwares has been doing a great job at keeping us all informed, but what we have here makes it look like they are taking the mythos and giving us all what we have been looking for what it comes to these themes. The theme of sanity and darkness run deep in The Sinking City and we have a whole lot of new things to take in for the game now. Read More...
