Here we go. The three trailers that we were all promised for GTA V have just dropped online for all of our viewing pleasure. Each one covers a little bit on one of the protagonists from the game. It is also pretty safe to assume that the trailers are all rendered using the in-game engine and I'd be surprised if they weren't. But I digress. The three protagonists are: Michael — A wealthy man battling a midlife crisis. Read More...

If your eyes are wide enough, and your screen is too, you can already see that Psylocke and Mr. Sinister have been added to the roster of Marvel characters to have a role in Deadpool: The Game. What kind of role is still to be fully determined, but I think it is safe to assume that they will most likely be taking on the role they do in the comics. Or they might not. Who know when it comes to video game tie-ins? Read More...

Back in 2011 we were all introduced to the wonders that could be a Zombie RPG with Dead Island. Two years later now we get to see how everything has progressed story-wise and engine-wise with Dead Island: Riptide. Is it just another crappy sequel that seems to be all the rage, or does it stand out on its own? Continue on to see what I thought. Story We pick up with the "Immune Fab Four" directly after the events of Dead Island. Read More...

Given all the horror and evil in the world right now it seems perfect time to announce Bethesda and Tango Gameworks' new title The Evil Within. This is what the Bethesda has been teasing with the Vine clips they have been posting. You can see the full announcement trailer below if you are finished with being teased. So far, details are extremely sparse on TEW. Outside of the announcement and following images, the only other concrete detail is that it is being helmed by Shinji Mikami. Read More...

Nintendo has made some big announcements with their latest Nintendo Direct video. Satoru Iwata, Bill Trinen, and everyone’s favorite Reggie Fils-Aime have a plethora of updates and first-looks to whet the appetites of Wii U and 3DS owners everywhere. Let's break down what we've got. The year of Luigi continues as more details have been announced about the Green Wonder’s many appearances this year.

If you are looking forward to Deadpool: The Game then you will be happy to know that there is now a release date as well as pre-order bonuses galore for all of us. There are also a few more screen shots of the game but nothing overly revealing or special in terms of news or features. This is starting to concern me as we are approaching the release date quickly and for the most part we have no clue how the game is going to play, only how it is going to look. Anyhow, the point is not to bicker at the moment. It is to let you know that Deadpool will be coming on June 25th this year. Read More...

With yearly installments coming from two different teams of developers and a horde of mindless followers, I felt it would be nice if I gave my two cents on how to improve upon the stagnant Call of Duty formula before it turns into the next Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. So let's see what's wrong with the formula now. 1.) Lag Compensation. Read More...

Big news in the world of witty cross-over card game simulators. Telltale Games has recently announced that Poker Night at the Inventory is getting a sequel. According to the Telltale's website, “Poker Night 2 is the unnecessary sequel to Poker Night at the Inventory! In the original game you played poker with a bunch of weirdoes for fame and fortune Team Fortress 2 items and the satisfaction of beating the odds.” The original game had you playing against Max from Sam&Max, Strong Bad from Homestar Runner, The Heavy from Team Fortress 2, and Tycho from Penny Arcade. This time around you will be able to play against Max’s partner Sam, Claptrap from Borderlands, Brock Sampson from Venture Brothers, and Ash Williams from Evil Dead. Read More...

Earlier this month we had the official announcement of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag with not much to go on other than the time period of the story and the culture it is based around. During the reign of Blackbeard and pirates for those who are just now following along. No matter which you are, we now have a bit of game play from Black Flag and it looks like Ubisoft is trying to focus on the naval combat that debuted back in ACIII not so very long ago. It also looks like we will get to punch sharks in the gills during underwater scenes of the game, so there is also that. I'll be honest; I have yet to actually play AC III nor any of the 'spin off' titles that launched alongside so I have no clue how well or poorly this new mechanic actually handled in the games.

PAX East was home to many Indie games this year. So many, that most of the games were located in a section called the Indie Mega Booth. Outlast was one of the games that had their setup in this area. Outlast comes from the brand new indie developers Red Barrels. The company is a 10 man team from Montreal, with each person having experience working with companies such as THQ, EA, and Ubisoft. The team joined up to create and deliver incredibly unforgettable single-player games. With Outlast being their first game, I can say they have already found themselves a comfortable spot in my memory bank. Read More...

Deep Silver was at PAX East during the weekend to show off their recently purchased game Saints Row IV. Volition started the demo by explaining the games new story. Saints Row IV takes the leader of the Saints and makes him the president of the United States. But all is not well as the leader of the Saints have been captured by aliens and placed in a virtual version of Steel port. The new story direction allows Volition to make Saints Row even crazier. One of the biggest changes coming in Saints Row IV is allowing your character to use superpowers. Read More...

The guys over at 4A Games have just released a new trailer for the upcoming Metro: Last Light. This trailer features a lot of Neo-Nazi's, executions of civilians, and a little surprise at the very end. For those who don't know, Metro: Last Light and Metro 2033 are based off the international best seller by Dimitry Glukhovsky. The Metro franchise takes place in a post-apocalyptic Russia where a nuclear war has ravaged the entire earth forcing humanity to live underground. But they're not alone. Read More...

The last few months I have been emailing back and forth with Chris Avellone; Co-Founder of Obsidian Entertainment; conducting an interview over email. This has culminated in one of the most in-depth, and amazing interviews I have done, or seen anywhere. Enjoy. Aggrogamer: First let's talk about the old days. You started off at Black Isle with Brian Fargo and a lot of the guys at Obsidian working on the Fallout titles and some of the Gold Seal DnD games. How was it helping shape modern RPGs at the time?

With PAX East less than a week away let's get a look at everything going down this coming weekend. Firstly, we have the recently re-announced Saints Row 4 from Volition and their new owners Deep Silver. Nothing about this game aside from the release date and a fluff trailer has been shown. What do you expect from the newest installment of the Saints franchise? Personally I expect the game to be even more insane, with hopefully a deeper customization, as I felt Saints Row III pulled back a bit from we had in Saints Row II. Also, Deep Silver is showing off the new installment of Dead Island franchise, Dead Island: Riptide. Read More...

With the loss of THQ from the publishing world I know many of you, myself included, have wondered about certain franchises and their future.

If you need to see to believe, below is the official trailer with release date mixed in. You can thank Deep Silver for that. Take a watch and wait for more details to come. Read More...
