Deus Ex Human Revolution is the third game in the Dues Ex series. The first game was a huge success, and it quickly swept up a huge fan base. Fans waited eagerly like hungry dogs for a sequel that would be as good as the first, but unfortunately the sequel did not satisfy the hungry fans. It was a let down, and it has become a dark stain on the Deus Ex franchise.

Deus Ex Human Revolution has huge shoes to fill. Will it be as great as Deus Ex, or will it tank like Deus Ex Invisible War. Luckily for everyone it has been almost eight years since Deus Ex Invisible War, and a lot of things have changed.

There is some good news for everyone. It looks like the Deus Ex Human Revolution gameplay is shaping up to be a lot like the very first game in the series. So far it has the same feel as Deus Ex, but with some great new things thrown into the mix.

Deus Ex Human Revolution takes us back in time. You could even say it is a prequel because it is happening 25 years before all of the events in Deus Ex. Body modifications are not the norm, and there are a lot of folks who think that people should be people, and not part machine. The whole setting has a very futuristic punk style that is a welcome change from other games.

Deus Ex Human Revolution Release Date August 23, 2011

You get to play as Adam Jensen, a human that wakes up after a violent attack. A quick survey of your body shows you that most of it has been replaced with mechanical pieces. These are augmentations and they are the cause of the current state of the world. You don’t look like yourself. You barely look human, and now you are in stuck in the middle of this fight.

The augmentations have good and bad points. The bad points are that you are no longer human. You are part machine, and we all know how machines don’t always do what they are supposed to. Sometimes the augmentations glitch. The good side to these cyborgenic parts is that they can be upgraded, and when they are, they enhance your physical abilities.

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Deus Ex Human Revolution gameplay is action at the heart, but it can also be played with stealth. It is a a first person shooter, but it changes to a third person view when you take cover.

The guns in the game are very powerful. Just a few rounds will take down most enemies. This goes both ways. If you stand there like a human target, you will quickly learn that the enemies mean business. The enemies are tough. They are smart and they will gang up on you, flank you and try their best to send you to an early grave.

Deus Ex Human Revolution is shaping up to be a fantastic game. Deus Ex Human Revolution release date is in the United States on August 23rd, and on August 26th in Europe. It is a great time to be a gamer, and Deus Ex Human Revolution is yet another must have game coming out this Summer.

The last offering was a little game called Oblivion. Gamers spent countless hours on hundreds of role playing quests that spanned an area of 16 square miles. It was a huge open world where players could do just about anything that they wanted, and go anywhere that they wanted, at anytime. Elder Scrolls V Skyrim promises to be no different in that respect, but technology has grown significantly since Oblivion, so you can expect huge improvements on every aspect of the game.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is a role playing game at its core. You can play from a first person perspective or you can play from a third person perspective. You can switch the point of view at anytime during gameplay. You can level up your character by completing quests. You can use weapons, your fists and magic to complete your goals and you can do it anytime you want. The free roam aspect of these games makes them so unique and it ensures a different scenario every time you play.

There is one thing that is different in the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, one big, scale covered, difference. There are dragons in the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and they play a huge role in the story. They will swoop in from above and attack you at any given moment. You can choose to stay and fight or run! If you run, the dragon will follow you. No place is safe. It will be a battle just trying to get away from the winged beasts. If you chose to stay and battle the dragon, you will have a fight on your hands unlike anything seen in a video game.

When you defeat the dragon, your character absorbs the soul of the dragon. The dragon’s soul will give you powers and a new gameplay mechanic called, “shouts.” These shouts are the language of the dragons and each shout consists of three different words that when used by the player have a very powerful affect. Some can be used as weapons or a means of defeating enemies.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Release Date: 11/11/2011

Developer: Bethesda Game Studios – Genre: RPG – Platform: PS3/X360/PC – Publisher: Bethesda – Website: www.elderscrolls.com

Shouts can only be learned by someone who is Dragon born and your character is. Dragons are not the only way to learn shouts either. There are walls buried in ruins and old temples that are covered in dragon script. Finding all of these locations will be difficult as you battle your way through people, monsters, animals and hordes of other things.

This is just a very small sampling of what you can expect from the world of the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim when the game hits store shelves this fall. Get ready to say goodbye to your home life, because once you step into the world of the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, you will not want to leave.

Duke Nukem 3D was a huge hit in the PC gaming world. It had many things that other PC games did not. It had a good story that was full of comedy, it had great 3d visuals, a wise cracking hero that you controlled, interactive environments, big weapons, big monsters and it had strippers, lots of strippers. This combination of new found fun catapulted Duke Nukem 3D to the best selling list.

There have been a handful of games that poked fun or tried to copy many of these great gameplay elements. The Serious Sam series of video games comes to mind.

Duke Nukem Forever gameplay promises more of the same only on a much larger level. Planet Earth is under attack again. More aliens have flown in to try and take over, but this time they are taking the women first. Duke Nukem, being the ladies man that he is will not take this sitting down. He must save the world one girl at a time and you get to control him.

Duke Nukem Forever is a first person shooter, kicker and puncher. When you are not using one of the many big guns you can punch or kick your way right through the legions of nasty aliens. It is not all run and gun, there are some puzzles that will give your noodle a good test, and this game has vehicles that are drivable. It is always fun to get behind the wheel and run over some Alien scum.

If you are looking for a Duke Nukem Forever demo download, then you are in luck. If you pre-ordered the game or purchased Borderlands Game of the Year Edition, you can register at the Duke Nukem Forever website with a special code that came with these two games. This will give you early access to the game demo.

Duke Nukem Forever is not for kids. It is the only game I have ever seen rated M for the following reasons: Blood and gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Mature humor, Nudity, Strong sexual content, and use of drugs and alcohol. This game is not for the faint of heart.

Duke Nukem Forever release date: June 14, 2011

It has been a long time since Duke was a best seller. A lot has changed in the video game world and Duke has some stiff competition, but the king is up to the challenge. Ask him yourself and I am sure his response would be, “Come get some!”

Things are much different now. The Xbox 360 has been on the market for quite some time and the developers have learned how to squeeze as much power out of it as possible. The same goes for the PS3. Rage gameplay features graphics and textures unlike any other game to date. Founder of ID software, John Carmack has said some interesting things about his latest game, and when he speaks just about everyone listens.

He says that Rage is the best looking console game ever created and he contributes this to the new engine called Tech 5, which powers the games visuals. Everything you see in Rage is hand painted or created by an artist. Most games use low resolution textures that are often tiled or repeated through out the entire game. That is not the case with Rage, and the end result is a beautiful environment unlike anything you have ever seen in a video game world.

Rage also features some other things that ID’s other games have lacked. There is a substantial story to Rage, and it will allow you to drive and pilot vehicles through a huge post apocalyptic world that is filled with lots of colorful characters and enemies. It is a first person shooter at its core and it will run at a smooth 60 FPS.

Rage Co-op does offer up some interesting game play mechanics. You will not be able to drop into your friends world anytime that you want. There are specific co-op missions that are being called “Legends of the Wasteland.” They will require teamwork by both players in order to make it through some of the puzzles and environments.

Rage multi-player is trying something different. There is death match and team games, but from what I have seen it is all based on vehicle combat and it sounds like a lot of fun. The objective is to reach certain rally points that exist throughout the really unique landscape, and of course you are equipped with weapons that allow you to take out whoever is in the lead. If you destroy the leader, then you get bonus points and now you are on everyone’s hit list. It currently will feature six players at a time. This could change by the time the game ships.

Rage release date is September 13 2011.

I have seen Rage in action and it looks very pretty, but beautiful visuals are not enough to make a good looking game play great. ID has a great history of making some of the best games ever created, but can they compete with blockbuster games like Call Of Duty, Halo and Uncharted?

The Secret World is set in hubs, cities, or places of origin like Seoul, London and New York, and what may seem normal on the outside is completely different than what is going on in the game. The Secret World really starts out like most games as in, you get to create a character with a character creation tool. With this tool you’ll be able to see the origins of your characters powers and how they turn from a normal human being to someone with incredible powers not of this world.

Once your character is created they begin their journey at their hub or place of origin, whether that’s London, New York, or Seoul will be determined by the character you have chosen. It seems as though London is the main hub in The Secret World and this is because it’s the ancient capitol. All the members of The Secret World from different hubs come to socialize, fight, and put on plays, and do a bit of exploring above the streets as well as below the streets.

The Secret World

Developer: Funcom
Release: TBA
Genre: RPG
Platform: X360/PC
Publisher: Funcom
Website: www.darkdaysarecoming.com

In The Secret World the three different cities are owned by the respective clans such as London is the Templars, New York is the Iluminati, and in Seoul you have the Dragons. Everyone passes through London (go figure) and before moving on in the game, you get summoned by the head of the Templars and visit with the liaison who in-turn tells you about your mission or objective. Now, all of the characters throughout the game at some point will return back to their hubs for training as well as learning more about the mechanics of the game and powers available to them.

As the Secret World moves forward you will also meet up with a person, before leaving the Templars hub, who will give you a slight glimpse of your future where you also get to experiment with different combat cells and get a feel for the game. Once you have visited with the Templars Liaison and learned about your mission, you need to choose powers. There are hundreds of different powers to choose from but you only get to choose 14, 7 passive and 7 active powers. These powers need to work together to make you more effective.

The Secret World doesn’t have levels or classes and works strictly on powers, and as stated before there are hundreds, the game really revolves around the players and how well they are able to play together to effectively move forward to bigger and better creatures to match your skills against. For the most part you have to master the skills you’re given, if you can’t master your skills you have to go back to your hub and receive more training and return to battle.

It seems as though each player will be able to utilize powers from other players to dominate the creatures in the game. The key is to work together in battle and once this is learned you can move forward. The Secret World release date has not been given but we are looking for this one to hit and hit real soon hopefully.

Homefront is a speculative fiction, first-person-shooter set in the year 2027, when the United States of America has collapsed economically, and north Korea has taken it over. The people who developed the game did lots of research, and found out that although history does repeat itself, if you look at all of the situations and combine everything it is extremely unlikely that any of this will ever happen. They did say however, that each step is plausible and a coin flip.

Homefront will be released in North America on March 15th, Australia on March 17th, Europe on March 18th, and in Japan on April the 29th of 2011. It will be released for Microsoft windows, xbox360 as well as PlayStation 3, and even be available on Steam, and the OnLive gaming service.

Homefront video game release date March 15, 2011

Get HomeFront!

Homefront Collector’s Edition: Prima Official Game Guide

Homefront has been banned from sales of any kind in South Korea, and in Japan, it has been censored to say”a certain northern country and the northern leader.” The reason for this censorship is because of the reference to a currently living North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il and his son, Kim Jong-un, as the Japanese-Asian company said that it would be malicious.

The single player aspects of the game will focus on playing the game through with more of a cinematic and character driven experience, allowing you to really become connected with the surroundings by familiar companies and brands. The multi player aspects will be much more intense with up to 32 players being able to play the game at once, and the gameplay is largely vehicle based, and you and your team have to gather up battle points. An in-game currency that will let you purchase things such as weapons and gear, on up to much larger items such as tanks and helicopters.

This sounds like it’s going to be a really fun game, and I would encourage all gamers to go and get themselves a copy. Homefront sounds like it has just the right kind of storyline to keep the players involved with the game and it also sounds like it has lots of re-playability which is very important with good video games.

You can also read the whole story with the book Homefront: The Voice of Freedom available on Amazon.

If you’re thinking that Darkspore is anything like the “Spore” game that was developed by Maxis in 2008, think again. Darkspore does share some similarities but don’t let that fool you, this is a completely different game. This game features action RPG gameplay, darker tones, and sci-fi themes, when it launches this month, Darkspore, looks like it will furnish a varied gameplay and an engaging experience for PC users.

Darkspore Gameplay Features

• All-new 3D graphics engine with stunning visual effects
• Collect Genetic Heroes from three character classes (Sentinel, Ravager, Tempest) and five Genesis types (Bio, Cyber, Plasma, Necro, Quantum)
• Hundreds of unique Genetic Hero abilities that can be combined in squads and co-op gameplay
• Unparalleled customization using the award-winning Creature Editor technology from Spore
• Unique alien planet levels with hundreds of Darkspore enemies, including player-created enemies, each with their own attacks and behaviors
• Innovative risk/reward campaign that lets players push their luck to earn better heroes and upgrades
• AI Director technology that provides deep replayability by dynamically altering the spawning, difficulty, and behaviors of NPC hordes, by distributing loot drops, and by controlling dynamic placement of destructible objects throughout each level
• Persist your collection online, and access it from the Darkspore.com web site

A crowd of highly advanced beings is what this story revolves around, that created all types of creatures and performed a number of experiments with DNA of all types. These beings, which are called the Crogenitors, let loose a demonic onslaught of monsters known as the Darkspore. Though this viscous race of monsters exterminated most of the Crogenitors who created them, a tiny group survived. The characters you play.

The job you have is to grab 3 of the survivors and together find and kill the Darkspore. Each of the survivors can have a different ability, and when starting out for the first time, you have to change them into creatures you like. You have five races to choose from: The race that focuses on robotic attacks are called “cyber”; The race that uses plantlike offenses are called “bio-creatures; The race that uses poisons are called “necro”; The “quantum creatures” do what’s called, time maneuvers; and while using lightning and fire in battles the “plasma creatures” are pretty tough.

Each character has a different class. Similar to other RPGs, When the game launches there will be a number of other class types, but the three main creatures will be categorized as mages and rogues. Depending on their class, while battling, characters can perform specific actions.

Pre Order Darkspore!

Customization is also possible on other creatures aside from the main three. Maxis, has said, the character editing tool in spore will play a large part in Darkspore. You can take different parts and turn your inner imagination loose to create creatures that are all different. This is awesome for sure, because gamers are going to spend a ton of time customizing characters.

Darkspore’s gameplay is similar to Diablo’s. The hack-n-slash, character stat level, and exploring, Darkspore looks as though it is developing the look and feel of some of the most popular games in the genre. There are plenty rewards from defeating enemies and special items to loot. You can use any items you earn to buy new battle gear, unlock new creatures, and collect valuable goods. If you want to put your earnings up front for challenging missions you can, if you lose it will leave you empty handed, although winning is a bigger payout.

It looks as though going through the game single player is not as much fun as being competitive and going cooperative multiplayer online. You can team up with others to play a different group or you can control a complete group and take on others online. Darkspore looks to be slower than other RPGs, but this game looks to be a bit more strategic, therefore they may have intentionally made it that way. In this game you aren’t under pressure to think quickly, Darkspore allows you to stage your attack patterns, whether you would rather flea the battle or take on a more defensive roll.

Playing with others gets better rewards but you can get special items in the games single player mode, collect some loot, get parts for your created characters, and still earn victories. With the modern looking gameplay, RPG gameplay, and customization options, Darkspore looks like it will be a very interesting play.

Excited for the release of Crysis 2? Yeah, me too. Crysis 2 release date is set on March 22, 2011. Through sneak-peeks provided by EA and Crytek, to the predictable leaks spreading across the web like wildfire, we’re able to get a pretty good look at what the game’s going to look like. The consensus? Pretty. Freaking. Awesome.

Crysis 2 Features:

• New York New York – Crysis set the visual benchmark for PC games that still stands today. Crysis 2 redefines the benchmark on console and PC platforms, shifting their attention to the rich urban jungle of New York City.
• Amazing Aliens and AI – Challenging best-in-class AI with unique group coordination and group behavior systems which give realistic responses to your actions.
• Nanosuit 2 – Adapt your combat tactics by customizing your Nanosuit and weapons in real time with revised modes, unlocking a variety of supersoldier abilities.
• Multiplayer* – World-renowned multi-player shooter studio Crytek UK reinvents multiplayer with the dynamic intensity of Nanosuit 2. By using Nanosuit technology the player has nearly unlimited ways to approach the dynamic combat environment. 1-12 players are supported online.

Crysis 2 System Requirements For Pc:

• Disk Drive DVD ROM: 8x
• Hard Drive Space 9 GB
• Operating System XP/Vista/Windows 7
• Processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz or better
• RAM 2 GB
• Video Card NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512Mb RAM or better

Crysis 2 Screenshot

Crysis 2 takes the battle between alien invaders and humans sporting the “combat enhancement technology of the future,” the Nanosuit from the jungle to an urban setting – the middle of New York, New York. The game will be available for three platforms – PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, and features 2D and true stereoscopic 3D for those equipped to deal with it.

The urban setting and the strong emphasis on vertical gameplay is what excites me the most. Think about what a paradigm shift you had to undergo when you first played Descent – trying to stay aware of enemies and events happening above, below, in front of, and behind you all at once. It’s looking like Crysis 2 is going to make some of the best use of this sort of hyper-awareness of any game in recent memory. Nanosuit-bedecked players will be able to leap from level to level in the game, moving the battle from street to the ruined hulks of buildings to the rooftops at phenomenal speeds. Awesome. They also added a ledge-grab move. I’m a sucker for a good ledge-grab, from the original Prince of Persia game and the NES Batman game on through the Tomb Raider series – ledge-grabs are fun. I hope the play control makes them easy to do.

Another selling point that Crytek is waving their arms about is the AI, they claim to have created a new, superior AI engine that allows the aliens not only to learn from your game-play style, but also to strategize and work together in groups – picture velociraptors on crack… and also that can fly and shoot at you. Okay – nothing like velociraptors, but I digress.

Let me be honest, here – movies and games set in a post-apocalyptic major city like New York always make my socks roll up and down. I don’t know what it is, but I freaking LOVE them (except 2012, which sucks dirty socks). One minor feature that I’d like to see, but haven’t really got a good handle on yet from the leaks and peeks is the ability to FURTHER destroy the city on your own. Does the ongoing battle with the alien scourge continue to create wreckage as you play? Can you shoot out or punch through walls? Shatter windows? I may be a vandal at heart, but these features would add some fun and realism from my point of view, and I hope the game designers have thought of it.

Finally, it seems that these days, no game is complete without multi-player functionality. Crysis 2, its makers claim, has smooth, flawless multiplayer action as good as or better than any on the market. Whether it’s gonna be lag-heavy and difficult may depend as much on your connection and platform as anything else, but as I get older and drift away from friends, multi-player games are an excuse to spend “quality time,” to I really hope multiplayer Crysis 2 pans out.

One of the most interesting additions to a game in the post online area is Call of Duty Black Ops’ offline combat training bot mode. Though, I’ve always felt the need for some sort of bot mode to return in today’s first person shooters, and this offline mode promises to help shake off the cobwebs before hopping online. Combat Training can be tackled either solo or with friends, making for an interesting offline experience.

Furthermore, Call of Duty Black Ops introduces customizable weapons into the fray. Players can now adorn their weapons of war with custom made emblems and images, as well as make custom targeting reticules like smiley faces that add personality to your weapon. Images can be edited, rotated, and scaled to fit onto weapons.

The Call of Duty series is well known for Modern Warfare’s introduction of kill streaks (rewarding weapons/perks for killing a certain number of people in a row). Call of Duty Black Ops is no different, offering several new kill streaks such as: Death Machine (a chain gun), Grim Reaper (a missile launcher), napalm strike, RC-XD (a remote controller car loaded with death), gunship, mortars, and a SAM turret for taking down pesky gunships.

Another Call of Duty Black Ops exclusive is the new wager mode. Wager mode is a mode with several game types that allow players to gamble their CP (Call of Duty Points).

One in the Chamber is among these game types in wager mode. In this mode you start off packing a pistol with one bullet, your handy combat knife, and three lives. The premise is simple – kill and earn a bullet, miss and lose a bullet.

The next game type is Sticks and Stones. This starts players off with a crossbow, ballistic knife, and a tomahawk (yes, tomahawk). Killing a player with the tomahawk actually causes them to lose all of their money.

In Gun Game, all players spawn starting with a pistol. For every kill they rack up, a better weapon is awarded. The first player to cycle through all of the weapons wins the game, while a knife kill sets you back one level.

Sharp Shooter starts the players with all of the same weapons selected at random. Throughout the match the weapons continue to randomly cycle, but everyone has the same type of weapon at all times.

With these new mulitplayer modes, Call of Duty Black Ops is looking to improve on an already great system. How well these new modes, kill streaks, and game types are received will be revealed on November 9th! Pre-order Call of Duty Black Ops here.

The multiplayer aspect of Call of Duty is the meat of the series. This is where gamers’ satisfaction is met for weeks, months, even years after launch, and Call Of Duty Black Ops aims for the head in this area. Not to mention it is armed to the teeth in new modes, challenges and game types.

Similar to Halo Reach, Call Of Duty Black Ops integrates a new credit system with good ol’ fashioned leveling up in order to purchase new weapons and customize player looks. Also, taking another cue from Halo, Call Of Duty Black Ops pulls the curtain back on a long sought after theater mode. Now you can immortalize your epic kill streaks in your own John Woo inspired recordings of previous matches. Furthermore, just like Halo’s daily challenges, Call Of Duty Black Ops provides “contracts” for you to buy and attempt. Completing contracts such as “three SMG kills without dying in less than 40 minutes of game time” will yield a bountiful reward of COD points.

Similar to the classic GoldenEye’s “License to Kill” mode on the N64 is the Black Ops take “One in the Chamber”. This mode, just as the name suggests, offers one bullet per person – all it takes to kill the next player. Succeed and you are awarded another round, but miss and you are penalized by becoming weapon-less and forced to rely on melee attacks!

With these new additions, Treyarch is seeking to add more depth to what is already one of the most addictive franchises on the market. We can only imagine how many hours of our lives will be lost to these promising new features in Call Of Duty Black Ops

Call Of Duty Black Ops will be released on November 9, 2010 for xbox 360, PS3, PC, Ninteno DS.
