Wow. Just wow. This game looks better and better with each trailer. I’m amazed this is a PSP game and not a PS2 game. The power of the PSP really is much greater than what we originally thought. At first I was disappointed that the game Kojima was calling MGS5 was going to be on the PSP, but I see the potential here. The game is coming out in late May in the West exclusively for the PSP. Looks to be another great adventure with Big Boss.

Crackdown fans rejoice! Word is coming out today that Microsoft plans to release Crackdown 2 in early July. To be more specific it will hit America on July 6th, Asia/Australia/New Zealand on July 8th, and Europe at a later date.

The open-world, orb collecting follow-up to the successful 2007 original is looking to be a much better product than its predecessor. Though it will be interesting to see if the product can stand on its own two feet, and not have to be supported by the inclusion of the Halo 3 beta.

It is nice to start seeing publishers putting out games like this in the Summer. Maybe developers have learned that gaming is a year-round hobby.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge brings the dark ages back to our gaming platforms in the form of a beautifully rendered Unreal Engine 3, action adventure that allows for melee and cover based tactics. The game looks to change up the norm, when talking about the hack n’ slash genre. This is the first I’ve heard of this title being produced by inXile Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. You can be I’ll be keeping my ear to the net for more information.

The press release offers you a more detailed background on many aspects of the game which include but not limited to Co-Op play, magic spells and a unique cover system which allows for tactical advantages while having the ability to use bows and magic for distanced attacks. Hit up the break for the entire presser and screens.

I can’t believe I let this get by me, I’m a huge Arcade Final Fight fan. I remember dumping a ton of quarters in the arcades till I beat the game. Final Fight has been ported to other home consoles but never really captured the true arcade feel or graphics. Today with our home consoles able to pump out just about any arcade game ever created and with the ability to click and download, we finally get the true console port of the classic Final Fight Arcade game. More information on the second game that you’ll get bundled with Final Fight after the break.

I’ll admit that when I first got this game I was skeptical. It looked liked a Mario Kart knockoff with SEGA characters, and a way for them to make a quick buck. Surprisingly, I was very wrong about this game and the amount of fun I had with it.

Announcement via News letter from Crytek. Being a big time computer games player, can’t wait to see what’ll be possible on the consoles using this new high end engine.

I’ve seen many videos show casing the CryEngine on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 but nothing on a console running in real time, not just watching a compressed video online. The truth will only be realized (to me) when I get to play a game on a console while running the engine.

With very high hopes for Crytek and this new engine, I personally feel like the Unreal Engine 3 is starting to look dated and to be quite honest, not all of the games that use the UE3  look that great. Here’s a quote from Xaviant LLC:

“Our strategy at Xaviant is to build games that can only come from the minds of gamers, which means we have to focus on our core discipline: game design. When we partnered with Crytek, we had high expectations for their product. However we had not anticipated the extent to which they exceeded those expectations. The rapid iteration and the number of tools we get ‘out of the box’ are remarkable. In just six short weeks we were able to create a ‘proof of concept’ demo with an incredibly high level of detail. And with the immense help of Crytek’s expert support, we even met the truly tough GDC deadline. In my opinion, anyone serious about making a game should check out CryEngine.” states Michael McMain, CEO of Xaviant LLC.

Hit up the break for the press release.
