Mass Effect universe expanding with more comics later this year

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

If you enjoyed last year’s run of Dark Horse’s adaptation on Bioware’s Mass Effect series, or their work to recap the original game on the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 (which we thought worked), you’re getting more crossover goodness in 2011. On a panel last Friday about Video Game Comics, Dark Horse representative Jeremy Atkins revealed that a new series is indeed in the works, due out later this year. They also confirmed that a comic series for Star Wars: The Old Republic is in the works, and writers from Bioware will be the ones penning the story.

The increasingly popular journey from video games to comics has been a rough one in the last few years, but from what I’ve gathered the Mass Effect crossover was a nice exception to the disappointing rule. Hopefully we won’t be let down and the new comics will pleasantly supplement the universe, along with Mass Effect 3 when it hits PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 this holiday season.

Sienna Guillory returning for fifth Resident Evil film

Posted on March 22, 2011 by John Scalzo

When we last saw Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine, she was leading an Umbrella assault team against Alice, the Redfield siblings and the rest of the main characters of the Resident Evil movieverse. To be fair, she was being brainwashed by the big spider that’s sucking on her chest in the picture above.

According to an update on the actresses’ Twitter account, it looks like she’ll be returning for the currently unnamed fifth film:

RE:5 alert! Training begins! I aim to mostly put less in the big hole on the front of my face than comes out of the little one on my arse.

Our heroes looked fairly screwed at the end of Resident Evil: Afterlife, so I’m mildly curious to see how they’ll survive to have a fifth adventure together.

Stacking DLC coming early next month

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Stacking is one of our favorite digital titles to have kicked off 2011, so we’re understandably delighted to learn that the game will be getting a DLC add-on entitled The Lost Hobo King. This episode sees Charlie helping his artistically-inclined hobo friend Levi and his Uncle Rufus find the fragmented pieces of the lost crown so that Rufus may ascend to the throne of Hobo. The all new environment and story come with new challenges, hi-jinks, over fifteen new dolls, and trophies/achievements. No word on pricing or specific dating, but the pack will come to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in early April.

That’s pretty soon, so if you haven’t checked out Stacking yet, be sure to get the demo or read our review linked above.

Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers are top seeds in Madden NFL 12 bracket

Posted on March 21, 2011 by John Scalzo

It’s 4 PM and, as promised, EA Sports and ESPN have unveiled the bracket for the Madden NFL 12 Cover Vote. You can vote for the winners of the 16 initial matchups now at ESPN.com or fill out your own bracket using the Madden NFL Bracket Facebook bracket.

The five-week long tournament will choose the Madden NFL 12 curse victim cover athlete on April 27 with a new round commencing every week. Each team is represented in the bracket and the #1 seeds went to Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) and Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers). However, some of the choices are just baffling:

The Denver Broncos selection is Tim Tebow, who spent most of the season as the third-string quarterback. Tom Brady and Wes Welker of the New England Patriots were passed over for running back Danny Woodhead. No player from the Seattle Seahawks was deemed worthy with EA choosing The 12th Man instead.

You can click on the bracket to get a larger picture of the matchups and remember to vote early and vote daily for your favorites.

PixelJunk Shooter 2 Review: Delve Deeper with this Sequel

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Nicole Kline

PixelJunk Shooter 2 is the latest downloadable PlayStation Network game from Q-Games. This multidirectional shooter is a sequel to the first game, which was one of my favorites of 2009. Shooter 2 was promising, touting new game mechanics and a continuation of the simple storyline they’d started in the first game. But could it live up to the long wait, and fill the shoes as the first official PixelJunk sequel? (more…)
