Guild Wars 2 beta signups gone wild

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Melissa Niedringhaus

In an effort to keep gamers from ever seeing their friends or family again, NCSoft and ArenaNet opened the signups for the Guild Wars 2 closed beta on February 22nd for a mere 48 hours. In that short time, they received over one million signup requests.

For those of you that missed out, the next closed beta is scheduled for sometime in late March, and will provide you the opportunity to experience Guild Wars 2’s RPG elements, World vs. World battles and social gameplay before any of the slow pokes who can’t click the signup button fast enough.

If you want to see what all the hubbub is about, check out the official Guild Wars 2 website for more information!

RE: Operation Raccoon City brutalizes the PC on May 18; new trailer released

Posted on February 24, 2012 by John Scalzo

According to Capcom, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be absolutely brutal. And if this new trailer is anything to go by, they’re right. Allow me to channel my inner Joe Bob Briggs for a second here as I catalog all the carnage…

We’ve got exploding zombies, flaming zombies, stabbed zombies, headshots, kneeshots, throat slashes, ninja-fu, bra-fu, and kicking-a-mutant-in-the-balls-fu. If Joe Bob Briggs were still on the air, I’m sure he’d say “Check it out!”

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 20 with a PC version to follow on May 18.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter revealed ahead of GDC

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Rumor was that the sequel to 2010’s Medal of Honor would be revealed at the Game Developers Conference. Today, Medal of Honor: Warfighter was announced as Official Xbox Magazine’s April cover.

According to Game Informer, the game – both campaign and multiplayer – will be developed by Danger Close using the Frostbite 2.0 engine, and will be released this October. DICE will not be involved in the multiplayer this time around.

I’m a little bummed DICE won’t be involved, but I’m eager to see what Danger Close can do with an entire game under their control. I’m also surprised to see the game being revealed in OXM, seeing as Sony had the sweet deal with EA before (with Medal of Honor: Frontline included in copies of Medal of Honor).

Either way, I know I’m eager to see more, which will hopefully happen in just a few short weeks at GDC.
