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.

Your typical unboxing video usually features a nifty special edition packed with goodies. But BioWare chose to go a different route with their Mass Effect 3 unboxing, focusing on the standard edition instead. But towards the end they reveal a goodie nonetheless: a reversible cover featuring FemShep!

Daily Scoop: February 23, 2012 – That Borderlands 2 trailer song

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Nicole Kline

If you’re anything like me, you’ve watched that awesome Borderlands 2 trailer half a dozen times already, wishing you knew whose song was playing in the background. Well, good news: my amazing boyfriend gave me the answer! The artist is Nero and the song is called “Doomsday.” I mean, I know a lot of people are loving or hating on dubstep right now, but I’m really digging this song. And that title is pretty fitting for the trailer…

What are the big deals today? Well, to start, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Atlus’ The King of Fighters XIII. It’s on sale for $39.99 on both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Amazon’s also got a lot of other deals going on right now as well, all of them PC downloads:

Gotham City Impostors Review: The Heroes Who Need An Introduction

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Ryan Littlefield

A fear of clowns seems like an irrational fear to some people. But it makes total sense after witnessing the destruction and mayhem caused by Joker-wannabes in Gotham City Impostors. A simple premise makes up the background of the game – people of Gotham City have taken advantage of Batman’s absence (presumably while he’s in Arkham City) and have decided to band together as Joker imposters in order to commit consequence-free crime. Well, Batman wouldn’t let the Joker himself get away with it, so naturally, every Joker has his Batman – or a squad of rookie Batmen, in this case. Rising to the call of duty, these clumsy, self-proclaimed vigilantes have decided to band together and undo the terrible deeds that the arbitrary, irrational Jokerz have committed. This is where Gotham City Impostors is born. (more…)

They’ll be located in the Konami Booth in the Career Pavilion, #1914.

But the big news might just be that the next Metal Gear Solid will be available for “high-end consoles and PC.” Say goodnight, PS3 exclusivity.

Borderlands 2 trailer, “Doomsday,” dates the game, rips your face off

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Nicole Kline

I don’t often say this, and I don’t usually put much stock in trailers, but damn. I’ve got goosebumps after watching that trailer. I nearly joypuked at my desk. I’m so looking forward to Salvador, Maya, Axton, and, uh, Zero the invisible ninja. This trailer is bigger than life. There’s still going to be four-player co-op, you can catch a new ride (come on get you one!), and there will be more skills – “for the payment of bigger bills.” There’s also a brand new baddie, a tyrant named Handsome Jack, who seems to have some sort of Death Star device. It’s no joke that “we’re gonna need a lotta guns.”

Borderlands 2 will be out on September 18 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. I don’t know about you, but I’m so ready to get back to Pandora.
