These Grand Theft Auto V screenshots are strictly business

Posted on August 24, 2012 by John Scalzo

Rockstar Games has decided to close out the week with a final batch of of Grand Theft Auto V screenshots. Today’s theme is “Business” and Rockstar is clearly taking care of it as they give us new images featuring two high-speed police chases, a biplane getaway, and a helicopter sniper taking out a thug. You can peep all four screenshots after the break.

Rockstar has promised that more screens will be released “in a few weeks” and in case you missed this week’s other new GTA5 screenshots, we’ve got you covered: “Leisure” and “Transport.” (more…)

ResidentEvil.net features trailer released as RE6 goes gold

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Resident Evil 6 has gone gold, and Capcom has released a trailer for the new ResidentEvil.net service that they showed at last week’s Gamescom. RE.net is a free online service that is aimed to extend the playability of the game through site unlockables, events online, stat tracking, and some kind of WWE-themed gold belt that you can get for winning matches. Check out the trailer above for full details.

Resident Evil 6 will be out on October 2 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Microsoft announces new price for Kinect sensor in US

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Andrew Rainnie

Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360 Kinect sensor will now be available for the permanently reduced price of $109.99 in the US. The peripheral previously sold for $149.99. Latin America and Asia will also see a similar reduction, while Australia and New Zealand will have to wait until October 4th to receive their Kinect price drop.

The company, rather bizarelly, has decided to shun gamers in Japan and Europe by not offering them a similar price reduction. The announcement was presumably made to gear up the Kinect sensor for a Christmas war with Nintendo’s new Wii U system. But seeing as the price is just $10 shy of the magical $99, which the Kinect was available for at most retailers last holiday season, it seems like Microsoft missed their chance at causing a stir.

Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 Review: Welcome Back Tycho and Gabe

Posted on August 21, 2012 by John Scalzo

Someday, songs will be written about the development of Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3. In the nearly four years since the release of Episode Two, the third game in Penny Arcade’s episodic RPG series underwent both a developer and art-style change in its journey to a download service near you. Gone are the Gabe-inspired character designs and modern graphics of the previous episodes. In their place are the 16-bit stylings of Zeboyd Games and a part three that, at times, feels like both a brand new game and a continuation of the adventure thus far. (more…)
