Umm, there's a new video for the Halo: Reach beta that I just stumbled across. I hope I'm not late on this, but it showcases a few things that will be included in the Halo: Reach beta (and final game hopefully as well). To mention some of the items that were listed, it looks like some of the newly added features are:

• Loadouts
• Jetpacks
• Assassinations
• "Invasion" mode
• "Headhunter" mode
• "Spartans vs. Elites" battles
• "The Arena" mode

I doubt anyone actually read this far, because let's be honest, there's a Halo video above all of this text.What's sad to me is that I feel like this game looks like a sequel to the original 'Tribes' title from about 12 years ago on the PC. (Not the crappy games that game out about 7 years ago...).

While you may not always think that Rockstar likes to throw some love at the ladies, the new 'Red Dead Redemption' trailer that was released earlier today tries to show us otherwise. The video, titled "The Women: Sinners, Saints, and Survivors" shows that Rockstar will be including women in the narrative pretty heavily this time around. Any thoughts?

Old News: Red Dead Redemption will launch on April 27th in the U.S..

As you know, I love to pump Bayonetta propaganda onto the site because I'm pretty excited for the game. So excited, in fact, that I recently pre-ordered the Climax Edition (image) of the game from New Zealand. Cross your fingers for me in hopes that I actually get it within a week of release.

This new video focuses (briefly) on the "Witch Time" aspect of the game, which is activated by dodging an enemy attack at just the right moment. Here's your video, I'm all done with my "jibber-jabber."

Here it is, a squid in the water after you stand still for a minute or so in the last room of Santa Maria Delle Visitazione. I'm sorry, I just didn't find this all that interesting, but to each his own.

Anyway, here's the newest video in the ongoing series. This one focuses on the transformations that Bayonetta is capable of: Panther, Butterfly, Bird of Prey (Raven maybe?), and a flock of Bats. Honestly, I didn't even get to play with any of these transformations during the Japanese demo from a while back, but the game was awesome even without them, so I will just assume that the transformations make it even more awesome than I first expected. Sorry to waste your time with senseless reading...here's your video:

We were going to get "The Saboteur" and then possibly this little thing. Now this looks like a multiplayer only game, but it actually looks like it was coming along pretty nicely. Dorian posted this to his website Loyalty/Division on November 18th, or, the day after we officially found out that Pandemic was closing. It was recently found by superannuation, and is still up on Vimeo, so I've embedded the video below. Maybe if we demand it enough the project won't be totally brushed aside...oh wait, it's an EA game isn't it...crap.

According to his Linkedin page, Dorian Compo is a VFX artist (formerly of Pandemic), so his comment about the effects makes sense:

This was the first demo for Mercenaries Incorporated. Pandemic Studios next multiplayer sandbox game. To [sic] bad it was cancelled because the effects were coming along.

I hope you all enjoy the video, since that is likely all we will see for this title...

Update here: Mercs Inc. is Officially Still On

 

There is almost nothing cooler than Office Space. I am one of the few people who actually saw the film in the theater and loved it, then preached about how awesome it was for 2 years, when everyone finally caught on. Well a few of the folks at Pandemic decided to recreate a printer-breaking scene, which pretty much means that they are pretty cool.

So here it is, the short that they put together so that we would know how cool they were before they disappeared forever. On a side note, they left us a game too (that just went gold by the way) to prove their awesomeness. Here's to hoping that "The Saboteur" is freakin' sweet!

This is a rumor that we are calling fact because we really feel like based on the information WE have, we can. While there is no detailed information in this video whatsoever, I've researched and found an old article from EGM, back when the used to have "Quartermann" get rumors. We had to go all the way back to May of 2008 to see this info, but here's the word.

TheSpec Ops series from 2K will also be getting rebooted with a Middle Eastern twist, as the game will take place in Dubai.

Quartermann usually had a pretty good nose on these things, and while it's been more than a year and there has been no reboot to date, I'm sure the economy and the fact that there are other titles running around now that are similar doesn't really helped get this title on store shelves. So while Kotaku had the video first we are calling this as a brand new title in the Spec Ops franchise.

Here's the video teaser:

(video announce via Kotaku, old EGM story via filefront)

Damn, it's a good thing the camera was running when it was...because this is just incredible. First we had Halo 3 Plasma grenades, and I figured we'd get sticky grenade craziness from Mondern Warfare 2, but instead we have...

Throwing knife craziness! This is seriously insane! I had to create a new tag for this type of video - "WTF?"

And all shall be explained in the video below. I will warn you, there is one spot in this video where you may cringe a little bit, but nothing terrible happens - OH! and there's some bad language. Have fun though, I laughed my ass off...

Wow, I never thought I'd see The Onion breaking a story! On my casual visit over to their site just a few minutes ago I found this awesomeness.
