So instead of Charon being the ferryman, he is the ferry. Lovely. I also see that instead of Eyes and feathers you get to collect Pieces of Silver. I wonder if they are going to wrap your arm in the shroud of turin to let you deflect the magic attacks we know are coming. Maybe they give you the magical hammer of John the Baptist, the Baptizer, or a long Spear of Longinus.

What kind of game is it?

A modern day beat 'em up. A hack 'n slash. Have you played God of War? You have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Dante's Inferno. Dead Space developer Visceral Games have lifted the best elements of God of War's combat and tossed it into a journey through Hell that's based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's three-part epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Dante must travel through the nine circles of Hell to save his princess from none other than Lucifer.

Who's the developer?

Visceral Games, formerly known as EA Redwood Shores, is same studio within Electronic Arts that developed Dead Space. It's not the same team (they're working on Dead Space 2), but you can definitely tell it's from the same thinktank. They also worked on the internally developed the Wii spin-off, Dead Space: Extraction, both The Godfather games and The Simpsons Game.

Even though baseball is labeled as a team sport, any good fan knows how easily a game can come down to the dramatic interaction between a great pitcher or hitter. The sports equivalent of a duel. This special installment of the MLB 2K10 Hitters vs. Pitchers series focuses on the retooled hitting and pitching mechanics in the game.

New Xbox 360 Games On Demand -- Burnout Paradise, NFS ProStreet

Electronic Arts and Criterion Games keep teasing about what the Burnout developer has planned for their reinvention of Need For Speed. But we have a slightly better idea of what's coming.

John Schappert, who left EA to join Microsoft before returning to EA last year as COO, described the upcoming collaboration as an "action-based Need For Speed." Schappert's brief comment came during a conference call today discussing the publisher's most recent financial results.

Unfortunately, that's all he said. Something to think about, though.

One thing I did notice is that Need For Speed Most Wanted was directed by a man name Scott Henshaw, so I IMDB'd his name and he's credited for directing EA games like NFS Most Wanted, Skate, SSX, SSX Tricky and SSX3, as well as Def Jam Vendeta and Fight For NY (that's a 7 for 7 record of making good games); I say get his ass to direct the next NFS game and EA can bring the series back to its former glory.

Electronic ArtsElectronic Arts revealed a heaping pile of not-terribly specific information today regarding its stable of 2010 release today in their third quarter fiscal year 2010 report.

Among the upcoming titles listed in the report is a new shooter from Gears of War developer Epic Games scheduled for release in Q4. The report says EA will co-publish the game, suggesting that the game itself might not actually be developed by Epic, but rather by one of Epic’s own studios.

EA also confirmed the existence of a new Dragon Age game for Q4 as well. There is also mention of the Sims 3 coming to consoles, a new Sims games, and a new Spore game.

In addition, EA Sports Active will be getting two new titles, as will the Need for Speed series. There will also be a downloadable “Action Title” for consoles coming out at the end of the year, as well as a new fighting game.

We’re going to try and get to the bottom of these mystery titles immediately, and as soon as we find out more, we’ll let you know.

But otherwise, yeah, lineup looks terrific.

I'm liking the Dragon Age prospect.

What kind of game is it?

BioShock 2 is the sequel to the brilliant 2007 first-person shooter BioShock. While the original balanced horror and combat, action takes a more dominant role in the follow-up. You still might want to keep a clean pair of pants around though just to be safe.

Who's the developer?

2K Marin cut their teeth porting the original BioShock, which was developed by Irrational Games (formerly 2K Boston), to the PlayStation 3 back in 2008. BioShock 2 is the studio’s first original game since being founded in 2007.

Prepare To Enter The Wasteland Again -- First Fallout: New Vegas Details When Bethesda Softworks released the first trailer for the Obsidian Entertainment-developed Fallout: New Vegas, there were promises of more details from various magazine covers.

Those promises are coming true, as Fallout fan community Duck and Cover has started poring through the magazines passing on the first details on Fallout: New Vegas. The big takeaways?

You are not playing as a Vault Dweller, but you do run into someone who is, so you're eventually given access to the ever-useful Pip-Boy. The central storyline depicts the struggles between New California Republic vs. Caesar's Legion vs. New Vegas residents. The New Vegas residents are in a good place, too, since Las Vegas was largely untouched by the nuclear war.

Fallout: New Vegas will pander to the hardcore crowd, too. Literally. Fallout: New Vegas includes a "hardcore" mode where characters will be required to drink water to stay alive, ammo will have weight that needs to be managed, healing isn't an instant process and other details that will force players to pay much closer attention to detail in order to stay alive.

By and large, the engine driving the game is pretty much the same. If you played Fallout 3, you're going to be able to jump into Fallout: New Vegas without much issue. VATS has seen some improvements, however, including melee weapons with specialized attacks.

The dialogue system is also getting additional layers of complexity (an Obsidian strong-suit), with a brand-new "Reputation" system that sits alongside the already existing Karma.

More details are being added all the time to this thread on Duck and Cover. Hopefully, the deluge of information means we're going to be seeing much more of Fallout: New Vegas.

Provided the game isn't buggy as hell. I was glad to see that last trophy come up so I could delete Fallout 3 and be done with it. Which is a shame really since it's such a good game.

PixelJunk Shooter

Q Games tends to move from one project to the next and while the Japanese-based studio is already hard at work at something not called PixelJunk Shooter, Q Games founder Dylan Cuthbert recently told me he's excited to work on something before that: PixelJunk Shooter 2.

"Normally sequels are just a re-hashing of the ideas in the original," said Cuthbert, "but for PixelJunk Shooter we still have a ton of ideas on the drawing board and the engine has lots of potential we want to use before moving onto our next idea. It would be a waste not to use it to try out more stuff."

As for what those other ideas are? As you might expect, Cuthbert was less forthcoming. He did confirm there were no vehicle suits cut from the game, so all of those would be based on what the studio learned from developing PixelJunk Shooter and gauging reaction from players.

"We managed to put in all the ship 'suits' that we thought up this time around," he explained, "but there will be a number of new suits to make use of some of the brand new ideas for fluid gimmicks you may or may not see sometime soon."

Cuthbert was talking about PixelJunk Shooter 2 before PixelJunk Shooter was even released, so it's clear he's anxious to move forward immediately. If I learn more, I'll be sure to pass it on.

I really enjoyed Shooter (although I never liked it's generic title), but I can't help but feel like there was something missing in that game. It really didn't give me that sense of satisfaction that Monsters and Eden game me. I'd rather they just come up with a brand new game concept, although I'll gladly support whatever they come up with next. They deserve our support.

New Madden 10 Screens Released

I'm sure you're aware that Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints squashed the Indianapolis Colts yesterday in the Superbowl, and took the victor's trophy and rings back home to Louisiana where they belong.

It was an upset victory. Pre game, The Colts were heavy favorites, with New Orleans viewed as sentimental underdogs at best. Bookies were putting the spread at Colts +4.5, but gamers knew better. Both Madden NFL 10's careful, labored-over prediction engine and TheFeed meaningless tea-leaf reading predicted a Saints victory. Check out the Madden prediction in the video below:

Madden NFL 10 Superbowl Prediction XLIV »


Madden predicted a final score of Saints 35, Colts 31. The vid game came close to the Saints' final tally, but when it comes to the Colts, Madden missed the choke factor: No one at the EA team seems to have programmed in the fact that Peyton Manning chokes like a toddler in a room full of marshmallows when the pressure's on.

You don't deserve things just because your city went through some horrible ordeal...YOU EARN IT!! Just like everyone else, this superbowl was handed to you guys by an INT and an onside kick. Brett Favre might be old but he still palys better then 90% of the QB's in the league so SHUT IT!! But congrats to the Saints it's some good news for your troubled city.

Bad Company 2 Features A World War II Level

[Update: 12:26 PM]: EA just confirmed to me that while there is in fact a WWII level in the game, "we're not discussing any details about it right now." Kind of saw that one coming.

The ESRB has once again revealed some rather intriguing information on a high profile game by way of their always informative rating summaries. This time, the game in question is DICE’s upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and the noteworthy piece of info is that the game actually features a section that takes place in World War II.

As the ESRB notes, "In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts, and snowy terrain."

From the sound of it, the game opens in the past, perhaps establishing either a character or plot connection with the modern-day battling that serves as the basis for the rest of the game. I contacted EA to see what they might be willing to reveal about the section/sections, so I'll let you know if hear anything.

I must have really struck a nerve with you because you are babbling like a toothless meth-head. LOL.
There is the option to change the control schemes for everything back to BC1 controls in the options menu. I am sorry I don't have crayons to draw you up a nice little diagram to show you how to do this.
Spouting false information is not the same as giving an opinion. Please learn the difference.

It's no secret that 505 Games' Backbreaker is a modern day example of David and Goliath; with Goliath being the monopolistic Madden franchise. What on earth could they have up their sleeves that will draw hardcore Madden gamers away from their beloved franchise? Answer: Non-scripted/sequential, Euphoria Engine animations, a unique third-person camera and more.

Watch the dev team at NaturalMotion present to you their ambitious efforts to revolutionize American video game football.

you can block execution kills if it comes from the front and if you spam block, but that doesn't work all the time

Countering is easy, block a light attack then follow up with a light attack=counter
