Super Street Fighter IV’s Seth “even cheaper” than before
We already know that Super Street Fighter IV is on its way but we don’t know much about the game’s story line. Today, Capcom’s Seth Killian sat down with Kotaku to speak about the game’s final boss; Seth.
If you’re played Street Fighter IV on the harder difficulties you’ll know that Seth is no walk in the park, utilizing just about every cheap move in the book. Well, according to Mr. Killian, the Seth in Super Street Fighter IV “will be even cheaper and more irritating”.
Luckily, all of the new characters will be unlocked out of the box so you won’t be fighting Seth over and over again like in the previous title.
Leaked Halo 3: ODST campaign footage
Now we’re not sure how long the above video is going to be around for so if you’re looking to get in on the action, you better do it fast. But anyways, included in said video is over 8 minutes of leaked Halo 3: ODST footage. Of course, being campaign footage there will be a ton of spoilers so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
As for the rest of us who don’t like spoilers, well, we’re just going to have to wait until September 22nd when the game is officially released.
Concept art of new Tomb Raider game leaks out
What you see above is a supposedly leaked concept art image of a new Tomb Raider game that is in the works. Furthermore, the image was accompained by a few details of the game.
Reportedly, the next Tomb Raider game will feature open-world gameplay with a reworked combat system. And, a hint at the game’s plot lets us know that it will be an origin story of Lara Croft showcasing how she came to be.
I don’t know about you guys, but the image art shows a close resemblance to that of what would be featured in a Final Fantasy game. It would make sense considering Tomb Raider’s developer, Eidos, was bought out by Final Fantasy’s Square Enix.

Dante’s Inferno gameplay caught on film, looks awesome
Sure, God of War III won’t be making its way onto the Xbox 360 but who cares? Dante’s Inferno is!
Honestly though, if the above video is anything to go by, Dante’s Inferno is looking to give God of War III a run for its money. Said video contains never before seen gameplay from Dante’s Inferno which was developed by the guys behind Dead Space, Visceral Studios.
Unfortunately for us, Dante’s Inferno won’t hit the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC until January of next year.
Modern Warfare 2 gameplay footage
Dead Rising 2 Details
With every video game company releasing gobs and gobs of information at E3 there’s dozens of games to look at, but one title that has hardcore gamers excited is Dead Rising 2. The original had a compelling storyline that offered a lot of challenge balanced by a lot of fun using anything and everything on hand to dispatch hordes of slavering undead. We already knew that despite Frank West’s heroic attempts to stop the impending zombie apocalypse the outbreak wasn’t contained to the Midwestern town, with continued outbreaks of zombies across the USA.
One of the outbreaks strikes in Fortune City, essentially a fictionalized version of Las Vegas. The protagonist is Chuck Greene, former Motocross champion and single father who dotes on his daughter Katey. Since her mother is dead, this is likely to be the main plot hook of the game, with Greene working his way through the city in an attempt to rescue his daughter and then help her escape.
As before you’ll be utilizing anything and everything to slaughter your way through hordes of zombies, hordes that promise to be even greater than the original due to upgrades in the engine that’ll allow huge numbers of undead to be on the screen with very little frame drop.
First HD look at Uncharted 2
The Uncharted series is one of those series that makes the PS3 what it is, you know, like Uncharted is to the PS3 as Halo is to the Xbox 360. Okay, not really, but you get the point.
Anyways, Naughty Dog has just released the above video giving us the first look at what the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves singleplayer gameplay will look like. The visuals are absolutely stunning not to mention the ingame physics but take a look at the video and see for yourself.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is currently slated for a Fall 2009 release as a Playstation 3 exclusive.
BioShock 2 gameplay footage caught on film
BioShock 2 is set to release sometime in Q4 of 2009 so it only makes sense that the game’s developers, 2K Marin, release some gameplay footage, right?
Well that’s exactly what they did, they’ve released the above footage of some BioShock 2 footage along with one of the game’s developers talking it over. The film is entitled Hunting the Big Sister and shows how the player will be able to take control of a “Big Daddy”, a feature absent from the first game.
If I got anything out of watching “Hunting the Big Sister” it’s that BioShock 2 is going to kick some major ass.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen gameplay trailer
If you’ve always wanted to cause all sorts of chaos as giant robots, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen may be your ideal game.
Featured in the above trailer recently released by Activision is real gameplay that will be featured in the upcoming title.
What’s truly unique about Revenge of the Fallen, however, is the fact that you can actually experience the story from the Autobots perspective or Decepticons. Cool.
Expect to see this game on store shelves June 15th.
Bioshock 2 Features Multiple Endings, More Dynamic Gameplay
In the beginning video games usually had two endings. Only one was satisfactory, with the other being the frustrating “game over, you lose” screen. In their evolution and growth (games might be stuck in adolescence according to some, but that’s definitely some growth) they’ve been exploring the idea that not everyone wants to hear the same story. Some people want the hero to fall prey to his baser urges and defeat the villain only to assume his throne, or any number of other outcomes. Bioshock 2 is going to be continuing this proud tradition of customizing your own gaming experience.
In an interview with OXM Jordan Thomas, creative director at 2K Marin said that they’re going to try and improve upon the ‘binary’ ending of the original. He also pointed out that in the original (as with most games) you can end up on a particular path relatively arbitrarily so Bioshock 2 is aiming towards making you aware of what sort of ending you’re heading towards as you play and make more choices.

Albatron Nvidia VGA Cards Bundled with Free EVE Online Playtime
A partnership that is aiming to push the new batch of Albatron Nvidia VGA cards is in the works. For gamers who purchase this new graphics card, free playtime for EVE Online will be rewarded to the new Albatron Nvidia VGA graphics card owner.
“There is nothing that comes close to EVE Online as far galactic-interstellar MMORPGs. It is a futuristic adventure like nothing you’ve seen before, rife with both action and strategy. It will be bundled with most Albatron NVIDIA VGA cards allowing you to download the entire game in minutes. Take a look at the awesome trailers on the DVD, try the game and you’ll be hooked.”
The game will be available with the Albatron cards going all the way back to the 9400GT series. Added to this, gamers will get a free month of play for EVE, totaling $14.95 worth of gameplay. I suppose that’s not that bad a deal. Just seems like EVE coming with a new video card is a slightly underwhelming reason for purchasing a video card.
