E3:2 - Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time

I really like the R&C series, but for some reason, I haven't been following the developement of the new game.

Again here is the E3 Trailer



As per the usual for Ratchet and Clank games, the levels are looking vibrant and colourful, the weapons are looking hilarious (Sonic Eruptor FTW), and the enimies are looking big.

Hopefully, this game is going to come in a box, cause I really don't want to wait 8 hours for it to download, like Quest for Booty did.

E3:1 - Assassins Creed 2

Here it is, the E3 demo for Assassins Creed 2. 


I don't know if flying will be something you can do outside of missions, or if they only appear when there is a job to do. I'm impressed with the fact you can steal weapons from the people you are fighting, (I believe the only other game that happens in is Shadow of Rome on the PS2, good game, you should try it), also now the guards check your hiding spots, its not as easy to evade when you are being chased, but with the, what I'm calling, Kill-From-Hiding (great name, I know), that kinda negates it.

By the way, in not the only one who thought "Double-Kill!" when he knife the guards right?

I've pre-ordered my copy from play.com, and now I have to play the waiting game, or Fallout 3 until 13/11/09.

Oh, speaking of which, Play.com has "Strictly" Limited edition of the game for £69.99.
Here is what you get:

  • Collectable black packaging with unique authentic holographic signature
  • Rare "Master Assassin" upgrade Ezio figurine (see image below) - this limited edition collectable figurine of Ezio wears an upgraded cloak, something Ezio only has access to in the advanced stages of the game.
  • 3 in-game bonus quests - enter and explore the most prestigious moments of the Renaissance. Reveal mysterious unique artifacts hidden within their walls: Palazzo Medicis in Florence, Santa Maria Dei Frari and Arsenal Shipyard Warehouse in Venice.
  • Conspiracy Book - this 64-page finely crafted leather style hardcover and parchment-finish page book brings together exclusive insights on the game art, story and background, direct from the developers ofAssassin's Creed II. Secret faces are also revealed from the game's overarching conspiracy.
  • Game Soundtrack by Jesper Kyd (British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominee for "2009 Best Original Score in a Game")
  • All videos, behind-the-scene interviews and e-goodies about Assassin's Creed II.

Transfigirous Legosis


Travelers Tales are at it again with the Lego franchise, this time they are turning Harry Potter and Co into the iconic blocks.
Lego Harry Potter will be split into 2 games the first featuring years 1 to 4 and the second featuring 5 to 7.
The teaser trailer can be found here


Also to be recreated in Lego is the awesome Rock Band (If they re-name it Block Band I'll throw up) the teaser trailer can be found here

I'd post the videos here myself but they don't seem to have and embed option, so links will have to do.

Heavy Rain *Update*

At long last there has been an update for Heavy Rain! This video from 1up.com (viewable here as well as right here)
I know it's more of an interview than an update, but this actually shows gameplay, and that is what I have been waiting almost a year for.

So, gameplay-wise it looks a much more advance versions of Fahrenheit's, but with the X,O,Square, Triangle buttons coming into play. Seems you have to keep a look out for them aswell not just look at the top of the screen and wait for them to appear. 
Level design looks amazing, but really thats not much of a plus seeing as this is 3rd gen and is expected from most games now. 
Still no talk of a release date, and David is still keeping his mouth wire shut about the story, (BTW does he sound less and less 'French' each time he does something like this?)
Want this game so much.

Fallout PS3


Microsoft's iron grip on DLC exclusivity is slowly being wedged open it seems, with the news of Fallout 3's Operation: Anchorage being release for the PS3 in early June. The other 2 DLC packs, The Pitt and Broken Steel, will then be released in 4 to 6 week intervals.

Not only is that good news, even better is that there are 2 NEW DLC packs in the works for Fallout 3; Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. No idea what Point Lookout is about, but I can guess that Mothership Zeta is about and alien invasion, given that the scout ship you find is called "Scout Ship Zeta", BTW I love the Alien Blaster, kills most Super Mutants in one shot.

Hopefully this example of 'sharing the love' will be noticed by Rockstar and Valve and any other company that sold its soul to Microsoft, if not, maybe seeing the money roll in from us PS3 owners will get them to give us The Lost and The Damned, and the Team Fortress 2 DLC.

N.B. I'm not biased against Microsoft, but getting a company to make DLC for its versions only, just doesn't seem right.

Meet The Spy

Decided to take a break from my revision, and this showed up on my youTube subscriptions. 

Valve have released a new "Meet The..." video.  But being the Spy, no-one is sure who the spy is. Try and guess who it is before it is revealed.




I really like Team Fortress 2, but sadly I only have the PS3 Orange Box version, which apparently will NEVER recieve the updates that the PC version get. I only got Orange Box because I didn't think my laptop could cope with it, but I recently got a copy of Half Life 2: Death Match and Garry's Mod off Steam, and they work quite well, so after the exams, (and when I'm in a place where the download speed is faster than 56Kb/s) I might get myself a copy.

Anyway, back to revision, I'll start again properly at the end of the week, and remember...

Spy Checking, It could save lives, and end theirs!

P.S. Speaking of Steam, add me if you like my ID is ThePhyonix
