Hey I just noticed that the original Far Cry is now on PS3 and 360 as a Digital release! Its $10, damn good price.

Anyone who hasn't played the original should check it out...its not the same as Far Cry Instincts, its a totally different game. I'm actually thinkingv about grabbing it myself....the PC game is a bit buggy, this version is likely more stable.

DKC reviews out , GS a 6. Seems they adjusted the score. Euro gamer a 7. IGN 9 others very high.

see a it's more of the same.

Disappointing reviews for DKCR2 though not entirely unexpected.  Retro must be itching to work on something different.  

I will probably still end up getting it.  Thoroughly enjoyed the Wii game and wouldn't entirely mind more of the same even if I was hoping for a bit more.

Interesting mix of DKC reviews. Most agree its an extremely well made platformer, in a vacuum another masterpiece. Problem for some is that its been done already, almost no new ideas, etc. Then you have GS which is just "wahhh its hard. Game sucks not me." bullshit. Anyway this is happening more and more with Nintendo games as they are getting more common place even at high quality. I get the complaints, its why I am not excited for DKC at all. I bet when I play it I will love it, but excitment and the urge to play a game does not necessarly correlate with how much quality the game has. I'll get around to it but whatever, Nintendo does not need those kinds of game, they need a game people will wait in line at midnight for.

EDGE!!! Witcher 3!!!

I was extremely excited to be able to attend a live, 40 minute demonstration of the title by the studio’s Head of Marketing and PR, Michał Platkow-Gilewski, and QA Analyst Łukasz Babiel, both of whom also answered questions in an open-floor forum format following the conclusion of the demo.

The portion of this 100 hour epic (50 hours of side-quests, 50 hours of main quests) we were treated to takes place about halfway through the central plot. ‘The White Wolf’ has set off to meet an old friend named Crach, who is Jarl an Craite, part of the Skellige region – a rugged, wind-swept archipelago, the design of which was inspired by Norse and Celtic mythology.

The sheer scale of the game world – 35 times larger than that of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – is evident even in navigating the Jarl’s castle;

The world feels alive, organic and natural, to the point where weather changes actually affect people’s behaviours. For instance, if it is raining, villagers will run for shelter, and if it’s deathly cold, they will seek a source of warmth.

The new economic system in place sees merchants charge more for fish the further they are from the sea, for example. And if the fisherman providing said fish run out, they will set sail to catch some more.

Immediately noticeable is the increased speed, fluidity and responsiveness of the Geralt’s swordsman skills, which play out from a selection of 96 new animation sequences, from parries to stabs and slices. Sign usage is also faster, able to be utilised fluidly as an integral part of your offensive arsenal. Each of the five Signs now have a primary and secondary application, i.e., the Igni fire blast can be held to develop into a flamethrower.

“The potions will work in a different way than in The Witcher 2. So now you will prepare them, you will drink them before a fight, but you can release the effect of those whenever you want. So it’s not like you’ve drunk the potion and you have 30 seconds of boost and then it wears off. You can start the fight in the moment it suits you, and if the fight proves hard, you can just release the effect through your metabolism. But if the fight is easy, you can preserve that and use it in the next fight.”

Finally, they elucidated to us that the inventory will be akin to a decidedly more traditional, classic grid system, and the story will have a definitive end – ergo, you will not be able to continue past end-game and tie up loose ends

GTA Online made $66 million last year from microtransactions.

That should pay for some servers.

And I have yet another free game from Nintendo. This time it is Super Mario Brox Deluxe. The awesome gameboy color version of Super Mario Bros with lots of extras. Will play later!

It's a great game.  I have the GBC cartridge.  How did you get it for free?  3DS download?

The Order leaks

Nice to see The Order is keeping up with the last generation innovation of using gray and brown as its main colors.

It's set in Victorian London...

robio said:

If they're making up high powered electrical weapons, vampires, and other monsters sure they can pretend the color yellow existed.

Hmm, I see a yellow light in the second gif Vader posted above.
