"Now that RPGs like Final Fantasy XIII are out of the way, the next one on every RPG gamers list for this year is Bethesda Softworks Fallout: New Vegas that is scheduled for a Fall release.

June 19, 2010 at 9:37 PM

Any game developer would feel privileged to have released a game that generated as many oft-quoted lines of dialogue as Valve's 2007 action puzzler Portal.

"If thought you were sick of the memes, I was sick of it way ahead of you," said Wolpaw, who was the primary writer on Portal and one of two writing leads on its upcoming sequel, which was demonstrated this week at the E3 Expo.

Return of the IP: How Snowblind Will Save LOTR
June 19, 2010 at 1:42 PM

PSInsider writes: You can't just walk into Mordor, and, these days, you can't just walk into the store and pick up a quality Lord of the Rings title for your console like it's 2003. Since Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, there have been twelve LOTR games, fourteen if you count expansions and EA's (sadly) canned The White Council, not to mention free, browser-based games, board games, card games, and all the other ways publishers have sought to monetize the property. Surely, this flood of games would be enough for even the most die-hard "ringer," no? No. A thousand times, no.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Is Proud To Be Hardcore
June 19, 2010 at 10:29 AM

The Witcher 2 is an unabashedly hardcore role-playing game from a group of Polish developers who barely care about getting an M rating so they can make it onto U.S. store shelves, much less the T rating that most RPGs shoot for. Developer CD Projekt showed off part of the games first chapter at this years E3, and its looking fantastic.

HookedGamers preview: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
June 19, 2010 at 8:51 AM

HookedGamers writes: "Tom Clancy games traditionally become more streamlined, simpler and faster with each new edition. This usually comes at the price of losing focus on tactical considerations, realism and authenticity. As such, it is no surprise to see the latest Ghost Recon installment to take this accessible approach even further. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier plans to throw players into the future, giving it the room it needs to explore new gameplay possibilities and some cool new technologies for players to play around with."

Gamezebo says "What can you do when you believe you've witnessed a murder, but the police don't believe you? If you're lucky or playing the hidden object game Agatha Christie: 4:50 From Paddington - you tell your dear friend Jane Marple and get her on the case. Miss Marple's unassuming and quiet demeanor hides a shrewd mind and keen eye for observation, traits you'll need to share if you hope to solve the mystery yourself."
 

CNET: Costumes, creatures, and more from the E3 2010 show floor
June 19, 2010 at 8:19 AM

CNET: "Nothing makes an E3 show stand out like the collection of costumed characters, full-size monster sculptures, and movielike props that fill the halls, booths, and even the lobbies of the Los Angeles Convention Center. It's closer at times to a comic book convention than an industry-only trade show, and a pretty good barometer of how the companies involved feel about the overall health of the expo (a frequent topic on conversation over the past few years)."

If you read chilyns look at the world of fanfiction, you know that theres a ton of Dragon Age fiction out there, written by fans for fun, entertainment and at times catharsis in response to the events and characters of the game.

GI: Star Wars: The Old Republic Preview
June 19, 2010 at 8:19 AM

Game Informer: BioWares E3 announcements this year for their upcoming sci-fi MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic focused on the addition of player-owned spaceships and PvP Warzones to the game. Neither of these was actually playable, but I did get my first chance to try the game for myself. As both a heavy MMO player and a Star Wars fan, I can happily say that its looking like The Old Republic will be able to provide satisfying content for both of those sides.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Single Player Walkthrough Trailer [HD]
June 19, 2010 at 8:03 AM

PSU Writes: "If you think Assassins Creed: Brotherhood is all about multiplayer action, think again. In this video released by Ubisoft, we get a walkthrough of the single player campaign. This is a nice long narrated video, which shows off some of the new features like the use of horses in towns (finally) and horseback combat. We saw some of this footage earlier in the week, including the portion where Ezio uses a cannon. Combat has also been improved, apparently, which may be one of the biggest highlights for those who played the original games. Look for Assassins Creed: Brotherhood on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on September 7."
 

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Preview | Gamepur
June 19, 2010 at 8:03 AM

So Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is it merely an extension or an adventure in itself? A big question we are now able to answer. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (ACB) starts exactly where AC2 left off. From the demo, Ezio wakes up to an attack on the village you built in the previous game. Cannon's start firing and we soon find the Borgia clan is behind the attack with hopes of seizing the Apple of Eden.

Valves Erik Johnson took us through a demo of Portal 2 and showed off a new character and many new toys youll be playing with in all-new "tests" created for you by your loving enemy, GladOS.

You make in portals and out portals, and then use them to manipulate the environment and objects to solve physics-based puzzles. But now youll have a whole array of new toys to use in conjunction with your portals to add even more creative depth to the game.
 

E3: Assassins Creed Brotherhood Preview (Zavvi.com)
June 19, 2010 at 7:31 AM

Zavvi.com: "Last years Assassins Creed 2 was the very best kind of sequel it took what worked in the slightly flawed original, beefed those parts up, and discarded all of the elements that made the second half of that first game something of a chore to play through. Aside from those excellent gameplay refinements the plot was also far more involving, the dialogue and characterisation were noticeably superior..."

E3 2010 Super Meat Boy Preview [DIYGamer]
June 19, 2010 at 6:42 AM

DIYGamer: "Super Meat Boy. Its arguably the most anticipated game we have or ever will mention on this site; with legions of fans already on board thanks to the original Meat Boy release. Nearing a year of development time, the game is agonizingly close to its launchand subsequent global takeover. I was delighted to find a playable demo on the floor of E3 that I could get my sweaty mitts all over, and downright giddy to have Tommy Refenes (half of Team Meat) right there to guide me through."
 

Driver: San Francisco Collectors Edition Announced
June 19, 2010 at 6:42 AM

Although the original game was certainly a success on the PS one, additional installments in the Driver series didnt exactly follow suit. However, Ubisoft aim to change that with yet another new Driver title which they announced at their E3 press conference; Driver: San Francisco. Since the developers want the series triple-a status back, it would make sense that theyve detailed the driving games Collectors Edition.
