Dishonored Hands-on [PAX Prime 2012]

Bethesda has a history of turning out some of the best story-driven video games. Every once in a while they combine that passion for story-telling with an action-oriented video game and offer us the best of both worlds.

From the first trailer, it became obvious that Dishonored was going to be one of those projects where Bethesda tries, again, for the ‘complete package’ type of video game; providing its fans with the ability to progress through a deep, original story, while providing a smooth, satisfying gaming experience.

Elder Scrolls Online: Impressions & Zombie Werewolf Generals.

The world of MMOs is tricky a market. With each release unavoidably being compared to the juggernaut that is World of War Craft, it’s tough to stand out.

Time and time again we see large name subscription-based games turning into free to play formats in a struggle to build their community and grow. With all of this to consider, I accepted a press invitation to check out the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online. I figured if anyone had a shot at launching a successful new MMO in this day and age, the team of Bethesda Zenimax Online would be one of the best gambles a gamer could make.

RAGE Hands-on [PAX Prime 2011]

RAGE is a game that originally piqued my interested because of how much it looks like an upgraded Borderlands 2. With the recent announcement of the actual Borderlands 2 though, it was starting to seem a little like maybe RAGE wasn’t as exciting as I was originally thinking. The benefit though, being that its id’s newest, is that things are getting interesting for it as a unique First-Person-Shooter. 

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hands-on [PAX Prime 2011]

Considering it’s easily one of the most hyped games at the show this year, I made it a personal point to make sure that Skyrim was my first appointment of the first day. There have been a few opportunities to see the game, including the recent 30 minute walk-through that was performed by one Todd Howard during Gamecom just last week. So what’s different between that and what’s being shown at PAX Prime?

Why You Should Care: RAGE

 

Remember how I said that I’d try and feature some indie titles, maybe some older games, and potentially some newer games, from time to time, in this new series called “Why You Should Care”? Well… here’s the thing, I do fully intend on that being the case, but I’m going to have to jump out the gate here by playing a little catch-up on some titles that I have a personal interest in that are still on the horizon. Chapter 2 of the continuing saga: RAGE

Prey 2 Looks Rather Dark And Alien In These New Screens

Today brings us more screens of Prey 2 for gamers to either get hyped about or become massively disappointed over.  So far Bethesda and developer Human Head Studios have kept everything close to their chests in regard to the new vision and direction the Prey franchise is taking.  We have received boat load of details on the game (open-world environment, emphasis on platforming, customizable weapons/abilities) but the vision and overall style of Prey 2 has only been shown in some simple screen

Prey 2 Concept Art Shows Us A Massive Alien World

I don’t know if the entire racket over Prey 2 has died down yet or if the core community of the series is so small that the tears shed by fans essentially represents %5 of the audience Bethesda is targeting. Prey 2 may have undergone a slew of changes (new protagonist, new setting, more of a dudebro vibe) but developer Human Head Studios has promised gamers a FPS that evokes shades of Blade Runner all while injecting some visceral action into a genre that is all but on the verge of being dried out.

Elder Scrolls 5 New Menu Details Emerge

A couple of days ago Bethesda showed off their new Elder Scrolls menu revamp to Game Informer. Yes we all know menus are the most essential part to any RPG since you need some way to go through your inventory, stats, quest logs, world maps, city maps, and mini maps. The menus are more important in RPG's than they are in any other gaming genre. I'm thinking you've never thought about it till right now? Am I right? Of course I am.
