Want Streets of Rage for free?
The people over at www.bombergames.net have been working on a Streets of Rage remake for over 8 years. Started on March 17, 2003, the game is finally out.
The remake features a whopping 103 stages, all the characters from Streets of Rage 1-3 have received new moves with remastered sprites. Some new characters have also been added. Enemy sprites also received the remaster make over as well as RGP color corrections for the SoR 2 and 3 goons.
A lot of extra content have also been included such as cheats, editors, customizable options and a volleyball mode. SEGA is aware of the project's existence and hopefully they won't make a fuss about it. After all it did take them 8 years to complete.
The game is available for free on their site and if you're feeling generous, donate to them via Paypal for all their hard work.
Battlefield Play4Free now on Open Beta
EA's Battlefield Play4Free just hit beta and anybody can join the fray. All you got to do is sign up an EA account, download the client and you should be all set. Think Battlefield Play4Free a more serious version of Battlefield Heroes.
Just like any battlefield game there are four classes to pick from; Assault, Recon, Medic, Engineer and start with the default equipment. As you level up you have access to more but if you want to have access to better equipment you'll have to pay up.
Not sure why EA decided on releasing another free Battlefield game. We already have Battlefield Heroes, why overshadow the old one? My guess is, their hyping up Battlefield 3 with this.
It's on Open Beta so the game isn't final. Changes will be made and extra content will be implemented in the future.

Spider-man Edge of Time Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer to Activision's next Spider-Man game was released yesterday and compared to Shattered Dimensions, it looks like nothing changed in terms of gameplay. Also included are new screenshots in great detail.

I wasn't really impressed with the trailer and I'm also suprised with another Spider-man game that also includes time travel and other Spider-man's from different timelines meeting. In this case, Shattered Dimensions had four different Spider-man's in different timelines but Edge of time will be focusing on only Amazing Spider-man and Spider-man 2099.
Spider-man: Edge of Time is slated for a fall 2011 release on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
What do you think of the trailer? and did you even enjoy the last Spider-man game?
Splinter Cell in 3D
Ever imagined what its like to see Sam Fisher in 3D? Wonder no more for Ubisoft just made that possible with Splinter Cell 3D a game for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was released on March 2011 and would be a remake of Chaos Theory, one of the best stealth games there is.
So now you ask your self, would this be like Splinter Cell Essential? I certainly hope not, cause Splinter Cell Essentials was a disaster. Game reviewers everywhere trashed the game so even if I were a fan of Splinter Cell I did not touch the game for fear of it ruining my image of the game. I just hope that the game will be much better than the previous hand held title.
For the people who, like me, have no Nintendo 3DS yet. Here is the game play of Splinter Cell 3D.

Max Payne 3 multiplayer confirmed
The latest issue of UK publication EDGE magazine is featuring Max Payne 3 in their next issue giving a lot of interesting information about this bullet-time crazy third person shooter. To start things off they confirmed Max Payne 3 will have it's very own online multilayer. Max Payne has always been considered a Single Player experience and this will be a first for the series.There is no other information about its online multiplayer and i can't seem to imagine how it would play out.
The front image starting the article about Max Payne in the issue shows Max Payne messed up but not bald. Pictures of Max Payne 3 was shown a few months back showing a bald and fat Max Payne but now we see him in a different look. It could be possible too that in the progression of the story Max changes but nothing is yet certain. One thing that's confirmed is that the game's setting is set in Sao Paolo,Brazil.
Max Payne 3 is being developed by the famous Rockstar games and this title is apparently a collaborative effort between four different Rockstar studios in the world. While Rockstar Vancouver is still in charge of developing the game, Rockstar New England, London, and Toronto studios are involved in the project.
“We have a lot of talented people across all our studios,” said MP3′s art director, Rob Nelson, “and this just means we can bring the right people in for a specific task when needed – and it gives the games a consistent level of quality and an approach that’s Rockstar.”
New features about the game include destructible environments, a wheel-based weapon selection window, a new cover system and the famous bullet time will now be charged up by killing enemies.
They have done hundreds of motion capture recorded using Euphoria Engine to make their characters interact with the environments realistically.
In addition, The original voice of Max Payne, James McCafferty, is confirmed to return to voice for Max Payne 3.
So it looks like there's a lot of interesting changes happening in Max Payne 3. The Max Payne series was always an "ok" series for me so I was never excited for the third. But with Rockstar now doing all the work including development I have high hopes for the third game. Rockstar has proved over and over again that they can make amazing games. They have been taking risks with their games nowadays and it's been paying off recently giving gamers something unique. Only time will tell if Max Payne will be in the same caliber as their previous games.
Max Payne 3 will be released on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A released date is yet to be announced.
Thanks to vg247 for the information and we can't wait to learn more of Max Payne 3.
