Final Fantasy XIII-2 Variety Trailer
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is only days away and Square Enix wants to make it clear that the sequel won't be as linear as the first game. Trailer is all about variety, showing what you can do in the game if you need a break from all the drama..err I mean story.
I've tried the demo and while I do appreciate the changes made in the sequel, It wasn't enough for me to plan on getting it when it releases on january 31. The story of the first game was a mess and from what I'm seeing, it got worse.
Twisted Metal has gone gold

Each copy of Twisted Metal will provide a voucher to earn a Sweet Tooth Outcast skin for Starhawk. Not interesting? Yea, thought so too. But what's included on the Limited Editon of Twisted Metal is another story.

Those first copies mention are obviously the Limited Edition of the game. If you pre-ordered the game, you get an automatic upgrade to the Limited Edition.

Guild Wars 2 confirmed for 2012
Happy Chinese New Year to all! ArenaNet founder and President Mike O'Brian posted interesting news about Guild Wars 2 in ArenaNet's official blog. Not only is this the year of the Dragon, but its the year for Guild Wars 2.
The post also mentions that they have recently concluded the closed beta of Guild Wars 2 and is now moving forward in opening the beta to a wider audience. Starting in February, they will be opening the beta to selected press and on March and April, they will be inviting more people to help test out Guild Wars 2.
While there is no official release date yet for Guild Wars 2, the last sentence of the post confirms that Guild Wars 2 will be on shelves this year. So Guild Wars fanatics, just hold your breathe for a little bit longer. Release is near.
This brought a smile to my face, but I'd be happier if they gave us a release date already so I can count the days. Does everybody else agree?

If you plan on trying the demo out on your Xbox, you'll get a treat. The Xbox 360 demo will be the first ever pre-launch demo to support voice recognition of the Xbox 360's Kinect. It will be an exclusive feature on the Xbox 360 version were you may use the Kinect's voice recognition to order your squad or activate your abilities by simply saying it.

Resident Evil 6 officially announced by Capcom
Capcom has finally announced Resident Evil 6. Out of nowhere, the game developer raises the curtains on the game and shows a full length trailer at the same time revealing the game's release date. Resident Evil 6 is coming out on November 20, 2012 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version to be released in the future. Check the trailer after the bump.
Quite a surprise to see the first look of the game at the same time a release date of this year. In the game's official Twitter account, They mention that the game has been in production for two years.
Coop is said to make its return with of course the traditional single player format.
With Leon S. Kennedy making a return and is pit with yet another incident similar to Raccoon City, Chris Redfield also makes a return dealing with another outbreak in China. It's good to see that Capcom will be placing players on different locations with different protagonists compared to previous games. Chris and Leon are not the only playable characters it seems.
They also seem to adapt a cover system. Shown in the trailer, Chris runs for cover but gets caught by some claw showing its still not safe. Resident Evil 6 also seem to have a lot of variety of enemies to face this time around.
“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series,” said Capcom’s R&D and marketing head Katsuhiko Ichi.
“The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to deliver the most impressive Resident Evil title ever both in terms of scope and production values. We are all genuinely excited by the title and cannot wait to share it with the world.”
Kobayashi added: “From the outset the team’s intention was to create an experience that delivers a gripping storyline, tense single-player and co-op action all set against a constant theme of horror. We are calling this fusion dramatic horror and are confident it will resonate with both existing fans of the series as well as newcomers.”
The game is looking good, and a bit fast paced. But it might just be the trailer fooling us. I personally didn't like how Resident Evil 5 turned out. Resident Evil 2 and 4 were the better games, so hopefully 6 comes out more as those games or something completely different that will shock us all.
What do you think? is this what we want for the next Resident Evil?
