Weekend, what are you playing?
It's that time during the week when you can kick back, relax, and reduce the number of games you have not finished. Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken came out this week so I bet people are either taking back Earth or finding that team that best suits you. What are you playing?
Quash: This week has been Mass Effect 3 for me, and thanks to this game, I have been going to sleep at 3am since I got it. I got the game on Wednesday and have been playing it non-stop. All my free time was taken by Mass Effect 3. Hitting the 38th hour mark, I witnessed one of the greatest video game trilogy of this generation come to an end this morning. Don't worry, I won't spoil this epic. But yes, I just finished it and it was just an amazing game. I won't say more but I'll say this, If it's your first time playing Mass Effect 3, I highly suggest going through 1 and 2 before 3. You will appreciate it much more that way.
PVP aspect of Diablo 3 didn't make the cut in the end
Yes, let the rage come out. But it's actually a good thing for the millions of fans waiting for this game's release. Blizzard devs have announced they will be taking out the Player vs Player aspect of Diablo 3 since it wasn't living up to the developer's expectations.
we ultimately felt that delaying the whole game purely for PvP would just be punishing to everyone who’s waiting to enjoy the campaign and core solo/co-op content, all of which is just about complete.
Just about complete? Well that's good news if you ask me. The campaign and co-op campaign is nearly done and with the PVP system holding it back, it's a good decision to give fans some hope that we get to see Diablo 3 sometime this year.
It's too bad we won't have PVP on day one, but the developer's plan to include the PVP arena when it's all ready and balanced via patch. it's a win-win since they get Diablo 3 to move forward and have content that fans can look forward to after the game's release.
At this point, I just want the game in my hands. Enough said.
Diablo 3 was never really about the PVP aspect of the game and was literally just a cool thing to do when your bored. So if that was really the road block for the delays, then thank god they decided to leave it behind for now.
Diablo 3 will be release on [Blizzard please insert date here NOW] for PC.

Angry Birds Space video shows gameplay footage
Rovio, creators of the crazy famous Angry Birds, announced the game's sequel a few weeks ago. Their latest video l has a NASA Astronaut explain the concepts of the new added gameplay, and after sitting through that you get a glimpse of the game's gameplay. The whole gravity idea for the sequel actually looks like a lot of fun.
It seems that the guy was demonstrating the video is an ACTUAL astronaut from NASA. Rovio asked to explain actual physics in an actual space station. The addiction that is Angry Birds continues in space on March 22.
Quantic Dream reveals an amazing tech demo called Kara
Quantic Dream, makers of Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy showed up at GDC 2012(Game Developer's Conference) to show off the company's latest game engine that will be the foundation of the French studio's next game. They showcased a 7-minute tech demo called "Kara" that pretty much amazed me on how powerful the engine is. take note, this tech demo is being played through a Playstation 3 in real-time, not a cinematic video.
Again, this isn't Quantic Dream's next title, but this is the engine being built from the ground up for the next game. The game engine is only 50% of its features right now, but the engine looks promising.
David Cage, co-founder of Quantic Dream's, revealed the tech demo to GDC and again aims to deliver a game never done before. They're last game, Heavy Rain, which is actually hard to explain on what kind of game it is, had huge success in terms of sales and reception. They delivered a game no one has ever experienced in gaming and are exploring new ways to bring something new to the market.
“There are people doing more interesting things or different things, perhaps, but I feel we’re pretty alone in what we’re trying to explore,” he said, referring to whatever project the company does have coming next.
“What we’re trying to create is really interactive entertainment for an adult audience. We don’t pretend that we’re cleverer than anyone else – but there are so many games out there that provide limited entertainment, and we try to make something for a more mature audience.”
Heavy Rain launch Trailer
what drew me to Heavy Rain was that it was a game you will not experience again in a couple of years, and it's true. No studio will take the risk of pulling out resources on a game that drives heavily on story and player decisions alone. It's a risk Quantic Dream's took and it seems they are planning to take that same risk. Can't wait to see what they planned in their studio.
It might take a while until they reveal the game that will be running this game engine, but it will be worth the wait.
