TooMuchGaming is now in HD

Here is some test footage of PS3 gameplay recorded using my brand new AverMedia DarkCrystal HD Capture Station (aka AverMedia AverTV HD PVR/DVR).

The video was rendered through NCH VideoPad Video Editor Professional v2.40. I also uploaded the same video rendered using Sony Vega Pro v9.0 as well as the original .TS format video that the included software records in.

Further testing will be done once I get back and have access to all my gaming junk. Review to follow in early 2013.

Street Fighter x Tekken - Lag Warriors

Migoy and Bud are at it again. Trying to face the online fighting community via the internet of the Philippines As the title suggests, it does not go smoothly.

Equipped with a Skycable Broadband internet connection with a download speed of 3mbps and an upload speed of only 0.4mbps, you can expect a glorious amount of lag to seep in. I swear we've had better games under the same connection earlier this year.

Dead Space 3 trailer says there's two ways to play the game

EA and Visceral Games released a new trailer for Dead Space 3, letting us know that playing the game with a buddy shows a different side of the story.

I still have my doubts on adding coop on a survival horror game. Having a friend tag along eliminates that feeling of being alone surrounded by unknown terrors waiting for you. But when you think about it, I can't remember a coop game that I didn't like. Playing with a friend through a campaign is always going to be fun, no matter what, and adding a bit of change to the story in coop actually gives extra replay value once you have tackled the game alone.

Dead Space 3 hits shelves on February 5, 2013 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Demo coming to North America next month

If you're eager to try Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance and take Raiden out for a spin, you could buy the Zone of Enders HD Collection to get the demo, but I highly suggest you hold off for one more month because a demo is coming to North America.

This upcoming demo is the same demo already released in Japan and on every copy of the Zone of Enders HD Collection, so gamer's who have already tried that demo - Don't expect anything new.

If you want to see what the demo will contain and see the carnage from afar, check out Migoy's playthrough below.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is set for a February 19 2013 release on Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

Fans get to vote for Bioshock Infinite's reversible cover

Last week, Irrational Games revealed Bioshock Infinite's box art and the reaction towards it was surprisingly negative. Fans of the series felt the cover art had no personality and does not reflect Infinite's game world at all. Rage no more, Ken Levine announces that a reversible cover will come with the game, and you get to vote which art will be used.

Along with the announcement from Ken Levine himself, a poll was also included in the post so that fans can start voting for the best cover art. There are 6 cover arts to choose from, so if you feel strongly about having an amazing cover art for your copy of Bioshock Infinite, vote away. I personally like box art #6.

But what’s that you say? You want even more choice in covers? We’re also going to be arranging a whole mess of MORE alternate covers which will be available to download and print yourself. Of course, these are free and we’d love to hear your thoughts in the forums as to what you’d like to see.

Why use a shot of the protagonist Booker Dewitt in the cover art in the first place? Ken Levine talked to Wired about the chosen cover art and answers that question. It's a marketing move straight from the developers. They want the uninformed gamers that enter a store to pick up Bioshock; Infinite, hopefully turns it over to see what it's all about, and consider spending his hard-earned cash to try the game out.

Does box art affect your buying decision? For me, not at all. They can have a 5 year-old make a doodle of the game's logo for Bioshock: infinite and I'll still get it. But again, this is for the people that have no idea what they are getting into, so hopefully it pays off.

Bioshock: Infinite was previously planned for a February 2013 release but was pushed back a month for further polishing. The new release date is March 26, 2013 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
