Some screenshots from the upcoming BloodRayne: Betrayal arcade reboot of the BloodRayne franchise for PSN and XBLA. When this title was first announced, I wasn’t all that excited for it (still wanting the original franchise to get rebooted and saved… along with Nocturne!), but after seeing some of the gameplay I really started to dig [...]

Two Worlds II: Pirates of the Flying Fortress Screenshots
TW2 is really coming together, they just sent in another batch of screenshots for the Pirates of the Flying Fortress release and things look sharp. If you’d like to see TWII in action, it looks a lot like Witcher 2 crossed with Age of Conan; in the sense that it has the MMORPG feel to [...]
Duke Nukem Forever (PC) Review
Summary If you can appreciate Duke Nukem Forever for what it is, a game that should have come out 6 years ago, and stop expecting it to compete with modern shooters, you will get some enjoyment out of it, but there are still rough edges everywhere that will make playing it seem like a chore [...]
The War of the Worlds (XBLA / PSN) Screenshots
Some screenshots from the upcoming PSN/XBLA title The War of the Worlds. Below is the press release:
E3 2011 – XCOM High Res Screenshots

E3 2011 – Duke Nukem Forever – Multiplayer Screenshots
In addition to the single-player screenshots, here are some multiplayer screenshots from the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever release. Given the texture resolution, we still assume these are from the PC version.
Anti-Aliasing in Java 2D is an Expensive Operation
This post is more of an aside or random observation and it likely only effects folks trying to do animation or games with Java; normal folks using Swing, probably won’t care. I was just playing around running some of the old-ass JFC demos that come with the JDK on my machine; something I’ve done over [...]
“ENBSeries” Mod Makes GTA IV Look Amazing
If you are still enjoying the virtual New York City that Rockstar created for us in Grand Theft Auto IV, or you never played it and are thinking of picking it up dirt-cheap on the PC, I might point you at the newly released “ENBSeries” graphics mod by Vorontsov Boris. With the odd name and [...]
Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone Review
Introduction Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone is the first release of a 4-part movie remake of the seminal Noen Genesis Evangelion anime series known as Rebuild of Evangelion. Yes, you just read that right. The Evangelion series is actually getting rewritten and remade in the form of a planned 4 movies, the first 3 [...]
The UnderGarden (Xbox Live Arcade) Review
Summary The UnderGarden is a cute, artistic and calming romp through a bioluminescent underwater world full of dormant plants that you need to repopulate. The only challenges you encounter in the game are physics puzzles that must be solved to continue through the level. The use of simple, tonal music combined with the colorful flora [...]

If you just want to download the program and run it, scroll down the Download section below. Thanks! Background A few weeks ago we wrote about Mayank Lahiri’s working FourSquare checkin hack that allowed [...]
Mafia II Release Party Planning
Mafia 2 is coming out August 24th, that’s in 6 days. We will explain why you should care… Almost 8 years ago to the day, the original Mafia was released for the PC. It was, in our opinion, the best game of 2002 and a sleeper hit that garner none of the attention it deserved. [...]
Deus Ex: Human Evolution Gameplay Trailer
For folks that love the Deus Ex universe (I didn’t play the 2nd one, I just recall that it was a bit of a let down) it looks like we are going to get the Deus Ex sequel we always wanted in the form of Human Evolution. In the new gameplay trailer play special attention [...]
Alan Wake on Xbox 360 Looks Bad
I picked up Alan Wake for the Xbox 360 yesterday and I have to say: good lord are the textures crumby. The entire game looks “muddy” or “washed out”, depending on if you are in a light or dark scene. What is so disappointing about this is that you can tell with the right horsepower [...]
Treyarch Thrusts Call of Duty Franchise Forward with Black Ops
The “Call of Duty” franchise has been shaken up this year with the venerated Infinity Ward crew responsible for the franchise and all the highest-rated releases in the series falling apart with lawsuits flying up on both sites. Fortunately, it looks like the previous goto company for 1-off Call of Duty releases, Treyarch, has risen [...]
Project E:st MMO Uses CryENGINE2 and Looks Awesome
After seeing CryENGINE at work with games like Crysis, Crysis: Warhead and Crysis 2, I’ve always wondered “Why don’t more MMOs use this engine to create incredible realistic worlds that I can adventure around in?” I mean, jesus, just look at this completely dialed out screenshot from Crysis 2 on max quality setting:
Crysis 2 Screenshots – No More Jungles
VE got a dump of “in-game” Crysis 2 screenshots from the Crysis 2 team that are looking bee-a-u-tiful. As amazed as I was at the Jungle scenes in Crysis, Warhead, Far Cry and Far Cry 2 (different Engine) I was always wondering “what would happen if you took this insane graphic prowess and rendered urban [...]
Splatterhouse PS3 Screenshots
GameInfoWire got the dump of recent Splatterhouse PS3 screenshots and we are loving it – gore everywhere. It looks like Rick (the hulking main character) shows damage real-time in the form of actual crippling injuries to his body that we have to assume regenerate by some means or else he dies. Above you see Rick [...]
BioShock 2 (PC) Review
Summary [8 out of 10] True-to-form I ran through BioShock 1 for the first time in preparation for BioShock 2, and last night I finally wrapped up BioShock 2 (fighting through the keybinding bugs on the PC) and found it to be an excellent continuation of the BioShock story, feeling very much like the first one [...]
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Screenshots
At first glance I thought these screenshots were grabbed via cam, but upon further glancing at some of the other screenshots they look flat-out grainy, almost like they were grabbed from the Wii: Click to see the full version of that screenshot and look at Kane’s beard, it’s not fuzzy it’s just really detail-less and [...]
God of War 3 Screenshots
Thanks to Ted Regulski for the heads up on these. We actually had about 10 mins of alone-time with God of War 3 at PAX 2009 and can say this: It’s exactly what you want. If you liked God of War 1 and God of War 2, the God of War series continues with the [...]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Screenshots
Well it’s coming and everyone is waiting for it, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2, so we figured we’d put up as many screenshots as we could find that were tasty. Unfortunately it looks like still no main-story-line co-op, but they are offering co-op in the SpecOps mode which is taking down foes in special [...]
Dragon Age: Origins Villages, Environments and World Screenshots
Most of the Dragon Age: Origins screenshots we’ve seen up until now have focused primarily on battle and the party in the game. That is why I was excited when an environments-only screenshot pack dropped in our lab tonight. These screenshots show of the world that Dragon Age: Origins takes place in. The type of [...]
