'Saints Row: The Third' Will Receive 40 Weeks Of DLC
Posted 9/9/11 6:00 pm ET by Matt Clark in News, PS3, Xbox 360
The game industry, like most entertainment media, is continually moving toward an all-digital future. While broadband speed and prevalence in the United States isn't quite to the point yet where publishers can consider entirely doing away with physical software, it's obvious that disc-based games are not long for the world. Presently, you can download plenty of titles digitally, but really, downloadable add-on content is what's really directing the publishers' attention.
THQ is no exception, and with the upcoming release of "Saints Row: The Third," the company is looking to expand their downloadable-content model exponentially.

She applies the sand by hand over a table that is lit from below, using her fingers to add seemingly impossible details. You can almost feel the movement of her subjects, as recognizable characters and settings emerge from the granules.

Posted 9/9/11 3:57 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Features, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
"Dead Island" has been out for less than a week, and already people are starting to stumble upon some pretty incredibly secrets that the developers have hidden throughout Banoi. One of the more interesting secrets is the existence of colored skulls scattered throughout the island. Picking one up would give you no indication as to its purpose. It's not visible in your inventory and there's no reference of it in any of the hints. But the colored skulls serve more of a purpose than just as easter eggs. They may just be the key to the most powerful weapons in the game.

This may come as a shock to some, but there was actually a "Crysis" game before "Crysis 2." Yes, I realize if you didn't own a super-cooled gaming PC in 2008, you may not have been aware of the original game or, more likely, you decided to ignore it, knowing that you didn't have a prayer in running it. If that's the case and you started your career with "Crysis 2," Crytek is offering up a chance to fill in the blanks. The developer will be releasing the original "Crysis" on XBLA and PSN in October.

Posted 9/8/11 5:41 pm ET by Jason Cipriano in PS3, Reviews
Sony's Team ICO have a knack for creating experiences in video games that feel unlike anything else. They have accomplished this twice on the PlayStation 2, with their two masterpieces, "ICO" and "Shadow of the Colossus." While both games are ten and six years old respectively, they are just the prelude to the studio's next game, "The Last Guardian," and what better way to remind your fans of how good your games are, than to re-release them in high definition. Following in the footsteps of some other, high profile, re-releases "ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection" brings these two beloved games to the PlayStation 3.

The summer drought is coming to a close, and just over the horizon we can make out the oncoming horde of fall videogames. This holiday season is crammed full of impressive titles – seriously have you looked at the line-up? – all vying for your dollar. So, when I heard Cabela's hunting games team were releasing a new property – beyond their Kinect release – I probably didn't pay as much attention as I should have.

'Dead Island' Weapons Guide - Blueprints, Required Ingredients And Locations
Posted 9/8/11 1:18 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Features, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
In a zombie apocalypse, a weapon is a must-have, and while traditional weapons like baseball bats and crowbars will keep you alive for a small amount of time, the true survivors are going to be packing custom gear. "Dead Island" attempts to replicate this with custom weapons designed based on blueprints scattered around the zombie-filled island of Banoi.
These custom weapons require a blueprint to unlock, at which point you can build the weapons at any work bench, presuming you have the ingredients. These usually require a base weapon, paired with seemingly-random objects scattered throughout the world.
