Sony's latest presentation of 'Beyond: Two Souls' elicited its share of "What the…?" reactions. Seeing Jodie Holmes (played by Ellen Page) in an African combat setting made one wonder if David Cage and his team sold out to 'Call of Duty' audiences. Yet you need to remember that 'Beyond' spans 15 years of Jodie's life and this scene was merely one of many episodes of the game. If you were still hoping to follow this woman's life as a social outcast, Sony's latest trailer assures that 'Beyond' will have more than enough of that.

E3 2013: ‘Super Mario 3D World’ Preview – The Gangs All Here

When Nintendo makes a promise, they generally tend to keep it. A few months ago(http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2013/05/20/mario-kart-3d-mario-smash-bros-highlight-e3-nintendo-direct/) the team at Nintendo promised that there was a new 3D Super Mario game in development for the Wii U, and that it would be playable at this year’s E3, and they kept their word. However, Mario’s fans may not have guessed that they would be playing it before the end of the year. Announced this morning, as part of the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct presentation, “Super Mario 3D World” will be landing on the Wii U’s this November, and bringing some surprises along with it.  As the follow up to the wildly successful “Super Mario 3D Land” for the 3DS, “3D World” takes Mario’s famous 3D platforming to a whole new level, and brings back some old friends in the process.

'The Last of Us' Preview

I cannot wait until June 14th. Not only is it a day before my birthday -- aww thanks! -- it's the day Naughty Dog's new cinematic adventure releases. The dime store pitch -- "Uncharted" with fungal zombies -- is pretty accurate but unjustly pigeonholes "The Last of Us" into a role that's not the whole picture. The devil's in the details and TLOU has a lot of details.

We already talked about what we learned but I thought it'd be worth it to take another look for the upcoming release.

5 Thoughts on 'Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep'

Posted 5/28/13 3:40 pm EST by in 2k games, Borderlands 2, PC, Previews, PS3, Xbox 360

The first "Borderlands" provided hours upon hours of content that only got larger with three excellent (and one kinda OK) expansions. With the launch of "Borderlands 2," Vault Hunters all over the world knew they'd be in for a treat after the main game was over with even more content courtesy of a DLC season pass. Tweaked (that's Twitter Leaked) earlier, we learned that Tiny Tina would be taking a larger storytelling role and, as the DLC name suggests, it looks we'll be in for another wild ride thanks to Gearbox.

10 Things I Learned From Playing 'The Last of Us'

Posted 5/24/13 12:45 pm EST by in naughty dog, Previews, PS3, the last of us

By Miguel Concepcion

Ok, for some reason I forgot about the zombies in "The Last of Us" until last week. Were there zombies at Sony's E3 press conference last year? I suppose the consumer in me, having thoroughly enjoyed Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, imposed an unconscious media blackout for the last year. Yet, Sony had other ideas as they recently sent over a preview code that featured two of the game's settings. Aside from this reintroduction of zombies, here 9 other things I learned from playing "The Last of Us".

By now you've probably heard about the Xbox One, Microsoft's new game console that was announced today. That reveal also included a deep dive into Call of Duty: Ghosts, the upcoming shooter in the ongoing series from Activision, due out this November. We were able to get a sneak peek at the title last week, and were treated to an underwater sequence from the game that involved following an enemy submarine and destroying it.

June 4th is coming up soon so Capcom and Dontnod are showing off their version of near future with the dystopian, memory hacking game, "Remember Me" hear in New York. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to check out the full demo as I was still nostalgie-tripping over "DuckTales" but I did get a few hands on moments with some combat and explored a bit of the seedy underbelly of Neo Paris.
