OK, so the Gears of War 2 announcement at the Game Developers Conference in February is old news at this point, but for those who weren’t in attendance during the unveil at Microsoft’s keynote, these two videos are for you. First up is a clip of the official game announcement from Cliff Bleszinski, followed by footage from Epic Games’ GDC presentation on the latest Unreal Engine tech powering Gears 2.

Matt Litten — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 21:20:19 +0000

Yeah, so GDC has been over for about two weeks now, but CDV just recently uploaded a massive online press kit for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel from the event and there was simply so much cool shit in there I had to post it all up, even if it’s all a bit after the fact. If you’ve been reading throughout the evening, you’ll have noticed four posts containing various assets from the press kit, including a sweet new trailer, a super-cool series of render videos showing off in-engine creature models, a gallery packed full of screenshots, concept artwork and monster render stills, and a collection of wallpapers you can download and decorate your desktop with. If you haven’t checked those out, click through the links below and see why Sacred 2 is one of the top PC and Xbox 360 games to keep your eye on this year.

Microsoft’s inaugural Xbox Live Arcade Awards winners have been announced today, and after ballots were tallied up these are the games 26,000+ participating voters selected as the best of the best (save for the last four winners, those were selected based on sales data, review scores, etc.):

-Best Classic Game: “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night” (Konami Digital Entertainment)

-Best Original Game: “Pac-Man: Championship Edition” (NAMCO BANDAI Games)

-Best Family-Friendly Game: “Pac-Man: Championship Edition” (NAMCO BANDAI Games)

-Best Competitive Multiplayer Game: “Bomberman Live” (Hudson Entertainment)

-Best Cooperative Multiplayer Game: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (Ubisoft Entertainment)

-Highest-Rated Game: “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night” (Konami Digital Entertainment)

-Xbox LIVE Arcade Staff Choice: “Pac-Man: Championship Edition” (NAMCO BANDAI Games)

Apparently, most XBLA users dig the classics, what with Pac-Man, Bomberman and Castlevania receiving so much of the attention. Kind of a shame if you ask me, Alien Hominid and Super Puzzle Fighter II should’ve won at least a little something…

GDC 2008: Too Human Screenshots and Trailers

Matt Litten — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:31:53 +0000

So yeah, I’ve been a bit wary of Too Human given its long and arduous development cycle, and for the simple fact that, well, the game just hasn’t ever looked that impressive to me. But wow, I’m completely changing my tune after eyeballing this latest crop of screenshots and trailers Microsoft and Silicon Knights have dished out at GDC this week. Holy damn, this shit looks amazing!
