Deus Ex: Human Revolution Gallery
Twenty-five years before the events of the first game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution tells the story of Adam Jensen, a security agent who’s critical injured and forced to undergo “Augmentation” in order to survive. In the future of the first game, augmentation was handled via nanotech, but at this point in time, augmentations are mechanical. So instead of an injection into your bloodstream, you get a whole new arm or leg or eyeball, for example, that’s essentially a machine. The events of this title will lead to the formation of the anti-terrorist organization UNATCO from the first game. Like its predecessor, Human Revolution will give players freedom of choice as Read more »
Tomb Raider Getting Gritty Reboot
How many times has a new creative director taken the reins of the Tomb Raider franchise and promised to “rescue the franchise with a bold new take”? Square Enix-powered studio Crystal Dynamics (which is responsible for the last four Tomb Raider games, including the acclaimed downloadable title Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light) is the latest to try their hand at crafting a definitive, new Lara Croft experience. But for this reboot, it looks like the promise of “whole new thing” might actually be fitting. Titled simply Tomb Raider, this latest incarnation of the iconic video game franchise is essentially a reinvention of Lara Croft herself. Crystal Dynamics’ Darrell Read more »

Review: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
For the first time ever, Lara Croft has shed her Tomb Raider moniker, and taken up residence in a game that’s only available as a download. Maybe even the most radical shift of all: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is not played from a third-person perspective. Instead, it’s “isometric,” which means you play from above, looking down at an angle. And it turns out, this fresh new take on gaming’s most iconic female is exactly what the doctor ordered, because Guardian of Light absolutely cannot be missed. Read more »
Square Enix teaser page may be for new FF game for NDS
Last week, Square Enix launched a new teaser site. The original page only had a sketch of a village and a very conspicuous number “4″, but right now, a visit to the page will reveal three people — a boy wielding a sword and two girls riding atop a dragon. Quite intriguing, isn’t it? But Square Enix’s attempt at creating mystery might be all for naught. Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump may have actually jumped the gun on the company. Scans of the magazine showed Square Enix’s new game Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden for the DS. The game will be a turn based RPG that will arrive Read more »
