Cyber Monday, the Internet’s answer to the grand celebration of consumerism that is Black Friday, is upon us, and if you were unwilling to brave the crowds a few days ago but still would like to take advantage of some great deals on games and gaming products, we’ve put together a list of some of the best values out there. Take a look at the offers!
The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to impress us, and with the last major release arguably the strongest the franchise has ever seen, well, needless to say we are anxiously awaiting any bit of news about a possible fifth game in the series.
So, while it’s not like Rockstar has come out with a big revelation about the next GTA, Computer and Video Games does report that GameStop Germany lists the release date as January 15, 2012.
Mass Effect has proven itself to be an engaging and unique franchise that has provided gamers with plenty of entertainment, but for most of us, it seemed to be common knowledge that the upcoming third entry would mark the end point for the series. However, that may not precisely be the case; Computer and Video Games reports that the good people over at Bioware have been pondering what directions they could take the games in the future.
It’s not over just yet, folks.
It’s midweek and that means you might’ve missed some recent news. Let’s get you up to speed by starting with a Wii price cut coming soon to a retail store near you. We’ll move on for a remake of Dead Rising 2 featuring the camera-touting Frank West then we’ll end with a list of the first confirmed ten fighters for Street Fighter X Tekken.
The technology of Kinect is definitely impressive–if you don’t think so, you haven’t been looking it up on the internet enough–but as of now, you could be justified for being reluctant to pick one up; there just aren’t enough games available yet to make it truly revolutionary.
Thankfully, we have games like Rise of Nightmares to look forward to, and according to G4 it may finally have a release date.
Batman: Arkham City looks as though it will be at least as good as its surprisingly stellar predecessor, but according to G4, we have reason to believe that there may be yet another Batman game in the works.
This conclusion was arrived at when it was discovered that Warner Bros. has registered a few interesting domains, with names like BatmanHush.com, and, more interestingly, BatmanHushGame.com.
The Call of Duty franchise, despite giving us the relatively disappointing Black Ops recently, remains the reigning champ of the first-person shooter genre as of now. However, we all know that whether your series is an FPS or an RPG, in the gaming world it is just a matter of time before someone else comes along and claims your crown.
Well, according to IGN, the folks at Electronic Arts hope that Battlefield 3, which now has a confirmed November 2011 release date, will do just that.
Max Payne 3 is indeed on its way. Recently we reported that a couple of screenshots revealed via the official Rockstar Studios Twitter account suggested that the game was still very much in development.
Now, according to Computer and Video Games, we’ve got confirmation of that news, as well as some cool details about the game itself.
Max Payne may have suffered the indignity of a horrendously embarassing cinematic adaptation that nearly crushed all the goodwill Marky Mark had cultivated since Boogie Nights, but plenty of video games have been subject to similar ordeals–the abomination that was the Super Mario Bros. movie didn’t kill the game franchise upon which it was based, and while the Max Payne series certainly isn’t as iconic as the Mario games, it has served up enough entertainment to recover from that minor tragedy.
However, fans of the franchise were disappointed when it was announced that the third entry in the series was put on hold. Thankfully, some screenshots, courtesy of IGN, indicate that the project is still in development.
