I found an awesome YouTube video showing a guy playing through the full prologue of the awesome looking Dead Island. It's looking pretty cool.

Playstation 4, arrives 2012?!

It seems that the Playstation 4 may be arriving in 2012!

It seems that the Playstation 3's life may soon be over... With all of the problems that Sony is having, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumor is true. GameSpot says that it was found out through some component makers in Taiwan that said they're beginning work on the next console!

We'll just have to wait and see if it's true or not, but I hope some stuff about it is leaked before the actual release so I can get some specs or some details or something! Also, GameSpot says it's motion control-based, so it may be like a better graphics version of Playstation Move, but combined into the system.

Portal 2, DLC will be free

Portal 2 came out not too long ago, but Valve has already announced that they're releasing DLC (downloadable content) for the game. Now, it has been revealed that the DLC will be free - and they didn't specify a console, so I'm guessing that means it's free on PC, PS3 and 360.

I'm surprised, because Valve usually only gives it away for free on PC and has to charge on the 360 to cover costs of releasing on the platform; however, this time they have released a game on all three platforms, two of which have Steam - allowing for instant updates through their own systems and cross-platform play between PS3 and PC.

Marvel Universe Online, Trailer

Here is an awesome trailer for the new MMO, Marvel Universe Online. It has superheroes from a lot of the Marvel comics, movies, cartoons, video games, etc. It's awesome! Here is is:

Marvel Universe, Free to Play

Marvel Universe, an upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online game, is going to be free to play. That means that there will be no monthly fee whatsoever; however, games like these suffer from the fact that they will need to continue to sell in game items and merchandise just to stay afloat.

So, is this a good idea? I think it is for the consumers, but will the game be good at all? We'll see...

Crysis 2 Editor, Releasing for FREE

Crysis 2's editor is going to be released free of charge. Cryengine 3 looks very amazing and I really hope that people are going to take advantage of this awesome piece of software to make their own games. I know that I'll at least check it out, to see how easy it is to use.

I've made levels in video games before, for fun; I've also worked for a video game company, Reverie World Studios. It's an awesome thing to go and make your own world, and I really want to give it a go in this awesome editor for Crysis 2...

Gears of War 3 Beta, win a FREE beta key

I have searched around the internet for ways to get a beta key for Gears of War 3; there is the option of buying the Bulletstorm Epic Edition, or you can simply win it for FREE from one of these contests. There is no reason to buy stuff, unless you can afford it; you are guaranteed to get a beta key if you buy Bulletstorm Epic Edition, but not if you enter a contest.

So here are a few different places to visit to figure out about how to win a FREE beta key, instead of having to buy your way in. You can like them on FaceBook (like all four of their pages) OR send a status on Twitter with hashtag #Gears3Beta

Portal 2 is coming in a few days!

Portal 2 is coming in the next few days, and I really can't wait! My older bro and I decided to buy the game together to get 20% off each copy! That means we saved $20 all together. Steam has sales like that all the time, except that they're usually far bigger sales saving you even more money. Sometimes, games will be sold at dirt cheap prices like $2.50, even when their retail price is 29.99 or even 59.99.

I wonder how rich that dude that owns most of Steam is? Gabe Newell is the guy. I remember reading one time that he probably has made over $1,000,000,000 dollars off of it (or close to it, anyway). Nonetheless, let's get back to that awesome game of Portal 2, which the article is titled.

Portal had that awesome computer GlaDos and her android test subject, Chell; Chell is returning in this game, along with GlaDos. Two new characters, robots, will be brought in as well. There are two campaigns in the game - the single player featuring Chell, GlaDos and a new robot. Coop - you must play this mode with another person (I'll be playing with my brother that I bought the game with), and you play as the two new robot characters.

This game has about four times the content of Portal, because each new campaign is about double the length of Portal. I really hope the story in Portal 2 is as awesome as it was in the first one! Valve is very good at telling stories without blatantly saying it in the game, like most companies would. Valve reveals it through gameplay, characters, environments, dialog, etc.

I'm sure it'll be awesome. :D

p.s. buying the PS3 version gets you the PC and Mac version free!!! (NOT the other way around, though..)
