Just one day before the 2012 InternationalConsumer Electrontics Showkicks off, and Sony has let loose a nice little piece of information for all of you eagerPS Vitafollowers in the United States. I’m sure thatSonyand AT&T will be providing more information duringCESabout these new data plans, but being capped at only 250MB for $14.99 sounds like a rip off, unless you only plan to playLittleBigPlaneton the train ride to and from work....

This Everything Must Go sale and Chapter 11 filing are in an attempt to break away from its French parent company, Atari SA (formerly Infogrames). They want to go out on their own, raise money, and continue doing their thing, moving more into digital and mobile games. But for now, everything is on sale....

Well, it’s still here Come December, it’ll have been four yearssinceHeroes of the Stormwas given the dreaded maintenance mode treatment. While the game wasn’t abandoned, developmental assets were significantly curbed, andHeroeshasn’t had much in the way of major new content updates since. For the time being that may not change; asBlizzard is giving us a heads-upthatHeroes of the Stormwill remain online in the future, but doesn’t promise anything big. Here’s the full, far-too-brief statement: Moving forward we will supportHeroesin a manner similar to our other longstanding games,StarCraftandStarCraft II....
Call of Dutyplayers have been hoping for a glimpse atBlack Ops 7ever since it was revealed in a cinematic trailer a few years ago, and now their wish has been granted. Kind of. Accidentally. It appears that an internal developer message of the day was posted errantly onCall of Duty HQ, the hub app that all recentCoDtitles are launched out of, and players who got it were quick to take screenshots....
Not just ‘April’ now In its new “Darkness Has Spread” trailer, Namco Bandai has confirmed the final release date ofDark Souls III— July 29, 2025. Before this, the publisher had a nebulous “April” date set. It will launchon March 24 in Japan. For those who aren’t aware,this may be the last game in theSoulsseriesfor the time being. I really enjoyed the build I played earlier this year (it was basically the beta), and have high hopes for this, but I hope this isn’t the last we see ofSouls....

Following the release ofDestiny 2: The Final Shape, developer Bungie is moving the game to a new model that will ditch seasons in favor of Episodes. These are narrative arcs that last longer than seasons and should pack in a lot more story set after the expansion’s conclusion. Destiny 2has had dozens of seasons, each one slowly moving the story forward between expansions. I’ve had my battles with this model because, at times, it felt to me like I couldn’t play anything else if I wanted to make the most of them....
There are death-defying riddles to solve Disc Roomis an action-survival game from a crew of talented indie developers, and for me, that would’ve been enough – but there’s also a deeper layer to uncover. It’s not just a bunch of rooms. This narrated trailer is our best look yet atDisc Room, one that goes beyond the surface-level to show the game’s secret sauce. I like the sound of obtuse puzzles and brainy exploration in an otherwise straightforward arcade game....
Time to bang us a Yangus When it was first released on the PS2 in 2004,Dragon Quest VIIIdefiantly stood apart from the sea of pseudo-realistic, cut scene heavy RPGs and action games that largely populated the console at that time. It aspired to offer players polygon-based characters that worked hard to replicate illustrator Akira Toriyama’s signature 2D style, a big, open world to explore, and just enough story to allow players to stay anchored to the game’s setting, but not so much that they felt weighed down....
Dragon’s Dogma 2shows strength mechanics-wise, but many are already touting it as a GOTY contender, and a game shouldn’t get that kind of buzz just by doing things right. Luckily,Dragon’s Dogmapushes well beyond the confines of what we see as a “great game” via some awesomely surprising mechanics. In a time when publishers like to disrespect the gods of surprise by showing off every little detail of the game to maximize initial sales,Dragon’s Dogma2 has the guts to not disclose all of its intricacies right off the gate....
I had ignoredSpec Ops: The Linewhen I first heard about it, due entirely to the fact that it hadSpec Opsin the title, and thus made itself sound like the world’s most generic military shooter. Then I heard you could drown your enemies under tons of sand. I started paying attention. So it has come to pass that I swung by 2K Games’ booth to check outSpec Ops: The Line. I got to watch a demo run of the game in order to learn about the story, the gunfire and, of course, the tons of sand....
