PS3, X360- Dragon's Dogma
- Review
- Capcom has delivered an open-world game with tremendously fun combat, a hilariously crazy ending, and not much else.
PS3, X360, PC- Game of Thrones
- Review
- There is probably a great role-playing game to be made out of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but Game of Thrones isn't it.
MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
This long-awaited new entry in the XCOM franchise is currently being developed by 2K Marin and mixes FPS action with tactical management and open mission areas.
Overview
At this current time, little is known about 2K Marin's retelling of the original XCOM game. It is set in the early 1960s.
Gameplay
While the core gameplay is very much like a shooter, XCOM still has some similarities to previous entries in the franchise in terms of mission structure. Taking the role of secret FBI agent William Carter, the player must carry out research at the task-force headquarters, track the radio and radar for alien activity and perform field investigations to ensure that the task force gets proper funding to stay on top of their game. The game also features R.P.G. progression elements and squad based combat. However, details of these systems will work have not been released.
Aliens
So far, two species of aliens have been confirmed by the developers.
- Black blob creature - Some kind of ground-based alien goo.
- Floating shape-shifting monolith - Possibly a vehicle that can shoot a deadly death ray to obliterate people and possibly buildings.
- Shape-shifting turrets that can be captured and researched for use by x com forces.
- "Infected" humans that are being controlled by the aliens.
