one for all and ALL 4 ONE!

Ratchet & Clank are back and Insomniac games are releasing Resistance 3 aswell, two full games of both series in one year! normally they make one game of each franchise once in the two years, so everyone was supprised with the announcement of R&C: all 4 one but this time it comes with a (good) twist!

In all 4 one the player isn't alone anymore! After a failed experiment of Dr. Nefarious Ratchet, Clank and Captain Qwark need to cooperate with their worst enemy... Dr.Nefarious. (shocker... right there)
In this experiment Dr. Nefarious made a machine which is to capture all three of his enemies, although they all get caught together and they now need to work together to escape from the machine and get back home.

The co-op in this game is very rich and  the game it self is build around a co-op multiplayer game in which four players take each of the roles presented in the game. This co-op is aswell on- as offline with a drop-in, drop-out function this means you can start co-op or end it when ever you feel like it.

Ghost Recon Online

I'm not the tipical shooter fan and especially not the Ghost Recon games but the fans of the Ghost Recon games seemed to have to wait for a long time until a new release after the news that future soldier was delayed yet again! But last month Ubisoft announced there latest project of the franchise!

Ubisoft announced that Ubisoft Singapore is currently working on Ghost Recon Online, this will be a free to play online shooter in a third person setting which will only be released for PC.

The game knows all features we know from all the populair free to play game a lobby to keep track of the activities withing the game, rooms for matches and ofcourse a "shop". In this shop players can adjust there  ghost and weapons to suite there playstyle. To expand the experience players can buy a premium account, there isn't much info available about these permium accounts although I guess we can expect are the ussual increased experience, more weapons and additional ghosts to play with.

To join the beta which is starting this month click here.
Happy shooting!

Rayman origins a "real" rayman game... ? The first look

As alot of gamers out on the big blue planet earth I aswell have a soft spot for the original Rayman. It was in my opinion the best 2d platform game ever and if we may believe Ubisoft "the real" Rayman is coming back...


Nine out of ten gamers out here can recall the original Rayman a creative collorfull game with a shitload of strange characters! And lets not forget the difficulty of the game... The first few world where peanuts thats true, but after those the real work began which I miss so much in the games of these days. Although the second part inspired by Super Mario 64 went to a 3d setting which ruined it for most of us, the feeling just vanished into thin air!

But it seems Ubisoft will give the community what she wants with Rayman origins! This game was supposed to be sold on PSN and Xbox live, but after the first real tests the reactions where so good that they decided to make it a full game. When I first saw the game it suprised me... The cartoony style in 1080p is really amazing the details just make this game one of his kind and the hillarious sound and tunes which we can all remember they're all back and they're here to stay.

Thanks Ubisoft!

Metal Gear Solid HD collection

One of the biggest franchisses of Konami is Metal gear solid, with several games on the Ps1, Ps2, PsP, PS3 and even mobile phones! Konami decided to remaster a few of the masterpieces to todays standards.


Konami announced the release of MGS HD collection for the PS3 and Xbox 360, in this collection are included:
Metal gear solid 2
Metal gear solid 3
Metal gear solid Peace walker

Each of the above named titles are remastered and rebuild for todays standards, this means the games will be different from the old ones new artwork, new interfaces and achievements and trophies! (Which they have "forgotten" in Metal gear solid 4...)

I'm looking forward to it can't wait till november!

Rift

Oke so i've decided to start with Rift and since I've got a blog now I'll keep you updated and what not!
So far I've played the Beta although didn't have enough time to pickup the retail game when it released so better late then never!
 
I really do hope the PvE experience will satisfy me as I'm a hardcore PvE-er, I do hope I will find the "old" World of Warcraft feeling like AQ40... But I guess I'll find that out soon enough!

By the way,
if there are any Rifters here, which souls should I pick i really loved a tank Warrior/Paladin in wow and i dont know if there are similar souls in Rift so tips are welcome!
