Deadpool Video Game Announced, Trailer

After one of our favourite Marvel characters appeared, then was butchered in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, then a great guest spot in the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions game, finally, Deadpool is getting his own video game.

Deadpool: The Game is being developed by High Moon Studios (Transformers: Fall of Cybertron) and will arrive in 2013, presumably on PS3, Xbox 360 and possibly PC and Wii U, although no platforms have officially been announced.

In the trailer below, you'll notice it seems that the voice of the Merc with a Mouth appears to be Nolan North, (famous for being Nathan Drake in Uncharted) who also played Deadpool in Shattered Dimensions, and the animated movie Hulk vs Wolverine.

The Walking Dead Video Game Teaser Trailer (video)

Announced by Activision on July 6, 2012, The Walking Dead Video Game (not to be confused with Telltale Games The Walking Dead Game) will star the Dixon brothers: Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle Dixon. The timeline of this game takes place before the beginning of the TV series, focusing on the two brothers' journey to Atlanta.

The game is a new first-person shooter based on the TV storyline of The Walking Dead, and whilst the game is all in first-person, the gameplay is much more akin to a survival horror, where resources like food and ammunition will be scarce and must be managed, as well as the brothers ability to either take down the walkers (zombies) or use stealth to slip past the undead.

OFFICIAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The iconic walkers will relentlessly hunt down players like their television counterparts, using a combination of sight, sound and smell. As Daryl, players will need to tread carefully throughout each new area they explore. Once discovered, it doesn't take much to attract an unstoppable horde of undead walkers, so every threat needs to be assessed, and every situation analyzed. Players will have to choose between whether to stay and fight while risking a gruesome death or using stealth to avoid the undead. No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.

The Walking Dead: The Game: Episode 2: Starved for Help Review (Ps3)

The second of five downloadable episodes, Starved for Help picks up three months after the zombie apocalypse broke out in Episode 1 of The Walking Dead, still playing as protagonist Lee Everett, protecting Clementine, and dealing with a group of survivors assembled at a makeshift fortress that used to be a motel.

The Walking Dead: The Game is all about choice and consequence, and in Episode 2, we get to see just how our choices have panned out. In a "Previously, on the Walking Dead", we see all the choices we made from Episode 1 carried over to the next instalment. This is a game where you don't get a second chance to say/do something (without starting a new game). You have a limited time to to make a choice that will influence your friends and make new enemies.

Starved for Help opens with a truly horrific moment (if you choose to play it that way) and after the gut wrenching blood bath is over, you then have to make a moral decision: The group's nearly out of food, and when it's up to you to choose which few survivors get rations for the day, you have to figure out if you're playing favorites or focusing on the greater good of the group. If you're smart, you can figure out a way to make the majority of people happy (or even take some food yourself).

Episode 2 gives us, for the first time, the real chance to decide if Lee's going to be an upstanding person or a survivor willing to do anything to live another day. It's the first time a game has had me debating whose side I was on and turning my back on established relationships, genuinely moving me in some cases. I can't think of another game that had me establish a character I thought I knew and had a connection with, then have me re-thinking big decisions a few scenes later, even though I knew I couldn't change it.

When a new group of survivors from the St. John's Dairy Farm show up and invite your group to come over and trade gas for food, you're left with the decisions of obviously taking their offer, or the unknown of whether or not you can trust these random strangers. The group needs food, you're pretty much out, and with the world gone to hell, you're going to need all the supplies you can get to keep your group alive, but are these guys legit?

Whatever choice you make, Episode 2 will shock you to your very core.

The most shocking entry so far, Starved For Help is a brilliant new episode of the Walking Dead game, and also the most brutal.

Spec Ops: The Line: Preview

We put 2K Games latest offering through its paces, does it fare better or worse than the post-apocalyptic war zone it offers?

Spec Ops: The Line is a change from the usual dirt and brick of modern warfare to a post-apocalyptic kingdom of tarnished gold and sand-battered chrome. We're in Dubai, and things are looking terribly opulent. Towers that once proudly scratched the sky are now buried and bridged by extreme dunes and deadly sandstorm. The few survivors huddle in boutiques, with the wealth around them meaning sweet F.A compared to the value of basic water.

Spec Ops: The Line isn't your average shooter, it's bleak, it's dark, and it wants you to think, and not just about your choice of weapons.

In the preview I played, I started up in the air, taking out enemy helicopters over Dubai in spectacular action movie fashion with dust storms, huge explosions, and destroyed skyscrapers in the distance, before one collided with my veichle. Transcending into present time, I found myself assuming the role of protagonist Captain Martin Walker along with Lugo and Adams who are in search of John Conrad (the soldier who went down in the chopper).

You're quickly shown the ropes of how to use command tactics, that whilst they take some getting used to, they serve their purpose well. Fighting against rebels in the first portion of the demo and then PMC soldiers in the second part, Lugo and Adams help you in what are otherwise a bleak and intermittent situations; and you're more than grateful.

The settings in Spec Ops: The Line are quite impressive, with levels that see you fighting in a wrecked airliner, around skyscrapers (outside and inside), all very nicely rendered, although a gripe with the graphics, are the characters faces, that can seem a little waxy, but I'm hoping this is fixed with the full release.

Spec-Ops: The Line does have a real sense of scope and scale during some repelling down skyscraper sequences. Fighting in destroyed Dubai with the sand storms and the ability to use sand as a weapon adds a small unique gameplay element, and adds an extra plus to how you'll tactility use your environment.

From what I played, The Line went to a good length showcasing many gameplay elements and story, that although was rough around the edges, was enjoyable. Full review up soon!
