BioShock Infinite - Review

Overview

Bioshock Infinite is a first-person shooter game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K Games for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It was announced on August 12, 2010 and Irrational Games used the name "Project Icarus" for describing their next game. They set up a teaser website in late July 2010. The release date is scheduled for February 26, 2013 in North America and Europe across all three platforms (PS3, Xbox 360 and PC).

Bioshock Infinite takes place on a totally different environment in comparison to other Bioshock games, but it has a similar set, the nature and the concept. It has also received many compliments earning "Best of Show" at E3 2011.

Plot

Year is 1912 and the player takes over the role of Booker DeWitt, a Pinkerton agent unfortunate. The game is set in the airborne city of Columbia, in which Booker has the task of find Elizabeth, a young lady who has been kept captive over twelve years by the beast named Songbird.

Like other BioShock games, the world of Infinity is filled with chaos is the outcome of strong ideals carried to extreme. When it arrives DeWitt, Colombia is packed with ultra-nationalism, specifically American exceptionalism, as shown by the generous number of flags, patriotic music, and advertising posters which present the view that Colombia is a "paradise" for "unwanted "in the world.

DmC: Devil May Cry – Review

DmC: Devil May Cry is an upcoming hack and slash & beat 'em up video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Capcom for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. Announced in late 2010 during the Tokyo Game Show, the game is set in an alternate reality in the Devil May Cry series. It will focus on the player character Dante, a young man with supernatural powers who finds himself under attack by a seemingly sentient town known as Limbo City populated by demons.

The first quarter release season gets started in a big way this week with the release of the highly anticipated (and controversial) DmC Devil May Cry. A parallel universe story compared to the previous titles in the series, the game is nevertheless a similar combination of high-energy combos and air juggling, with a bit of platforming action mixed in. 

We've previewed DmC Devil May Cry twice and came away with glowing impressions both times. Will it live up to the hype?

Another interesting title that's headed to the (this time, virtual) shopfront is Mitchell Corporation's Tokyo Crash Mobs. It's a funky looking game in which you need to throw people wearing like-coloured clothing at each other in order to make groups of three of them disappear. A match-three title, it's gameplay looks quite similar to Zuma - a game which Mitchell Corporation claimed was a ripoff of their earlier Puzz Loop (known as Ballistic outside of Japan), a title that Mitchell released as Magnetica on the DS in 2006.
