Video: Five minutes of Mirror’s Edge

July 30, 2008

Filed under: News, Videos

Embedded after the break is 316 seconds of in-game footage from DICE’s Mirror’s Edge that was demoed during E3. And while this isn’t super new news, this is the first time we had a chance to view Faith’s impressive five minute adventure and we figured we’d share it with those who haven’t had a opportunity to view it either. There’s plenty of jumping, sliding, enemy kicking and color coded obstacles to take in, so make your way to the break and complete your Mirror’s Edge video viewing. If you don’t watch the footage then Faith will be sad. You don’t want to make Faith sad, now … do you

Patched SSFIITHDR beta extended into Sept

July 29, 2008

Filed under: News, Xbox Live Arcade

All along we were under that the soon to be patched Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix beta would be wrapping up towards the end of August. Maybe that was the initial plan, but now Capcom has had a change of heart by extending the beta window. September 5th is the new beta end date which we suspect the promised patch has something to do with. Speaking of patch, if you haven’t already checked it out, the Capcom folks outlined all the updates and changes that’ll be implemented. Have a happy August.

Reminder: Gamestop’s Gears of War 2 event tonight

July 29, 2008

Filed under: News

Just in case you somehow forgot, even then we told you to mark it on your calendar and circle it twice, there’s a Gears of War 2 After Hours event going on tonight at 9:30PM held at Gamestop stores nationwide. True, we’ve already been given the distinct honor of viewing the exclusive video clip prior to its official airing tonight, but there’s also some Gears of War tournament goodness going down too. You could win a t-shirt or some Microsoft points and maybe even mingle with some fellow Gearheads. It’ll be fun, we plomise. Heck, we’ll even commit to attending an After Hours event in central Minnesota. We’re cool enough to attend … are you

Shipping this week: Now with more Yoda edition

July 28, 2008

Filed under: News, Shipping this week

This is it folks, this week officially marks the release of Soul Calibur IV. You might recall SCIV as the weapons based fighter that features not only ridiculously proportioned female fighters but also Yoda. The Playstation 3 version gets Darth Vader himself, though he might be Force choking his way to the 360 if rumors are to be believed. Also on the release this week are Spectral Force 3 and Summer Athletics The Ultimate Challenge. Spectral Force 3 is a Japanese strategy RPG and Summer Athletics The Ultmate Challenge is … well, honestly, we have no idea. Looking at the title, we’d state someone is looking to cash in on the Olympic Games.

Rumored GH World Tour set list is fake

July 28, 2008

Filed under: News

We hope you weren’t excited by the supposed Guitar Hero World Tour set list that was ‘leaked’ yesterday. Activision and Red Octane have made it known that the list, which included artists like Tool and The Doors, is a fake. A representative informed Game Informer (see what we did there) that while some of the songs on the list will make it into the game, namely Van Halen’s “Hot for Instructor,” the majority of the list is “wishful thinking and pure speculation.”

But hey, we know it will have “Hot for Instructor,” right That counts for something. Now all we have to do is get Activision to confirm the rest of the set list … one song at a time.

Splinter Cell: Conviction delayed into 09′ … GASP!

July 27, 2008

Filed under: News

There were rumors floating around and now we have the ability to finally confirm the news. Splinter Cell: Conviction is delayed once again. Gasp!

In their just released first quarter fiscal report, Ubisoft made mention that Splinter Cell: Conviction is still alive (phew!) and that it has been delayed once again (aww, shucks) possibly into 2010 (wah). According to Ubi, they’ve pushed back its release to “bolster the line-up for fiscal 2009-10″, meaning that the earliest we’ll see Sam Fisher and hear his new voice will be April 2009. We’ve made the executive decision to place Conviction alongside Alan Wake in the 360’s exclusive vaporware catalog.
