Things That Bump In The Night…The Darkness II At NYCC
Upon spotting The Darkness II booth at New York ComicCon you may have thought that you stumbled across the mid-convestion security booth, with all of the consoles, workers and players surrounded by thick, iron bars. After passing through the turn style, however the PR people from Digital Extremes and 2K games were more than willing to give us some one-on-one time with the game, explaining some of the changes they’ve made as well as some incredibly different, yet not immediately noticeable design changes.
Why Max Payne 3 Is A Game You Should Keep Your Sights On
Max Payne is the franchise known for its gritty noir elements and comic book-style cut scenes. It introduced gamers to the bullet time, which allowed us to choreograph our gunfights with finer control over aiming and shooting. It is Rockstar’s aim that Max Payne 3 maintain those fundamental characteristics and after watching their demonstration at NYCC, I’m confident that fans of the original games will feel right at home with Max Payne 3.
The Old Republic At New York ComicCon

Hard Reset May Just Give You A Hard On (Hands-On Preview)
Hard Reset was one of those games that just completely popped out of nowhere. The trailers looked promising but with so little information on what the game was about, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. So what do you get when you put certain members from People Can Fly (Bulletstorm, Painkiller), CDProjekt RED (Witcher, Witcher 2), and City Interactive (Sniper: Ghost Warrior) together and call them Flying Wild Hog?

GB@E3: Aliens – Colonial Marines Impressions
GameBlurb had a chance to sit down for a behind closed doors look at Aliens: Colonial Marines. In most interviews, we were with other press only, and had a chance to ask lots of in-depth questions, but with Aliens, we were grouped together with non-press too, and hence there wasn’t a Q&A session like the other interviews. That means all my questions are here for you to read and ponder too.
