Remedy Teases 2013 Game Announcement January 2, 2013

Remedy has announced on their official Twitter feed that they will be announcing their new game in 2013.  Remedy, the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake have kept quiet on their next project since the release of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare and Death Rally.

However, their official Jobs page does list that they are currently working on two unannounced projects.  One is an unannounced game for iOS which would get an expected release for the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.  Remedy is not green on Apple handheld devices, they have released Death Rally on iOS and it did quite well for them.

The other unannounced project includes their next triple-a retail title which they say is going to be released on the future-generation consoles.  Currently, the only next-gen console that has been announced is the recently released Nintendo Wii U.  Since there has been no official announcement that Sony or Microsoft is even working on a future generation console, this would explain why Remedy has not yet announced the project.

Could this be the highly anticipated Alan Wake 2?  Could this be an entirely new project for a new intellectual property?  Could we see its announcement combined with a new console announcement?  We’ll find out this year!

Mario Warfare Episode 2 January 2, 2013

Beatdown Boogie has done it again.  They have released the second episode of Mario Warfare over the holiday, finally giving us a close look at the two Mario Brothers that we all know and love so much.  While the first episode set up the stakes of just what kind of trouble the Mushroom Kingdom was in, this episode features the Mario Bros doing what they do best, and I don’t mean plumbing.

If you missed it, you can watch Mario Warfare Episode 1 here.

If you really liked the film, you can support Beatdown Boogie and help them release further episodes in the series.  You can check out all the details on that here.

Dead Space 3: The Story So Far January 2, 2013

Since its release in 2008, the story of Dead Space has branched out into many different mediums beyond the original video games.  There were novels, graphic novels, animated direct-to-video features, iPhone games, mini-games and more.  It’s quite an impressive feat for such a new game property, but EA had a lot of faith in what they were releasing.

Since the Dead Space story goes beyond the games, EA decided that in anticipation for the release of Dead Space 3 next month, they would release a video to bring players both new and old back up to speed with the latest information on the Dead Space story.  They did the same thing for Dead Space 2 when that game’s demo was released, and it looks like they’re doing it again.  Take a look and remember, there will be spoilers.

Dead Space 3 is coming February 2013 to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
