Bioshock Infinite Truth From Legend Documentary January 28, 2013

Imagine for a second that the city of Columbia as depicted in the upcoming game Bioshock Infinite was real.  In the first Bioshock game Rapture was a city on the bottom of the ocean, in Bioshock Infinite, Columbia is a city in the sky.  How could such a city be created?  What would cause them to leave?  What would the rest of the world say about them?

Columbia: A Modern Day Icarus is an in-universe documentary which talks about the origins of the city of Columbia, the fictional city in the clouds you will be visiting in Bioshock Infinite.

The video does leave the possibility that more videos in this style may be coming, which hopefully will give further information about the history of the city.

Bioshock: Infinite is coming March 26th, 2013 to the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Dead Space 3 Launch Trailer January 28, 2013

We’re days away from the release of Dead Space 3 and EA has released the game’s official launch trailer to celebrate.

Every once in a while a game trailer or gameplay moment will come around which has a song tied to it that complements the scene perfectly.  It amplifies the feelings it is trying to convey at the moment and impacts us better than we ever could imagine.  What could possibly make this amazing montage of CGI and gameplay footage better?  Phil Collins.  I don’t know how they made it work but they did.  Give it a watch!

Dead Space 3 is coming February 5th, 2013 to the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Game Feature Trailers January 27, 2013

For those of you who may be interested in the new gameplay for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Konami has released three separate trailers on their Official YouTube Channel detailing all the new things that you’ll be able to do in the game.  This ranges from new features that we already saw in the official demo, like Blade Mode and the AR visor, to new locations we haven’t seen before.  Give them a look.

If you want to give the game a test drive before release, you can download the demo for free on through Xbox Live Marketplace or the Playstation Network Store.  If just a regular version of the game isn’t enough for you, a Limited Edition of the game will be released at launch and include the game’s soundtrack and a replica of Raiden’s sword encased in a Plasma Lamp.

Any customers who preorder the game will also score some exclusive DLC depending on their choice of retailer while supplies last.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is coming February 19th, 2012 to the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Demo Released January 25, 2013

The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo has been released for free on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 and you can download it right now.  Previously, this demo had only been released with the Zone of the Enders HD Collection in November, but now everyone can enjoy it, including people who don’t want to load up their ZOE: HD discs to play the demo.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a spinoff from the Metal Gear Solid series and follows the character of Raiden after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.  Cyborg augmentation has become the newest commodity for Private Military Companies and Raiden has taken it upon himself to make those upgrades to his body in order to compete in this new world order.  It is developed by Platinum Games, the makers of Bayonetta, and produced by Konami.

As of the time of writing, the demo was listed on the front page of the Xbox 360 dashboard upon Xbox Live login.  I had to do a bit of a search for it on the PS3 store, but that was probably because I’m still not used to the new Playstation Network Store interface.  Regardless, it can be found no problem with a manual search of the game’s name.  For those of you who may have a lack of storage space on your consoles, here’s a heads up.  The demo is 3.4 GB on the PS3.  It is 1.86GB on the Xbox 360.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is coming February 19th, 2013 to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
