Unleash Your Rage Upon The Gods In Asura’s Wrath

Asura’s Wrath is just the game I needed to see at E3 this year. For the most part the entire show has been pretty stock. Sure its always interesting to catch a glimpse of something new from games like Gears of War 3 or Uncharted 3 but for the most part we already know they will probably be quality titles and just from playing previous entries in either series can tell just how they going to play. In the context of E3 they just are not the type of game I want to see. Asura’s wrath however, is unlike anything you could have seen before.

The game is off the charts in terms of scale and sheer amount of craziness contained in it. The art style alone is incredibly unique. It meshes Japanese mythology with a healthy dose of sci-fi to create an image that is individual to anything you could have really seen before. Capcom’s Kazuhiro Tsuchiya spoke about the art style as something that was sprouted by an inital desire to have no influence from any other games to come through. They wanted to create something completely new for Asura’s Wrath and they have,for the most part, achieved that.

13 Minutes with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

The pre-requisite Call Of Duty game for this year’s E3 is Modern Warfare 3, but it might as well just be calledCoD: The New One given the predictable release schedule for the series.  In fact, Activision should probably adopt the Madden naming system, and just go with Call of Duty 2011.  Regardless, CoD: More Of The Same still looks quite good, and with the E3 video below, you can take a peek at thirteen minutes of the single-player campaign.

New Gears of War 3 details from Cliff Bleszinski

Holy crap that was hard to keep up with, I wasn’t expecting so much information to be announced about the game. The vast majority of the it is for Horde mode, which sounds absolutely brilliant. He also hints at the possibility of another Gears title, we already know about the Kinect one, so maybe they will go the prequel route, which would be a pretty great direction for them to go in.

Ms. ‘Sposion Man In Action

If the XBLA platformer had too much testosterone for you, there’s a sequel coming that has all the flowers, ribbons, and make-up you could ever ask for.  Ms. ‘Splosion Man adds a Girl Power twist to the exploding person genre and you can get a look at the pink and sparkly gameplay in this E3 trailer.  Expect both praise and condemnation from women in all aspects of the media.

DC Reboot – The Legion, Young Justice and Liefeld?

I hope you weren’t liking Hawk and Dove because Liefeld is about to make them look like the 90’s! The announcements keep pouring in from DC and sure enough Scott Lobdell is working on Teen Titans, eh, Young Justice. Gotta brand them properly for the TV show right? I’d have to say that Teen Titans is the only good announcement from this batch. Seeing Paul Levitz take on the Legion for the millionth time just isn’t interesting. Are there going to be a 100 members? Are they going to talk about their time with Superman? Probably since there’s two books. I don’t know what DC is think giving Liefeld a shot at a monthly book and considering how popular Dove is from Brightest Day, you’d think they’d want to keep her looking… modern. It’s probably one of the worst reboot images so far since they actually look older than they did in Brightest Day and Birds of Prey. More announcements later today I’m sure, in the meantime enjoy the covers and vague descriptions provided by DC.

3DS Lineup Announced at E3

It was a big surprise to see the 3DS launch without the obligatory Nintendo lineup of revamped classics.  No Mario Kart 3D?  No Super Mario Brothers 3D?  No Link, Zelda, Pikachu, or Metroid?  Inconceivable!  But don’t worry, just as you’re getting bored of Super Street Fighter IV, Nintendo has announced the inevitable titles you’ve been waiting for.

Nintendo Announces New Pronoun

Proving that they are determined to find the worst possible names for all of their products, Nintendo announced that their next console will be called the “Wii U”.  Get it?  “We, You”?  I am not making that up.  If you can get over the silly name, there are three important things to know about the new pronoun.

Green Wake #3 – Review

Recently Green Wake was picked up as a new ongoing series from Image and Shadowline and the reason is because it’s one of the best new series of the year. It’s definitely one of the best books being published from Image and company on a monthly base. The series shows that story and art are equally important in a series and that there should always be a fine balance between the two.

Blue Estate #3 – Review

Upon finishing this issue I asked myself, “Where is this story going?” The novelty of the series is wearing thin as it continues to make fun of actors past their prime in this alternate fan fiction story that has more characters then scenes good enough to use said characters in. Really this series reminds me of the movie Big Trouble, only with more drugs, sex and violence. Ask yourself, if you added those three things to Big Trouble would the movie somehow be better? Or even good? If you found yourself saying yes, then you’re probably one of the people buying this book, which has developed a fan base of sorts.

Green Lantern Affinity – Parallax

As you may know, Parallax is one of the main villains of the new Green Lantern movie. What you may not know is that the character actually started out as Hal Jordan himself. Internal struggle isn’t even the half of it.
