But they didn’t call it BioShock 3. They’re calling it BioShock Infinite and it will be out in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. There’s no in-game footage for public consumption yet, but there is a pretty CG teaser.
At first glance it looks like BioShock in the sky. According to previews and interviews, it will feature an A.I. partner named Elizabeth whom you’re trying to rescue from this floating city of Columbia.
I can’t say I’m excited yet, because there’s nothing to get excited about. There’s a new BioShock game coming out and it’s coming out in 2012 — that’s a long way’s away.
Guild Wars was my first and only “MMORPG”. It wasn’t really any MMO though since it was instanced. Guild Wars 2 is addressing that along with many other things which traditional MMORPG haters gripe out about including grinding and repetitive missions.
Guild Wars 2 will continue the tradition of no monthly fees which is a big plus in my books. But will ArenaNet substitute monthly fees with expansion packs like they did with the original or will they go the micro-transaction route? I’m hoping for the latter which I heard they started to do with the original.

The marketing ramp up for Black Ops begins with a multiplayer teaser.
Looks very familiar, but there are subtle differences like a cleaner looking interface, new kill streaks, smiley face reticles etc. But, the big reveal is the inclusion of saved replays.
I’ll quote my NeoGAF post:
Kudos to Treyarch for bringing the community features to the franchise. I don’t understand why IW never did any of these things. WaW brought online stat tracking and now they’re bringing replays.
So if we continue this pattern: MW3 will have none of these and the next Treyarch production will have their “Forge” mode?
I’m actually looking forward to the September 1 multiplayer reveal. It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve tweaked.
Disappointed by the Fable III delay for PC? Fear not. This opening cinematic for the game may cheer you up. I really enjoyed it. Has lots of that Fable charm.
Fable III is still slated for October 26, 2010 for the Xbox 360. The PC date has yet to be announced.
We wanted to play Borderlands on PC. Simple enough, right? I wanted to play on my new couch setup and thus I wanted to use my new Bluetooth receiver and use that to pair my PlayStation headset for voice chat.
That didn’t work out so well.
The sound quality was terrible and there was nothing I could do to adjust the mic’s sensitivity. After 30 minutes of trying I gave up only to discover that Borderlands’ built-in voice chat didn’t even work. Instead of trying to get a Vent server or some other PC voice chat service, I convinced the guys to use our PS3′s and start a voice chat room. It worked fine afterwards.
I was on my couch playing Borderlands on my PC with an Xbox 360 wireless controller, an official PlayStation Bluetooth headset and using my PlayStation 3 as voice chat server. Talk about ridiculous.
It didn’t need to be this way though. PC’s are supposed to be very accommodating and open to scenarios such as my own. But, that’s not the case at all and that’s one reason why so many people get discouraged with PC gaming.
Modern Warfare 2′s single player wasn’t as amazing as its predecessor, but it was still worth the time. And while I didn’t even give Call of Duty: World at War’s campaign the time of day, I’m actually looking forward to seeing what Call of Duty: Black Ops has to offer.
Check out this trailer.
Not too shabby. Familiar, but still intriguing. I just hope they try to stay as grounded in reality as possible.
A few game details have emerged including four player co-op and dedicated servers to support this endeavor.
Call of Duty: Black Ops will debut on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii (yes, there’s a Wii version) on November 9, 2010.
