Comments of the Week 58: Lateness is apparently an option

I am down with the sickness, unfortunately According to my doctor, since I have lost my job I have been working my body too hard and am now suffering the consequences: tonsillitis and a head cold, as well as consistent fatigue, has done a real number on me over the past two days. My day, before falling ill, consisted of job interviews (at least one a day) on top of exercising, socialising, gaming, working on my final dissertation project for next year, and applying for internships (which only led to more interviews)....

Dynasty Warriors for PS Vita inspired by Infinity Blade?

Two new gameplay videos have surfaced for the PlayStation Vita version ofDynasty Warriors, and while one of them shows more traditional hack n’ slash action, it would appear that one-on-one duels with rival officers take a leaf fromInfinity Blade‘s book. The above bout between Zhao Yun and Lu Bu shows slashing and tapping touch controls from a fixed perspective, evoking thoughts of ChAIR’s incredibly popular iOS game. I dislike how Omega Force regularly refuses to put a “real”Dynasty Warriorsgame on mobile devices, but I’m strangely okay with this....

Half-Life: Alyx gets three new gameplay videos, each one unique in its own way

Catch these hands It feels surreal to talk about a newHalf-Lifegame as something that’s definitely launching before the month is over.Half-Life: Alyxis nearly here, and Valve has three new gameplay videos to give us a sample platter of what we can expect. These three extended clips each exist to show off a different type of locomotion within VR.

Heavy Rain screens just the kind of downpour I was hoping for

Heavy Rainis, without a doubt, exactly the type of game that gets me all hot and bothered — it deviates from the averagely successful modern game completely, choosing to strongly favor story over gameplay. A lot of gamers will think it’s the most uninteresting thing ever and complain that “playing a movie” sounds stupid, but since gamers complain about everything, you shouldn’t take those comments to heart too much. If you’ve already seen video for the demo shown at Leipzig, you will recognize these stills, which were taken from that very demo....
