Eidos released a new video last week for it’s latest project, Dues Ex: Human Revolution (or Deus Ex 3 as it was called until recently).

Deus Ex is fondly remembered as one of the best first-person RPG’s ever to be made. Cool gadgets, skills and an awesome storyline makes it number one on many top 10 lists across the internet.

Deus Ex 2 (Deus Ex: Invisible War) was, in my opinion, a complete flop. It lacked the story and depth that made the first game so good.

So alas, I despaired, thinking that nothing could ever replace that original game.

However, Eidos appear to have put a lot of time and effort into making the new Deus Ex completely awesome once again. The latest trailer to be released looks fantastic. If the game looks anything like this my eyes will be orgasming while I stab people with my augmented synthetic arms.

Side note: Ion Storm who developed the first two games will not be involved in this one. Rather it is a joint effort between Eidos Montreal (Thief series) and Square Enix (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts). Let’s see if this new combo brings it!

This puppy is due out sometime next year, so try to keep your pants on for now.

Bethesda appear to be ramping up the media releases on New Vegas as the release date draws closer and closer. Gamespot were recently let loose at Fallout New Vegas as well as other prominent online gamer magazines.

One of the more recent things they announced was what would be included in their Collector’s Edition.

Thankfully it’s not just a rebranded version of the Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition (which was awesome by the way) but a series of new merchandise (that is casino themed of course) that you can add to your Fallout collection.

Included in the pack is:

• 8 Gaming Casino Chips.
  One from each of the 7 casinos found in Fallout New Vegas as well as a special Platinum Chip recreation.
• Deck of Cards.
  Use these Fallout New Vegas themed cards to challange your friends to game of Caravan which is a brand new game created for Fallout New Vegas.
• Hard Cover Novel.
  This book, called ‘All Roads’ contains some of the back stories of characters that you will meet during your trip.
• ‘Making of’ DVD.
  Looks like an interesting documentary(/marketing piece) with a look behind the scenes on the creation and development of this latest Fallout game.
• DVD copy of the game.

This looks like one of the more awesome Collector’s Edtions that I’ve seen. You can always use an extra deck of cards and I think the DVD would be really interesting to watch. I always enjoy finding out why they make certain decisions about characters, plots and objects in games.

With the release date still being listed as some time in Fall of this year, it’s time to put down that $10 to pre-order Fallout New Vegas at your favourite store.

The first paid DLC for Mass Effect 2

Bioware is expanding on their already cool game with a new playable and very shapely character, Kasumi Goto, in a new downloadable expansion called Stolen Memory.

That thieving prick!

Playing Kasumi will unlock the ability to become a master thief. You will recieve a new mission in which you will get to try out Kasumi’s new skills in stealth and deception. The mission involves recovering some data, hence the name ‘Stolen Memory’. The pack will also include a new research upgrade, a new weapon and of course and new achievement to strive for.

Price was released on Monday

Bioware has announced that this pack can be purchase for US$7.00 using points systems on the Bioware site or XBOX360. Players can expect to download and play it early April 2010.

Cool teaser video of Kasumi

Ever wanted to be James Bond… for real?

…and get this, it’s not a linear FPS either, but a full blown RPG. Can you say awesome much? While initial screenshots so that graphics not looking quite as glamorous as games like Call of Duty or the new Battlefield, the gameplay looks like it more than makes up for it. The ultra realistic hand to hand and ranged combat will definitely be leaving the FPS genre developers shaking in their boots.

Your choices throughout the game consist of (but are not limited to):

• Good spy or bad spy?
• How would you like to defeat your enemies?
  • Get up close and personal
  • Take them out from a distance
  • Use tech gadgets to sneak your way around them all together
• Slow down time and take careful aim at your enemies before taking them out in a blaze
• Fully customize your character through a brand new character creation
• Make spur of the moment decisions in the heat of the situation that could seriously effect later gameplay. Do it now!

[Hi-Ya!]

Who is making it?
This is a joint project between Sega and Obsidian. It’s great to see the old Interplay crew so busy, I just hope they can keep up with the demand of all this new work.

Alpha Protocol Release Date
Here’s what you are looking for: Thursday 27 May 2010. That will be the release date for all three platforms (PC, PS3 and Xbox360).

Pre-order it… Quick!

Without further ado…
Here is the video:

War… War never changes.

And so apparently do Fallout videos. Yes this video is definitely designed to get you excited about the new Fallout game, rather than tell you much about it. Like all other Fallout teaser videos we get the classic blues song playing over the top of a rather desolate wasteland.

What is the robot doing?

Apparently the robot is searching for precious items in the desert. The reasons behind this are unknown. It is rather neat how it can balance on one wheel though.

[Damn those pesky gecko's]

Who is making Fallout New Vegas?

Obsidian, which is mostly made up of Interplay (Fallout 1, 2 and Baldur’s Gate) team members, has been contracted by Bethesda Softworks to make this game. This is a really good thing as we will see a lot more traditional characteristics coming through in this game. Hopefully things like turn based combat, very interesting and quirky characters, and maybe some decent HtH combat.

When can we expect it?

As the video said Fall 2010. Most likely October or November.

Can we preorder it yet?

Hells yea! For you convenience I have added the Amazon and Play-Asia links below.

Take a trip into the future, a future in which everything has changed.

After the nuclear wars that nearly destroyed the planet, mankind is left barely alive. The planet is a barren wasteland in which barely anything survives anymore.

Fallout 2 is set about 80 years after the conclusion of Fallout 1. Your character is an ancestor of the Chosen One who saved Vault 13 in the first story. This time the world is a lot bigger with about 30 times more side quests.

While out on the quest for your village, you can choose be tainted by the outside world, or to rise above and become a hero. There are many towns that you can visit in your travels, including some that were in the original Fallout, although 80 years has had a remarkable impact on them.

You will enjoy many new perks, weapons and characters throughout the story. The maximum level was 12 in the original game, now it is 99 so you really can turn into the ultimate wasteland warrior/geek/charismatic hero.

As in the first Fallout, always be wary of your decisions as they could impact seriously on you further along the game. I like to use about 6 saves slots so that you can always go back if you make a decision that destroys the ability to complete a major quest.

Fallout 2

Fallout 3 was the super successful sequel to the 1990′s insanely popular RPG PC games Fallout and Fallout 2.

The background on the Fallout games is that you are set in a post-nuclear apocalypse world. The world is covered in dirt and grime (think Terminator 3). Those few who have survived the nuclear war have built small towns or taken refuge in existing buildings. In a time like this there are hero’s of the people and villains who use the unfortunate times for personal gain.

During Fallout 3 you are an inhabitant of Vault 101. The Vault’s are large underground ‘worlds’ in which some of the population sheltered during the nuclear war. Once the war was over the Vault’s were to stay closed until the fallout had settled and the air was safe to breathe. Some opened early and were overrun by bandits and mutant ani

mals, others stayed closed and were ruled by dictator like overseers. After you leave the Vault you go off on your quest, along the way picking up many side quests, meeting colourful NPCs and shooting the crap out of bad dudes.

The game is made by Bethesda rather than Black Isle you made Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. Like Bethesdas previous works (Oblivion and Morrowind), the world in which the game is contained is simply massive. There is so many random points of interest out in the wasteland. Abandoned gas stations, old manufacturing buildings, police stations, slavers, radio towers and dozens of townships are just a few of the things you may come by.

It’s not only the huge world that gives you freedom in this game. Like all of the Fallout series you are often given choices in which you can take the good, the bad or ‘I don’t give a crap’ path. Making these choices will effect how some NPCs react to you and what bonus quests will become available to you.

I really cannot recommend this game enough. If you explore this game fully it offers you hundreds of hours of game play, so in terms of value for money, it’s right up there. It is by far one the best RPG PC games of 2009.
