Capcom announces new Strider game for current, next-gen consoles, PC
Capcom announced today at Comic-Con that they are bringing one of their classic franchises, Strider, back to consoles. The franchise, which hasn’t seen a new entry since Strider 2 released for the original PlayStation in 2000 (unless you count his appearance in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, will be released on the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One in early 2014. This new entry is in development at Double Helix Games, the same company behind Microsoft’s Killer Instinct reboot.
Judging by the trailer, the new Strider appears to retain the classic 2D feel, albeit with a fresh coat of HD paint. Enjoy!
Animal Crossing: New Leaf Review: No Place Like Home
Let me get a little personal before this review begins. My regular, full-time job is that of an automobile claims adjuster. My day consists of assisting people whose lives have been turned upside-down by getting into automobile accidents. People react to these situations very differently, and at times I have no choice but to be a punching bag for some. The job, as expected, gets stressful. Hell, even the great Daniel Day-Lewis couldn’t handle what I do. A few times during the summer, I will take a Friday off and spend a long weekend at my parents’ lake house in Indiana. During those weekends, I fish, go on boat rides, watch a horror movie or two, and relax. Come Monday, my batteries are recharged and I’m ready to take on the claims.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is my video game lake house. (more…)

Get those pre-orders ready, gamers. The next generation starts in five months (give or take).

Sony @ E3 13: Used games on PS4 OK, system not always online
SCEA President Jack Tretton just announced during Sony’s E3 Press Conference that the PS4 will support used games. Game sharing is also as simple as giving the game disc to your friend. Furthermore, the PS4 will not be required to check-in online, like the Xbox One requires.
The announcement resulted in a huge pop from the audience.
Sony @ E3 13: Mad Max game announced for PS4
A very gritty trailer for a new Mad Max game for the PS4 was shown during Sony’s conference today. Not much was shown, but I’m sure we can expect open-world, Borderlands-esque gameplay.
The game will be developed by Avalanche Studios, confirming rumors that we’ve been hearing for quite a while now.
