THQ Pre-E3 Event + First Look at WWE 13

THQ Australia have recently had their Pre-E3 showcase of their upcoming titles, and while I was unfortunately not able to attend, I've still got a lot of footage and info from it. The footage is in the above video, which you can see in a better size on Youtube, but since I'm generous, have some game info and screenshots as well! :D

My First Hour With Dragon's Dogma

I recorded my first hour of my playthrough of Capcom's new Action RPG, Dragon's Dogma. I figured this game wouldn't be appropriate for a Let's Play because I want to take it at my own pace, which would mean the videos would be very long and uninteresting to watch. I thought an occasional video like this would be much more enjoyable for all of us :)

If you haven't got this game yet, you're really missing out. It's got a huge, open world, which you can explore and hunt enemies in, or just goof off like I did for most of this hour, and has some really interesting mechanics, like Pawn sidekicks that learn from you and other players. The combat is much more engaging than most RPG's, and the game isn't a total cakewalk, either. I'll try to get a full review done eventually.

Enter The Metro released, Armoured Core Heavy Armour demo released, Dragon's Dogma footage incoming

Phew, big couple of days for THQ and Capcom!

First up, the live action short film "Enter the Metro", a tie-in with Metro 2033 and its upcoming sequel, Metro: Last Light.

Darksiders II- Death Strikes Part 2

THQ have released a new promotional video for Darksiders II!

"Last time you saw Death in a trailer he was about to face off a boss 10 times his size. We were evil enough to leave you with a “to be continued…”. Well I’m happy to share the Death Strikes Part II trailer.

Check out his skills as he make little work of a every foe he encounters!

The gaming industry needs to keep kids in mind

Figured I'd take a shot at writing an opinion piece. I have a lot of trouble putting my thoughts into words, so any feedback would be much appreciated! I think the idea of less kid-friendly games these days is a bigger issue than you might think.

Made a few tiny adjustments to my Avengers mini review

Saw the movie for a second time today, and it was just as great as it was the first time, aside from a screaming toddler who was making noise through part of it. As such, I added some tiny bits to the plot spoilery section of my review which people might find interesting, including a potential item of importance for the Avengers 2.

Black Ops 2- War Never Changes

Thought I'd put some footage from past COD reveal trailers beside the Black Ops 2 reveal trailer, and what do you know, it looks almost exactly the same! At some points, it IS the same, just reskinned. Who knew it was so easy to replace humans with robots, helicopters with drones, and skidoos with horses! Of course, not all of it's the same, but it's similar enough to show that the game really isn't going to change much through a new setting.

There are a few blank spots, which are due to one of three reasons:

1. It's the sergeant guy talking, which obviously isn't going to be in a past trailer

2. The comparison footage wasn't as long as in the BO2 trailer

3. I didn't focus as much on the generic shooty bits because it's pretty obvious that's the same. In the exception I found footage that resembled it way too much I included it.

So yeah, if you enjoyed this video, PLEASE like it, because I know the COD fanbase will be on my tail disliking this like there's no tomorrow, so if you want the truth to get out, please like it!

For extra laughs, mark this off while you watch the trailer!

And now I need to brace myself for the incoming flames! :D
