Sleeping Dogs is a game that, quite honestly, flew below my personal radar for a long time. In fact, outside of the occasional blast of media when it was a True Crime game from Activision, I never paid it any mind. Then Square Enix picked the project up. Then I found out that the title wasn’t

Max Payne 3 is the first game in the trilogy that was not created by Remedy Entertainment. Rockstar Games are the folks responsible for the publishing and development of Max’s newest romp. Don’t worry, the core components that made Max Payne, well, Max Payne remain intact. The terrible puns, the depressing storylines, the action-flick style

This news is a little frightening and frustrating. A United States patent application from Sony Computer Entertainment of America has turned up that may have some sad implications for gaming. The patent itself is exceptionally brief. Basically, it shows that Sony has eyes on interrupting in-game moments in order to show users brief advertisements. The

Listen up, lovers of adventure gaming, Ron Gilbert and Double Fine! A brand new story is heading your way. The Cave is a 2D take on a 3D world, it features a cast of unique characters and what appears to be elements of puzzle solving, fantasy and science fiction. Hear that? That’s the sound of nerds

Live action trailers for video games, as far as I’m concerned, are never really that good. They don’t do much to show off what’s coming, and it’s for that reason that I always take them lightly. The trailer at the head of this post, however, is engaging. It’s also depressing. The video’s description on YouTube

The video clip attached to this post packs within it, essentially, two things: German gaming writers talking about Lost Planet 3 and actual, in-game footage of Lost Planet 3. If you don’t speak German, don’t worry. You can just dodge all of the unfamiliar language and skip to the bits with the mechs, monsters and frozen

Far Cry 3, one of the most anticipated titles of 2012, has gotten an announcement trailer for the Insane Edition of the game. Sensitive ears be warned, the trailer uses some pretty strong language. The trailer for Far Cry 3: Insane Edition goes about the announcement in a unique way. When targeting gamers, unique is a

The beloved zombie slasher Dead Island is getting its very own Game of the Year edition release. Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition will be available on June 26th and will bundle the game’s original campaign, the Ripper weapon mod add-on, the Bloodbath Arena DLC and the single-player expansion Ryder White. With all of this content stuffed into a disc for only

The trailer above is actually made up of mostly (if not entirely) the game footage we had a chance to catch during the eyes-on preview at PAX East in Boston a month or so ago. There’s references to the Alien cannon within; stuff like the lower half of a once whole android. According to the folks

I loved the original Borderlands. The combination of solid first person shooter gameplay, multiplayer gaming and sweet, sweet loot made it one of my favorite games to launch for this generation of consoles. Playing the title, though, left me with two major complaints: the game’s story was terrible and there wasn’t enough diversity. When I

The NHL franchise from EA Sports has been about evolving the game of video hockey ever so slightly since NHL 07. It was during that year that they introduced the Skill Stick. It took play off of the face buttons and put it on the right stick, something that feels exceptionally natural today. Six years later

This time around on We Play, we’re taking a look at Sega’s second effort in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 relaunch. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is available now on just about every platform (sans Wii). As I warn in the video, I wouldn’t exactly label myself an expert Sonic player. In fact, I’m terrible. The

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is the fourth game in the Sly series. It isn’t, however, being developed by the original creators of the brand. Sucker Punch isn’t handling this new game, that credit goes to Sanzaru Games. Sanzaru is the studio responsible for the recent Sly Cooper HD remake for the PlayStation 3. Glen Egan, President of Sanzaru, took

We suppose we should assert that the video above contains minor spoilers for those that have not yet played or completed Batman: Arkham City (like our own resident jerk, Sean Aune). Although, the name of this DLC, “Harley Quinn’s Revenge,” is almost spoilerish in and of itself. I will say this about the upcoming DLC…

When I first came to the PlayStation 3, I did so a few years after the console’s launch. It wasn’t until the machine started packing several enticing experiences that I was willing and able to pony up the necessary scratch to make the purchase. When I did, however, one of the first games I snagged

Following its big reveal earlier this month, Activision released the premiere teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which will launch on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC this November. But you can be sure that the teasing won’t stop there. Activision is set to air a second trailer this Saturday, May 19.

Several team members from Junction Point, including Chase Jones and Warren Spector, talk about what’s coming to the sequel for Disney Epic Mickey, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. This multiplatform adventure will feature drop-in/drop-out co-op, updated graphics, new storylines and brand new mechanics. Based on the preview footage and discussion, it’s looking

This brand new cinematic trailer launched by Sony and Naughty Dog puts Ellie and Joel in a really bad situation, and it does so with incredible visuals and an awesome soundtrack. In case you’re wondering, the song being sung throughout the clip is by Hank Williams Sr. It’s “Alone and Forsaken,” and its lyrics and

UPDATE: Absolutely not. The company guilty of false advertising? Sketchers. The shoes that tone your body, totally bogus. Original Story: The FTC posted an announcement today that could potentially stir a lot of things up inside the gaming industry. The headline of the announcement runs like so: FTC Announces Action Against Major Marketer of Consumer Goods The

Having played the game for what approached 45 minutes at PAX East with Square Enix, I can safely say that I like what I’ve witnessed in regards to the hand-to-hand combat this title offers up.

Starting next week, fans of the Max Payne franchise will be able to dive back into the world of bullet-time after an exceptionally long break. Max Payne 3, the first in the series developed entirely by Rockstar Games instead of Remedy Entertainment, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. PC gamers won’t have

Get ready to settle in for a look at in-game footage for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III. The trailer above checks in at two minutes and 25 seconds. A few bits of the footage (the guard hanging from the tree and the legions of riflemen on the battlefield) were actually part of the eyes-on gameplay

Normally, release date announces come in emails specifically about that subject. “Such-and-Such-3′s Release Date Announced,” is typically how the subject lines run. Square Enix elected to go a different route for the launch time of Hitman: Absolution. The news came to us by way of emailed press release. The subject line? SQUARE ENIX Announces HITMAN:

One of the most anticipated upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita, LittleBigPlanet, is officially getting a beta! Since the Vita was announced, LittleBigPlanet has been one of the games that people have been waiting for. Some people are even waiting to see what Sackboy has in store for the portable before they decide to pick

BioShock Infinite, the third game in the franchise and the second from Irrational Games, will no longer enjoy time on the marketplace during the fall of this year. Take-Two announced by way of press release this morning that Infinite will launch on February 26th, 2013. The good news here (because, hey, we’re the “always look on
