Armored Core: Verdict Day announced for 360 and PS3
[Update: Namco Bandai has just announced the game will see a US release. More official screens have been added to the gallery.] Although Armored Core V didn't deliver the goods for a lot of people, I still have hope for the franchise as a long-term fan. Namco Bandai is going to attempt to rekindle that with a new game in the series: Armored Core: Verdict Day for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It'll be set in a chaotic future, with varying factions vying over resources. You can form squads in multiplayer or play with AI in a solo campaign. Operator Mode will return, and save data will also carry over from V. Right now we only have a Japanese release date of this summer, and an announcement of a Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Australia localization as well. There's no US release information as of yet.

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?

3:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Watch the worst Fallout game ever madeJordan and I have started a new game in our Couch Campaign, and it's one that I have been excited to play since we first began talking about the project. As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
