Buy God of War for early access to The Last of Us demo
In a move that may very well get people who were already going to buy God of War: Ascension to pick up a copy sooner than later, it's been announced that Kratos' new game will include early access to a demo for The Last of Us. These people know us all to well. To be clear, it sounds as if the demo won't be accessible during Ascension's March 12 launch -- Naughty Dog says that through the disc, "you can obtain The Last of Us demo for free as soon as it becomes available" -- but this is still a nice bonus. As a reminder, the full game won't be releasing until May 7. Seeing that it's one of my most anticipated titles for this year, that's entirely too far away. Did you know?

6:00 PM on 05.07.2013 Jack the Reaper feels like a long-lost SNES plaftormerIt's one thing to look like a Super Nintendo title, but Jack the Reaper from Dream's Bell checks all of the right boxes: style, sound, gameplay, and even the opening cinematic feel like the mid-'90s in concentrated form. This...
4:30 PM on 05.03.2013 Fuse demo drops next week with split-screen supportThe general vibe I'm getting about Fuse is that of disappointment. The cooperative shooter isn't what people want from Insomniac Games, and although I feel similarly, we should probably wait until we have first-hand expe...

| 12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of Us |

I 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?more
