E3: Ascend: New Gods coming to Xbox 360 in 2013
[Update: Watch the debut trailer above!] [Update #2: New screenshots and concept art] As showing during Microsoft's E3 press conference, gameplay looks very action-based and it will have "asynchronous multiplayer" in some way, shape, or form. The concept sounds interesting enough, so hopefully the ideas and gameplay will make this rather aesthetically generic game shine in 2013. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)looks cool, knowing Signal and MS it will be XBLA game - sony would immediately slap 60$ price tag on it and then cut out paid day one DLC. Looks very God Of War-ish. Hopefully this game can avoid the missteps of Dante's Inferno and be something more than thinly veiled plagarism. Doubt it heavily, tho. 12:00 PM on 05.24.2013 Sold: Green Man Gaming has Tomb Raider for $13.60When a well-received big-budget game falls below that magical $20 price point, I'm in. Green Man Gaming has an excellent deal on Tomb Raider which drops the PC version from $49.99 all the way down to $16.99. And with the promo code GMG20-LLASD-D8WBQ, it's $13.60. Yes, that is ridiculous! Act sooner than later, as the deal is good through the rest of the day.
