XCOM E3 2011 demo

/

Just like Bioshock: Infinite and Metro: First Light, 2k Games Only showed a new trailer for their take on XCOM with their gameplay demo only shown for the people at E3. Now they finally released the demo with commentary. I've said this before and I'll say it again, "why is XCOM an FPS!?".

I mean, I love XCOM. It was an amazing game back then. Why can't they just improve the old concept instead? XCOM was originally a strategy game with turn-based actions, and it's pretty deep for a game made in 1994. Commanding your two agents and the weapon research is the only thing in this game that is true to the old XCOM games. Newcomers to XCOM might have a kick out of this, but gamers that knew the old XCOM games won't like the direction that 2k Games took for their take on XCOM.

Here's an idea of the original game. I remember me being pretty cautious since an alien can be in any corner to ambush your men. It's all about strategy.

Post apocalyptic Moscow is looking better than ever. The whole setting of the game is in Moscow's metro system underground. With the nuclear fallout in the surface, mostly everybody is now living in the metro, trying to survive with mutants and other factions in the metro. It's dark and scary, and most of the time you only see your flashlight as you go around the Metro. Another FPS that I just can't wait to get my hands on. Here's part 1 and part 2 of the E3 demo if you missed it.

If you want a good old classic FPS title that focuses only on the single player, you should try out the first game, Metro 2033. It will give you a better understanding about what Last Light is all about, plus It's just a great shooter that gave me that old Doom feel.

Metro: Last Light will be out next year 2012, no release date yet.

 

Bioshock Infinite E3 gameplay demo coming soon..

During this year's E3, Bioshock Infinite made an appearance but only revealed a new trailer to the public, not a new demo. A 15 minute demo was showcased in their E3 booth for people to try out but was hidden in closed doors. Now, their finally revealing the demo shown at E3 2011 in Spike TV on July 7th, and together with that announcement, they give us a small teaser of that 15 minute demo.

oh the hype! the game looks amazing. The creators of Bioshock has left Rapture for now and created a whole new world again but instead of an underwater city, a floating city up in the air called Columbia.

Sadly this is set for a 2012 release so we'll have to wait months before we get our hands on Bioshock Infinite. It's cool though, since we have tons of games to keep us busy this 2011. But if you haven't played Bioshock 1 or 2, you guys should definitely check it out. You won't regret it, especially the first game.
