Gameplay footage of Epic Mickey 2 finally hits the web. Now gamers might shy away by the fact that it's a Mickey Mouse game and all, but Epic Mickey has always been an amazing game thanks to its great level design and concept. That's one mans opinions, plus the Wii needs some love before it gets replaced by the Wii U.
This gameplay footage was from the Wii version of the game.
Epic Mickey 2 is aiming for a release sometime this September for Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Even though the sequel is going mult-platform, the Wii will still be its leading console.
I'm picking up my blaster, put it on my side, I'm jumpin' in my Falcon, Wookiee at my side. Wait what!? Yes, not only do you pretend to be a Jedi in Kinect: Star Wars, you can also show off your moves in their Dance Central-ish dance mode. I'm laughing my ass off at the same time quite disappointed as a Star Wars fan.
Not sure how well it will do in sales but I highly doubt the new Kinect: Star Wars will fly for any core gamers. Casual? Definitely , but I remember Microsoft saying Kinect: Star Wars is one of those titles that would appeal to core gamers. Well, doesn't look like it. Here's the release trailer of Kinect: Star Wars.

On a side note, that Xbox 360 Star Wars edition just looks amazing.
If you're looking for a downloadable game similar to games like Gradius or Type- R, Sine Mora is the game for you. Metacritics show that this Xbox Live arcade game is doing well with the critics. Of course it will do well, when's was the last time you've seen a game like this? It's good to see that some game developers keep games like this alive.
It's a bit refreshing seeing side scroller shot em ups like these. I remember being so focus playing the Gradius games because those damn bullets are everywhere in the screen. That's why I might buy this game because that Insane Mode reminds me of the good old days. The game is already out on Xbox Live for 1,200 MS points. I've been considering on getting a new Live Arcade and It's a coin toss of either I Am Alive or Sine Mora now.
A new trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was just released revealing it's launch date. Looks promising for gamers looking for a decent Transformer game, I just hope the whole dubstep music is only present in trailers.
If you're looking for actual gameplay footage, here's one youtube video showing just that. Game Trailers TV talks to Game Director Matt Tieger about each unique ability given to each character in the game.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is out on August 28, 2012 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Rockstar just released the first video of a new video series that introduces Max Payne 3's multiplayer, and it look pretty damn good. It talks about the multiplayer's core features - Gang Wars, Payne Killer, and integrating Max Payne's famous bullet time into multiplayer.
Gang Wars is said to be a battle between the faction in Max Payne 3. It's story driven with objectives changing depending on the outcome of each match. While in Payne Killer, two lucky players get to play as Max Payne himself and his partner Raul Passos in the game as they go against waves of enemy players Max Payne style.
What I found very interesting is that they were able to add bullet time into multiplayer. Bullet Time is Max Payne's signature move that gives him the option to slow down time to better pick off enemies and dodge bullets. For multiplayer, when someone activates Bullet Time, only players in his line of sight will be engaged in Bullet Time. It is said in the video that Bullet Time is one of the burst abilities available to players, meaning there will be other abilities to be revealed that would suit your play style.
It's looking pretty good, it's Rockstar after all. When I heard Red Dead Redemption will have an open world multiplayer, I didn't think it was possible but it actually works and turned out fun. Now they added multiplayer on Max Payne without leaving Bullet Time behind.
This is the first video if the video series that talks all about multiplayer, so look out for the next few videos in the future.
Gamers have interesting game choices this month. Max Payne 3 comes out on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 May 15 and PC on May 29.
