Watch Remember Me’s Protagonist Get Really Pissed Off
Can you blame Nilin, the protagonist of Capcom’s 2013-slated Remember Me? Look at all the crap she has to deal with, from guards chasing her down to helicopters incessantly shooting at her as she scales the sides of buildings. She’s annoyed, and for good reason.
Here’s How Activision Justifies Charging More For Angry Birds On Console
Pretend (?) you run a gaming company. If you could bring the biggest mobile game there is purchasable in stores, would you do it? If you’re the largest game publisher in the world, then it’s not such a tough question. Surprise surprise, Activision is publishing Rovio’s Angry Birds for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo 3DS, even though it’s free on Android and available for way less on iOS.
Social Networks Are Being Used Against Us In Remember Me
What if a game let you go inside of the heads of characters and manipulate their memories? A year ago a small Paris-based studio called Dontnod revealed a game called Adrift that let you do just that.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is next year’s update of the venerable Tom Clancy series from Ubisoft, promising new weapons and classic method, if not the classic Sam Fisher voice actor. Nonetheless, you can catch 12 minutes slam full of gameplay in this annotated developer video.

Now with Dead Space developer Visceral Games at the helm, the franchise is being fine-tuned with a gold and chrome toolkit.
Real Weapon Sellers Will Be So Jealous Of These Borderlands 2 Videos
The same week EA pulls links to weapon and gear manufacturers from its Medal of Honor: Warfighter website, the arms crafters (ArmsCrafters — ready in about an hour) of Borderlands 2 get not one but three separate full-blown video ads. Some days it just doesn’t pay to be real.
Black Ops: Declassified Has A Promising Gamescom Debut, But The Jury’s Still Out
Still aching to scratch that FPS itch at school, work, on the bus, or anywhere that isn’t home? And not with virtual controls? Sony’s handheld Vita, with its twin analogue sticks, should have been the device to scratch that itch. Sadly, though, the handheld has been light on first person shooters even after six months on the market. Activision aims to change that with Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, a Vita-only version of the most popular FPS around, Call of Duty. The game was unveiled with a gameplay trailer yesterday at Sony’s Gamescom press conference, and I got to see more of it at the show afterward.
