Ubisoft’s I Am Alive will be coming to the PlayStation 3 next month. It’ll be available on the PlayStation Network on April 4. You can check out our review of the 360 version here.
There’s a book by Cormac McCarthy entitled “The Road”. It’s a sombre story about a man and his young son, travelling through a post-apocalyptic world and observing first-hand the kind of toll a mysterious event has taken on humanity, or at least what’s left of it.
Ubisoft Shanghai’s upcoming adventure/survival game I Am Alive sure does look cool. Back when I saw the game a few months ago, I was impressed, with its gritty realism, and how it recalled Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Just the other day, Stephen checked it out and was equally impressed.

The Xbox 360 “House Party” of new downloadable games is official: Warp ($US10, February 15), Alan Wake’s American Nightmare ($US15, February 22), Nexuiz ($US10, February 29) and I Am Alive ($US15, March 7). You get $US10 in Xbox Points if you buy them all.
Ubisoft’s “Encounters” trailer for I Am Alive has what seems to be the protagonist giving advice on life in a dog-eat-dog world. “People more than dust are the most dangerous thing you’re going to encounter,” and the ways to deal with them are numerous.
Those familiar with adventure game Uncharted will notice something familiar about I Am Alive — it’s climbing gameplay.
The next Xbox 360 “House Party” — a promotional rush of a bunch of new downloadable games, probably released one a week — will be headlined by Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, according to a trailer that’s leaked through Xbox.com.
