It’s that time of year again! The car insurance is due out, there’s endless bills, and sadly, I have to eat, so I have little or no cash to spend on the things that truly matter, like video games! This happened last year though, and hopefully it’ll pass pretty sharpish… What a bad time for it to happen though! In only 4 days we have Brink’s release (May 13th), Brink being a game that I really bloody want, and not to mention L.A. Noire is out only a week later (May 20th). Woe is me! I won’t be surprised, however, if I’m extremely irresponsible and get a hold of them one way or another anyway…

    I recently played through Cult of the Lamb, a satirical take on the concept of running a demonic cult. It turns horrific things like sacrificial rituals, cannibalism and straight up gaslighting abuse into hilarious amusements by filtering everything through its cartoonish lens.

    Deus Ex 3

    This trailer is already over a month old, so it’s only just still news (to people like me who somehow missed it, at least!) but if you’ve never heard of Deus Ex, you owe it to yourself to watch this gameplay trailer and be amazed at how bloody cool it looks.

    Top Ten of 2010 - 1. Mass Effect 2

    Finally we reach the game that took the number 1 spot in our top ten games of 2010, Mass Effect 2. A sci-fi, action-RPG masterpiece, this game well and truly deserves the top spot and all the prizes for everything it got right and the distinct lack of anything it got wrong.

    Deus Ex 3 info overload

    RockPaperShotgun have a whole load of new information about Deus Ex 3. I’m more excited about this game than any other this year, and if you ever played the original Deus Ex, I’m sure you’re equally as keen to get your hands on it. It sure does look as though they’re doing everything they can to produce a faithful prequel to the original, and put the misstep that was Invisible War in the past. Trailer below.
