The Video Game Awards were this weekend and some games won some prizes. More importantly were the new game trailers that were released, and I’ve embedded 3 of my favourites below for your viewing pleasure. Check out the new Alan Wake game, awesome footage of Mass Effect 3, and the first footage of Naughty Dog’s new game The Last of Us.
Alan Wake: American Nightmare
Not Alan Wake 2, as Remedy have been clear to explain, this new game is download-only, so expect it on the Xbox Live Arcade sometime next year. It looks like more Alan Wake, basically. That can’t be a bad thing, but I hope they really do get the chance to make a true sequel somewhere down the line.
Mass Effect 3
So, its a video of Shepherd running towards a Reaper by himself, and I say out loud “what can even Shepherd do against THAT?”. And I am immediately hushed when a thresher maw leaps out of the ground and tries to eat it. Oh, fuck yes.
The Last of Us
If Naughty Dog were working on this during the development of Uncharted 3, then it explains a lot. They should have focused on making Uncharted less of an unfair balls-ache before coming up with a new IP. Still, can’t deny I’m intrigued by the prospect of a post-apocalyptic game made by these guys.
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. You are a sheep, after all, and all your followers are sycophantic anthropomorphic […]
Hello, world! This post marks the moment in time and space when BangClickReload got a little redesign and was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Every post before this point is rather old and might not look right, and unless I decide to go through them all to fix them, they’re going to […]
I’ve been pretty absent from PC gaming for some time, since moving to Canada in early 2017, because I haven’t had a proper computer to play games on. That has recently changed, since I got myself set up with a new gaming rig that can handle pretty much anything that’s out at the moment. I […]
Years after it’s release, I felt the need a few months ago to grab a copy of the World in Conflict complete edition from the bargain shelf in Game, since it was only £3. I was buying Dead Space 2 at the time, so I had my priorities, too, before I could get round to actually playing it. I always fancied the look of it, and so I decided to whet my appetite for a decent strategy game I hadn’t played yet.
Bioware has announced part 3 of its Mass Effect sci-fi saga, with this awesome cgi trailer. Looks highly likely we’ll get to explore Earth this time around, or its’ ruins…
The new Prince of Persia game treads very familiar ground. As a fan of the original trilogy, I went into this new instalment with certain expectations, and have generally come away pretty satisfied. 2008’s Prince of Persia game was disappointingly easy (it was literally impossible to die) whereas The Forgotten Sands goes back to its roots: brilliant environmental puzzles with the occasional simple, repetitive, yet fun combat.
