AO Version of Manhunt 2 On Direct2Drive Today
By Joe Haygood | November 6, 2009
After a rather lackluster release following controversy on the consoles and with the ESRB, Manhunt 2 is finally releasing on the PC in all of its AO glory. Or is that infamy? I am not exactly sure, depending on your feelings about Manhunt 2. The game is currently available on Direct2Drive only for $29.95 and carries the AO rating. Also, they are throwing in the first Manhunt as a freebie if you pre-order still. Apparently since the game has not unlocked yet, you can still get that freebie, but I am not sure how much longer it will be available.
Do you feel that this release is a good strategy, and if it has success, do you feel it will get developers talking about the AO rating on the consoles? I for one do not know how the game will actually play out on the PC, but I enjoyed the first Manhunt, and I like to support those that take a little risk with a title like Manhunt 2.
New Splinter Cell: Conviction Developer Diary
By Joe Haygood | November 6, 2009I am not sure about the other writers on the staff, but the more that I see of Splinter Cell: Conviction, the more I am convinced that it is going to be a huge title for 2010. In this developer diary from Ubisoft, we get to see more of the combat abilities that Sam Fisher will use in Splinter Cell: Conviction, including pistol use and Krav Maga.
Also, catch the reaction of the one developer when he hears Michael Ironside lay down his first voice overs for Splinter Cell: Conviction. It is priceless.
Star Trek Online: The Future Past Part 2
By Joe Haygood | November 6, 2009This latest video from Cryptic Studios gives more history on the Star Trek universe as it leads up to the current history in Star Trek Online. It looks like we have Gorn, Klingons, Starfleet and more doing battle in Cryptic’s universe. What, no love for Orion slave girls?
The video also shows off more pre-alpha game footage that really does look good. Star Trek Online is sill heading towards a Spring 2010 release.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition Hits Shelves
By Joe Haygood | November 4, 2009
What a difference a year makes. After being left out for last year’s release, PC owners are finally treated to a little Secret Apprentice action, as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition has finally hit store shelves.
For our patience, PC owners are treated to a few new alternate universe missions that have the Secret Apprentice taking over the role of Darth Vader, as he seeks out the last of the Rebel Alliance. Along the way, you will run into a few familiar faces, including one Luke Skywalker, as seen above.
Hit the jump for the full press release on all the additions, as well as a few more choice screenshots from the game.
Review: Dreamkiller (PC)
By Joe Haygood | November 4, 2009
After playing through Dreamkiller, I spent a week trying to put together the review for the game. It is not like I hated the game, or overly liked the game, but it was more about me trying to place the game in a proper context. Some will enjoy it, and some will hate it, but it does carve out a niche of its own, but only if you look at it as a throwback title to the FPS games of 5-10 years ago.
Ones To Watch: PC Games for November 2009
By Joe Haygood | November 2, 2009
For the month of November on the PC, we have a surprisingly small release schedule that is worth the gamers hard earned dollars. We have a console port making its debut on the PC with new missions, more zombies chasing survivors, classic RPG dungeon crawling and an 8000 pound gorilla having to deal with modern warfare.
Our case mod to the left is a Pentagram case mod that uses a circular case, along with a cut out glowing pentagram stuck to the side of the case. If you would like to see more of this case modification, head over to Ubergizmo to check it out. Also, when you read the specs on the unit, you are going to wonder why anyone would build such a beautiful mod that could not play much of anything gaming related.
Make sure to check out our other Ones to Watch articles for the PS3/PSP, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii/DS.
Character Montage of Screens from Runaway: A Twist of Fate
By Joe Haygood | October 29, 2009
Runaway: A Twist of Fate is finalizing development at the Pendulo Studios in Madrid, Spain, and they sent over several new character shots from the game. Also, they let us know that Runaway: A Twist of Fate would include an in-game hint system, and it is rather interesting how they implemented it.
When you get stuck, you call the “Players in Distress” office, which is staffed by Joshua, a character from the Runaway series of games, who will point players in the right direction, without being overly obvious.
Check out the jump for some more of the character screenshots.
New Screens From Star Trek Online
By Joe Haygood | October 29, 2009
With Star Trek Online going into its closed beta phase, Atari and Cryptic were nice enough to send over a new batch of screenshots from the latest build of the game. So far, the game is looking really good for an early build, and I am trying to find out who I have to buy off to get into the closed beta.
Check the jump for a dozen screens from Star Trek: Online.

This donation drive runs from November 4th to November 8th.
Each episode of Wallace and Gromit will run 800 points on the Xbox Live Marketplace. If you are interested in purchasing the box set of Wallace and Gromit on the PC, follow the link to the Telltale Store.
Bioware Talks Up The Warden Quest Event in London
By Joe Haygood | October 28, 2009Late last week, we mentioned that Bioware was looking for a replacement for TeamUSA to participate in their Warden Quest event at London, England. Now it appears that the event has started and that you can watch all the action in the event by going to www.wardenquest.com.
10 teams are battling it out for Dragon Age: Origins supremacy, while a team will face elimination every couple of hours. The winning team will take a four way split of $50,000 in prize money.
So to recap, 40 gamers get a trip to London, England to compete for $12,500 in cash, while playing Dragon Age: Origins before anyone else. Me = jealous.
