Video: The Witcher 2 360 trailer is shatteringly cool

January 28, 2012 in Featured, Games, Video

You’ve gotta give a helluva lot of respect to CD Projekt, the guys behind The Witcher series. They refused to conform to using DRM, despite how many times The Witcher 2 was pirated, and they insisted on an initial exclusive PC release in a development world that’s consistently flying the multiplatform flag. They’re making an Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, and excitement ensues after the jump. Read the rest of this entry →

Screens: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is dino-mite!

January 27, 2012 in Featured, Games, PS3, Screens, Xbox 360

The Transformers titles have always been a little hit and miss. After a mediocre start by High Moon Studios the developer is going back to the drawing board with a significantly darker tone in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, taking place near the end of the Cybertronian Civil War. Here’s a few tasty new screens featuring a host of characters as well as ornery “Don’t call me fossil fuel” Grimlock. Read the rest of this entry →

Screens: First look at Modern Warfare 3′s map pack

January 26, 2012 in Featured, Games, PC/Mac, PS3, Screens, Xbox 360

It’s been tough deciding the online champ of the MW3 vs BF3 slugfest, with both parties making solid arguments. Battlefield 3 may be winning over the PC crowd but has constant VoIP issues on PS3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hasn’t taken much of a risk, but offers a tried-and-proven formula and is shortly about to fire off the first Call of Duty Elite monthly content drop.

Interview: Seth Olshfski on The Darkness II

January 25, 2012 in Featured, Games, Interviews

The Darkness is one of my favourite comics of all time. Not for the story or the violence, but more the way it constantly evolves with new artists and writers. The games are evolving, too. At a recent Insert Coin(s) event (pics here) I had a chance to chat with The Darkness II’s producer, Seth Olshfski. We talked about the game, his career and pet hates. Click over for the full interview. Read the rest of this entry →

Game Pitch: Left 4 Dead 3

January 24, 2012 in Featured, Games, Opinion

What is it with my obsession with zombies? Perhaps it’s just because I powered through The Walking Dead comics recently, or maybe it’s just that I don’t think we’ve seen them done properly in games… yet. I loved both Left 4 Dead games, despite the Classification Board’s best efforts to neuter the second game, but I had a core idea that I’d love to see in the series that has yet to be done.

Event: Insert Coin(s) presents: The Darkness II

January 22, 2012 in Events, Featured, Games

The boys at Insert Coin(s) know how to put on a party! This wasn’t just some new footage for The Darkness II; these guys throw arcade machines, a Milk bar, a DJ, heaps of booze and live art into the mix. The result? Utter chaos. Within 15 minutes you could barely move. After a few hours there wasn’t a spare spot to stand. rawDLC fought through the crowd to get a closer look. Read the rest of this entry →

January 20, 2012 in Featured, Games, Interviews, Preview, Video

For those that may not listen to our podcast (shame on you), rawDLC is excited for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It has been a long time since a game has left us yearning for more, and after a little hands-on time we were sold. Throwing caution to the wind, EA was nice enough to let us talk to the game’s lead designer, Ian Frazier. Check out what he had to say after the jump. Read the rest of this entry →

Video: Max Payne 3 shootin’ stuff in the face trailer

January 19, 2012 in Featured, Games, PS3, Video, Xbox 360

While some members of the rawDLC collective (cough Nachos) may have reservations about Max Payne 3 no longer having Remedy Games at the helm, I’m getting more and more excited about it. So much so that even the two month release date push back to May this year couldn’t even dampen my spirits. The way Max realistically moves is amazing as this video clearly illustrates.

Awesome fan art puts the “ass” into Assassin’s Creed

January 17, 2012 in Featured, Games, News

Sometimes to re-establish or make a connection with a franchise you need to find the right angle. I’ve been less than wowed by the last few iterations of Assassin’s Creed (with Revelations the best of the bunch) but stumbled upon some brilliant fan art that helped me find the love again. The fact that these tributes happen to also celebrate the female form has absolutely nothing to do with it. Read the rest of this entry →
