Get Ready For The Release Of ‘Infamous: Second Son’ With Eight Minutes Of New Gameplay Footage!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the live action ad released earlier this week, Sony has debuted a new eight minute preview of Infamous: Second Son, which hits stores on March 23rd. Sucker Punch is clearly using everything that they’ve learned from the franchise’s first two iterations, and is really turning the dial up to 11 with all of their new ideas and gameplay mechanics.

Seriously, those reflections, those particles, that action… Second Son is going to freaking rock, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

You can take a look at the new video below (you’ll want to watch the entire thing, trust me) and let us know if you’ll be picking the game up! With Titanfall (which is unreal, read our review here), MGS: Ground Zeroes, and Infamous: Second Son all releasing in March, it’s going to be a busy month!

Live-Action Ad Reminds Us How Excited We Are For ‘Infamous: Second Son’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re just a few weeks away from the anticipated launch of one of the PS4’s most anticipated games, Infamous: Second Son. Sucker Punch is clearly using everything that they’ve learned from the franchise’s first two iterations, and is really turning the dial up to 11 with all of their new ideas and gameplay mechanics.

A new live-action ad has just launched for the game. As it’s live action, it doesn’t actually feature any footage from the title, but it reminds me of how damned excited I am for it.

You can take a look at the video below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to the launch of Infamous: Second Son on March 23rd!

New ‘Infamous: Second Son’ Trailer Shows Off A Breathtaking Seattle!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Sony today debuted a brand-new look at the Sucker Punch PS4 exclusive Infamous: Second Son.

As a huge fan of the Infamous series thus far, I have to say that Second Son looks extremely promising. Sucker Punch is clearly using everything that they’ve learned from the franchise’s first two iterations, and is really turning the dial up to 11 with all of their new ideas and gameplay mechanics.

Today’s video explores the game’s new setting, Seattle, and it’s easy to see that Infamous: Second Son is set to be the PS4’s best looking game to date. Take a look at the new preview below, and let us know what you think!

Infamous: Second Son hits stores on March 21st!

The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead – PC, PSN, XBLA

Telltale Games decided to spring this one on us at the last second with the announcement on Monday. Not to say that I am mad about that, it’s just unexpected to not announce the release date two or more weeks in advance. I’m sure Long Road Ahead will continue the intense pace and more gut-wrenching story moments like episode 2 brought us. After all the stats Telltale Games has shown about the choices people made in previous episodes, I am curious if people will start to change the way they play in order to screw with those stats or continue to play honestly.

Jena Malone Joins Cast Of ‘The Hunger Game: Catching Fire’

by Shawn Madden

Deadline is reporting that Jena Malone (Sucker Punch) has been cast in the role of Johanna Mason in the sequel to The Hunger Games. Other actresses had been up for the role and Malone was first rumored to be in talks earlier in the month and has now officially signed on. Johanna Mason is the female victor of an unidentified Games from District 7. She was reaped for the third Quarter Quell. She was one of the youngest tributes in the Quarter Quell. She is the last living female victor of District 7, whose principal industry is lumber. In her original Hunger Games, Johanna pretended to be a weakling, feigning hunger and fatigue, when in reality she was sly and cunning. She is considered to be most psychologically scarred Quarter Quell participants.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters November 22, 2013.
