Wrex is back onboard. The bromance is finally reunited!

This was actually my first drawing/comics with my brand new wacom tablet a few weeks back, so excuse the brightness and the strange lineart...

#AwesomeCosplay Pics of the day: Tali

Here's another Mass Effect cosplay pic.
This one is a quite impressive recreation of Tali'Zorah in a great shot with a bit of creative photoshop work:

It looks simply stunning!
The game come to life!

Mighty impressive work, I just love Hidrico's photos :)

AwesomeCosplay Pics of the day: Mass Effect's Samara

Here's a pretty kickass cosplay picture.

It's Mass Effect's Samara the asari. And why does she look so goshdarn faithful and incredible? Simply because she's being portrayed here by "Rana", the model which Bioware used for the actual character design:

She does look quite stunning!

Also, that's one mighty impressive costume, quite detailed and recognizable.

Impressive! ~<3

#AprilsFool - Mass Effect Cartoon debut trailer

IGN always has the best April's Fools jokes!
This year they went with a Mass Effect cartoon, it's priceless!

If you haven't seen it yet, enjoy:



You know what?
I'd totally watch that! :D

Gamin' NEWS! Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer

Bioware just released Mass Effect 3's Launch Trailer!
Which is awesome, cause the game's gonna be out here next week, on March 9.

Check it out,


 
Looking good! 
Which is probably just because I'm super pumped up for this game , cause it's not that an incredible trailer.
A bit grey-sh, not quite great looking. The game is poorly represented, with the choices of the scenes represented here a bit dull...

Anyway, can't wait to play this one next week! :D 

Gamin' NEWS! Mass Effect LIVE

So, Bioware just released a live-action trailer for their upcoming Mass Effect 3 game.

It's kinda epic, all in all.
Short. Simple. But epic.



On another note, there's gonna be a Mass Effect manga now? Really?
And one featuring some kinda alternate reality/cute chibi art/school girl version of the ME gals?
Noooo! Nothing like that, you perverted mind.
Sort of like that Evangelion romance/comedy manga.

It's true!

It's gonna be drawn by the mangaka Michi Michiru. Showcasing the scifi universe of ME under a more mundane and silly point of view.
In "Teach me! Professor Mordin!"
Check it out!

Ad - Mass Effect 3 : "Take Earth Back"

Here's a brand new Mass Effect 3 trailer.
For some random reason, it starts like this...



Surely, since this was a TV ad for the upcoming game, they thought adding a bit of human (a child? really) interaction could help sell this big scifi epic game. (it aired in the middle of AMC's The Walking Dead)

But the message is sort of lost in translation. People will only think "what is this random Star Wars-imitation?" "yet another random violent shooter for teens!"...
Not "hey, look! the conclusion of an epic deep interesting action-RPG for a mature audience".

I surely do not think so after this random mixed bag of a trailer :/

Random - Mass Effect easter egg "Legion shows us his moves"

Here's something random. From Mass Effect.

A little random scene, in the video game Mass Effect 2.
If you wait enough time, Legion starts dancing around :P

Yeah, I know. Totally random.
Enjoy!



Seriously though, what's with all the dancing in Mass Effect?? XD
Bioware's new obsession?! Upcoming ME spinoff? :P

AwesomeCosplay Pics of the day: Mass Effects

A photographer over at BGZ Studios collected an impressive portfolio of Mass Effect related cosplay photos.

Check it out!
It's worth a look!

Gamin' NEWS! VGA Awards - various new trailers

So, once more Spike TV hosted their famous VGA Awards.
The Spike Video Game Awards 2011 to be precise. (but people tend to repeat Awards after VGA for some reason...)

Besides the random events due to their annoucements, silly announcers, star power hosting the show and whatnot, they also had a bunch of new trailers for many of the upcoming games.
(I mean...That's why I only check the latest game trailers instead of the whole event-thingie.)

Amongst those of interest to me, there was some news regarding my most expected titles of 2012. Like Mass Effect, Bioshock and many others!
Let's check 'em out, okay? :)
First up, right when nobody was expecting it, there's more Duke Nukem Forever coming!
(I hear you booo-ying already...)
('reminds me I should put up DNF's review up one of these days....)
It's set in Area 51 and will actually be some more offline campaign.

Once you’ve done that, you may not be interested in playing more, but, well, the option is available, as 2K Games today announced The Doctor Who Cloned Me, a single-player add-on set in Area 51.
The Doctor Who Cloned me costs $9.99, launches everywhere on December 13, and includes new enemies, bosses, weapons, achievements and additional places to interact with for an ego boost. There are also four multiplayer maps--Sky-High, Command, Drop Zone, Biohazard--to run around in.

And here's the unique pic so far:

Give me much better designed maps (my main problem with the original game...so linear, boring, lazy levels design and graphics...) and SECRETS! Loads of 'em! And perhaps I'll be able to start to forgive this mess of a game..


Next up, Agent 47 is in back in the long-awaited next chapter of the Hitman franchise, Hitman: Absolution!

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Hitman: Absolution - VGA 2011: Exclusive Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

I gotta tell ya guys and gals, this is looking great so far! I can't wait enough to try this one.
The mix of CGi (from the game's intro?)  and actual in-game graphics didn't even bother me, it just showcases how nicely this is shaping up.
I missed Agent 47!
The Hitman games were so much fun, you could play them stealth killer-style or go nuts guns ablazin'!
I hope Square Enix didn't get too much of an executive control, the game would suffer from it. Let the developers have fun with this one!


To stay on the subject (kinda), here's finally the reveal trailer of Alan Wake: American Nightmare.
Which seems to be a "What if..?" kinda episode which will be available for DLC only (no original game need..so, huh, it's an Arcade title on digital story if you want).

Alan Wake's American Nightmare  finds our literary hero pitted against his doppelganger Mr. Scratch to keep the world from going to hell. 

Enjoy the ride:

It looks a bit more action oriented than last time.
Looking nice indeed!


Let's see something completely different on the other hand:

Get More: GameTrailers.com, The Amazing Spider-Man - VGA 2011: Exclusive Debut Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

It's The Amazing Spider-Man, the video game adaptation of the (rebooted) movie of the same name.
Activision and Beenox are promising an open world environment this time. So I'm sure it will sell well, and people will love it...but I'm already missing the more structured level-based titles.. (Shattered Dimensions still is my current favorite Spidey game)


The recently announced new Transformers: Fall of Cybertron also gets a brand new trailer:

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - VGA 2011: Exclusive Debut Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Wow! Lookin quite badass for silly toy robots in CGi! (Ha!)
This one is an original title rather than a movie adaptation, it is the follow-up to War of Cybertron. A 3rd person shooter.


Speaking of, the long awaited final episode of the famous scifi RPG trilogy Mass Effect 3 gets a brand new kickass trailer!
This one is mostly composed of actual gameplay footage, which looks amazing if you ask me!

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Mass Effect 3 - VGA 2011: Exclusive Gameplay Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Woah!
This is looking great!
Though it's funny how the series transitioned from the RPG genre to the 3rd Person Shooter genre through the 3 installments. Doesn't bother me since I'm not a big RPG fan to begin with. (I hate grinding system mechanics forcing you to gather points of experience TO BE ABLE to shoot an enemy rather than being able to correctly aim at an enemy directly and be rewarded for your own gameplay rather than stats...)
Anyway, cannot wait for this one! :D


On the opposite spectrum, here's something unexpected!
Remember the Tony Hawk skating games? Yeah...those used to be good or at least fun enough to have a good time once in a while. The series had so many entries and spinoff since then, I doubt anyone was able to follow all that!

Anyway, they just announced a brand new title...and it's an old title to be exact.
A compilation!

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD will be a collection of the first two games!

The teased Tony Hawk game was revealed in a red carpet segment during the Spike VGA preshow. It is called Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, and it takes from the first two THPS titles to make a soft of best-of game. Of course, they'll also get a HD upgrade. Hawk says that this will be a digital release, and it will be priced under $20.
More details will be released later in the show.

Ha!
What? I find that hilarious!


Let's have a look at yet another fighting game now.
One of my most awaited releases of 2012!

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - VGA 2011: Exclusive Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Live!
Pretty nice B)

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is expected for an holiday 2012 release.
And here's some gameplay fro the VGA:

Looking great! :D
Always had a preference for Tekken Tag over the "normal" Tekken entries. It's just a much more random and fun variant of the series (unlike Tekken 4, which was a less fun and more bland entry of the series...in actual 3D - gameplay-wise)


Finally, let's finish this post on a great note.

Here's the prettiest, most awaited title (at least, on my part) and original looking game of the whole show!
BioShock Infinite!!

Get More: GameTrailers.com, BioShock Infinite - VGA 2011: Exclusive Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

"Step back into the flying city of Columbia and get a glimpse at all-new enemies in this trailer from the Spike TV Video Game Awards of 2011!"

This game is looking amazing!

Outstanding!

And I love the art style and colors here.

It annoys me how people complain it's not "gritty" or "realistic" enough. It's not cartoony! (and being "cartoony" shouldn't be a problem ya bunch of crybabies!!)

It has a very distinct and unique looking art direction, and I love it, the more reasons for it.

For once a games steps back from the usual Unreal-engined powered generic look.

And dares standing out!

This flying steampunk world is looking gorgeous!

Give me some of dat! >__<

Felicia Day playing with herself.

...
What?

Anyway, here's a follow-up of sorts to this previous post.
Wanna see how fun, or awkward it is to play with your own digital alter ego?



Felicia plays a bit of the Dragon Age DLC "Mark of the Assassin".

She even has to pay for her own DLC? Bad EA, bad!

Gamin' NEWS! First look at upcoming new original Bioware game

Here's the first pic of BioWare’s upcoming next franchise!

And..it could be anything really..
It will be an original title, something new...
But really, from this pic, it could be anything! An RPG, an action game...
Another Mass Effect-like experience but with some crazy stunt guy-hero?
A MDK2-like shooter/action title?
Dudes fighting giant robots in post-apocalyptic landscapes?
Crash Test Dummies: The Videogame?

Who knows!~

Gamin' NEWS! "Mark of the Assassin DLC"

Here's Felicia Day turned into a Dragon Age II character in an upcoming DLC episode:



Random.
I just hope Bioware won't do the same with future Mass Effect 3 DLC characters and missions..
I mean, it can be fun with their fantasy-RPG series and The Guild's actress, I see the link, sure.
But I sure won't like having "real actors" popping-up as bonus squad members* in their scifi action-RPG series as well...
We already have fake!Vandamme there, that's more than enough.

*of course we already have that with Seth Green/Joker and Yvonne Strahovski/Miranda, but that's besides the point. I'm talking about additional "celebs" getting into the game via paid add-ons.

Gamin' NEWS! Mass Effect 3 trailer

The E3 has ended, but we can still enjoy this kickass Mass Effect 3 trailer Bioware has released recently:

Tags: GameTrailers.com, The Fall of Earth Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Looking great, if, a bit similar/close to Mass Effect 2.
And story-wise, it will be the end of the series/trilogy!
